WOULD DEFEAT OBJECT.
Many unfavorable comments
are heard regarding the route for
which estimates were asked from
boat owners for a mail service
which the postofTicc department
has been petitioned to establish
along the sound as far west as
Port Wells.
It is apparent the postal offi
cials are desirous of so arrang
ing the service, if established at
all, that both petitions from Val
dez and Cordova may be granted.
The pioposed route would make
Cordova one terminal and Val
dez the other. It would also re
sult in Valdez being eliminated
so far as outside mail service lo
the new camps was concerned ami
largely defeat. I he object for which
the route was petitioned. On Val
dez bay many permanent camps
have come info existence and the
number is constantly growing. A
weekly mail boat, would be of in
estimable service by keeping
these different camps in close
touch with their base of supplies.
On both sides of the bay are
camps which should be entitled
to a weekly mail service all the
year around. The Midas copper
mine at Solomon gulcli gives
promise of being one of the great
est copper mines of Alaska and
will soon be employing scores of
men; sixteen miners are now em
ployed there. Fort Liscum would
also have the added service. On
the right side of I he bay are Min
eral, Ellis' Imperial, the ClilT mine
and Shoup bay. These are all in
side the narrows and can safely
be visited at any time by launch
es carrying mails.
Should |lie contract bo Id cov
ering I ho service for which the
estimates were asked jl will moan
a curtailed service al 'a greatly
increased oo>l .ami will place a
handicap on tin* people along Iho
Ton I o who roooivo llioir mail
through Iho Valdez poslotTice.
For instance, Iho mail which
leavi s Seattle on Iho lirsl of Iho
moiilh wouhl arrivo in Cordova on
Iho >lh ami in Valdez I!i«• samo or
following 'lay. The mail hoal
covering Iho soiiml would nalur
allv ho sohodulod lo leave Cor
dova as soon as possible afler the
mail had lieon prepared. She
would I hen make Ihe trip lo Porl
Wells ami come In Valdo/., arriv
ing here | wo ami possibly III roe
days afler Ihe steamer had ar
rived hero from Seal lie. On Ihe
-return I rip Ihe launch would car
ry Ihe mail from Valdo/ via Port
Wells, delivering mail which
came up on I lie same hoal as thai
delivered from Cordova days he
fore.
We helievo Ihe postal inspec
tor will see Iho injustice of the
proposed route. There is a reg
ular weekly mail service between
Cordova and Valdez and Ihe route
of Iho proposed service should he
so arranged lo give the miners
of Iho new district, the host ser
vice with Iho least expense lo Ihe
govern menl. A direct service
from Valdez would prove no han
dicap for Cordova, as Ihe local
mail from that point for Porl
Wells would leave Valdez with the
mail from Ihe outside. If Ihe
business men of Cordova aad Val
dez wish lo onler into a rivalry
for Iho business of Ihe new dis
trict such action is within I heir
province, bill Iho mail service
should be kept clear of such en
tanglements.
8ooret of ihe Pa(ms in Cuba.

scenic Cuba by Iho IMP. Film Co.,
also oilier tine pictures at Ihe Or
plieum Ihealor. Fifteen prizes
