Delegate Sutherland
Speaks of Present
Airplane Mail Tests
Writing from Washington under
date of February 28th, And speaking of
the airplane mail service tests now
being conducted between Fairbanks
and McGrath. Delegate Dan Suther
land says:
“You will understand that this whole
business is in. the way pf an experi
ment and if it is demonstrated that the
plan of carrying mail by air in Alaska
is a feasible one it is probable that con
tracts will be given generally. I am in
strong hopes that this demonstration
will be successful and that I will be
able to persuade the?'department to
give an air service to your section for
next summer. I had quite a time to
get the Department to make this ex
periment., and therefore everything de
pends upon ii3 success. .It would cer
tainly be a fine thing if we could get
future mail ’shot’ into Tokotna and
surrounding country in two or three
days from the railroad ”
