WHY NOT MAIL THROUGH FROM JUNEAU ?
With the Pacific Alaska Airways flying on regular week
ly schedules between Fairbanks and Juneau in their new
Lockheed Electra, 200-mile-an-hour plane, it appears feasible
that some arrangements could be made whereby the first
class Nome mail could be taken from the boats at Juneau,
placed on the plane for Fairbanks and then picked up by
plane there and brought to Nome, with possibly only five 01
six days time intervening from the time it left Seattle.
At it is now, the mail must go by boat to Seward. From
there it takes two more days to get to Fairbanks on the train
and then a plane can pick it up and bring it to Nome. It
there are no planes there at the time it just remains in the
Fairbanks postoffice until called for.
After enjoying twice-a-week mail service by the Pacific
Alaska Airways during the major part of the winter, the
Nome public has become accustomed to service of this kind.
Now, with the ordering period on, and the fact that Nome is
to have an especially busy season, we require more rapid and
efficient mail service than ever before.
By having the first class mail come via plane from Jun
eau. at the regular rate that other planes are carrying it.
Nome would be thus assured of service which would lop near
ly a week off of the former summer service.
In addition to this it would help in the inauguration of
Air Mail in Alaska, a project which is even now, it is under
stood, being placed before the Postal Department.
The Nome Chamber of Commerce which has advocated
progressive moves with aviation and postal matters is in
a position to help bring about this service and it would cer
tainly secure the support of other cities in Alaska served on
this route, if it can be arranged with the Canadian govern
ment to permit the carrying of U. S. Mail over that portion
of the route from Juneau to Whitehorse and into Fairbanks.
