previously been in Washington to protest against the award that had been made to the Evan Jones Co.,,
 because of some technicality. His contention was sustained soon after Mir. Louesac appeared and thru attorneys maintained that the department had made an error in eancelling his contract. While the
 matter was being considered by
 ;he office of the Secretary of Inter for. MT. Loussac made trip to Miami. On lis return he was greeted with the information that
 the Department had again consider
 ed the coal contract and decreed that the Evan Jones people were
 really entitled to furnish the fuel. MT Oscar Samuelsen, of Bethel, Alaska. and other residents at small towns along the Yukon river had written Delegate WickerSham m expressing the fear that with the the old methods of delivery by dog team wonld be abandoned. and as
 a result service would not be ren- dered to the small and remote To- ealities, and that road houses and small stores would have 10 be abandoned. The Delegate took the matter up with the Postoffice n-A- partment and after looking into 'he situation Harold N Graves. executive assistant to Postmaster General Brown, wrote I reassuring
 letter to the Delegate in which he states: An advertisement was is sued July l6 for service on the winter routes in Alaska for q three advertisement was similar To those issued in the past and specified no particular means of transportation to be employed. TIc Department received fourteen low bids from
 two firms which il is understood intend to uSe aircraft where prac-
 ticable in carrying the mails. Con tracts were awarded to the lowest bidders rendering sufficient guaran ties for faithful performance. In addition to carrying mail to the jpHstofticeS the contracts provide for the supply of all persons resid- ing al no-oftice points along the routes. At Intermediate points where there are no landing fields it appears that it will be neces sa "
 to continue the use of dog teams 10 serve the patrons. The adve"- tisement was the usual means of
 securing proposals and the award of contracts hereunder involved
 no change in the Departments pol icy in providing service in the ter ritory."
