ROTTEN POSTAL SERVICE ;
i'ltere is something the inotter j
viris the postal service in southern ;
Alaska hut every nev reaper pud- j
li.dier knows, to hie so row.- that
there is no use asking for an im
provement under the present mal
administration.
. it anyone can give a reason why
a letter mailed in Ketchikan Oct
10 should not he delivered here un j
i Oct. 28, or why a letter should
ake >8 days to como from Juneati, I
the Miner would like to hear it
>ii Oct 10 a Ketchikan candidate
for oiiice mailed the Miner $! tpy
for « Svenist ment to run • f two
j. ,;Pv. ; 'erediu!: the *'!( <-tii.i This
was mailed lit plenty oi tune to
l ave reached this paper for the
lirst issue specified, but was held
up as mentioned above. The pa
per loses a piece of change and the
acid n 1 , ,he benefit which -
•ould has • a- riv d to him through
the advertisement.
Running up against this ki i of
, proposition caused the writer to
look at the dates on the other let- i
ters received in tie same mail, and i
the whole bunch showed that there i
is marked inefficiency somewhere, i
For example, there were seven let- ,
ters from Juneau, with dates as <
follows: Oft. 1. 2, 2, 5, 11, 20 and s
20. These dales are thf postmarks (
on the envelopes. One can under
stand that a letter might be delay- t
ed by the sender packing it a mind, s
;n his pocket and forgetting to mail j i

hould he received to a letter ad- j
Iressed to Europe in a month.
We noticed the other day that j
he editor of the Valdez Miner was j
ipologising to the postal depart
ment for former abuse. He took it
all back on the grounds that he bad
received a letter from Texas which
was o.dy 47 days oil the road.
■ Miner has had a number of
Kicks regi.m e i by outside sub*
scuibers because of delays in re
ceiving the paper. If these impa
tient ones will cast their eyes over
this editorial they will find an ex
cuse for the delays—that is pro
viding this issue reaches them be-!
fore they have died of oid age.
