ALASKA FRIENDS
THE HOTEL MAYFLOWER
IS FOR YOU. Ijocatcd at 4th and Olive and within a block of
0>e city’s shopping district. In fact it la the hub around which Seat
tle ro'<at«s. New, modern, and rate* as' low as two dollars per day,
with bath. When enjoyed yon will say J have again found “Alaska’s
Best Friend.” 1
Postal Department advised car
riers that after Jane 30th. 1334.
the rate to all points would he
twentv-flv,. cents per pound or
one half the freight rates on the
Nome-Fatrbanks run.
The Department of Commerce
has made drastic cuts in pay loads
and is enforcing strict observation
of the. regulations in that respect
under heavy penalties.
The plnries operating an the
overland route are 'invariably load
ed to the limit allowed and freight
| or haggagp must he left -out • >
make room for tile mail.
! At tile old rate of 'lil'ty rent
per pound this entailed no loss h u
under the lower rate now nil awed
the loss in carrying the in a 1
amounts to twenty-livp cents fo.
<verv pound carried.
The carriers advised tile Post.-i,
Department that they could not
continue to carry mail over ihe
Fairbanks-Nome route at this Vat,,
without doing so at a loss-gf -at
than they could afford.
In order that fast mail service
might not lip entirely cur ailed.,
while the Department was invest.i
gating conditions and -dec-itHn-yi
whether or not it was willing ’o
Iiay the minimum freight rate for
transportation between Nome and
Fairbanks, the Northern Air Trans
port carried the mail during the
month of July on waiver, without
compensation.
The Chamber of Commerce .
thf carriers asked* that the former
rate be allowed, with negative re
sults, Mr. Harile Branch, the
Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral, has written that the mat
ter was thoroughly investigated
by the Supervisor of the Alaska
Service, who, incidentally, is loe
ated in Seattle, who reports, “thai |
the service on the regular contrac' |
route, (down the Yukon by boat to I
St. Michael and by Coast boat to |
Seward Peninsula points) is fullv
adequate, and supplementary air
plane service is not so necessarv
as to justify the payment of more
than twenty-five cents per pound
for carriage by airplane."
This means that letter mail go
ing out by this route -will^ take
from three to five wee,to reach
Seattle, depending On coast wea
ther and steamer connections - o
the Yukon River,- and the - sane
time to return.
The carriers are glad to carry
mail, when it can lie done without
loss, a it hough mail is match less
desirable than" ordinary freight
from any angle, but are. reluctant
ly compelled to discontinue its
carriage unless ’lie Iteartment can
lie "induced to pay a rthjsnnaIdo
rate for Its transportation. or
some other system of renumera
tion for the servhe ran he ar
ranged. They have flatly refused
to parry mail or freight, at a loss,
even for the Government, and will
not establish a precedent for the
future, by aceptinp the rate now
offered.
Airplane .Mail
A more or less serious situa
tion is facing the people <rof tTiis
section in the matter of the mail
service for the bal;Htee of. the
summer season.
The Postal Department has r>
dured tile price they are willing
to pay the airplane companies for
carrying mail between Nome an!
Farbaiik's to less than the com
panies can afford to carry it for.
and this* will mean that the mail
which does not connect with the
regular Nome steamers, will lie
dispatched via the Yukon River
route, thereby slowing down
-timeof carriage between these two
points as much as three weeks, •
The Chamber of Commerce h*
been working for some time ' ■
pursuade the Department to re
i. iti but without 'stTrrPSs,’ and now—
the only avenue of relief is 1
gd to the nublic for subscriptions
*o pay for this service. If suf
ficient funds are subscribed an ar
rangement will be made with the
airplane companies for four trip*
each way between Nome and Fai
banks (two in August and two in
September) and tjie public is re
quested to subscribe toward the
fund for this expense. ,
Your subscription should ' Ik
sent into Mr. Staugroom at the
bank.
