MAIL ROUTED
 VIA SEWARD

Late arrivals in this district from the Outside via the Seward trail tell of a con- tract having recently been let by the gov ernment for mail service extending over q period of four years between the sea coast town of Seward and Iditarod, the contract to be operative next fall Beyond the state ment that the contract was awarded to Colonel H. E. Revelle, well known mining man and guide of the Cook Inlet country, for the sum of $94,O0O, little information can be gleaned.
 Owing to recent change in the manage ment of the Seward Gateway, our request to be kept posted relative to mail matters from that city to the interior seems to have been lost in the discard.
 A telegram was received yesterday by The Pioneer from the Juneau Empire stat ing that Colonel Revelle, the mail contractor, would leave Seward next week on trip ot inspection of the new mail route, and will probably reach Idtarod oy the 18th of next month. He will be accompanied by ldlta- rods new postmaster.

He said that railroad facilities would bring development undreamed of Finland with climate siml- lar to that of Alaska, was a land Of great civilization and culture What could be dcne there could be done here. Finland had given the vote to women, and, as usual the women had done their work well He was proud that Alaska had put women on an equality with meH also. The opening up , of the coal fields by railroads would result in delivering good grades of coal to the coast cities at from S to S7 per ton He also spoke of the lumber industry, the resources of marble, lime gypsum etc, which would be made available by the railroad, and stated that Alaska was at the beginning of a great era of development. His remarks were greated with great applause.

 Tall Tamarack" Is Eloquent
 A. E. Maltby congratulated the people on the passage of the railroad bill, and stated that it gave him great pleasure to rejoice with the people of the entire lditarod val lev that Alaska had at last come into her own. Senators and representatives had been prone to scoff at the need of railroad in Alaska. and had been disposed to believe that a commission form of government was all that was necessary. Now their eyes had been opened to the fact that Alaska was as large as Washington, Oregon Idaho and Montana combined, and larger than the l3 original states and contained an intelligent population Delegate Wickersham. who, more than any one man, was responsible for the passage of the railroad bill, had dem onstrated that by the aid of railroad trans portation one of the greatest and grandest empires in the world would be opened up, Alaska was in its infancy and must not de pend alone upon its mineral resources it must be made a place of homes.

in the discard Now that the railroad IS an an assured fact he said, it behooves us to incuire what it would mean to the territory. Who would run it? Who would be respon- sible for it? Conducting a railroad under the government ownership plan would be most difficult task He hoped that when the time for statehood arrived Alaska would be put on the same footing as other states. Alaska has been looked upon as Uncle Sans own private property, and the qCes- ten will be 2s to whether the railroad IS to be kept up fer the benefit of the people of Alaska or the government. He paid an eloquent tribute to Senator Chamberlain of Oregon fer his work in behalf of Alaska. He closed with Rudyard kipling's toast, ''To the last and the largest empire, and the map that is haIt unroIled" and his remarks were enthusiastically applauded.
 Harrson's Repubicanism Wobby
 W. F. Harrison rejoiced with the people of the district of Iditarod over the recogni- ton of Alaska. "I am a Republican, he said, "but the g. O. ?. is liable to lose me if President Wilson and the Democratic administration keep up the good work they have started" He called attention to an industry which would be among the future developments of the territory that the rail road would make possible-that of wood pulp for paper manufactureing. The rail road would make available an almost in exhaustible supply of timber suitable for this purpose, and the result would be a cheap ening of the cost of print paper.
 Mir ArbuckIe called attention to the fact that he had in his possession a check for S42 that had been turned over to him by the wireless company, a refund of telegram sent to the American consul in Bolivia, in- quring about reported fabulous gold strike. The money had been subscribed by the people of lditarod, and he suggested that it be followed in in sending congratu- latons to Alaska's friends in Washington.

 J. c. Moody, the little giant" prefaced his remarks with a humorous story. He said the passage of the railroad bill was due to one man, and one man alone-a man whose influence was so great that no per sonal interest had any weight with him, This man had shown himself to be possessed of wonderful brain and remarkable states manship. He referred to President Wilson, and his mention of the name was greeted with tumultuous applause "We owe the the rai1road to thiS man i" hp said ",.bn
