WI.ANGELL GETS WEST
 COAST MAIL CONTRACT

The most welcome news received in Wrangell this week was the an- nouneement that mail for the west coast of Prince of Wales Island will again be routed out of Wrangell in- stead of Ketchikan.
 Walter c. Waters on Tuesday re- eelved notification from the Act ing Second Assistant Postmaster General informing him that his proposal for earring the mail for Route No 78O7s for the next four years had been accepted.
 Beginning July 1 the mail boat out of Wrangell will make the round trip to sulzer once a week, calling at the following interme- diate points. shakan. Tokeen, Kla- woek. Craig. Hydaburg.
 One way calls once a month will be made at the following interme- diate points which are without Do st offices: St. Johns Harbor. Olympic Mine, Lung Island, Level Island, Reyburn Island. Strait Is land. Sumner Island.
 The experiment of routing mail out of Ketehikan for the past four years has been sufficient to convince the government that an efficient mail service to the West Coast can be rendered much more economical. ly out of Wrangell
 Wrangell as a post office terminal is strategieally located All the regular line mail steamers make Wrangell a port of call The route out of Wrangell is all through pro- tected waters, there being no rough waters such as around cape Ghaeon Tie distance is far shorter than the around the island" route and the service can be rendered more eco nomieally.
 The service that has been in force for the past four years is duplicated between Ketchikan and Wrangen and is operated at a loss to the gov ernment as these ports are already served by the regular line steamers On both ends of the present route there is a needless run of approxi- mately one hundred miles which the government pays for It is there fore no wonder that the govern ment has recognized the wisdom of making a change from the present system and again granting a con- tract for the routing of mail out Of Wrangell.

ing the court, the Senate specifisd
that the other member. nations must
accept the American reservations by
an exchange Of diplomatic notes, and
the president himself believes that
methed Of acceptance fulflls all the

One of the avowed purposes Of the
reservations was to distinguish sharp
ly between membership in the court
and involvement in the league. In any
case the reservations are fixed quanti-
ties, and even Il the president sent q
representative to conference called
by the league he would have no au-
thority to add or subtract from what
the Senate has done. No one realizes
more fully than Mr.: Coolidge the diff

The president is not ready to
speak finally on the subject as .
