ABOUT THE MAIL
Telegram of the Prospector to
Northern City. First They
Knew Stalling Mail.
The following reprint from I lie
Nome Industrial Worker, in the
issue of January 8th, shows that
up to the lime the Prospector
telegraphed them they knew no
thing of Hie delay of the Nome
mail. Immediately upon receipt
of the dispatch from the Pros
pector the people at Nome wired
o C<»rdova and Fairbanks for con
lirmalion and when they assured
themselves t hat the mail was j
surely delayed they wired a pro-:
lest to Washington:
Is Nome mail being held up at '
j Cordova and Chit ina ?
The dispatch published below!
was received mi Monday from j
Valdez. It is well known that ev- j
cry once in a while the Copper j
River.railroad lias a mighty lot of!
trouble keeping its line dear.
What with washouts and slides
during the summer time and snow
slides in (he winter, the trains are
not infrequently delayed. Vl’liis
lasl fall—or what was fakr up in
this district—the Cordova railway
could not run a train for many
days, hut as (I10 mail was arriv
ing by boat this part of the coun
try experienced no delays. At I he
same time it has to be noticed
that there is considerable rivalry
between the two cities of Valdez
and Cordova, and the mail ship
ments represent no inconsider
able item, especially as travel
follows the mail trail. Therefore
the Industrial Worker, published
the below dispatch and wired
Cordova for information, trusting
implicitly upon the correctness
of their reply. No reply was
forthcoming yesterday in spite of
the fact that the wire for infor
mation was dispatched early yes
terday morning.
Mr. McManus, the superintend
ent of the mail service in the dis
trict of Alaska declares that he
has no official intimation of such
a delay ami believes that were
ther - any such lie would receive
it. In any event if there is a
congestion such as is reported
from Valdez it behoves Nome peo
ple who do not want their mail
delayed to get busy, for it is un
questionably quite true as as
sert-d by the ‘Prospector’ that
“ten years mail via Valdez never
over eleven days to Fairbanks in
worst storms.” The change was
not an improvement that was ve ■
ry noticeable anyway, and it Is .1
fact that more delays have oc
curred when the mail was routed:
via Chitina than when it can via j
the Valdez trail.
Valdez, Alaska, Jan. (>, '13.— In
dustrial Worker, Nome, Alaska:
Six weeks Nome mail accumulat
ed at Cordova; hopeless blockade,
on Copper River railroad. Heavy
gales on coast . Bo,Mi t rotaries
stalled and hauling fuel oil by
hand sleds. Cordova and Chitina
merchants protesting postal de
partment against interior mail
being routed via Valdez. Valdez
chamber commerce backing Mc
Intosh stage line thousand dollars
month keep trail open all winter.
Receiver Noyes, Fairbanks bank,
left here Saturday now at. Ton
sina. If you want any mail this
winter start a kick. Nome out
going mail stacked af Chitina, in
coming at Cordova. Ten years
mail via Valdez never over eleven
days to Fairbanks in worst
storms.
