AIRPLANE MAIL
 SERVICE BEING
 DISCUSSED NOW
FROM SEATTLE TO ALASKAN PORTS MAY CON NECT WITH ALASKA AIRCRAFT AT VALDEZ DEPARTMENT ASK ED FOR ITS COOPERATION

Advises received on the last boat from the outside show that the Alas ka Aircraft Transportation which will start operations in the spring ia plan ming to cooperate with the seaplane service to be established by the navy department and that these machines will come to Valdez is without doubt.
 It has been represented to the de- partment that this airplane company plans to establish air lines from Val deg to Fairbanks and Nome, and that continuing the flight of the sea plane 50 miles farther mails can connect with the overland service and be de- livered to Nome within six hours from the time of leaving Valdez. This will place Nome within th a" day'e rJm- munication with Seattle. and will al so give Fairbanks a three day ser vice from the states. -.
 The local company in all probabil- ity will extend it's operations to the Siberian field if business warrants.
 The officials of the Alaska Aircraft Transportation company are working on the proposition, and have assur- ances that their proposal will be adopted This will give Ketchikan, Juneau, Cordova and Valdez quick mails service, and will also give the interior a rapid service. The route will probably be extended to Seward also Valdez Miner.
