vember. Most of this ice melus along
get away, thus dropping all the ma
terlal it carries. In this way the for
eign rocks, previously referred to, have
been furnished from other places.
The effect of this vast amount of ma
terial being deposited along the coast
is apparent to the most casual OBJ
server. The water is shallow for miles
out and bars and islands are numer-
Gus. AT the mouths of all rivers are
vast mud flats. Sandspits are rapidly
enclosing series of lagoons, which in
time become small fresh water lakes,
and as the sandspits are again extended
they are, in their turn, filled up by the
glacial action of the Undiscovered tun-
dta. Thus the already vast plains
which lie along the Arctic ocean east
ward from Point Barrow are steadily
spreading, and thus the whole north
coast of Alaska is gradually creeping
toward the pole.
Climate.
Contrary to my expectation, the cold
on the north coast is not extreme. At
Camden bay the thermometer did not
fall below 40 deg. FAIR, and at win
ter quarters, 1923, below so deg.
Fahr. The wind. however, is a more
serious feature and often dangerous
menace to winter travel. From Oc-
tober to April, inclusive, there were
"a days of heavy billiards. mostly from
the northeast, the wind often attaining
a velocity of GO miles per hour. The
rise OF wind is often very sudden, and
it frequently continues from two to
three days. During the balance of the
winter strong winds prevailed 63 days
and calm weather % days. As Il gen
eral rule the heavy billiards are ac-
companied by considerable rise in
temperature. S. j. MARSH.

the letters are not stamped. If the
letter has stamp on it, the law, | be-
lieve, states that it must be deposited
in the nearest pOStotfice. aud cannot be
carried past. There is no law that
compels letters to be sent through the

express companies would not be allowed

of the world.

to go to work in order to bring about a
game of baseball with a picked team
from Nome? We are willing to come
to Nome and have a nine which we be-
lieve can defeat any team Nome can

to do is to arrange two games, the first
to be played in Nome and return game

would write to w. j. r. Mccarthy,

cost of the United States capitol build
