have tried to send 11s packages by
mail end boats by freight in the fall
and winter, and have been told by
postmasters and freight agent* that
there was no mail or fieigbt service
in this part of Alaska during the
winter months.
In the "Overland Manual" of the
"White Cross Service L'ague” by
Mrs I/aura Ogle Goodell, we find
these statnients in the section "Parcel
Post Rules for Alaska."
‘ Between Oct. let. aud June 1st.
parcel poet mail ie not accepted.
Register all parceli since they cannot
be insured."
Mrs. lioodell did not make these
statinents unadvisedly, but wasagsur.
ed by postmasters that she was (jiv
ing correct, information.
We would like to emphasize t he fact
that we have mail and freight service
at. least once every month throughout
the year. Also that parcels can be
insured.
It is not advisable however to send
packages by express as there>s noex
press office or agent at Kodink.
