WASHINGTON, Sept. 8.—Prepara-1 j
tion of the postoffice department to j i
let a contract for mail delivery in i
Alaska by aeroplane was announced in !
the house just before adjournment by |
Representative Murray Heubert, of i
New York, who inserted in the Record j
figures relating to the pioneer aerial I
mail route. The delivery of mail by j
aeroplane, according to Mr. Heubert, i
center, for interior deliveries by the |
dog-sled routes. Quicker deliveries j
will be possible throughout Alaska, j
he says, because of the aeroplane j
transportation.
“The department,” says Mr. Heu- J
bert, “has received a bid from Earl L. j
Byers for aeroplane delivery at $49,- j
500 a year. This calls for deliveries j
twice a week all the year and a weight j
limit of 1,000 pounds. The inaugura- j
tion of the first aeroplane delivery |
route ^rill soon be announced by the j
department." |
Mr. Heubert explained that his in
terest in the mail route was in spirit
with the interest of his district in aer
onautic development.
MAKING GOOD PROGRESS
CONTROLLER BAY ROAD
(Valdez Prospector)
Dan Sheehan, who has been at Ka
talla for several months past engaged S
in the construction work on the rail- ■
road from Controller Bay to the Ber- ”
ing river coal fields, returned on the
Northwestern. Mr. Sheehan states \
that splendid progress has been made
in the work, and that the grade has j
been completed. The work of laying;
the steel has been considerably ham
pered owing to the failure to receive
the rails from the states, but several
miles of track have been laid, and this
amount will be increased before snow
flies. The work on the road will shut
down within a few weeks, with the ex
ception, possibly, of the tie cutting, |
which will be continued until the re- j
quired quantity is sAcmw).
