latioru has approved, and Con
gress has passed the b 11 which
gives us to rthe first time true air
mail service in the Territory of
Alaska It is labeled as the For
eign Service, because it passes
through the Dominion of Canada
The route lies from Juneau, Alas
ka, on the south, to White Horse
in the Yukon Territory. Canada,
thence norwesterly to Fairbanks,
Alaska. Here is a service which
without air mail can only be cov
vered in the space of about six
days, whereas by the use of air
mail it takes approximately six
hours. The service should be in
finitely expanded in the Territory
of Alaska to take in all parts of
the country, to .nclude Nome,
which lies on the shores of Ber
ing Sea; McGrath, on the upper
Kuskokwim; Flat, near the Idita
rod River, Bethel, on the lower
Kuskokrwim;and Good News Bay,
on the Bering Sea Coast, where
recently a valuable platinum
strike was made
"The service should also be ex
tended to the cities of the south
ern coast of Alaska, Cordova,
Valdez, Seward and Anchorage,
and to Bristol Bay.”
In the debate at this time the
Delegate placed additional gro
und work for his plan to have
air mail service innugurated from
the United States to Juneau, via
Ketchikan, Wrangell and Peters
burg, and then connecting with
the Juneau-Fairbanks route al
ready authorized Supporting
this plan he showed that on the
b i is of business done by the Un

ti . \ justifies the establishment of

D mond emphasized that his re
q jest was not secti nal in charac

“What I am now urging is not
based upon any more or less sel

to represent here, but upon at

to be found elsewhere in the
