Atrial Mail Trans
portation in Alaska
Seward Gateway.
Delegate Su: berland has again shown
aia Interest in the Territory by having
iha *ir mail ser.ira bill extended to j
take , in Alaska. The delegate was
much interested in Aviator Eirls'-a'*:
tonujact to etiTV the trail from Fair
banks to the Xuskokwim district, suc
cessfully eono'uded last fall, and,
through statistics gathered ft orn these
flights, he interested the PostotSee De
partment in farther air mail routes.
Alaska is more in need of air ms»n *er
vice than many of the states, which
are served by retinoids and stage lines
The long distances between Alaska
towns makes for delay and costly mail
deliveries. Last summer the Gts-tewav
received the Kuako Times in from
three,to flve days after it was prime 1.
At the present time Xuskokwim mal
requires from two to two months and a
half ip delivery, which is made by dog
sled. The Bristol Bay and Nome mails
also could be delivered from Seward in
about twelve hours after their arrival
here.. The distance to Mome, air line,
ia lest than 500 miles, sod the distance
Ho Brjstol Bay:,points, which could be
Included iD the iiome route, Is about
400 tpiles5 probably less. Tha Neme
diatript, the vast Xuskokwim basin,
the Bristol Buy section and many out
lying parts of Alaska can be served by
airplane expeditiously and with but
•light increase in cost over the present
methods of, transportation.

Boost, and
ep On Boosting
Mrs. Florence Berr ett. Willoughby,
formerly < f KalV.''ho bus written a
novel and iusov\a).Jk,H7ine articles,
with Alaska as the-, bt»-fcrotund. has
penned the following in reference to
boosters, necessary ad\.i-.:Ots to any
Nonhland town:
“Tell us not ia mou'nfu,' numbers
that this town is <<a 'he bum; rouse up
from your peaceful slumbers, get right
out and make things hum. If we go to
work in earnest aDd we make things
htt on high; •*du»t tbm> art, to duet
returneth.” is a aong of by sad by. All
the past is done forever—you- trao'i e*M
one moment hack—and the future as?
iiime never, this is true, so help me
Jack Now’s the time fit do vnur boost
ing, watt not til! tomorrow's dawn; in
the grave you may he roosting -ill
your boosting chances gene, lay aside
t y <>ur little hammer, grab a fora and
lnt a few; i-quelch the kicker’s d«d
b amed yammer with a fiyful blast op
two. This nid to' .. is sure a pippin,
and we ought to boost it big; when we
hear u me growler pippin we should
smite ht;,1 on the wig. Mighty onks
that grow and flourish came flora
scorn? plain and small; with ',our
boosting you com nourish s< .-writhing
Viat may help us all; something that
may prove a blessing to the toiling sons
Of man—that’s the joint that I am
Stressing—boost and boost again. Peo
ple love the smiling booster, and for
him they loud!.* cheer, but they hate
the km eki.si rooster, loug to pelt him
bun on the ear. Boost your country
S-ab vi'Ui business, boostcihe people in
your town; they will dub you wise and
witty, and you'll gain a wide renown.”
Hot Pace of Flapper
Lessening Her Years
New Ynt is - - Dr Eugene Lymaa Fisk,
director of the Life Extension Institute,
told members of the American Educa
tion Conference ’h* 'he modern young
woman’s • v f confidence io her
ability t- n. convent ions and tra
ditions as io the ethics of living may
be some* ha shaken by the knowledge
that she is giving wav under the strain
and that she is not as good an animal
as her brother.
The price exacted of the Sapper oy
what sbe considers her freedom is &
lessening of tier years, an inability ti>
obtain all sbe should from life physic
ally and spiritually, and eeoeral de
preciation of health.
