Owing to mail conditions here
the government charges at present
u cents a pound in Alaska for par

What Mr. Deal will ask of the

banks, and that parcels be delivered
where possible within that zone at
the rates of 25 cents when weighing
10 pounds or less, and for 30 cents
when weighing between 10 and 50
pounds
This is partially the same rates
as provided for the first zone Out

there is a graduated scale for pack

it will bring the outlying creek

This rate will apply, according to
Mr.. Deals plans. only where trans

will not apply to dog team routes.
unless the other class of mail to
be sent does not make up the full
allowance. It is intended especially
for the railroad points and for river
points in summer time that are
within the zone.
As Mr.. Deal will explain to the
department that the new scheme
will be selfsupporting at all times
and thus will involve no outlay on
the part of the government. he be
lieves that it will be granted without
