It may be all proper and according to Hoyle for the Seattle postmaster to turn over the mail for Alaska to slow freight boat when fast liner will leave that port few hours later, but it looks to man up tree as if the postofice department had lost it's head. The mail facilities for Alaska are bad enough as it is. To place important mail on boat that will consume seven days time in getting to, Douglas and Juneau, when by waiting few hours it may be placed on one that will come up in three days, is poor way of doing business. Every effort of the depart ment is to encourage promptness in handling the mails. Here is point that has surely been overlooked. Ev- cry boat that comes to Alaska should carry mail, but the present procedure is as sensible as it would i,a to send mail across the continent on freight train instead of the lightning express.
