ALASKA’S NEED
FOR EFFICIENT
MAILSERVICE
Since the termination of the old Al
aska mail contracts last summer, the
postal service of the territory has suf
fered a lamentable breakdown, result
ing in general complaint in all parts
of Alaska. The present system,
under which the mail is handled as
express or freight in southeastern Al
aska, and by a small boat to points
to the Westward along the Alaska
peninsula, Is not only unsatisfactory,
but altogether inadequate, and if con
tinued will greatly hamper and retard
the development of the fisheries, as
well as of other Alaskan resources.
The result of the present policy in
Southeastern Alaska has been irregu
lar and infrequent service, long delay
in the delivery and distribution of
mail at points even a short distance
off the main lines of steamer travel,
and general inconvenience. With no
special obligation as t;o the handling
of the mail, instead of going on a
regular schedule it is delivered when
ever a boat happens to have sufficient
freight to warrant a call. On arrival
it is often among the last fright to be
discharged, and if landed at night has
to wait until the next day before being
distributed and forwarded; while out
going mail from Alaska points, in
stead of being received up to the time
of sailing, must be posted many hours
in advance. Many communities on
the Alaskan coast, open to transpor
tation throughout the year, are now
often entirely without mail for weeks
at a time, where it was formerly re
ceived every few days.
Freight and passenger service also
ha3 suffered greatly on account of the
present system. Where formerly
regualar schedules were maintained In
accordance with the mail contracts,
steamer service is now dependent on
;i the accumulation of sufficient freight
j: to pay for the trip. Thus both pas
|i senger travel and the shipment of
j: freight to and from many points in
•: Alaska, where calls were formerly
:• made with some regularity, have be
come exceedingly difficult and uncer
tain.
The result of these conditions to
the communities along the Alaskan
peninsula, among the adjacent islands
and in Bering Sea has been far more
I * sferious than in Southeastern Alaska.
The mail steamer was formerly the
sole reliance of these communities
for freight and passenger service dur
ing the winter months; but the boat
now handling the mail for this dis
trict is without freight or passenger
facilities, and has been unable even
to maintain mail service with regu
larity through the winter. When this
- condition arose many communities to
the Westward were short of food and
other winter supplies, and while this
condition has been partly relieved
through private effort, with the co
operation of the Pacific-American
Fisheries and the Revenue service,
further service is needed to prevent
serious hardship in these communi
ties before spring.
This country in former ve»r« took
just pride in the universal and ef
ficient service rendered by the post
office department, which was of in
calculable importance in the early de
velopment of the west. The carrying
of the mails with promptness and reg
ularity was regarded as a vital func
tion, to be fulfilled to the limit of pos
sibility. At the same time, the plac
ing of mail contracts often made it
possible to furnish regular means of
transportation, which otherwise would
have been lacking. Such pioneer
countries as Alaska are peculiarly de
pendent upon such facilities, and the
only practical way in which the^ can
be provided is through the mainten
ance of an efficient postal service,
with a liberal policy on the part of
the postal authorities. Mail in a fron
tier country like Alaska cannot be
successfully handled on the basis of
the lowest possible cost. Service,
rather than economy is the proper
aim of the postofflce department; and
the service must be maintained on an
efficient basis—without extravagance,
indeed, but if necessary even at a cost
greater than any immediate return—
if the development of Alaska 1b to con
tinue.—Pacific Fisherman.
