About three weeks ago Z. J. Lous- <
!sac of Anchorage appeared in
Washington and as an officer of i
the Evan Jones Coal Company was
much perturbed because the Inter
ior Department had set aside a con- i
tract for coal for the Alaska Rail
road that had been awarded his
i company. Bartley Howard, presi
: dent of the Alaska Matanuska Coal
Company, one of the original bid
ders for the coal contract, had pre
viously been in Washington to pro
test against the award that had
been made to the Evan Jones Co.,
because of some technicality. His;:
contention was sustained. Soon af
.ter Mr. Loussac appeared and thru
j attorneys maintained that the de- |
j partment had made an error in
■ canceling his contract. While the
j matter was being considered by the
'office of the secretary of the in
i terior Mr. Loussac made a trip to
Miami. On his return last Monday
he was greeted with the informa
tion that the department had again
considered the coal contract and de
creed that the Evan Jones people
were really entitled to furnish^ the
fuel. 1

j The Postoffice Department has •
decided not to renew its contract
with the Northland Transportation
Co. for summer mail service between
Seattle and way ports to Juneau.
This contract was especially de
sired by the Petersburg Commer
cial Club but the department has I
decided that the summer schedule •
by the Alaska Steamship Co. and !
the Pacific Steamship Co. will af
j ford a good mail service for Peters
burg.

would be abandoned and as a re- !

“An advertisement was issued
: July 16 for service on the winter
routes in Alaska for ar three-year
period from July 1 next. The ad
vertisement was similar to those is
sued in the past and specified no
particular means of transportation
to be employed. The department
received 14 low bids from two firms

vhlCh it is understood intend to
ise aircraft where practicable in ‘
tarrying the mails. Contracts were ,
iwarded to the lowest bidders ten
lering sufficient guarantees for
faithful performance: In addition
to carrying mail to the post offices
the contracts provide for the sup
ply of all persons residing at no
trffice points along the routes. At
intermediate points where there
are no landing fields it appears
that it will be necessary to continue
the use of dog teams to serve the
patrons. The advertisement was
the usual means of securing pro
posals and the award of contracts
thereunder involved no change in
the department’s policy in provid
ng service in the Territory.”
