B£THOROUGHLY
in lit sum
That tin* present system of carry
ing and distributing mail to Alaskan
points on the steamships, with its <i«
! lay and inconvenience to the patrons
jo! tin* service, has been brought to
! the attention «>I tie authoritie s at
i Washington is evidenced by a cabb
gram received by tin* Cordova Cham
her of Commerce yi*st»*rdav from
Delegate* Charles \. Sul/.er.
It will be recalled that at the ex
pirafion ot the mail contracts n*«-«ntly
the ste unship companies and the
post-office department were unable to
reach an agreement as to new eon
tracts, with the result that ever since
the mail for Maska has been shipped
I as freight and express matter. Not
| only this, but heretofore tin* steam
j shpis carried mail clerks to facilitate
tin* work of distribution and tor tin*
handling of local mails. Sim • the
new order of things went into effort
| these mail clerks have been with
drawn. with the result that much in
convenience has been inflicted upon
Alaskans in tin* matter of mail serv
ice. Delegate* Sulzer's message was
j as follows;
“('hainber of <’otmnerce,
“Cordova. Alaska
“Please wire me immediately an>
