MORE TOUGH LUCK FOR SETTLERS
More hardships for those who dare to settle down upon
the outlying fringes of the Territory. More govern
ment “red tape” which in Alaska is endless notwithstand
ing attempts to shorten the string.
Those who happen to be living along the railroad, the
real settlers of this part of the Territory, cannot get their
mail now as in the days of yore for orders have been is
• sued from the postoffice department that beginning July
1 mail will be delivered only to authorized postoffices and
will not be 'distributed, or dropped off the trains, as in
former years, at the many small stations, water tanks,
mining camps, etc., where there is no postoffice.
For instance, anyone so unfortunate as to be living
anywhere between Seward, Lawing, Girdwood or Anchor
age, cannot get mail unless they call at one of the above
mentioned towns or stations. Moose Pass has made ap
plication for a postoffice so perhaps there will be five of
fices within the next few years.
This article would not be> complete unless the alterna
tive was made known. There is recourse, to be truthful
about it, for if these citizens—the backbone of the rail
road belt—really want their mail they may get it provid
ing THEY supply the nearest postoffice with mail sacks.
The postoffice will then gather up the person's mail, send
it to a train and, the train crew! may heave the sack off as
they flash by the designated point the sack is consigned to.
They say the baggagemen on the railroad, who have
been throwing this mail off for years, now are demanding
increased pay for this service. (Baggagemen now re
ceive about $207 for riding the trains)
The postal department cannot, it is claimed, afford to
pay for this service.. So while this great (?) and difficult
(?) problem is being thrashed out—and it will probably
take years—the pioneer and settler in the railroad belt,
must suffer.
Everybody should move into town and let the coun
try go to hades, we suppose.
Even jail has its bright side: the outside.
