AIR MAIL "COMPh0AuSE =
 FOR CANADA
LLuueau LmDITeI

It Is being called tne Alaska air mall plan, but as the controversy continues IL begins to look more anu more as il 1t should be referred 10 as the Canada air maII scaeme. Sure Iy, Alaska is being given only sec Ona consideration In tue proposals emanaung from the south.
 tIrst there Is the Great Falls-Ed- monton, WhItehorse Idea, tostered, of course, by Chambers ot Commerce in some oI the Rocky Mountain states and Canada. When Alaska delivered a firm NO to this scheme, supported by Pacluc Coast cities, aueouYer popped out with what 1t calls a compromise proposal. This latter scueme would dispatch the air mall via Vancouver, Prince George and Nhitenorse, Southeast AIasAa being served through Atlin, whicn amounts to another Canadian alr mail service.
 Why not get back to the original plan oI an Alaska air mall route? There can be only one all-Alaska route ana that is the route which Will come directly to the Territory and serve AIaskans. That line can logically come but one way-from Seattle through Southeast Alaska, thence to the Westward and Inter ior, commonly known as the coastal route.
 Of course, there can be no ob- lection on the part of Alaska or the Postottice Department to Canada es- tablishing all the air mail routes she pIeases. They probably would be a fine thing-for the Canadian 2eo- pie. But Alaskas problem is air mall for Alaska, not Canada. Why should the people of this Territory be in terested in what is referred to aS a compromise Canadian line!
 Acting Coy. E. ". Griffin sun- med the situation up in able fashion Saturday when he said;
 Alaska faYors an all coastal route for air mall with a hookup with e2- isting routes. We certainly do not favor a back door entrance such as this proposal Vancouver, Prince George, Whitehorsey suggests, nor the Edmonton route which amounts to the same thing. We want front door entrance and real service 10 Alaska which means an all coastal route touching all our Southeast Alaska cities and continuing on to the Interior and Westward points.
 AS the Acting Chief Executive says, after all, it is air mail service to Alaska in which we are inter ested-not Canadian service which would give us some sort of a back door deliYery-maybe.

THE MAP MAKERS
(Ketchikan Chronicle)

The Petersburg Press explored the fact recently that an outside firm published a map of Alaska which did not name Petersburg. Well can we sympathize with Petersburg. Hundreds of maps in use today in textbooks and elsewhere show Alas ka, well enough, with Nome and Sitka and generally Juneau-but so often they have offended the sen- abilities of loyal Ketchikan cit'- zens by ignorng the existence of this community altogether!
 So now, while we fully sympa- thize with Petersburg, we are glad Ketchikan has a fellow sufferer with which to exchange complaints.
 One thing is certain; both Keteh-

ikan and Petersburg are very much alive: so the offense of the map makers is nothing much more thaa an insult to our dignity which can be lived down by living up to our reputation for aggressiveness.
 Meanwhile, Petersburg might try what Ketchikan tried a few years back: write to some of the leading map publishers to inform them thas no map of Alaska is up to date un- less it gives bold face recognition to Petersburg.

since lost and thus the information in them is being made available by pr Lavrischeff's translation of tEe most valuable of them.
 one of the most recently estab- lished federal services is that of the National Archives, which acquired this summer the records of the Rus sian American Company by transfer from the archives of the Department of State. Very few of these records have been translated correctly. therefore that work is included in the program of the project Dr. Lay rischeff made a brief general sum mary of their contents for the Use of the National Archives staff.
 Letters From Klondike
 Mir. Reid has worked with various collections of papers of statesmen who were concerned with the se4l Fisheries and Boundary disputes. At present he is working the Interior where there is a wealth of papers concerning the many Alaskan actiy- ities of that department.
 Visiting the various federal de- partments in search of imprinted Alaska material was tedious work at times but fruitful of results. The War, Interior, Commerce and Treas ury Departments had the most to offer The Coast Guard-Revenue Cutter Service of the Treasury De partment has many files of papers the subjects of which run all the way from the logs of cruisers i'll AL askan waters to songs composed by enlisted men.
 Sitka Correspondence
 The War Department made avail able records of the early days at Sitka, papers and correspondence concerning early exploration of the interior. files of the Signal Corps and the Road Commission, and ota-. CT material of various other mat ters. In one building there were found typed descriptions of various military posts established from the time of the gold rushes to the end of the World War. These have not been printed. Colonel Hugh c. Smith of the Judge Advocate Generals had been associated with former Gov ernor Parks in a survey of AlasKa resources around 1910. He gladly furnished information as to other sources of Alaska material.
 The above are examples of theI profusion of imprinted or rare print ed official papers on Alaska.
 Needless to say, Professor Robe. is well pleased with their abund- ance and availability.
The Wrangell sentinel., 1937-10-22

The work 0f the Alaska History Research Project Is progressing very satisfactorily, according to the re- port of the project director, Profes- sor Robe, states the Farthest North Collegian, published by the Chi yersity o1 Alaska at Fairbanks. The day after commencement Professor Robe departed by plane for Juneau whence he proceeded by ship and train to Washington, D. C., where since September 1, 1886 the work of the project has been carried on in that city by the staff composed of Mr. Warren R. Reid, Dr. T. l. Lavriseheff and Miss Hilja Reinik- ka. The director spent the summer in examining the results of the work done and in preparing for that of the coming year Also he made a survey of the imprinted AL aska materials in the various feo- eral departments.
 Russian Church Records
 EXamlnauon oI the records of che Alaska Consistory of the Russian Orthodox Church in the Library of Congress brought to light many m teresting facts. This collection, cov- ering the later decades of the Rus sian period and the first of the A4l-I erican period, is now being used for the first time. The thousands Of sheets, shelved in over seven nun dred boxes, had to be classified and lf. ln 1ha a D.. red edges, indicating that they were being burned by some one ig nOrant of their value. Before the collection was brought from New York it had been stored in a base ment which became flooded. The result was that some documents were rendered useless while the pages of others were stuck together so badly as to require special treat ment to make them usable. F0t-I tunately only a small fraction of them were damaged beyond restor- ation. Nearly all of these documents are written by hand, many of the by Bishops Innocent CVeniaminoy), John and Nestor.
 Social Status Changes
 For every church and chapel In| Alaska and a considerable number in Siberia there are records of births christenings, marriages, and deaths, useful in indicating the social rank and occupation of many Russians, creoles and natives as well as Che part they took in community lie. It is interesting to note that after Alaska became a possession of tleI United States the differences in sol sial status became less distinct. AL so this data affords us information as to the ages al time of marriage, and the prevalence of disease aud of infant mortality Even the bare confession records are useful in that they reveal that some did not att tend church for as long as two years at a time because they had been sent away by the Russian An erican Company on fur-hunting eX- petitions in remote places. The fluc- tuation of the population of various districts is reflected n the church records.
 Yudin Collection
 Dr. Lavrischeff is using also the Yudfn collection, a large part of which consists of rare pamphlets and magazines not found elsewhere in this country and some of which no longer exist even in Russia.
