MAIL CONTRACT
 BY AEROPLANE
 NOT AWARDED
ALASKA AIR MAIL DELIVERY POSTPONED FOR PRESENT.
 ONE RID RECEIVED.

Photographic dispatches received here during the past week from Washington, b. C., were to the ef, feet that the postotfiCe department has decided to postpone the deliy- cry of mail oy aeroplane in Alaska, the reason being the great cost of doing so. The bids for the aerial mail contract were opened in Wash ington by the postmaster general last Monday and 1t was discovered that Earl Bvers, of Iditarod, was the only bidder His bid was for the sum of Si9O00 for a twice-per- week service between Seward and Idtarod the year round. No bond accompanied Byers bid, but the bidder gave ample assurance that he could furnish bonds when re quired to do so. Guarantees of his reliability were furnished by the Idtarod Commercial club and by the Miners and Merchants Bank of Iditarod.
 According to the dispatches re ceived here, Postmaster General Bur leson considers that the bid of Byers was too high. He stated, however that the department had no thought of giving up the aerial mail service in Alaska, and that a second call for bids for the contract is to be issued Not however before the manufacturers indicate that they can make a machine which will do tho work more cheaply than those of the present day,
 Later advices received from Wash ington, D. c, are to the effect that Postmaster General Burleson is still considering the bid of Earl Byers He has wired to Byers requesting the bidder to furnish the bond which would be required in the event that the mail contract was awarded to him.

coma. +"
l have been making Il CAM
paign to secure official recOg-
milton at Washington of the
name for the mountain given
il by the aborigines. The
"beautifuI name Tacoma"
was once SO recognized, but
the name of a British admir-
al was substituted and, as
MIR. Conoyer says, Tacoma Is
quite sincere i'm believing
that AN outrage was perpe-
trated when that substs,2.t3
was made.
No substantial opposition
to a resubstitution of the
name Tacoma has developed
in all this period of agita-
ton covering several months.
Seattle, which was RESPONSE
BILE for substituting the name
of the British admiral, has
made no opposition what
ever, and now only raises the
question: is Tacoma the
historically correct nance"
Believing that the time
has fully arrived for erasing
this "hyphenated monstros-
ity," this blot upon the
whole northwest" that rep
resents only sectional jeal-
ousy;" believing that the
time has come when these
two cities should be working
together on adiffere1- oasis
than they did IN the bitter
old days of 1889, am very
much in earnest about this
matter.
The campaign, which was
working rapidly toward the
desired contamination, was

more genuine benefit to the

cOmplished-than this-tO
help remove this thing that
has brought embarrassment
and humiliation to their citi-

1t is wholly a matter of
education-just going after
it persistently.
The geographic board at

clusively shown, is ready and
more than willing.
Seattle as also clearly
shown, has wholly out
grown all prejudice in the
matter and is literally ready
to join hands and petition
for the removal of this blot

My suggestion is that The
Times take the matter up
with its accustomed energy
and vigor; that an organiza-
ton be formed for the pur-
pose alone of PUTTING
THIS THING OVER.
We might call il The JUS
