CONVINCING ADVERTISERS

A simple and conclusive way o' changing SD advertisers mind WIS late ly employed, according to ,ha Sp-c'a- tor of Portland, Ore, by a daily news paper iu that city A man who man aged the advertising for a real estate enterprise, being solicited for an order replied: 'I do not think advertising in he would do any good, for ,he people who read that paper are not re- estate buyers"
 The solicitor m ght have talked until sunrise the next morning wi,bou. changing the advertisers opinion, so different tactics were rssorted to. The newspaper prin'e ed an editorial worning readers not to buy property in mush- room residence sections laid out at the base of Mount Hooi,
 It was suggested that while street cars have been started running to the new "ci.i,s" the tracks would be taken up as soon as all rhe lots were sold, and ,bs unfortunate purchasers would have 10 walk. This worried the real estate man, naturally, His competitors took the matter up, quoted the editorial in their advertisements and emphasized the fact that their properties were not at the base of Mount Hood and had a

THE FACTS

Notwithstanding the fact that the steamer Dolphin reached Skagway at o'clock Tuesday morning her mail was not put on the train which lief, that placs at 9:3O o'clock, oIgh. and half hours later. Even the Skagway mail did not come over on Tuesday.
 Such neglect on the part of somebody is noshing short of criminal negligence and the guilty party or parties should be brought up with a short turn.
 The Star is taking steps to find Ou. a, skagway whose business it is to trans fer the mail from the wharf to che train; also to find out why such Degli- gence is practical at that pIace.-The Whitehorse Star.
 Upon 8 requ,s, from the people oI Whltehorse The Alaskan investigated the above. It found that on the day of the arrival of the Dolphin the mail was delivered by the Postoaice officials iu time to eaten the train. The transfer driver go. to the depO, TEN SECONDS late. The head of the transfer com pauy was talking with the Superiolend- ent of the railroad company, asking him Co hold the train TWENTY SEC ONDS after the scheduled time of Ieav- lng-the train had not yet gotten up i,s Broadway speed-and the Super.uteua- snt refused 10 hold the train the TWEEN TY SECONDS necessary to have the mail get over 60 Whi,ehorse. The Transfer company was not to blame,
 In this connection it should be re- membered that there is sweeping lro- vlsO iu the rules governing the hauliog Of United States mail, which makes il, compulsory if the mail is on the depot grounds, sheds or plaliorm-no matter iI the platform is a mile loug-,o hold the train until the mail is taken on board, This applies ,o fast and over land trains, and also covers similar COZ d.tions of ike occur, ,eucs On litt'e roads in AlaSka.
