MAIL SERVICE AGREEMENT
Semimonthly Trips to the
Klondike Region.
AGREE TO EXCHANGE OF MAILS
CaDada's Proposition Formally Accept.
cd by Acting Postmaster General on
Behalf the United states.

hDeuhif DHittu othtths a
Washington, Aug. 23.-The Cana
dian and the United States govern
Nlnents have agreed to cooperate IN aug
Imenting the postal facilities Of the
Klondike region, and the result will
shortly be evidenced in a Substantial
doubling OF the mail service from the
coast into that district. Canada made
a proposition for exchange of mails at
Circle City and Dawson City, agreeing
to perform the service from Dawson
City 10 Dyea by means Of a contract Of
her own, with reimbursement to be
made by this government for it's share
Of the service.
This differs from this 'country's prop
osition in that under the latter the
United States was to let the contract
and look to Canada for reimbursement
for the latter's share. The coanter
scheme, however, is satisfactory to the
postoffice department here.
The Canadian service provides for
the exchange of mails at Fort Cudahy
and two other stations between Daw-
ron City and Dyea. The exact route is
not out .ined, but in all probability it
will strike of directly southwark from
Dawson City, which is on the British
side OF the line, down to Dyea. At
present, the district gets the benefit Of
mails once month. The new arrange
ment will furnish an additional SER
vice, giving semi-monthly mails, the
trips probably being sandwiched be-
tween the dates designated in the pres
ent contract of the United States.
Canada's proposition for carrying
the mails one round trip a month be-
tween Dawson City and Dyea was for
mally accepted this afternoon by Act
ing Postmaster-General Shallenberger,
and the Canadian government notified
of the action. In the communication,
this government is stated to be ready
to assume its share of the responsible
| ity, and Canada is urged to put the
service into operation at the earliest
4 possible moment. Dyea, which is 100
miles above Juneau, on Lynn canal,
and Dawson City will be declared inter-
national postal exchange Offices. The
British mails will be carried by the
/ United States from Victoria to Dyea.
The service will bring about the crea-
tion of postoffice at Dawson City, and
also at Fort Cudahy, Forty Mile, and
probably at other points, although
these mentioned are beyond Dawson
City. The service will be under the
immediate supervision of the Canadian
mounted police, and the carriers will
be equipped with dogs and sledges. and
will have Indian drivers The first
contract will be at least one year.
Wherever the British mails can be ex.
pedited by carrying them over the
present Circle City route between tins
dates OF the new service this will bt
done.
Last April an order was issued by
the postoffice department discontinuint
the steamboat mail service from Seattle
TO juneau, beginning April 13. Thi
order has now been modified to reaC
"omit service from that date to th'
3lst of this month, when the perform
ance OF the service is to be resumed.

Disputed Diamonds

SACRAMENTO, August 4.-Several
years ago H. Washaorst, jeweler of
this city, was robbed of some $4,000 worth
of diamonds. The crime was traced to
one Horace Black, who was arrested and
released on bail. A large number of
the stolen gems were recovered from
Ned Foster of San Francisco, who had
obtained them from Black. When the
day of trial came Black was not on
hand. as as several of the gems were
identified by their owner the court or
dered them all turned over to him.
Now comes Blacks attorney, who de-
mands Of District Attorney Ryan two of
the stones, which he says were Fosters
own property taken from their settings
and put in with the others for the pur
pose of seeing whether or not any one
would swear they were his property,
and then by proving otherwise, break
down his testimony. District Attorney
Ryan says the whole matter is outlawed,
and has written Blacks counsel, now
Judge Carroll Cook, that the demand
for the two diamonds should have been
made at the time the court disposed of
