TO DIR PATRONS

There are quite a number OF our pat
rons who through thoughtlessncss
make the paper boy call at their home
several times on Saturday before set
Ting for their paper. BY this means
it takes the hoy nearly all day to col
lect his route. depriving him OF any
leisure time, and Keeping him out in
the hot sun all day ouch weather as
we are now having. The boys request
that all who cannot be at home when
they call to leave their subscription,
and 1t will be an accommodation to
them. The request is a simple one,
and will no doubt be granted.

Your mistake first occurred when
Portsmouth and Hampton had each
won three and lost six. That evening
Portsmouth defeated Hampton. The
next morning, instead of giving Ports
mouth credit for four won and six
lost and Hampton three won and
seven lost. you gave Portsmouth and
Hampton both credit for four won and
six lost. O. Il. d.

 "In quartz AtIln has a very promising outlook. Several properties that show good prospects have been discovered and new finds are being made right along.
 "A stamp mill Is going In on Dominion. a tributary to Spruce. Seven or eight claims with good showing have been staked there, but do not recall the names of the loeators.
 ''The Yellow Jacket quartz mine Is not to be developed right away. The property Is In litigation. ln the meantime Lord Hamilton will set up his stamps on the Anaeonda group.
 "Some Frenehmen have recently brought to AtlIn from the south end of Atlln Lake. samples of copper and gold that are rich. The rock, they said. assays 20 per cent copper, and Sio In gold.
 "On Mckinley creek, one of the streams we'll back from Atlln Lake, quartz was discovered by an old California miner. The rock appears to be very rich. As yet only one claim Is staked on the creek. The snow Is not off the creek.
 "There Is better feeling In the district this year, and everything promises to run with eveness and smoothness. In the first place the litigation that so hampered the situation last year will not exist thls year. and people are pulling together.
 "lhave had inquiries from Chicago and New York capitalists as to Atlln plaeers, and from Montana men as to copper. They want to know the opportunities of invest ment and the merit of the camp. l told them to come and see. ]"

Expert and Ldnsmsn Also on the way--This City wnl Have the First sslf-swttohing System on the Coast--Pplss Are Up.

The automatic telephone plant which Is to be installed In Sksgwav Is at last on the way here from Baltimore. This 1t the announcement made by Herman Never, who. with Attorney John G. Price. are the chief men In the Arctic Telephone Cons pany, the organization that Is to Install the plant.
 Mr. Meyer further announces that two men to put up the telephone wires and do other preliminary work arc expected to ar> rive today on the City of Seattle, and that an expert, who will install the switch board and the other more intricate part of the system. will soon be here from Baltl- more.
 Telephones" says Mr. Never laeonle- ally, "are likely to be pretty cheap in Skagwav for while"
 By this Is meant that rate war Is lm- mlnent. At least the new company Is de> termlned to get share of the public pats ronage.
 Just what we shall make the rates on the start," says Mr. Meyer, "l am not pre- pared to say, but we shall make our way Into the field.
 lowing to the big demand for the au- tomatlc telephones, we have been unable to sooner get our order. but now that 1t Is on the way we are determined to do all in our power to install the system. twill probably be ready for use In few weeks.
 "The telephones are from the American Automatic Telephone Company, of Wash ngton, D. C., and we buy through the Pacific Automatic Telephone Company. with headquarters at Seattle, which has the control of this field.
 "Skagway will have the honor of the first automatic telephone system on the Pacific coast. A system Is being Installed In Seattle and one in San Francisco, but ours will be ready for use first. The Seat- tie agent advises the phones should now be on the way to us.
 "The exchange which we are to put In will have capacity of 400 subscribers. It will have the advantage over the old style phone now In use In Skagway and many other places on the coast of belGg Instant in service, absolutely secret. and of being at command day and night at any moment.
 "The person using the telephone will not have to call up central. but will simply make a simple adjustment on the dial of phone before him, and thereby make hls own connections. There will be no walt ing for central to get the gum out of her mouth or to rub her sleepy eyes. Central will not be there, she will be at some other vocation. and one electrical expert will look after the automatic switchboard and take care of the system about the town.
 "Miss Central will also be shut off from all :he gossip and business secrets of the town, and her ears will have to seek other melodies and chimes. The man with an important message to convey will be able to transmit 1t without fear of 1t being fil- tered through alien ears, as Is almost In variably done in every instance on the coast and the world oyer where the old style central system Is In vogue.
 "Poles for our system were put up In Sksgway months ago, and some of the wire Is already up. The other wire need cd Is in the city,"
