mon river. The Salmons, Hootalin-
ouas and Teslins and some of the La

head of Teslin lake were in attendance.
The White Horse Star says that big

DR.. Carroll Fox, of the marine hospi-
tai station at Portland, Ore, who is at

G. A., to whom the inquiry has been
addressed.

The steamer Lakme, which arrived
at Seattle few days ago from the far
North, reports Bering Sea filled with
ice and that the flow has reached a
point further South than has been
known for a number of years. 1t is
doubtful if steamers force their way to
Nome this year earlier than the middle
of July.
Some idea of the winter service on
the whole given by the W. P. & Y. may
be gathered from the fact that it main
tanned between White Horse and Daw-
son II mail road houses, 80 stage and
mail teams and 10 or II freight teams
A number of dog teams were used for a
short time at the beginning and close
of the season when the ice was not
strong enough to hold horse teams.

UNDERTAKES
A BIG JOB.
Government Proposes to Furnish Farmers
With a Daily Weather Report.
Rural Mail Routes to be the Medium

More benefit is to be derived by
the Northwestern farmers through
the rural free delivery system. A
monstrous Job is being contemplated
by the postoffice and weather bureau
departments in the matter Of furnish
ing all farmers in districts, where the
rural free delivery Of mail has been
established, with daily weather fore
casts.
This does not mean that the agri-
culturists will get their forecasts two
or three days after the day indicated,
tut arrangements are to be made so
that they will be in receipt of them
before noon on the day previous.
Under the plans enacted at present
the farming people will get their
forecasts for the next "a hours the
same time with the daily mail, and
almost under the same conditions
that it is furnished in cities where
weather stations have been establish
ed.
At points where the rural free de-
livery carrier does not leave too early
in the morning, the weather forecast
will be received by telegraph by the
postmaster from the distributing
weai her bureau in Chicago.
The postmaster, upon receipt of the
forecast for his division, proceeds to
stamp the cards as indicated and in
time TO include them in the regular
mail. The carrier then leaves fore
cast card in every free delivery box
on his route.
BY cooperation of the two depart
ments in this manner, it is expected
in short time TO furnish nearly
every thickly settled part Of Wiscon-
sin and other states where the deliv-
cry system has been perfected, with
dairy weather forecasts, which in the
summer and fall seasons will be of
inestimabe value to the rural popu-
lation.
