ment and q rank injustice to the inhabitants. There is no possible excuse for the fact that stretch of country larger than many states, in which the population is mainly in communities of from a flow scores to several hundreds, should have been absolutely without mail ser vice for a period of nearly eight weeks. Were this to happen In any other portion of the United States, the halls Of congress would resound to the dismal walls of an outraged people, and the very foun- dations of the department would be rocked. But AIaskans are long suffering and patient people, and above all, dislike to initiate any thing which will entail any extra ordinary effort except on their own immediate affairs. Consequently this shameful neglect will pass ai- most unnoticed except that an indig- nant citizen will occasionally damn the postal service and theb go "n- conceruedly about his business. ln the meantime business may sutter' and in it's own good time the de- partment will eventually see 'that we get acknowledgements of last springs correspondence and perioh- calls in which the patterns of the clothes worn at last Easter's parade will be shown.
 The time has certainly come for display of human intelligence in the handling of the mail service of Interior Alaska. It will be an easy matter for the department to locate the difficulty. The carriers are no to blame. For long time the carriers Of this section have delivered with commendable promptness oIi mall entrusted to them. It is in the dis patch of mail consignments to in terior points that the difficulty lies. Carriers are not responsible for the fact reported from SeartIe 8 few months ago of consignment of Kuskokwim mail being returned to Seattle for dispatch via the mout of the Kuskokwim, after having lain for almost a year at Yukon river point. It would be well to fix the responsibility for the fact that during the navigation season. when the splendid river routes Of Alaska are available, the mail ser vice was far more irregular than in the winter, when mail was for warded with clock-like regularity. These conditions should be remediec' The plea no longer can be made that the mail service Of Alaska does not pay its way, and that we should be satisfied with what we get. If this plea were to be given any weight, thousands of rural mail routes throughout the country woul have to be abandoned. We have a right to expct and demand a mail service which can be depended upon at all seasons.
 visiting congressmen and others might also be enlightened upon the. roads of the territory, Or rather lack of roads. AstonishmeEt would undoubtedly be expresses at the tremendous. cost of hauling supplies from the navigable streams to the mines, and possibly the subject of roads might then have a different significance to them.
 By all means let Senator Jones visit Alaska, and all others in au- thorlty are welcome to come and investigate the manner in which Uncle Sam treats his "non-contigu- ous possession" s .-f.
