P. O. AUTHORITIES
ARE NEGLECTFUL OF
COOK INLET COUNTRY
The slack and unbusinesslike
manner in which the outlying post
jlilces are being handled seems to
be the common complaint of all.
Especially is this true in regard to
lie Matanuska ollice. They have a
lostotlico at Matauuska in which to
handle mail; they also have a post
master who received the appoint
ment from Washington; there is a
well settled community surrounding
tho Matanuska. but there is no mail
at Mmtanuska, and the families liv
ing in this well settled community
depend on this postotticc for thoir
mail. Our government, which is
usually so prompt to right the
wrongs of her people, has repeatedly
•been notified of the existing condi
tions through Alvali Earnes. chief
clerk of the railway mail ser
vice. There are today 14 sacks of
mail for Matanuska lying in the An
chorage postotlice. with no way to
deliver same. Mr. Eames is aware of
this fact and has promised to look
look into the matter. In other
words, in the language of the fabled
judge, he hag “taken the matter un
der advisement.” Judging from
past records, this moans that by the
4 i »*> n (Ln Fn »• rvi n« In tlin \,1 oto nil ulr
district receives his mail, it will be
ancient history. The class of people
who have settled in this virgin farm
ing country are among the best class
jf American citizens; he is the pio
neer farmer, the man who blazes the
trail, who builds up the community
and makes It possible for tho estab
lishment of postoffices, the appoint
ment of postmasters and clerks in
the mail service. The Pioneer does
not expect the postmaster general at
Washington to give this matter hi3
personal attention, but does believe
the dilatory manner in which Mr.
Ames is handling this matter should
be looked into. Mr. Wood, the post
master at Anchorage, has done
everything in his power to relieve
the congested situation and has prob
ably gone out of his jurisdiction in
this matter to help the Matanuska
office. The Matanuska office is not
the only wrrong to be righted; there
are 30 sacks of mail in the Anchor
age poostofflee for the Susitna Sta
age postoflice for the Susitna Sta
tion, waiting for delivery.
There is no.contract between the
steamship companies and the An
chorage office for the handling of the
outside mail, and it is only through
the courtesy of the Commission in
loaning tugs and teams and the per
sonal efforts of Postmaster Wootl
that this mail is delivered to the
Anchorage postofflee.
These matters have been brought
to.the attention of Alvah Ames, chiei
clerk in the railway service, through
the proper routine, not once, but
several times, but still he watches
and waits.
. Captain North way, a merchant
from Glacier creek, was a passen
ger on the launch Pioneer and will
remain in Anchorage for several
days attending to business matters
and visiting friends.
Bidt will be let for tho erection
of a grand stand for the new base
ball grounds at Recreation Park.
Full particulars and customary no
tice will appear In tomorrow’s issue
of the Pioneer.
