"WE WANT AIR MAIL"

MT MeDermond of the Pan-American Arways expressed surprise at. the Chamber of Commerce meeting that there is no airmail service between Seattle and Juneau. Well he might be surprised for, as he said. Alaska needs that sort of service and ought to have it.
 MT. McDermond comes from South America where the United States is supporting airmai serv- ice Cuba, Hayt Porto Rico, the Canal Zone Jamaica, Trinidad and all the Caribbean Sea coun- tries supplied with armail by the United States Why should Alaska that needs it equally as much not have it? The cost of airmail service between Seattle and Southeast Alaska would be a very small matter comparable with that in the Caribbean Sea region
 The circumstance that the Alaska Washington Airways having excellent equipment and personnel second to anywhere, is amply prepared to carry mail summer and winter between Seattle and Southeast Alaska where the company is rendering excellent commercial service makes the failure to award armail contract particularly unfathomabe. If the Alaska " arlington Airways, that has given the people three years of efficient work, given mail contract it would be able to operate planes on regular schedule and be of far greater benefit to the country than it is now.

Farmers say that apple tree brought close to death by borers will blossom, it's last spring. more copiously than when it is in full health, and that old ash nut tree about to give up the ghost will celebrate imminent death with a superb final fruit crop. There is something of the glad sur render in the colors which mark the approaching end of summer
 The godenrod is coming into bloom, and the asters in bud. There is nothing so riotous in the spring colors late summer pasture full of mingled goldenrod and aster And when godenrod blooms, the sumach turns red; and what is shower than roadside full of sumach holding it's flaming torches up to the sun? Sumach blooms greenlyt quietly. when the world is lush in June; its red fruit heralds the end of the season, just the coming of the goldenrod announces browning meadows.

until it can be given all the consideration it deserves, it was pointed out by one official
 At any rate, it is the view of the Forest Service, as expressed by Leon F. Kneipp, high service official, that the protest should be disapproved It is his view that as long as the United States is forced to import newsprint some consideration should be given to a development that the Territory of Alaska has prayed for for years. It is also known that the interest of the Alaskans was matched by that of the Forest Service, which sought for years to interest American capital in the value of exploiting the pulp wood forests along the Southeast Coast of Alaska.
 While Kneipp admitted that considera- ton should be given to the fact that the newsprint industry is suffering from the depression it should not operate to ruin a natural development that means a new deal all around for Southeast Alaska He pointed out also that the Administration, in it's recent appeal for a conservation of timber, made an exceptin of Alaska so that these development projects might be carried on without restraint.
 The officials also show that the timber lands in question should be developed since it is possible for the forest to produce l. 100000 tons of paper annually in perpetua- tion These forests have reached a point of stagnation, according to the officials who charged that this amount of paper is being passed up yearly in favor of importa- tions from Canada and the Scandinavian countries.
 No matter what the final outcome will be, the Forest Service has a feeling that the negotiations should proceed.

On to Alaska.
(Prince Rupert Empire )

The Alaska highway project is gradually taking more definite form. Last week. in Victoria, there was conference of the international committee. Later in the summer, the commission will consider the project whole and make recommendations as to it's feasibility and financing to the Govern ments of Canada, the United States and British Columbia.
 The linking of the United States with Alaska, by means of a motor highway through British Co., lumba, bears the hallmark of statesmanlike vision. and the will to do something in keeping with the vastness of this Northern land, and the greatness of it's resources and possibilities The building of road, such proposed will give work, when work is needed Completed, it will be source of rev. enue, unlock a region that is today unpeopled wilderness and open the way for movement the ultimate result of which in exploration development and settlement, is beyond anyone's conception.
