AERIAL NAIL ROUTES.
By Frederic ]. Haskin.

The United States is going to have
an aerial mail service soon. Early in
May the Post Office Department adver-
tised for bids on an aeroplane service
throughout Alaska. in answer to which
the owner of three powerful aeroplanes
Is now on his way from the Alaskan
gold fields to close contract. This
mans bid, which is for s49.500 a year,
was accepted by the department for
the reason that 1t was the only one
submitted. The demand for aircraft
and skilled operators in Europe is so
great that very few aeroplanes, aside
from the comparatively small number

remain in this country. A bid was
also requested for similar service
from New Bedford. Mass, TO Nantucket.
r. L. but so far no one has offered to
undertake It.
The question OF an aerial mail serv-
ice in this country has been in process
of agitation ever since 1910. when
mail pouch was carried by aeroplane
to the New York post office from the
steamship Kaiserin Victoria, which
was lying fifty miles at sea. Follow
ing that. no less than sixty-seven at
tempts were made to show the praC-
ticability of carrying mail through the
air. The proposition was the subject
of so much popular interest that it
was adopted by various municipal
boards of trade as an advertising fea-
ture. The plan was to secure permits
sion from the government to carry the
mail by aeroplane a specific distance
for a certain number of days. thus at
tracing great crowds of people to wit
ness the phenomenon and incidentally
the space of six years these demon
STATIONS proved SO uniformly success
full that the government decided to
adopt the plan in stretches of country
where the usual method of transporta-
ton was expensive and difficult.

where the last mail sled in the fall and
the first mail sled in the spring are
events to be celebrated like the Fourth

contract for aeroplane service at $40

system costs. but the aeroplane will

to mail. the postal aeronaut expects to
run passenger and express service.
There are many sections of the coun-
try that would be greatly benefited by
a swift mail service which would be
practically impossible except by air be-
cause the route would lie over noun
tains and desert. From Santa Maria to
Shale. Cal. for example, the distance is
not-ov fifty miles as the crow flies,
but over the mountain range that sepa-
rates them it takes two days for the
mail to travel. AS important oil in

towns, the slowness Of the mail is
great hardship.

than hundred miles, in a little more
than an hour, while under the present
system ii requires two days for the mail

miles apart, but a journey of twenty
four hours lies between them. The
rapid development of the aeroplane is
watched with much interest in these
places, where a national aerial mail

A move by the government to have

attorney refused to agree with mo

ing to prevent the payment of ex.

to Washington, were originally
brought before Circuit Judge Ashford
But Judge Ashford, finding that he was
related to parties in the litigation,
transferred the matters to Circuit
Judge Stuart.
The cases were set for 10 O'Clock
this morning before Judge Stuart for
argument on demuirers filed by
Forbes, the governor and other re-
spondents. Encouragement Stainback
moved that the cases be transferred
TO Circuit Judge Whitney.
In unfolding the territory's motion,
Deputy Attorney-genera Arthur G.
Smith argued that, as Judge Stuart's
resignation is in Washington, he
might not be in the territory long
enough TO hear the cases in their en-
tirety.
Judge Stuart stated that he had
sent his resignation to Washington
some time ago, and that he was set
ting no more cases for trial other
than the ones which had been special
ly assigned to him.
Wilder then argued that Washing
ton has made no announcement re-
garding Judge Stuart,s resignation.
and that Judge Stuart undoubtedly
would have ample time to try the case
pending the acceptance of the resig-
nation, if It is accepted, and the ap--
pointment of q successor to Judge
Stuart.
The court was of the opinion that
the matter should be compromised,
and that an agreement by both sides
was necessary before the case would
be transferred to Judge Whitney's
court. Judge Wfldef's attorney, how
ever, declined to agree.
