SATISFACTION GUARANTEED
CLUB WILL TAKE
The matter of the shipment of
mails to Alaska by freight instead
of in the usual manner was discussed
at the Xenana Commercal club at
a previous meeting, and at the meet
ing held last night Secretary Joseph
read a communication from Second
Assistant Postmaster General Otto
Praeger. which was addressed to the
club in reply to a letter of protest
forwarded to the department some
time ago.
The shipments of mails to Alaska
in the manner described above was
found to be very unsatisfactory in
a great many ways, and a change
in the methods was sought, and as
Mr. Praeger's letter did not fully
meet the objections advanced, fur
ther action by the club was deemed
necessary.
After some discussion on the sub
ject and on motion duly made and
carried, the secretary was instructed
to take the matter up with the An
chorage Chamber of Commerce, with
a view to getting some necessary
data, when the matter will again
be brought before the proper au
thorities and a change in the meth
ods of shipment again requested.
The letter from Second Assistant
Postmaster Genera! Praeger, which
was read at the meeting, is as fol
lows:
Washington, March 27, 1919.
The N'enana Commercial Club,
H. B. Joseph, Secretary.
Xenana, Alaska.
“Gentlemen:
“In answer to your letter of
February 24, 1919, which the post
master general has referred to me,
advising of your endorsement of the
resolutions, adopted byr the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce, pro
testing against the handling of
mails from the States to Alaskan
coast points by freight and express
service, and requesting that the
present conditions be remedied, 1
have to inform you that provision
is made for the transportation of
mails from Seattle (the distributing
point in the States of mails for
Alaska l by all steamers operated,
and the records of this office show
that there were reasonably frequent
Mime- in vov»mber, December and
January; also that the sailings were

“Regular overland service is pro- i
vided for the supply of Interior j
points of a frequency considered
reasonably adequate for the points
involved, especially in view of the
expensive rate at which the supply
is maintaned because of the nature
of the conditions of travel encount
ered.
“With respect to the freight an i
1 express features referred to in your
communication as being objection
able, it is not understood how the
mails could be more expeditiously
handled under contract service as
such contracts would necessarily be
made with the carriers now handling
the mails by freight and express,
and the majority of the companies
operating boats to the Aiaskan coast
1 refused to enter into contract for
1 service unless it was stipulated in
! the agreements that the mails should ,
be carried on only such trips as the
steamers were operated under the:r
' regular traffic schedules.
“Very respectfully,
“OTTO PRAEGER.
Second Asst. Postmaster General"

Last fall hundreds of horses were
killed along the line of the govern
ment railroad, in the Tanana valley,
wagons and harness were piled and
covered and teamsters walked out
of Alaska, because those transpor
tation interests were permitted to
so”- control rates on the government
railroad and other routes of trans
portation as to make it impossible
for Alaskans to exist in the Interior.
Conditions there are worse than they
were years ago, before we began
the construction of the government
railroad, and you are to blame for
their present harshness.
The third and last instalment of
the letter will appear in Monday's
