The Air Mail
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

Any air mail route designed to serve Alaska as a whole would necessarily be by way of Southeastern Alaska The proposal to establish route from Mon tana through Canada, thence to the remote interior of Alaska would pass up almost all the centers of Alaskan population.
 Thus the appeal of Governor Troy and others in Juneau is well sounded at this time.
 The only real argument for service via the interior route is that weather favorable the interior route. While this is undoubtedly the case it is pro- babe that the difference is not great to make it necessary to discount coastal Alaska from all consd- eraton Planes the interior route may be grounded just as planes on the coastal route Neither route cold with safety maintain unbroken year-round schedule.
 If Alaska is to be served with air mail Ketchikan and Juneau the two largest cities and as such shouldn't be neglected The First dvision-South- eastern. Alaska-embraces more than third of the total permanent population of the Territory and is most active commercially the year around
 Furthermore, when Southeastern Alaska seeks a place the air mail map it does not argue against the case of the interor-for it would be served well better via the coast and then via the interior Already Pacific Alaska Airways has demonstrated the practicabihty of scheduled air line from Juneau to Fairbanks Intercoastal has maintained envi- able schedule this year between Ketchikan and Ju- neau The regular trips of the Ellis plane between Ketchkan and the west coast and of other air trans ports from Juneau to nearby communities, demon strate practicabty of year around feeder routes
 If there is to be air mail service between the States and Alaska surely Southeastern Alaska must be served

This year she has five, for all those
that were in her q few minutes ago
are her children.
Think what that means It means
that she has had the courage to hold
her own in the merciless struggle to
live which is the lot OF all our little
wild friends. Not only that but she
has successfully raised at least two
families, nine children, and done it
dreadfully handicapped as you have
seen: What is more, If that other
