LETTERS DELAYED;
 ADDRESSED WRONG

According to information received by Postmaster Love, the delivery of many letters intended for Alaska is greatly de- layed, and i'll some cases the letters are lost. because of the failure of the senders to write Alaska" in full on the envel- opes. The impression has gone abroad that the name of our territory can be ab- breviated and the postal authorities are now endeavoring 10 convince the public that letters thus addressed are usually sent to Alabama or find their way into the dead letter office, instead of being forwarded to Alaska.
 "Ala.' is the proper abbreviation for Alabama. and Aka" which is often written for Alaska, does not mean any thing to the postal authorities
 The people of Nenana and elsewhere ill Alaska can save themselves an unnec- essary amount of annoyance and incon- venience, resulting from the delay and loss of letters, by suggesting to their friends and business correspondents in the States that they write Alaska in full OH all mail intended for the North.
