Some months ago an editorial
appeared in the Fairbanks News
Miner, of such importance that it
was printed in capital letters, in
forming its readers that contracts
had been awarded to the airplane
companies to carry the mail in ]
Interior Alaska and commenting
in glowing terms of the many ad
vantages of having the mail carried
thus.
Now I do not wish to detract, j
in one iota, from the wonderful;
, part that the airplanes are play- |
i ing in the development of Alaska, |
S but I do wish to say most em- !
phatically, that the time has not!
yet arrived when they can give!
a satisfactory mail service. Very j
true, they can give an adequate
| service to those places where they
| will land, but what about the
| people who do not reside in the
more populous places. These peo
ple who really make it possible
for these centers to exist, for it
is only the people who live outside
the towns who develop the re
sources of the country. The towns
> themselves produce nothing, yet
! they are the only ones who will j
get their mail by planes; the j
others, the producers, will have i
to go many miles to get their’s.
Another thing we would like to
call your attention to, is the fact
that the government has been
spending annually $275,000 for
carrying the mails in Interior Al
aska, and this money has all been j
expended in the Territory, as fol- |
ilows: . i
I OUU 10115 Ul QOg 115X1
(used by mail dogs) $ 90,000.00
1500 mail dogs . 50,000.00
100 mail carrier’s wages 90,000.00
Board of carriers . 25,000.00
Equipment . 20,000.00
Total.$275,000.00
Does it not give one pause to
think what the loss of this rev
enue means to the Territory—how
many fishermen, drivers and
others are going to be out of em
ployment. What is to become of!
our surplus dogs, already hundreds I
have been killed off, and the end j
I is not yet.
j Who are going to keep our trai’s s
j open? How are our road houses
I going to exist? As a matter of
! fact the people in the outlying
' districts are going to be shut out,
and with the scarcity of fur and
no market for their surplus fish,
j very few will have the means to
travel by plane.
We believe the present system I
of carrying mails is the best—that!
is, the planes take the letter mail
when they have occasion to go any
place and the balance to be car
ried as it is at present, so that all
will get their mail all the time and
( no preference will be shown those
who live in the places favored by
plane service.
Yours truly,
M. J. Cooney.

Unless the United States awak- j
ens from its belief that the prob- j
lem in the silver situation will
work itself out in time other na- ,
tions will assume leadership in re- j
habilating the value of the met- |
al to the detriment of American]
trade in countries employing sil- j
ver standard, according to Sena- ]
tor Key Pittman, in the Denver
Mining Record.
The senator pointed out that
the movement for an internation
al conference on silver is grow
ing in European countries and that
the United States is in a position
better to advocate an internation
al monetary meeting than ever ]
before.
“Prior to the World War,” he
said, “such a conference would
have been impossible, because of
the stand Great Britain, Germany
and other countries had taken in j
regard to gold. The war, however, j
has upset the monetary system of |
the world.”
Many people of Seward as well
as visitors took advantage of the
prevailing good weather and
on Sunday journeyed to Bear Lake
with their rusty hooks, lines and
sinkers. The fish were biting and
the fish were pulled ashore in
large numbers. At one hole 13
Isaak Waltonites endeavored to
outdo each others skill.
California fish firms are now
selling fish oil for use as poultry
feed.
SUNK AGAIN!
The SS Admiral Evans baseball
crew, on Sunday afternoon, took
on the Seward big leaguers and
anchored themselves to victory
with a score of 17 to 8. The Evans
battery could not be learned but
for Seward, Kingpin Roger Paul,
local ace, and Harry Miller, crack
catcher, performed.
