WEDNESDAY. MAY 8, 1916

With but ten days notice the Juneau Skagway mail service, via Jualin and Eagle River, was discontinued-sum- marily plucked-and the residents of those two outlying points are now whistline for their mail, which refuses to appear. It can not be that the ser vice to the points mentioned is to ee discontinued entirely as such treat ment would not be in keeping with the Alaskan policy of the present adminis- tratiou, which is most liberal. But it must be admitted that the mail depart ment is the most backward and least progressive. go far as Alaska is concerned. of all public services. lt IS not consistent to build railroads Co open up one part of country and at tbe same time discontinue mail service to the detrimeut of another portion Of that same country. It is safe to say, however, that provision for serving the two posts above mentioned will be made iu the near future. The discon. tinuiug of tbe route from Juneau Co Skagway will occasion no iucouveni- encs in the simmer season when there are a dozen other steamers carrying mail between the two points, but m the winter season it will work a hardship ou Skagway in particular aud the in- terior country in general.

 The president of steamship com pany operating on the Seattle-Alaska route is quoted as saying his company expects to make double the profits this year that they made last and all steam ship men agree that last year was a very profitable oue If this is true, why that recent raise in both passenger and freight rates on the same route on which such big profits are expected this year? While no answer to this question is expected, it is not out of place to put it.
 There is every reason to believe that the diamond drill prospecting which will be under way in this locality be fore this time next week will eventu ally result m one or more as large mlu- ing plants as are now operated in the Channel vicinity being established here.

 The Juneou Daily Empire heartily endorses what this paper said last week about the "decomposed" mail service between Douglas-Treadwell aud that city. Conditions will be battered if those interested are sufficiently insis- tent. There is nothing like going after wrongs iu a whole hearted manner and the mail service between helsland and Juneau is certainly wrong.
