MAIL CONTRACT
 |S STILL HELD
Postoffice Department Has Not Grant ed Contract to N. C. Company
 May Operate it Themselves.

A report has been circulated about Valdez to the effect that the Northern Commercial Company had secured the contract to carry the mail for the next four years from Chitina to Fair banks in connection with the rail road. In order to verify this report the Prospector wired to Chief Clerk Alvah Flames at Cordova for infor- nation and received the reply that ds fal as the chief clerk kf1cw no contract has been awarded, as he has received no notification from the de- partment.
 The story as told on the streets of Valdez was that the railroad com pany had agred with the N. c. com pany to deliver the mail at Chitina and in the event of blockade on the railroad, which has happened each year since the road was built and opened for traffic, then the rail road officials had agreed, so the story goes, to deliver the mali to the stage company at Tiekhell, nthe Valdez Fairbanks government road.
 No one knows the reason for the delay in granting the contract and some state it is because the N. c. company refused to give the depart ment bid if they were forced to carry the mail from Valdez in times of blockade Others have advanced the proposition that the postmaster general, who is advocating the gov ernment ownership and operation of everything he can set his hands on,
 is strongly in favo! Of the Postoffice department operating it's own stage line from the coas; o Fairbanks and on to Nome, f'sl and certain ser vice.
 It is said that the government could provide stations and roads and main tainence of trails and roads where private company could not and that by reason of being certain of the contract for many years the depart ment could secure more equipment than private company would be jus tifed in having, as they secure a contract for only four years and it can, be discontinued at any time by the department therefore the com nanv ic fnrcad to on 1ipht On au,1in- ment
