CHANGE OF MAIL
The following letter, which is self
explanatory, has just been received
by the Seward Chamber of Commerce
“On behalf of myself and the popu
lation of Kanatak and adjoining dis
tricts I am asking your cooperation
in an endeavor to get a better mail
service to the Westward, on what is
known as the S. S. Starr mail route.
“As you know we have mail only
once a month and the same applies
to freight and passenger service and
it works a severe hardship on all of
us here and certainly retards the de- |
velopeonent of the Alaska Peninsula
to an extent unimaginable.
" I will give one instance which
you can verify by looking up the ship,
ments of merchandise laying on the
dock in Seward today. I had 35 tons
of merchandise which should have
arrived here at Kanatak on the Novem
ber sailing of the S. S. Starr, This
merchandise had to be unloaded at
Seward from the hull of the Starr so
as to make room for over 600 sacks
of mail for the Westward Alaska Pen
insula. Consequently I don't get my
freight until next month and invoices
for this merchandise' will be overdue
long before I receive the merchandise
and the wholesaler in the States won
der what is the matter with the peo.
pie on the Alaska Peninsula.
“With mail service once a month i
it means that we have to order our
requirements from the States two or
three months ahead as for instance
an order leaving the Peninsula in !
November wrill get to Seattle about ]
the 10th of December and if connec- j
tions are good I may get my merchan- ,
i
dise in January. i
. i
“The marked increase in new enter, i
i
prises, the fur industry, tourist trav- i
\ i
el and population since the abandon- 1
ment of small mail boats which we ■
had here several years ago can eas.
ily be traced to improved mail service
which has been given us by the S. S.
Starr.
“The time has now come when the
Starr is not able, anymore, to handle
the mail and business from this Pen
insula with its once a month service
and therefore a twice a month mail
service is necessary for the further
developement of this Peninsula. J
“ I have taken the matter up with
the Governor’s office and have also
requested the Hon. Dan Sutherland
to help us in geting better mail ser
vice and better conditions in general.
Thanking you in advance for your co_
operation in this matter I am respect
fully yours, H. N. Evans.”
