Wrangell Cut Off From Direct Mail Connection
 With the West Coast

At almost the last minute Walter Waters received a cablegram can ceiling the West Coast Mail con tract which was awarded to him several months ago.
 The West Coast and Chatham Strait routes haev been combined and contract for the same has been awarded to the w. J. Nein Transportation Company.
 According to the new arrange ment effective today WransolI will not be a port of call on the new mail route This effectively shuts Wrangell off from the West Coast for either travel or business except via Ketchikan.
 Wrangell has had direct mail connection with the West Coast for more than fifty years. Wrangell and the West Coast are now more closely than ever allied to each oth- CT in the numbering and fishing in dustry, and the successful operation of these industries requires direct and frequent mail service Hence the elimination of Wrangell from direct mail service to the West Coast means the needless eurtail. ment of a service that is very i'm portant and necessary to both the citizens of Wrangell and those of the West Coast
