One other reason why the Humboldt should carry the mail, is that she is the most regular and one of the fastest steamers plying in these waters. Here is another view: If the Humboldt is not given con- tract, and the Pacific Coast Steam ship Company refuses to allow her an amount equal to that allowed the other steamers, the merchants of southeastern Alaska, acting thro the several chambers of commerce, should flatly refuse to receive any goods shipped on her bottom.
