Mail Service
 to be Increased

Mir. c. R. Corbusier, superintendent of the N. C. mail contractors, who is in the city on visit this week states that the service this year will be better than ever before afforded this district The limit on mail to be carried from Fairbanks will be increased to 1900 pounds week on December l, which should prove large enough to carry all the mail this side of the upper city.
 Last year it was found necessary to bring most of the second class matter into the interior with freight teams, as the weight limit was so small that it was found impossible to carry very little mail other than first class. The increased weight allowed by the gov. ernment should render such action un- necessary this year. MT. Corbusier says, however, that since his connec- tion with the mail service in Alaska. which began in 1899, he has never seen the time when the contractors were not forced to carry the limit, no mat ter how often it was increased. It seems that as soon as more weight is allowed, the people immediately take advantage of the privilege and order more magazines and newspapers from the outside, the result being that there is soon an accommodation at Valdez again.
 Mir. Corbusier also stated that there is possibility that some sort of mail service will be given the Innoko dis trict this winter from either Kaltag or Nulato, but if this is the case the mat ter will be in the hands of the chief clerk at Nome. Up to the present time he had not heard what steps had been taken in the matter.
 Mir. Corbusier is member of the party of visitors from Tanana and will return to that city on the stage Mon- day morning.

JUST IN TIME

The new photograph gallery of
William Hilker at 46 New Brunswick
avenue came very near being de-
stroyed by fire this morning, as was
his former place at New Brunswick
avenue and Jefferson street q few
months ago. A large ruby lamp and
about a quart Of kerosene were afire
shortly after 10 O'Clock this morn
ing in the dark room at the rear Of
the place. Had it not been for
the timely assistance rendered Mr.
Hilker by Richard Calvin and an
EVENING NEWS representative, the
yellow pine structure would soon
have been enveloped In flames. Mr.
Hiyker seized a bath Of toning solu-
ton and threw 1t over the flames,
while the NEWS man secured a piece
of carpet and smothered the fire.
The lamp was ruined. 1t was of the
same make that exploded in his for
mer gallery which burned to the
ground. Mr.. Hilker asserts that he
will purchase no more kerosene ruby
lamps, but hereafter will use cleo
tricity.
The blaze was discovered by Mr..
Hilker as he was conversing with Mr..
Calvin In the front part of the stu
dio. A snap of the glass was heard
and Mr.. Hilker, followed by Mr. Gal
vim and a NEWS man, ran to the
scene.

or and Says II is N0bOdy's

Coroner Harry o. Bishop has left
town and 1t is generally believed he
will not return. No one eeema to
know where he went, although it is
reported that Seattle, Waeh., was to
be his ultimate destination.
Others believe that he Is in Texas,

er or not he would return He also

THREW
OCCUPANTS
ON SIDEWA ak
South River Men Came 10 See
Police Ball Game and Met
With an Accident.
TAKINe MAN TO STATION

There came near being a serious
automobile accident on Smith street
shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon when a Ford runabout, con
tanning Otto Berney, of South River
and two others, skidded off the troll
ley tracks, turned completely around
and landed on the sidewalk In front
OF Isaac Singers jewelry store.
Both of the rear wheels of the ma
chine were demolished and the mud
guard on the right side was badly
bent. When the machine turned
around and jumped over the curb
Charles l.. Spanton, of New York
whom Mr.. Berney was taking to the
depot to catch a train to South Am
boy, was thrown out from the rumble
seat in the back
Mr.. Berney and a friend also OF
South River, came here yesterday
afternoon to see the police ball game
but as 1t commenced to rain, they left
their machine at the curb and went
into the Packer House.
Later Mr.. Berney was asked by
Proprietor Floersch to take Mr.. Span
ton to the Central station, so that he
could catch a train, there being no
trolley cars in sight. Mr.. Berney
consented and with his friends and
the travelling man in the machine,
started up the street, keeping on the
trolley tracks. When Madison ave-
nue. had been passed, he attempted to
turn to the right side of the road, and
in an instant the wheels skidded. Be
fore he could stop the car 1t turned
completely around and landed almost
In the door of the jewelry store
When the traveller was thrown out
he picked himself up and, much to
the surprise of Mr.. Berney, never
stopped to learn If anyone else was
hurt, but disappeared in the direc-
tion of the depot.
Mr.. Spanton said that he landed
fiat on his stomach on the sidewalk
and was badly bruised. He says he
was dazed by the fall, and his busi-
ness foremost in his mind, without
thinking of the other occupants of
the machine, ran to the station to get
the train which he heard coming.

MARKET MAY
BE ONLY AT
WHOLESALE
Produce Dealers Do Not Take
Kindly to the farmers Selling
Direct TO the People.
HAVE MEETING TONIGHT
Produces Men and Directors Of
Board Of Trade to Get To-
gethST on Matter.

A movement is on foot to change
the market, which has just been es-
tablished in this city, from retail to
wholesale. The first market day,
yesterday, was big success from the
peoples point OF view and the sew
enty-1ve or more farmers who drove
here with their produce were well
patronized, selling direct to the in
dtviduals. That the farmers did not
expect this, however, was evident
from the fact that they brought no
measures or other things necessary
for a retail business.
In most places where such mar
kets are established the farmers are
allowed to sell only at wholesale.
Hucksters and produce dealers
did not take kindly to a retail mar
ket, as 1t has seriously interfered
with their business. But few of
them would patronize the farmers
yesterday because they sold at retail.
The produce men say that should a
wholesale market be established and
the farmers get to coming here. pro-
duce men from all the surrounding
cities would be glad to come here
and secure their truck This would
" AAt3 IAO AdiAnSIS luJO bu6 city anu
would also supply the hucksters with
fresh vegetables every morning with
out going to New York.
The produce dealers will meet with
tae directors of the Board of Trade
tonight to discuss the matter. The
meeting will be held at the EVEN
ING NEWS office and all persons in
terested are welcome to attend. 1t
will probably be decided whether or
not to make the market wholesale
exclusively, and also Just what is
meant by Wholesale.
That the market means a whole
lot for Perth Amboy is admitted on
all sides and the only question is
whether it shall be wholesale or re-
tail.
