From the Great Lakes Bulletin.
Reports on the amount OF mail handled
at the Great Lakes naval station each
week, issued Monday morning for the
week previous. have shown Tor the last
two months a steadily Increasing number
of letters received and dispatched each
week.
This is mainly due to the rapid growth
of the station. although Great Lakes
sailors receive even moro han their due
share Of the mail in comparison with
other cities of 10000. Chief Mail Clerk r.
C. Burr said the other day.
The report issued for the week ending
August IS shows that 1.340, 600 letters and
postcards were mailed and received by
sailors. This Is a substantial increase
over the week previous. which held the
best previous record. In addition to this
amount 1926 registered letters and 1880
special delivery letters and parcels were
received.
Owing to the rapid Increase in the sta
ton mails. the personnel Of the depart.
ment has been added to recently,
and al the present time. 162 men are
attached to the main station and outlying
branches.

few hours probably would enjoy a trip
which Thomas Riggs. jr. governor of
Alaska. is now taking from Jureau, the
capital. across the territory to Nome,
not far from siberia's s coast.
Governor Riggs will travel. In all,
about 5000 miles by ocean steamer,
railroad, automobile stage, river steam

believed he will have to "mush" any
of the trip on foot. He will touch
nearly every one of the larger cities
and towns Of the northern territory.
The first lap is an easy steamship
journey nearly 1000 miles across the
Gulf of Alaska and up Cooks Inlet to
Anchorage. At Fairbanks he will
strike the Tanana river and board a
stern wheel river steamboat for st.
Michael on the Bearing Sea, about
1000 miles away. Thence an ocean
steamer or q launch will carry tho
executive EOS Norton Sound to
Nome.
Mrs. Riggs is accompanying her nus
band. Governor Riggs has gone on the
trip with the object Of learning Alas
ka's needs and meeting the people.
