Discussions of postal problems

object of these conventions and the
result Of the meetings is expected to
bring about a spirit Of cooperation
and good will never before attained
in the Post Office Department.
During the tariff debate in the
Senate yesterday an amusing ex-
change of personalities took place be-
tween Senators Caraway of Arkan-
sas, Ransdell Of Louisiana and Sim
mons of North Carolina.
Senator Ransdell had just spoken
against immediate action on bill TO
amend the cotton futures act which
Senator Caraway was urging. After
much wraneling in an attempt to
gain the floor the Arkansas Senator
had this to say of his colleague from
Louisiana:
He is one Of those farmers who

Secretary Weeks also pointed out
that in tine spast, the mere presence
of regular troops has invariably had
a quieting effect and advanced the

some alarmists were inclined to be-
lieve.

The Louisiana Senator then pro
ceeded to discourse at some length
on cotton, when an appeal was MADE
to let the tariff bill go ahead. Sena-
tor Ransdall said he would gladly
WELD the floor, but that if there was
any other speaking, he would have
to reply.
Senator Simmons broke up the
rapid exchange of compliments winch
followed with this verbal solar pleXuss;

The young people had been di- vided into three groups to represent Yale, Harvard and Chicago Unfyer- sities and each group did it's best to win the Meet, and to give the best yells. Yale was victorious with 100 points, Chicago second with 95 and Harvard third with SS.

from MT. W. G. VanDervoort, Super intendent Thirteenth Division Rail- way Mail Service, is just at hand. It is clear to us that an error has been made, and we hasten to correct any wrong impression you may nave drawn from our communication though just how you reached the wrong impression is not quite clear.
 In the first place, we know nothing pire. It would seem that that clipping about the clipping you sent to MT. VanDeryoort, from the Juneau Elm must have been your basis for figur- ing us in as opposed to having the mails carried by the Princess boats.
 On the contrary, the Princess boats have been our "best bet on regular and right-on-the-dot mail service. We always know what day to expect them. and they rarely vary their time of arrival more than an hour or two. NO. We do NOT ask for any change in the good service we have been re- aeiving by way of the Princess boats.
 We believed that the situation We were hoping to see corrected was ey- ident enough down your way to call for no fuller specifications than were given. Surely you must know, that when the Jefferson and an Admiral boat are leaving on the same day It is a mistake to let the Jefferson have the larger consignment of mail. Also when an Admiral boat and either the Alameda or the Northwestern leave the same day, it brings the same re- suit if the Admiral boat is given the important consignment. It was thus that our mails were sometimes be- lated by more than twelve hours in their delivery here.
 At no time, so far as we can recall, has an American bottom delivered the mail to Wrangell in quicker time than the Princess boats. This state ment must not be construed as criticism of our American bottoms. We very fully appreciate the service they are giving sus,ezand We stand ready to do; everything in our power to help them to still larger eheien- cy.

 Seattle, Washington. s
 October 31, 1922. Mir. C. D. Garfield,
 Asst. Sec, Alaska Department,
 Seattle Chamber Of Commerce, Seattle, Washington. My dear Mir. Garfield
 I have to acknowledge receipt of yours of the 25th inst. inclosing copy of letter from the Wrangell Commer- cial Club dated the l2th inst. rela- tive to transmission of mails by northbound steamers, also clipping from the Alaska Daily Empire Of the 14th inst. published at Juneau, Alaska.
 In this connection l have to advise you that during previous seasons the Princess boats have made about the same tnme to Alaskan ports as the vessels of the Alaska Steamship Com pany or the Admiral Line, and on request of the post offices concerned We have been sending the mail by those boats. It appears, however, that under the present schedule the steamers ALAMEDA and NORTH WESTERN make somewhat better time enroute than the Princess liners, especially if they sail the same day.
 l have instructed the Chief Clerk in charge of the Alaska service to hereafter give the preference to the ALAMEDA and NORTHWESTERN for all common ports when these vessels sail on the same day as the Princess Mary and Princess Alice. and I feel certain there will be no further cause for complaint. 1 might say, however, that this is the first complaint we have had during the entire season of the Princess boats falling down and fialing to make good or better time than the Amer ican vessels sailing on the same day am of the opinion. however. that that our American bottoms should receive preference in the dispatch of mails, and will hereafter be gov erned accordingly. u-
 Respectfully yours, @ e W. C., VANDERVOORT,
