SERVICE FOR ALASKA TOWNS
Washington, Wednesday— Sen
tor Jon.ee in a letter which he has
just written to Post Master Gene
ral Buileson, states that It is
vastly more imlportant that on aer

ska than it is that the time for the
delivery of mail between Ntew York
auii Washington be reduced. The
letter in part says:
"It wouJd be a tremendous bene
fit to the towns of Alaska if they
could-get mail where they do not
net it at all. If a dolly or tri
weekly servtap could be established
between Seattle, Ketchiicaa, Ju
neau, 3kagway and Sitka, it would
aimogt revolutionize the conditions
at these points.
"I hope, ilr. Post Master General,
