'Ffhe following letter from Delegate Sutherland to the Second Assistant Postmaster General should be of par ticular interest to everyone in this sec tion, as it shows that he took early ac- tion toward securing an efficient mail service for the people of bhis portion of the Interior, his efforts finally result ing in the restoration of the Rainy Pass mail route:

 My Dear Sir
 In conversation with Mir. Corridor today I discussed the subject of mail road at Wasilla. and tte town of Me- Grath on the Kuskok vim, and inas- much as I am firmly convinced that the Postoffice Department should give direct service to that interior town that is located in the center of recent mining development and now contains 9 large and rapidly growing popula- tien.I desire to submit few facts to you that gre based upon .sbe report of she chief mail clerk in Alaska which Mr. Corridor has called to my atten- tion.
 The,figures set forth by the chief mail clerk show that the mail, after leaving the railroad at Nenaua, travels :. at the rate of 29 or 30 miles per day, /: for ete sets forth that it~requires Is . days to transport the mail from Nenana to McGrath by horse and dog team, and as the distance is approximately , 460 miles, the rate of travel is about 29 miles per day. It Is safe to assume i that two days will be occupied in trans porting the mail from Wasilla by rail-.

the Rainy Pass section of the trail, and if that is done it will be a reat aid to the mail service.
 A glance at the map of Alaska will show you that the present mail route from Wasilla to McGrath covers about three-fourths of the circumference of a circle, while the direct route by way Of Rainy Pass would represent a about.o one quarter of the circumference of circle. 1 hope you may see your way clear to let contract for carrying the mail through this section.

road to Nenana, and consequently it requires IS days for transportat ion oi small fcora. Wasilla to McGrath by the present. routeeaffd~ the route approved of by the chief mail clerk for the com- ing winter.
 The distance from Wasilla to Me- Grath, the chief clerk states, is ap- proximately 20 miles. and traveling at the rate of 30 miles per day, it would only require 7B days to transport the mail by this direct route through Rainy Pass. thus saving 10s days in transit
 I herewith tabulate the above state- ment:
 Wasia to Neaaas days Nenana to McGrath via Yukon Is days Total time occupied Wasilla to
 McGrath Is days Total time occupied Wasilla to
 McGrath via Rainy Pass 73 days lime saved Rainy Pass route los days
 Fron this table, bassd on the figures of your chief clerk, it can be readily seen that in a spirit of economy it is proposed to delay the mail service to McGrath just l0s days, which. I sub init to you, is not wise economy if ade- quate mail service is desirable
 The McGrath section of the Kusko- kwim valley is the most thriving min ing section of Interior Alaska today. and every indication points to a large increase of population, and in order that industry may be stimulated and business men may have an opportunity you should -favorab,y consider giving these people an adeq quate vnaaii service.
 Considerable stress has been laid en the fact that the people of Iditarod and McGrath and other Iaterior points de- sire to have this trail through Rainy Pass kept open during the winter sea son. and submit to you in connection witt that thatitne travel over the trail in winter by Interior residents would aid the mail service as much as the mail service would aid them.

to recover power? AS for the
two we now have with us, either
of them would face and accept
death rather than inflict the
wounds of war upon their coun-

On that hot August morning the sun
beat down merciessly on the little vii
lage. The occasional passing carriage
stirred up clouds of dust that settled
on the dried, brown and already thick
ly coated grass and trees. Only the
whirr of the locust broke the heavy
silence. Not the tinicst white cloud in
the blazing blue sky promised relief
from the intOlerable weather.
At the click of the gate and the
sound of Il quick step on the brick
path, Miss Elizabeth Ann pushed her
spectacles up from the tip Of her nose
and waited for her visitor to appear
around the corner of the little porch,
closed in with honeysuckle vines,

Passes The Buck Back

President Harding called a confer
enece in Washington of prominent
business men and sociOlogistS to di-
agnose the disease in the business
world and prescribe a remedy. He re-
ferred the matter to the mayors of
cities and chambers of commerce in
the different localities. Last Monday
a committee of the ChambeG of Com
merce in Philadelphia met and made
their views known. They declared that
the failure of Congress to enact the
1920 campaign pledges of the Repub-
lican party is the root of the unem-
ployment trouble throughout the
United States, according to the May
or's Committee on Unemployment.
While addressing itself to the task of
finding openings for the unemployed
in Philadelphia, the committee also
called upon President Harding and
Congress Immediately to enact legis-
lation, which, it is pointed out, is
necessary to permanent restoration of
prosperity.
The resolutions to President Hard
ing recently drawn by the Chamber
of Commerce asked for the immediate
passage Of the Railroad Refund bill,
repeal of the Adamson Eight-HOur
law, abolition of the Railroad Labor
Board, adoption of a tariff, with the
American valuation as its basis, a
turnover sales tax in place Of the
present financial program, and a
downward revision of freight and pas
senger rates.
