WEBER FINDS 7 FLY FISHING
 OF HIS LIFE
Tackle Manufacturer and His Daughter Knock
 Rainbows Over

O. L. Weber, of Stevens Point, Wis, the largest fishing tackle manufacturer in the world, came to Alaska early this month with his family to sec if this Russian River and Newhalem River rainbow fish ing is all it is cracked up to be"
 Today in his room in the Gastin- eau Hotel, Weber pulled black curved step pipe from his teeth and said, T never saw anything like it in my life, and Weber and his daughter Helen, perhaps the lead ing woman 'piscatorial artist in the country, have fished for just about everything that swiins.
 we fished three days on the Newhalem and three days on the Russian River" Weber said. We caught fish steadily, dozens of them over 20 inches, and got them for the most part on Alaska Mary Ann"
 Weber developed the Alaska Mary Ann and finds the fly simply has something" He and his daughter are understood to have been the first persons to take trout from the deep running Newhalem with flies Moreover, they caught Dolly Var den, lake trout and silver salmon OH flies.
 Highlight of the trip was not the 30-inch and 30la inch rainbows Weber and his daughter took to net, but big fresh run silver sal mon that took the fly in the New halem River on the acrobatic end of Helens line.
 The big salmon "kerwholloped'' down on a drifting fly and before the battle was over, Helen had been forced to go several hundred feet downstream, following her fish. The fish took out pretty near all of her 600 feet of line on the reel and Weber had to take boat and trace the line with his hand to find where the hooked brute was lying in the rifles.
 Contemplating several days in the Juneau vicinity, fishing cutthroats and whatever the Juneau area has to offer in the way of fishing, Weber commented, Those big fellows to the Westward have sort of spoiled me for smaller fish,

transit time for mail between Ju- neau and Fairbanks from five days to four and a half hours. I think you will agree with me that this service will provide tremendous impetus to the development of the interior of Alaska.
 Old Vs. New
 The new service, which runs north through Chilkoot pass from Juneau, is in sharp contrast with the prospecting days of '98 Then thousands of adventurous men and women seeking gold in the distant Klondike perished in desperate but futile attempts to battle their way through the towering mountains in blizzards, ice and sub-zero tempera- lures to the Yukon River which lay beyond the treacherous range
 While this new Juneau-Fair- banks air mail service is the first contract air mail route to be es- abolished in Alaska, the fact that Alaska has for the past several yeal s been linked together by network of air mail routes should not be overlooked. These latter routes, while supplying genuine, high-speed air mail service to the key points throughout the Territory in all sea- sons of the year, were of a star
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-07-18

stantly utilize this service to receive merchandise and goods from the United States and to ship their own products out of the Territory.
 gro afford the residents of AL aska the benefits of the postal sav- ings system, twelve post offices have been designated as postal savings depositaries and I was interested to learn before leaving Washing ton that the average balance to the credit of depositors in Alaska is fifty percent greater than in con- tinental United States. Approxi- mately one million dollars is held for Alaskans in our postal savings.
 Alaskan Stamp
 The special Alaskan stamp, is- sued in the Territorial series of 1897. directed much attention to Alaska It is of the three-cent varie- ty, and stamps of this denomination are the most extensively used. Up to June 30 of this year more than sixty-eight million of these special Alaskan stamps have been issued, and they are on sale at all post offices in the continental United States.
 Having attempted to give you some insight into the scope and type of postal service that is main- tained at the present time in AL aska, I wish to mention briefly a development of our Alaskan mail service which is to come in the near future.
 T have reference to the proposed | new air mail route which will link | Alaska with our great American | seaport and trade center of the Pacific Northwest, the city of Se- attle. Funds for placing in opera ton such service have already been made available by Congress, and | it is my intention that this new air mail service be placed in opera ton as soon as possible. Details of this proposed service are now under investigation at the Post Office De- paftment in Washington, and l want the people of Alaska to know that this new service which would bring continental United States within few hours of Alaska, will be instituted just as soon as pos sibie.
 Tn conclusion, I would like tol leave one thought with you. When ever you enter this building, when ever your eye falls upon it's attrac- tive exterior, let it be reminder to you of the power and dignity Of the United States and of the de- termination of the Post Office De- partment to serve your every need, not only here in Ketchikan put throughout Alaska. I congratulate the citizens of this city upon this new Federal building, and I hope it will always be a source of gratifi- cation and civic pride"

route nature. The operators em- ployed the airplane in place of the old dogteam which formerly was the chief method employed in the car riage of the mails throughout AL aska. With the advent of air mail service in Alaska during recent years, the dogsled is gradually dis appearing, although today there are several dogteam routes ill opera tion in the extreme northern and interior Alaska. The total length ot the routes over which airplane mail service is now being operated in Alaska is three thousand, six hun- dred and eighty-fiVe miles. During the fiscal year 1887 total of one hundred forty-seyen thousand, six hundred and twelve miles were flown in the Alaskan air mail serv- ice, and the total mail poundage carried on these routes amounted to more than two hundred and twelve thousand pounds.
 Alaska Postal Service
 That the Post Office Depart ment is doing its utmost to improve and expand the mail service in AL aska is best evidenced when we consider that during the fiscal year 1897 there was expended for the maintenance of the postal service in Alaska more than seven hundred and ninety-fiye thousand dollars, as against gross postal receipts throughout the entire Territory of approximately two hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars.
 At the close of the last fiscal year there were one hundred and ninety-nine post offices in Alaska, and some sixty star routes Recent ly, the Post Office Department au- thorized service by airplane on thirty-two of these routes The total mileage of the Alaskan star routes, including those served by airplane, and other means of trans portation, such as dog team. horses and automobiles amounts to five thousand. eig ht hundred and seventy-two miles.
 Receipts Mount
 "As for postal revenues in A. aska, it, is, interesting to note that the gross postal receipts through out the Territory have been mount ing steadily for several years, and the figures which, I had available before leaving Washington for the first eleven months of the fiscal year 19383 revealed a substantial in crease over the same period a year ago. For example, total revenues in Alaska in 1897 amounted to two hundred and eighteen thousand dol- lars, while for. the first eleven months of the fiscal year 1898 they total more than two hundred and thirty-six thousand dollars, with every prospect of proportionate increase for June.
 Here in Ketchikan. postal re- ceipts for the year 1937 reached an all-time high of $30,702. giving this office rank as the second largest post office in Alaska. This figure is in striking contrast with postal receipts of but $4,S88 in 1910 and offers convincing evidence of the progressive nature of this city and it's citizens, for there is no more accurate barometer of commun- ity's growth than its postal receipts
 Gold, Furs In Mail
 During 1887 there were approxi- mately forty thousand registered and insured articles handled in the , post offices of Alaska. A large per- centage of these articles contained gold and furs that were being shipped out of Alaska to the Unit ed States. The parcel post service has proved extremely popular with the residents of Alaska who con-
