 PETITION r
Asks for the Early Free ton of a Station at
 TacOtna.

of a wireless station at Tacotna is now under way, as shown in petition now in circulation, signed in duplicate. ad- dressed to Delegate Dan Sctherland, Gov. Scott C. Bone and the Chief of the U s. Signal Corps, Washington, D. c. The petition is powerful argu- ment for the erection of station here. It already carries over one hundred signatures, and is as follows:
 a Your petitioners, who are residents of Tacotna, Yankee Creek, Canes Creek and Little Creek, and who have affixed their signatures hereto, respect fnlly submit the following statements of fact and most urgently sreqaest that you usesyour best endeavors in their behalf to the end that their prayer be granted at the earliest date possible.
 Your petitioners represent that they are actively engaged in or dependent upon the mining industry and the con- seQuent development of the Territory of Alaska. That they are without telegraphic communication with points in Alaska and the States and are solely dependent on 9 mail service in the sumner months. That said mail ser ylce is monthly service, uncertain, unreliable and unsatisfactory. and can aat be depended upon for the transac- ton of business requiring quickness and promHtness of despatch. That the nearest point at which telegraphic communication may be reached Is at McCrath, where a wireless station is maintained, and which necessitates a trip of approximately eighty miles from the center of the territory em- braced in this petition. That the wire less station at McGrath was not estab- lished by the U. 5. Signal Corps for the use and benefit of the public. but was established by private enterprise and for their especial use and benefit and was acquired by the U. s. Signal Corps and .maintained and operated at the present location, which serves the in- terests sof the private enterprise as heretofore, but does not conveniently serve the mining district embraced in the territory herein mentioned. That Tacotna is the logical location for the establishment of 6 wireless station, being the distributing and quitting point serving this mining district. That approximately 75 per cent of the receipts of the wireless station at Mc- Grath are derived from the territory wherein your petitioners reside.
 Your petitioners call your attention to the comparative table of population of this district in support of their re- quest for relief:
 l919-Tacotna, 10; Yankee Creek, 6: Canes Creek, 6; Little Creek, 10.
 1923-Tacotna, 75; Yankee Creek, 9; Canes Creek, 60; Little Creek. 9.
 Dredges-Yankee Creek, l; Canes Creek, 2; Little Creek, l.
 Your petitioners respectfully submit that the business of mining in the ter ritory embraced is carried on by dredges which have been installed at a cost of approximately eight hundred thousand dollars and is an indication of the importance of the industry which should be fostered and encouraged and which is entitled to the best service in communication and transportation, in- asmuch as this development is not of a temporary nature, but is a recent and well-founded development in a proven country.
