Asks for Establish ment of Mail Route
 by Way Minchumina

The following letter, concerning the esta blshment of mail route via Min chumina, in which is voiced the senti- ments of many residents hereabouts. was recently forwarded to Delegate Daa Sutherland
 Tokotna, Alaska, Sept 1, 1925. Hon. Dan Sutherland.
 Delegate to Congress,
 Washington, D. C.:
 h reply to yours of June 8th, in re gard to airplane mail service for this section. will admit airplanes are very satisfactory Outside, where traffic con- ditions are congesaed, but up here we do not meet with those conditions; also useful in this country in emergency crses. In discussing mail routes with citizens of this section, the majority are in favor of the Minchumina Lake route. Everybody is anxious for a semi-monthly service via that route, being assured by kammisgaard and other we'll known oldtimers that such route would be dependable
 In the spring. perishables could be landed at McGrath from a month to six week earlier than present mode of transportation. Also, the summer route would be in touch with the winter mail trail in case of early freezeup, which has occurred. The proposed route would have tendency to develop that section of country lying between here and Neuana. Prospectors who want to go into that section at present are either compelled to buy or charter a gasboat, which you know isn't likely to happen. With a permanent route es- tablished as proposed, they could come and go at will.
 Trusting you will be able to get some sort of satisfactory mail service for us during the summ3 months,
 Very truly yours,
 JACK MUTCHLER.

Fire At w. G. MiIIer's

Last Thursday afternoon the resi-
dence of Mr.. VIM. G.. Miller of lower
Malta caught fire, and it was neces-
sary to call out the fire department
to extinguish the flames. 1t started
from built-in heater in the bath
room which is located on the first
floor, and ran up to the garret. Eff
forts to put out the fire with hand
chemical apparatus failed, and it
was necessary to turn on the water,
which caused quite lot of damage.
1t will be recalled that two years
ago, to almost the very day, Mr..
Miller's house, better known as the
C. A. Miller property, was destroyed
by fire.
While the fire damage was not
great, loss from fire and water to-
gether will not be far from ST 900,
which is covered by insurance Some
of the rooms will have to be replas-
tered, and the hardwood floors are
badly damaged. There was also fur
niture and bedding in the loft which
was ruined
Mr.. Miller wishes us to take this
method of thanking the large num-
ber who SO willingly assisted in put
ting out the fire-a thing that he
deeply appreciates

SECOND UNIT PHILO POWER
PLANT NEARING COMPLETION

1t is stated that the second unit
OF the huge power plant at Philo is
practically completed and will be in
actual operation by March L. This
is the second unit completed. The
original plans called for six units,
but the other four will not be COM
pleted at the present time, and con-
.struction work will be halted for q
time. The plant will pass through
the proving" stage-that is it must
prove that it is capable of doing the
work planned for it, and thus justify
the expenditure of money, before the
other units will be constructed.
There are about 200 men employed
on the construction work. The OPP
Grating force numbers 120 at pres
ent, and the second unit will not re-
quire an additional force of more
than about dozen. With but the
one unit running, it requires about
400 tons of coal daily, and when the
second unit is in operation the coal
consumption will be practically
doubled. The coal is being supplied
by various mines in the vicinity Of
the plant, and from Sonora and the
Hooking valley The last extension
to the switch yard is almost finish
ed This extension is to Charleston,
w. Va, and will furnish power to
that section of West Virginia.
