"Bv cooperative action on the part

FARMERS AND PARCEL POST ARE
THE ANSWER
Postoftice Department Suggests Pro-

The Postoffice Department believes
Mrs. United States Housewife herself

housewife i'm the nation to give Its

more than 10000 postmasters in eV-

them to list all farmers in their lnl-
mediate districts, who are willing to
ship produce and dairy products dl-
rect to consumers by parcel post.
Lists of these farmers will be pub
lished for the guidance of any con-
sumner who wishes to make use Oh
them. The lists may be had for the
asking.

NOME, ALASKA, FEB IA. 1916.

The announcement that the postof flee department has called for bids for an aerial mail service. embracing bi- weekly carriage of mails between the southeastern coast and the principal points Of interior Alaska is one thaJ will doubtless be received with con- siderable rejoicing by the citizens Of those sections who have. like ourselves, been compelled 10 wait for weeks ana months for the letters, papers and magazines which mean so much to those living in isolated places. But, in the midst of nur ~l-,IVH, IL IS well to remember that 1t Is by no means cer- taIin that the proposed service will be naugurated, at least on the date called for, if at all It is the evident intention of the department to estab- fish such service if practicable but, there are many factors attending the installation of this novel departure which must be taken into considera- ton before the project may bs looked upon as a certainty.
 The first of these are the costs which must be incurred in the estab- lishment of comprehensive air ser vice in a land where there are few of the ordinary facilities of civilza- ton and where the distances to be covered are particularly immense. What these costs may be. can hardly be conjectured In the absence of in formation. nearly all of which will probably have to be ascertained before prospective contractors will hazard a bid for service in such a formidable and untried field.
 Another, and perhaps the most vital matter of all to be taken into account. Is whether or not the project Is really as feasible as 1t seems. The post office officials evidently believe that il ig or they would hardly call for bids, but at the same time 1t must be agreed that few, if any, really know anything about it. In fact 1t appears from the tone of the press dispatches that the whole thing is looked upon more or less as an experiment. No one has ever tried the task of flying over the far spreading, snow covered wastes of the far north and 1t Is still mooted question among aviators If the intense ly cold temperature of far northern attitudes will permit of extensive air navigation.
 According to several competent known at present, air navigation In extremely low temperatures. Is not impossible but has been found to be beset with many difficulties which seem to form almost insurmountable obstacles to long sustained flight. ItI Is true avlators have flown In attitudes W here the cold Is of far greater in- tensity than that normally encounter ed In Alaska during the winter season. but. this has occurred during only | short periods of flight and nothing Is decisiyely known as to the possible effects of long flights In zero temper atures on both men and machinery. As far as has been learned. extreme cold affects the engines of aeroplanes in such a wey as to male flight very difficult and extremely dangerous Flights in Alaska during the summer

season will probably be attended with no more difficulties than are encoun- tered In lower attitudes, but. as fur as ascertained. the extreme weather conditions of the winter season are of a character to inhibit rather than favor the proposed air service.
 It Is not the intention to attempt to throw cold water on a project which means SO much to us of this and other sections of Alaska bur 1t Is the part of wisdom not to build our hopes too high on a mere prospect until the facts and possibilities are aseertained with a greater degree of certainty
 Anything which affords prospect of relief from the present unsatisfact- lo1y mail service should be hailed with toy full appreciation but 1t may be well remarked that we should, In no degree lesson the present fight for better service until the possibilities of the aerial mail route have been fully demonstrated and found equal to the demands.
 The project looks very practical In the absence of contrary knowledge and we echo the wish of every one in this section that 1t will prove as feasible as 1t looks. If successful, 1t means nothing less than that practically all of the present day difficulties of mall communication will be overcome and we will be able to carry on business and social correspondence without the
