The actual time |by air from the capital of Alaska to Denver, however, is only forty- four hours, counting a stopover in Seattle. Owing to storms which kept mail planes down over part of the | route, the letter was carried some distance by train. “Regardless of this interrupted passage, however, the communica- tion from Juneau arrived on the same delivery with a letter mailed on the same date at Hood River, | Cre., to Mr. Hoggatt by Ed Sunday, | brother of the famous evangelist. ‘ When I was in Alaska in the days of the gold rush,’ said Mr. Hoggatt, ‘we were lucky if we re- ceived a letter in thirty days to six weeks. Now I am able to hear from my old friends up there in less than two days. change in a few years. “‘I am posting this by air mail | over the new Juneau-to-Seattle air route,” wrote Mr. Sullivan, ‘and we would like 'you to tell us just how many hours it takes for it to reach Denver from Juneau.’ “Postmarks on the envelopes show that the letter left Juneau at 4 a.m. Sunday, arriving at Seattle just nineteen hours later, as shown by the postmark of the Seattle office. It would regularly leave Seattle by plane early the next morning, which was Monday, April 22, and | the schedules now existing, if fol- lowed, would bring it into Denver Tuesday momlmr." e — )AP.RIVES TO SERVE SENTENCE Gust Gustafson, who was sen- $500 for alleged violation of the Alaska Bone Dry Law, by U. 8 arrived from there last night in 'the custody of Deputy U.
