AUTHORITY 6RANTED
FOR MOVEMENT
EXCESS MAILS
Through the efforts of Postmaster
John Hegness and the Nome Cham
ber of Commerce, who enlisted the
efforts of Governor Bone and Dele
gate Sutherland, authorization has
been secured for the movement of!
3200 pounds of approximately 7000
pounds of accumulated mails destin
ed for outlying offices in this djvl
This excess weight was received
on the last Victoria and had no
special effort been rhade' to move f*.
the Nome office would have been u i -
able to forward more than the usual
weight limit at any one time. Con
tracts will be made at once and the
mails quickly delivered. NVgotta
< ions are progressing for moving the
remainder of the mails in excess of
the regular weight.
As soon as the office has disposed"
of this accumulation it will be pos
sible for the Nome public to forward
parcel post matter to various parts
of the division—a convenience other
wise impossible. At the present
time there are 3500 pounds left sub
ject to the authorisation to move.
The community will be apprecia
tive of the efforts of the postmaster
and the Chamber of Commerce in
their successful efforts to relieve the
congestion.
ROUTING OF NAIL TO
KUHKOK\tlM AND NOME
The postal authorities have award
ed the contract for hauling mails to
the Lower Kuskokwini and Seward
peninsula districts via Rainy Pass,
according to a recent issue of the
Alaska Dispatch, which says:
Mail for these districts was for
many years handled by this route but
was diverted last winter to the gov
ernment railroad, over Broad Pass
to Nenana, and down the Tanana
and Yukon rivers across to the Kus
kokwim by the way of Ruby, Long
and Poor man.
The latter route involved a con
siderably greater mileage than the
old one and the routing was the
cause of considerable complaint from
the people in the districts affected.
Delivery of nisH was said to hav<T
been slower than in previous years.
Governor Bone and Colonel James G.
Steese, president of the Alaska road
conunisaioa, interested ttMMwlves in
the matter and made afcW* repre
sentations to Washington In favOTj

Reports circulated during the par*

one of the steamer trunks plundered
by thieves on board the steamer Vie
{torla before her departure had been
found some distance up the bea/h
prove to be based upon nothing in
the shape of fact, according to Mar
shal CJriffith. The report was thor
oughly investigated by the Marshal's
office immediately after it developed
but no trace could be found of the
trunk alleged to have been washed
ashore a day or so after the robbery.
Representatives of the Marshal made
j a deligent search along the beach for
j several miles west of the city and
also inquired at practically every
t tenanted cabin along the sandspit
and beyond the old graveyard, but
could find no trace of the trunk or
anyone with knowledge of it. In
addition, the movements of the
trunks from the time they left pos
session of their owners until the\
Lwent aboard the lighter were defin
itely traced, with results which in-1
dicate beyond a doubt that they ar
rived safely on board the steamer.
