Mail Service Still a Problem

The Club has several times dis cussed the mail service, or rather the lack of mail service The merchants, especially, are constantly inconven- fenced by receiving a shipment of goods, and having to wait until the next boat arrives for the invoices When two boats are leaving Seattle on the same day the jobbers know enough to get their shipments on the faster boat, but almost invariably the Wrangell mail is put on the boat that reaches Wrangell one or two days after the other one was in port.
 Last month the Commercial Club sent out several letters with the ob- iect of getting relief from the present way of handling mail. One letter was sent to the Seattle Chamber of Com merce. IL read as follows
 Wrangell Commercial Club
 Wrangell, Alaska
 October 12, 1922. Seattle Chamber of Commerce,
 Seattle, Washington.
 Gentlemen
 The Wrangell Commercial Club notes with "a appreciative interest your various efforts to better condi- tions in Alaska. That is why we pre- sent the following matter for your consideration and ask you to support our position. #s
 For years there have been occurring unnecessary irregularities in the del- ivery of at least some of the Alaska coast mail. To illustrate. we point to the rather frequent occurrence of having two steamers leave Seattle near the same hour of the day and our Southeast Alaska mails aboard the steamer that is sure to arrive here from twelve to twenty-four hours behind the other one. As a result of this mistake in dispatching our mails, the Wrangell merchants frequently receive their invoices from twelve to twenty-four hours after receipt af their freight. Such delays are annoying to the general public as well as to the merchants.
 However, this presentation of past and present experiences with our mail service is not made as com plaint; it is only with view to i'm provement. and here is the way by which we believe the desired i'm proyement can be brought about.
 Let there be placed1int the Seattle Post Office, as Superintendent of Alaska Mails, a man who is person ally familiar with this coast; one who will not know only where each office Is located but how it can and will be most quickly reached; who will note the changing conditions of certain deliveries during the winter months and will route the mails

Bill and Betty Leave for Washington

Bill and Bettie, the pair of pet deer, owned by MT. and Mrs. William Taylor, were shipped last week to Washington where they will be placed in the National Geological park. These deer were found strand d by a fisherman three years ago when they were only few days old. They were great pets, and in way, every one was sorry to see them go.

Dry Pass Project Being Considered

Dry Pass Project Being Considered
 Several months ago the Wrangell Commercial Club undertook to bring to the attention of the Government the urgent need for having Dry Pass cleared of Instructions and made safe and navigable at all times for gas boats of ordinary size.
 The secretary wrote letters to rep resentatives of the War Department setting forth that the Dry Pass is a much travelled route by gas boat at all seasons. In winter it is used on account of its being a protected in side route. away from the dangers of extreme ocean weather; in summer it is used on account of it's being a route which misses the fogs that make navigation dangerous in Sum- ner straits and around Warren and Heceta Islands.
 The secretary also pointed out that Dry Pass is an economical route on account of distances saved in passing between certain points of interest to the small-boat men, and bears the same relative importance to residents of Southeastern Alaska as well To- cated highway would bear to main land residents
 At the present time the passage is somewhat obstructed by rocks, making it dangerous for passage ex- cept at high tide. for distance of approximately one hundred yards. These Instructions are near Shakan, approximately one mile from the Sha- kan eannery. nGoifam&
 The efforts of the Commercial. Club to impress the War Department with the importance of this matter have not been in vain. The matter is at least receiving attention. as is in dfcated by the following letter which was received six months after the Commercial Club first gave the mat ter attention:

Wrangell Commercial Club Wrangell, Alaska
 November 6, 1922.

Secretary of War,
 Washington, D. C. Dear Sir
 On March 1st, 1922, this Club sent out a letter detailng the desirability of improving what is known as The Dry Pass Route on the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island.
 Some rocks need to be removed in order to make the Pass Safe at all times for fishermen, and the scores of other small craft constantly needing to travel that course. The work is not extensive in it's demands. but the ben efits through shortening the route will be great.
 Word has just come from Col Jas. G. Steese, telling us that he has in- cluded the Dry Pass Improvements in his list of proposed examinations and surveys for the consideration of the River and Harbor Committee of Con- gress in making up their next River and Harbor Bill. We respectfully urge you to use your influence toward getting action in the matter.
