coRREcTs AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION

In its campaign for Call the mail all the time, of the residents interior charged that the holding of the mail of the present weight limit due to action on the part of the Chief Clerk of the Railway Mail Service, stationed It is gratifying to know that the Fairbanks Miner is willing correct this impression and under the caption of In Justice to Mir. Eames" says
 The of getting all the mail all the time is of vital importance and of great interest to the people of Fair and interior Alaska. In discussing matters that the hearts of the people of this district many things stated that had better have been left msad many mpres that should not have been created and many who doing their utmost every day in the year help develop the country put before the public in light that their credit and in way that does them unjust and an unfair injury.
 ''Yeserday under the heading These Men Can Help Us the Miner printed story setting forth just what the who have the transporting and the routing of the mail under their supervision could do for the better mail service which Fairbanks desires. In that article certain statements apparently could be taken ways One person., least construed the article and probably correctly that appeared if the blame for the necency of the winter mail service was due to NIr. Flames of Cordova.
 ''Ths is wrong, absolutely There is not in Al aska who has been faithful worker for better mail service for the interior than Avah Eames Mr. Flames has more, has fought harder and has spent time trying persuade the postocv department in Washington something relieve the annual congestion of mail in Cor dova than any other in Alaska. The trouble with the Alaska mail service insofar the interior of the territory is concerned ths Washington officials of the pOsoce depart have repeatedly refused to spend another cent the mail service the interior Whether through ignorance bullhead nes economy for any anyone to the posoce department in Washington simply refuses listen 
 listen and they don't listen.
 ''Voney Richmond the manager of the Northern Commer cial Company threw lot of light the mail service today e stated that Avah Flames had record in CordOva we'll of letters which he had written to Superintendent Vae the Seattle postofce under whom he works, and ream of letters that Washington But all the pleas all the entreaes Washington returns the reply We don't want to spend another cent the mail service in in Alaska" It is a cut and dried answer
 Superintendent Waffle of the Seattle postofce sug- the department increased mail service Alaska modified form The suggestion that certain communities others remote should be confined in their service For instance Superintendent Waffle did not advocate the rng of parcels post Point Barrow the winter me where it $2 deliver single letter from Seattle but he did think that Fairbanks should have better service But the department would not listen to it. Back the old and dried answer, We don't want to spend any money on the mail service in Alaska
 of knocks Mr. Flames should be boosted for the service that he has rendered and trying to render the interior points The suggestion made yesterday that temzed account of the three transportation clerks would prove to the department in Washington the absolute necessity of better mail service for the interior
 ''No who has the United States mails in his charge wants 35 of accumulated mail in wooden build ing that liable to burn up any time. He is certainly not going out of his way to put added responsibility and extra work his shoulders Therefore it is not Avah Flames who is to blame It is not Avah Flames who made necessary the
 shipment of 35 tons of accumulated mail from Cordova Ska last spring that should have and could have into the interior six months before did Washington educated the conditions here forget that cut and dried statement We don want to spend any money Alaska mai service
 o Mr. Flames be the credit for what he has done And oI the people of Fairbanks the labor of working nceang bring about those ideas which Mr. Flames suggested to the superintendent at Seattle and to Washington regarding a the mail all the time service for Fairbanks.''
