SEW \KI> SHOCLO PROTEST
S *v av»l should at once make a pro
test against the Post Olfice Popart -
ment’s ruling that mail tor the' Idita
md during the coming winter is to h •
routed from Cordova, via Chitna. then
to I ait hanks and finally reaching Hat
City. Many hundreds miles, out of th*'
way are involved . and many days,
perhaps weeks. From Seward, to An
chorage then to Flat City, is a tiaii,
well traveled during the winter
months.
Anchorage should also take* the mat
tei of a piotest up and our sister rail
»oad » itv. Wnana. has already made
her protest.
I he mail can no transposed oy
rail to the • nd of steel on the Talkoct
na division. From there to the end o*‘
steel on th«* Xenana division it is a
matter of approximately l.’tO miles, o
th»*'♦' or fo days travel by dog team.
At X* nana then* is a splendid trail to
Flat City, or tathor there has always
boon one in previous winters, and it is
safe to say the same thing can be said
for next winter.
The trail from the end of steel on
the Xenana division to the end of
steel on the Talkeetna division will be
heavily traveled this coming winter
according to information receive*I
from Xenana. Those in Seward know
that there will be heavy travel from
hen* to the interior as the trail last
winter prove*! its worth by being
short** by several hundred miles than
th** trail from Xenana. via Fairbanks,
via i hitna t*» Cordova.
Some wiil say “what is the u-e >f
protesting now that tie* postoffice de
partment has made the ruling?"
Fiddlesticks with such argument-.
If Seward h;.d protes*r*l against the
inertia on the Seward Division two. or
even three years ago. instead of last
February. there would have been
something doing, for the protest mad*»
in February has >e**n more work done

The death of Isaac Kvans in the dis- J
