P. <L. Neill, the costal Inspector
who left yesterday on the Evans
after having gi\*feu the Skagway
post office 'l'e once over, is 110
chechako, as he has been coming to
Alaska for th.e past twenty one years
and' knows alnios* every nook and
cranny in Alaska, especially where
Uncle Sam's mail goes.
In a familiar little chat with a re
presentative of the Alaskan yesterda
Mr. Neill, in Speaking of the Alas
ka malls coming as express and
freight matter said "The post of
fice d?oartment is rendv and always
has been to enter into contracts
with »hf> steamship companies for
carrying the mail provide# they
would carry out a son-Ice on a reg
ular schedule, which would make
Skagway the terminus of one route
and Seward the terminus of the
otli^r, taking care of tlio intermedi
ate ports en route..
The transportation eompaiii s
did not feel 'hat they were able to
bind themselves with this kind of a
coritrac* during the interim of the
war, owing to the falling of? of bus
iness a» those terminals. The P"V- j
ernment is shipping mail by ex
press and freight to be sure, but the'
people of Alaska a-e pitting About
the siTi« service as heretofore, with
perhans the exception of mailing let
ters on the boats after the post of-'
fice had closed the mails.
The mails for Alaska close in Se-1
attle one hour before the sailing of
the boat and the mail from Alaska
reaches the Seattle po«t office one
half hour after it reach's? the tot—1
mln»l station.
There was some confusion and M
lay at first owing to misunderstand-j
Ins of instructions by post masters
employees and the express <v>mpnn-!
las.
There matters have all Ven strai-i
ph'ened out and the service is as'
efficient as can be furnished tho i
neople of Alaska with the limited
numbrr of boats sailing from Seat-j
tie to Alaska.'
Mr. Neill paid a high tribute to'
Mart/n Conwav, our post master as
well as to Mr. ReynoUteon, tho local j
express aeent and sad "they are'
trying to make the service as ef
ficient as possible.**
Sergeant Charles Madison, "who
hag stationed at Fort Seward i
for the past two years, was an out- ;
going passenger on the Ad'ii'-iral Ev
ans yesterday .having been transfer-'
ed to the Presidio. Sergeant Mad-J

him success and prosperity.
