 I am very much afraid that they will not do anything in the matter this sum- mer, as they claim, and rightly, that ehey have no fands for emergency mail service. The general policy of econ omy on the part of the Administration has affected the Postoffiee Department pretty seriously so far as Alaska mail service goes. They are, however, pre- paring 3heir advertisements for con- sracts for next year, and in all the Alaska contracts they have provision for air service; that is, they call for She bids in such way that it is op- Tional with the Department as to whether they will give the air service sor not. anticipate, however, that shey will try to give air service on

 Sincerely yours,
 DAN SUTHERLAND. Following is Delegate Sutherland s letter to the Second Assistant Postmas- ter General:
 Washington, June 6, 1925 Second Assistant Postmaster General,
 Washington, D. c.
 My Dear Sir
 In preparing your advertisements for bids on mail carrying contracts in Alaska 1 wish you would give consid- eration to an air mail route from the Government Railroad to Tokotna, Alaska, in the Kuskok vim river sec tion.
 This section of Alaska has had 8 very poor mail service during the sum- mer season, and inasmuch as iU is au important mining point and the center of dredging operations the people of that community are entitled to a much better summer mail service than they have received. I believe the poorest mail service in Alaska is that to To- kotna, McGrath and Ophir. They are dependent in summer on the two voy- ages of steamers from Seattle to the mouth of the Kuskok vim river for the most of their mail. There is long period in the spring and fall when water navigation and overland travel is closed entirely to them-
 1 would respectfully suggest that bids be called for for weekly air ser vice to the Kuskok vim valley, begin g.about April 18th and terminating about November 154h, that is, provided you do not think it advisable to estab- fish year-round air mail service. The commercial airplane companies in Alaska are ready to submit bids, and feel that an opportunity should be given them to bid on the service to any point in Alaska which :s inaccessible at any period of the year by either land or water. I believe that all the mail for the Kuskokwim valley could be carried by airplane in the summer sea son. Sincerely yours,
 DAN SUTHERLAND,
 Delegate from Alaska.

INGRAM SATISFIED
 WITH HIS PLAYERS
Thinks Them Young Enough and
 With Plenty of Pep
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Sarasota, Fla, March IT. - John McGraw, veteran manager of the New York Giants, has concluded that the team he will lead into the 1925 pennant race is "a good young club" and that it has plenty of re- serve strength. %f'"
 My team is running to pretty fair shape" said McGraw today. The best thing I can say about it with the most certainty at this time is that it has lots of reserve strength. I have some good looking young sters, but just how good they are l am not yet ready to say.
 My outfield is not working yet. Wilson has q charley horse, Meusel has just reported, George Kellys father died recently and he hasn't turned up yet.
 AS for the new men, I am not prepared at this time to say that I have really outstanding player among them. It is too early. There may be one, of course, but wait month and then III be able to say. Maun and Dean both look better than last year, l believe Kent Green field will make good pitcher, and Frank Walker has done well in the practice games.
 "All the regulars have reported in excellent condition. Jack Bentley is already down to within a few pounds of his proper pitching weight. Wisner, the player I got from Rochester, has a lot of stuff, but he is still little wild.
 we hSSe good ball club. I don't know where we'll finish, but we'll give them a battle down the home stretch of the pennant race"
