NO CHANGES IN
 SERVICE BEING
 DISCUSSED NOW
COMMERCIAL CLUB ADVISED THAT PRESENT MAIL SERVICE WILL BE MAINTAINED; IN- CREASED SERVICE REQUESTED NOT BE ALLOWED.

While the postoffice department has declined to make any additions to the present mail service for this season, it has announced that there according to statement made by J. A. Mcintosh, president of the Fair banks Commercial Club, yesterday. MT. Mcintosh stated that the local club recently took up the matter of q more extended service with the department to which d reply has been received as follows:
 With reference to your letter of tho 21st SultimO, requesting addi- tiohal service for the supply of Fair banks during the winter months and other matters, you are informed that careful investigation was made dur ing the past summer of conditions af- fecting the service in Alaska. The report on such investigation shows that large number of former resi- dents in the interior of Alaska have left the territory. Notwithstanding such decrease in the number of pa irons, practically the same amount of service has been continued, which increases the amount of mail carried per patron. You understand, of course, that the winter service for the interior of Alaska is very eX- pensive and that it is necessary, un- der present conditions. to limit the service. In view of the decrease in the number of patrons it is con sidered that the present service pro vides a very reasonable mail sup ply, and that the department would not be warranted in mourning the expense that would be involved for additional service under present conditions, pending the completion or the near completion of the govern ment railroad by which all mails could be reasonably carried at all season.

 General"
