SYNDICATE 10 TO BID ON AERO MAIL eERvlcE
 INTENDED FOR NORTH

After many years of faithful service. the Alaska mali dogs,-those of them that have not been "conscripted" for service somewhere in France9-may set @ well earned rest next winter, says Jack Underwood in the Seattle Times. The government has called for bids for the delivery of mall by aeroplanes in on Alaska towns not open Go steamship service.
 A syndicate of Alaskans is now in California arranging for tho cons.ruc- ton of machines. One aeroplane Is now under construction, and. in the event of the syndicate being unable to set favorable contracts for mail de- livery 1t will be used to carry gold from the interior each year. after the transportation by water has been sus- pended.
 Should a mail contract be made with the government a fleet Of aeroplanes will be built this spring and summer. Every year more than $1.OoO.OOO is taken ont by the miners of Iditarod and other interior camps, after navi- gatlon is closed, and this gold usually is hauled out by dog teams, the jour ney requiring several weeks. The Al aslans figure that the saving of In. terest on the money while the bullion is in transit would pay the cost ol operation of an aeroplane.
 The introduction of a fleet of flying machines in Alaska will be hailed with general rejoicing by interior Alaskan cities, both winter and summer, es- pecially Iditarod and Fairbanks. In summer, mail to these points is sent by steamship to st. Michael. then up the Yukon River and It's tributaries It usually takes letter from twenty to thirty days to travel from Seattle to Fairbanks and about the same per iod of time is lost between Seattle and Idltarod. With aeroplanes oper ating from the coastal towns this time will be cut down more than 70 per cent.

coVera seven Routes


 The routes over which the govern ment has called for contracts for the delivery of mail, per aeroplane. are as follows:
 From Valdez to Fairbanks S5S miles; from Fairbanks to Panama, 162 miles; rom Panama to KaItag, SS1 miles; from Kaltag to Nome. 225 miles; from Seward to lditarod. ssO miles; from Id.tarod to Nome. 2SO miles: from Seward to Anchorage. no miles.
 While Alasllnns have been com pIaining about the northern mail ser vice for many years. 1t was until the Alaska Engineering Commission put in a protest and the Alaskans them. selves began to organize a company to carry mail and express by aeroplane that the postSl authorities tool: the matter seriously. The seven routes proposed by the department would reach the principal mining districts of the Interior. The engineering commission became interested in the project because of the trouble and loss Of time In getting mail from An- chorage and Seward. tho coast ter. minal of the federal railroad, to it's executive offices at Fairbanks. the in- land terminal.
 Sixty Days for Mail
 Under the present plan. Fairbanks mail in summer, is taken to Skagway from Seattle and then shipped to Whitehorse by railroad and thence to its destination by river steamboat. The commissions mail originating at Seward or Anchorage was sent south to skagway and frequently to Seattle to catch vessel bound for slsagwoy, thus occupying about sixty days for tho delivery of letter and m answer thereto. With an aeroplane delivery from Valdez the time consumed would be from six to eight days. Members of the commission estimate that the introduction Of aeroplanes will save the government many thousands of dollars each year.
 Isolated by the frozen Boring Sea for eight months in the year. Nome win receive greater benefits than any of the other towns from the aerial mall service. Ordinarily the mail to Ghe Boring Sea metropolis is thirty to forty days in transit from Seattle. This time will be cut down to ten days
 From Kaltag to Nome is one of the worst divisions in che Alaskan ser vice. The coast of Boring sea is ire quentIy swept by blizzards. NIushers regard this as tho most dangerous part of the journey. and 1t will be no less risky for the ayIators in the aer- isl service.
 The syndicate of Alaskans which brought the project to the attention of the government has recently tested Q biplaue that carries 1000 pounds of useful cargo in addition to its av.a- tor. gasoline and equipment. It is believed that with fleet of this class of machines, if provided with suitable places and machinists to make necessary repairs, a dependable mail service can be established.

He spent more time coughing than eating at Nish."
