AERIAL ROUTE
I ■ OF THE MAIL
| SERVICE
:■ Commencing next October, the post
office department proposes to carry
•'.jail the mails that are now transported
i over star routes in Alaska by the use
:• of aeroplanes. The advertisement in
:• viting proposals were received on the
:• last boat, and when the service is in
•: operation the department has selected
• Valdez as the base for supplying all
the Interior routes.
! The advertisement provides for a
service to commence next October and
| to continue till June 30, 1018. All
bids must lie received at the office
of the postmaster general not later
1 than May 12, and awards will lie made
• and contracts let within thirty days
after that date.
I The department asks for hid on
' three propositions. One for carrying
the mail all the year round with a
weight limit of 3,000 pounds, one tor
carrying tlie same weight for eight
• months from October 1 to May 31, and
! still another to carry 1.000 pounds
during the same period.
The principal routes are as fol
J lows:
’ From Valdez by Beaver Dam. Ton !
sina. Copper Center. Gulkana. Pa\
sons, Washburn and Salchaket, to!
Fairbanks, 385 miles and back, three
times a week on the following sclie
duie:
Leave Valdez Monday, vv ednes(iu>
and Friday.
Arrive Fairbanks in two days.
Leave Fairbanks Tuesday. Thursday
and Saturday.
Arrive Valdez in two days.
From Fairbanks. Tolovana. Hot ;
Springs and Tofty to Tanana. 1621
j miles and back, three times a week. !
j all the year round, the total weight
I
of mail not to exceed 1,000 pounds on
a single trip. Schedule:
Leave Fairbanks three times a
week upon receipt of mail from Val
dez.
Arrive at Tanana in 24 hours.
Leave Tanana Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.
Arrive at Fairbanks in 24 hours.
From Tanana by Kokrfnes, ltuby.
Kukakakat and Nulato to Kaitag, 3.31
miles and back, twice a week, all the
year, total weight not to exceed 1.600
pounds a single trip. Schedule:
Leave Tanana Tuesday and Friday.
Arrive Kaitag in 2 days.
Leave Kaitag Monday and Friday.
Arrive Tanana in 2 days.
From Kaitag by Golovin, Rluff and
Solomon to Nome. 225 miles, and back
twice a week from October 1 to May
31 each year, the total weight of mail
not to exceed 600 pounds a single
trip. Schedule:
Leave Kaitag Monday and Friday.
Arrive at Nome in 2 days.
Leave Nome Tuesday and Friday.
Arrive at Kaitag in 2 days.
Proposals are also asked for carry
ing mail from Seward up the Suslt
na and across to the Iditarod, and
from there to Nome. If the depart
ment awards the contract from Idita
rod. the service from Kaitag to Nome
will not be let. It Is also proposed to
establish a route from Seward to An
chorage, the time allowed being ten
hours.
A bond of $65,000 is required to
accompany the Valdez-Falrbanks bid,
with a lesser bond for the less im
portant routes. The law requires a
bond, oath of bidder, oath of sureties
and certificates of postmaster with
every proposal.
As soon as this service is in suc
cessful operation, the department will
cancel their contracts with the Nor
thern Commercial Company, who are
at present carrying the mails over
these routes. The government re
serves the right to annul any contract
by allowing as full Indemnity to the
contractor one month's extra pay on
the amount of the service dispensed
with.
I
Under this proposed service Valdez '
will he lieadjuartera for the aeroplane
service, and should result in consid
erable benefit to the town. The in
auguration of this service will be
widely published, and Valdez must get
considerable advertising as a result.
Valdez would once more become the
principal distributing center for the
interior mails and the postoffice staff
would have to be increased. Aeroplane
sheds would be erected and the ma
chine shops would be kept busy.
Aircraft large enough to carry six
teen hundred pounds of mail would
undoubtedly be equipped to carry a
limited number of passengers, espec
ially south bound (the mail received
from interior points being much less
than that despatched north) and this
would also add to the prosperity of the
<mvti
It is stated that the department
h*is been assured of satisfactory bids I
being submitted, and that the new I
service will revolutionize the Alaska j
mail service. There are no unsur
mountable difficulties in the way of
aerial navigation, and ttie exigencies
of the war has brought the manufac
ture of aircraft to a high state of
perfection.
It will be noted that the service
provides for following the route the
provides for following the route via
stops will he made at all postoffices
and other important points along the
trail.
It is understood that Mr. Eames,
chief of the mail service for Alaska,
has received instructions from the
postmaster general to do everything
possible to bring success to the enter
prise, and he will make the initial
trips with the aircraft and report on
Its feasibility. It is known that Mr.
Eames has for some time been in
favor of adopting some method of
Improving the mail service over the
interior routes of Alaska, and it is
confidently believed and hoped that
this will solve the problem, in which
event due credit must be given to
Inspector Eames.—Valdez Prospector.
