Alaskans have become used to
reading: strange and imposibie ^les
of the North in Eastern publications
Easterners seem to know more a
bout Africa than they do about Al
aska. in spite of all that has been
done to educte them. But their
ignorance has ceased to be surpris
ing to Alaskans. It is both surprising
and disappointing, however, to find
in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer a
statement to the effect that one can
not go from Seward to Juneau by
boat because of the lack of* steamer
service between those points. The
statement appeared recently in con
nection with a story about Senator
elect Fred Ayer, who passed through
Xenana a few days ago enroute from
Nome to the States. The article says
in part:
The first leg of his journey is an
800-mile dog-team trip up the fro
zen Yukon River Valley to Nenana.
Here he will board the government
railway and travel to Seward, about
400 miles distant. Because of lack
of steamship connection with Juneau
it will be necessary for (him to take
a steamer at Seward for Seattle and
at Seattle go N'orth gain to Juneau.
He is expected in Seattle about
January 21.”
KUSKOKWIM MAIL SERVICE
The experien s of Mail Contract
or Hill says the editor of the Kusko
Times illustrates the ignorance of
officials in Washington regarding Al
aska.
Mr. Hili was awarded the contract
over the new trail on September 9th
Feed had to be procured and distri-1
buted along a 375-mile route, but at
that late date it was already nearing
the time when it was doubtful whe-|
therboaits could go up the Alaska
streams without being caught by the
freeze up, and by the time dog feed
and provisions could be obtained and
delivered to boats for distribution
the boats could not be gotten to'
undertake the trips. Bids closed on
this contract August 22. which was
at least twenty days later than con
sistent with the most economical
service, even had the award been
made the next day. Delaying the
award of the contract seventeen
days after the closing of bids has
cost the contractors hundreds of
j dollars and has cost the people of
’ this section at least twenty days of
mail service; for. had Contractor
Hill had supplies at Diamond, Roos
■ evelt and Minchumina by boat and
! a carier at Minchumina. as he tells
us he planned, and had he been able
1 as further planned to have that car
rier at work on the trail between I
Minchumina and Telida from the j
latter part of October till the mail j
arrived at Minchumina, the mail, ac- j
cording to Mr. Hill would have
come through about seven days in-;
side the limit of time allowed.
No amount of explanation seems
to make the Washington officials
understand that there is a power of I
cold and ice in Alaska that must be
respected and considered. That the
Postoffice Department wishes to do.
the best it can for us is certain.1
They are giving us almost double
the service we previously had. coun
ting increased weight, but they can
not understand Alaskan conditions—
and they refuse to be enlightened.
Delegate Sutherland, so Corrrractor
Hill tells us, told Hill that he had
tried to explain the necessity of an
early decision on this contract but
all he got was polite attention. The
Postoffice representatives in Alaska
explain the conditions yearly, but
all to no avail.
We suffer sadly, but not silently
and pray that some day we may get
an Alaskan postal official in Alaska
with power to act.

large breakfast nook •’« seat six
persons, highly French polished
table top two large sliding win-1

cellent well in which there is made
a seven foot sand and charcoal <
filter, insuring clear, fine water all;
the year round. The water is pump-.

the main living room is very large,
being 16X26 feet and has waxed
finished floors for dancing—six- i
teen couples have danced here at
one time. This room is very beau
tiful. the ceiling being frescoed in
hand-painted flowers. On the walls
above the plate rails, all around the
room, is painted the coast of Al
aska evergreen scenery, all done in
light olive green tints, which make
you forget there is a winter here
at all. All the interior wood work
is made of Outside lumber; the
basement is the full size of the
house, with walls two feet thick,
with Malthoid paper on both sides
of the lumber and the center filled
in with dry sand. All laundry work
and drying- clothes is done in the
basement; the walls on upper floor
are all heavy lumber with five
thicknesses of building paper, and
on top of that is beaver board,
painted on both sides, making it
practically air tight, and the warm

The hot air furnace in the base
ment is piped to every room in the
house. It is so warm that only 16
'inch =tove wood is used in the fur
nace.
Also have the largest size Edison
Medal diamond point phonograph;

home.
The rest of the house is furnished

i house, 45X45, which can be sold
with or without the residence.
I will sell all this property for a
, third or less of its cost if taken
now, as I want to take my wife,
who has been crippled, to the Out
I side.
For particulars call at my res
idence, or phone, any time.
