Dogs Transport Mail.

This service is operated over a new and
prevails for eight months each year, and
yet the mails arrive and depart with cred
liable regularity in spite of bad trails low
temperature and frequent billiards. The
winter transportation is performed almost
entirely by the trusty dogs but much
credit for the efficiency of the service is due
to those faithful heroes of the trails-the
Alaska mail carriers who are ever defying
the froWns of the savage storm king of the
north.
In 1898 Dawson was the Mecca of many
OF the gold seekers although during that
year quite number of prospectors went
to Valdez and Cooks Inlet. on the South
Alaskan coast. and worked their way
through the copper country to the head
waters of the Tanana. In 1900 thousands
landed on the north Bearing Sea coast at
Nome, and thus began the development of
the Seward Peninsula section. little over
two years ago rich discoveries of gold were
made in the Tanana valley. about 800 miles
above the confluence of the Tanana with
the Yukon. Over 1000 people remained In
that vicinity last winter and today Fair
banks is doubtless the most popuIous and
promising mining camp in Alaska
1t Is remarkable how quickly a smart
little city can be established in what to
the popular mind, is regarded as the
frozen north The Post Office Depart
ment has endeayored to keep pace with the
developments in Alaska and TO follow the
hardy miner promptly with reasonable mail
facilities wherever gold is discovered and
a camp established, and has spared neither
effort nor expense in the accomplishment of
this purpose

Cheaper Telegraph Tolls.

Zone other matter which has already been
presented to the department and which ]
hope will receive consideration this winter
is plan for cheaper Geographic communi-
cation with Alaska, or what might be
termed a mail-telegraph service. The gov
eminent owns the cables, overland lines and
wireless systems operated to all points be-
tween Seattle, Wash, and Nome. Alaska.
It would seem entirely practicable for Con-
gress to authorize the use of this telegraph
system in direct connection with the mail
service.
ITO illustrate the plan, let me say that
to send letter from Washington, d. c.,
to Nome, Alaska, and receive reply over
the winter trail requires from four and a
half to five months. Now, IL Congress
would authorize the use of the govern
ments wires-and wireless-for the trans
mission of short letters, such communica-
lions could be sent from Washington to
Nome and a reply received within ten days
at any time during the year.
at is proposed that the government shall
issue what may be termed telegraph
stamps I am not prepared to suggest
what the rates should be. but suppose the
stamps were of two observation-disclosures for
Is cents and one for 30 cents. The smaller
stamp would cover the Geographic charges
on q letter not exceeding % words, and the
larger stamp would perform a like service
for letters of more than twenty-five and
less than fifty words.
THE letter would be written In the same
form as an ordinary telegram and then in
closed in an envelope addressed to the man
ager of the government telegraph station
at Seattle, Wash. Besides the regular 2
cent postage stamp there would be affixed
to the envelope a 25-cent or 50-cent tele-
graph stamp, according to the number of
words contained in the letter. From Seat
tie the letter would be forwarded by wire to
the office in Alaska nearest the residence OF
the addressee. There 1t would be inclosed in
a penalty envelope for delivery to addressee
by mail, provided the addressee did not re-
side within the delivery Of the local tele-
graph Office. These telegraphic letters
would be sent from points in Alaska in the
same manner and at the same rates and
would be forwarded to addresses from
Seattle in penalty envelopes. When such
letters were filed directly in a government
telegraph Office the telegraph stamp could
be affixed to the letter itself.
sit Is possible that the present cable serv-
ice would not be adequate for the satisfac-
tory operation of the plan here suggested
but there would seem TO be no reason why
dertaken at once from Valdez to all in
terror Alaskan points-and the mails can be
conveyed from Seattle to Valdez In about
four days at all seasons of the year. The
additional cost to the government would
not mean more than the pay of a dozen or
fifteen additional operators. and this cost
would be much more than Offset by the adj
ditional revenues, while the facilities thus
afforded for prompt communication with
Alaska at reasonable rates would be OF the
greatest importance to the residents of that
territory. as well as to the thousands who
have friends or investments there"

Februnry Legends.

Why February has twenty-eight days
is explained in the legends Of the past.
One is Of an old woman, who, tending
her flock, rldiculed the month Of Feb
ruary because he had dealt so lenient-
ly with her and her sheep. Then Febru-
airy felt insulted and made leap year
and borrowed Il cold day from March
and froze her and her flock. There is a
Norman legend which makes 1t out
that February had originally as many
days as the other months, but Februa-
~ was n confirmed gambler and lost
at domino a day both to January and
to March. Strange to say, thore is an
old story of Egypt, wherein the god Of
February plays forfeits with the moon
and loses certain days.

More than 400 years old Is the Royal
College of Surgeons, Edinburgh. At
the time 1t was founded the surgeons
and BARRIERS of the city were united
as one of the fourteen Incorporated
trades Of Edinburgh. On July /, 1905,
they received their charter from the
town council. The charter of the bar
Der surgeons was co1flrmed by James
", an early Stuart king Of great en-
~lightenmcnt and accomplishment, who
took much interest in the progress Of
the surgeons on account Of the needs
Of his army m time of war.
In the charter leave was given to the
Incorporation to control the medical
education OF the city, such as it was
in those days: OF bloodlcttiny, 10 have

members of the incorporation six were
surgeons to the kings OF Scotland.
AS society improved and medical sci
ence developed the gulf between the
surgeons ana barbcrs widened. and in
1872, as the result of a process in the
court Of session, the connection was
finally terminated. The deacon, or
president, Of the incorporation of sur.
yeons was for more than 800 years q
member Of the town council of Edin-
burgh, ex oncio, and several Of the
deacons were members of the Scottish
parliament.
