There will b0 no boat arrive in
Skagwav except the gas boat until
December 4th. On that date three
or .'our boats are due and thus Skag
way will be about two weeks |
without mail again.
If seeing that the citizens of
Skasway are laying supinely down
as they are making no protest a
gaiust such unheard of proceedings 1
on (he part of somebody., it would
seem ihat if the City Council or
the Commercial Club does not take
som6 action in this matter that
every one must be satisfied. Other
sections of Alaska are acting in |
this and putting in their protests.
We are informed that the boats
from the south will not bring mail
to connect with th© gas boat in Ju
neau and so even that once a week
service is denied us.
It is high time that something wa4
done or else this kind of service will
be wished onto us for all times. ,
SomeDody should get busy.
