U. 8. AIR MAUI $ERi'KE.
Postrrra ter..E enrol Will Turn It Over
to Private Contractors,
Mails•( by air seem to have metwith eb taeles in the *United States,
says the Toronto Mail and Empire.
When Postmaster -General New ae-
nouneed additional air routes a year
ago he referred to the service as an
epoch la the history of the.,Aelericeu
Post Office. Bit recently he stated
that the two Government -operated
services, the transcontinental and the
over -night New York -Chicago would
be turned over to private contractors.
The latter f , understood to be the
only air mail service which pays for
the cost of operation, It is not likely
that a contractor could make su1Ti-
cient revenue from maile to cover not
only the costs of operation but also
overhead charges which are not gen-
erally taken into account in a Gov-
ernmeut service.,, In fact the Poste
master-Gteneral admits that no coni-
pany can successfully operate by ccn-
tract unless permitted to carry pas-
sengers and express matter.
La t year no less than four Boards
of inquiry presented reports ozi the
best basis for future aeronautical
development, 13ut the cost of oper-
ation appears high, The 'operatiug
statement of the Uliited States Air
Mail for.1925 shows that a total of
42.743,750 was expended on 2,601,-
555 r ;, Rowe. The success of a
Slf:Al passenger 'service seems
doubie0u,. On the route between New
Yrorlc•: and Chicago both mail planes
and army planes have come to grief
in the stubborn fogs lurking over the
Alleghenies. Transportation of ex-
press matter is more promising, but
the field has not been thoroughly in-
vestigated. The possibilities of the
air, mail service in the United States
have been over-estimated, and in
many respects it has failed to realize
the hopes of its promoters.

Telling the World of Canada's Wonders
Morley Robetts and Sohn itaurray Gibbon, two well-7cnown
authors, whose boobs have gone far to awaken world-wide interest
in the Rocky Mountains of Canada. This Photo was made this
year at the Trail Riders' Pow -wow,• near' Lake )Louise.
Of the countless'thousands of those
who have lifted up their eyes
unto the hills' that are in . British.
Colombia and Alberta, and have
sect' something of the majesty and
the glory that is theirs, many have
goneback
to set drawn in books
what they could of their felines -
slots and as far as their words
could to conjure up visions of Can.
sea's Rockies before the . eyes of
their readers. Thus there exists a
literature of the Canadian Rookies.
It grew slowly and has only of very
recent years begun to assume any
world-wide importance, but as ;theme
has spread a more general recogni-
tion of their place among,.the world's
scenic wonders the numbers of
Writers who have made pilgrimages
to their countless vast shrines has
steadily increased,
if we' exelude tales of pioneers
and explorers who, were the first' to
Wend `their ways through the valleys
and passes that led to the Pacific
Coast" We shall find that one of the
earliest iri' the worlds tot ly iced
*altos to fill under the i SP* Waft
Morley, Roberts, svho in 1884 or 1885
drifted that way in the course of an
almost tramp -like; journey` across
Western America. Since thenthe
world has recognized Morley Roberts
as ,one of its finer craftsmen. At
that time he worked with axe and
shovel on the titanic task of push-
ing steel of the C.P.R. through
the mountains on its way to the
Pacific,
"The Western A.veralus" is 'a book
in which he told the story of his
wanderings alyd something of life in
C.P.R. construction camps. Throw It
his; eyes we cam see the Rockies as
he saw thein when they were new
to Europeans. "Hare is a vast
gorge," he says, "now broad with
sloping bastions of opposing for-
tr'esses on either hand, now narrow
with steepest walls and impendin
rocks 'threatening ,the calmlake
that catch their shadows and receive
their reflections. Even as you look
do they not nod with ossible thund-

jesty of nature, how they are castled
and upheld with arch and bridge,.
and; flying buttress' This is the
aisle of the Great Cathedral of the•
Gods; this is the cave of Aeolus, the
home of the hurricane.; this is the
lofty spot most beloved by the sun-
light, for here come the first of the
day beams and here they linger last
on rosy snow covering the rock
whose mossy base lies in the under
shadow.
It would require much space to
enumerate even the more outstand-
ing books that have the Rocky
Mountains as a background, but
among then the books of Ralph Con-
nor are notable, particularly "The
Patrol of the Sundance Trail," which
is a story stet in the vicinity of
Banff.
The latest addition to Rocky
Mountain literature is a new novel
from the pen of John Murray Gib-
bon and no one better knows the
Canadian Rockies and loves them
more :wholeheartedly. "Eyes of a
Gypsy" is its title, and its best
scenes are laid in the elands where
everlasting' glaciers give place on the
rocky sloes to' straggling forests.
It is a tate of human emotions and
althoughpart of its action takes
piece in New York, it is Canadian in
spirit and its people are mostly the
sort of people whore Canadians will
recognize as to be met with in any
part of this country,

it is the best book Mr. Gibbon tale'
yet produced; it certainly holds the
attention from first to last, and if
one or two of its characters are
amazingly unlike the ordinary run
of people, that makes the book all
the more thrilling. Irl any ease it
