The remarks of the postmaster general relative to the mall bids to De opened on the I2tn inst. suggest that we are practically assured Of the much discussed and tondly anticipated aerial mail service. Douotless everything looKs very favor able just now and we, as we'll as Mir Burleson, may allow our hopes to expand
 with the thought that the
 heet wlnged messengers of the sKIes will soon be dropping our
 billet doux from the great out side at short and regular inter
 vals, regardless of steamboats, dog teams and other ancient sys-
 tems of conveyance. Prospects are very good and we are very likely to be listening for the sput- ter of the incoming mail carrier before many weeks have winged thlr way into the past. But, all the same we should be bit care ful aDout hltching our hope wa gon to star yet awhile tor fear that some unforeseen obstacle may develop to upset all our cal culations, and leave Us just where we have been since fortune, or whatever It was, lured us to these golden but exceedingly iso- lated SnoreS.
 I he air lanes of the north are practically unexplored and no one really knows whether the contemplated service will realize the hopes of its promulgators or not. AS MT. Burleson intimates in the midst of his optimism the establishment of an aerial mail route in Alaska is largely in the nature of an experiment. and one that will attract the attention of the world becaues ,of the vast magnitude of the plan under which 1t will operate.
 Air routes are still novelty even in more favored climes than Alaska. Such as have been es- tablished have worked but all are Still III the experimental stage. Further they are short and con ducted in situations most favora- ble to success hence they cannot be looked upon as offering abso- lute assurance with respect to All 'aska where conditions are just about as different as can be i'm agined. Here the distances to be covered are such as to make the even longest of few experiment. al aeroplane mail routes so far established infinitely small by comparison. In addition there are weather. conditions of the most rigorous severity to add fur ther uncertainties to other haz- ardous conditions It is a fair surmise that aeroplanes will be able to operate during the sum mer but as to the winter no one can ptleSe fhe 0ros0acfs .4..
