 We learn that six mails leave Seat le every month for Alaska and our schedule calls for eight. This accounts for the number of mails arriving con taining only second class matter. Many are of the opinion that with our twice week service We have not received any more arrivals of first class outside mail than we did last winter. This may and again it may not be true and until we secure the figures from the local inspector We will not be in posi- ton to state. But We are thankful for the efficient mail service and hope it will continue in the future.

 The great value of railroad as an agent for opening up country situat- ed in the interior away from reach of water transportation is now being real ized by the people in Southwestern or Eastern Alaska where the first large shipment of copper ore has been dis patched to Seattle for the Tacoma smelter. A couple of cargoes monthly worth quarter of a million would swell the output of Alaska materially in year
 Governor Walter F.. Clark is doing good work in Washington. and we are pleased to note that in trying to se- cure large measures in the way of leg islation for Alaska. he does not over look the small things which means so much to certain individuals.
 Securing proper compensation for minor officers of the district courts is move in the right direction. Men have been known to earn only a few dollars a month as bailiffs while the deputy marshal who has to open and adjourn court, draws at least one hundred and fifty, with one quarter of the work to perform.
 We would be pleased to hear that the bailiffs from now on will receive at least hundred month. and one hun dred and fifty would be better. for that means better and more efficient men for the positions.

 The sudden death of "Murph" as W. l. Thorp was better known to Nomeites. is another proof that the thread of life Is slender one. that may be broken in the twinlling of an eye. A short time before he was called to cross the last divide he was in the Nugget office and was picture of health. giving one the impression he had years and years ahead of him to make his get away stake. for being out in the open most .of the time he seemed rugged and strong. without any hint of so sudden an end

Nome and Seward Peninsula has been blessed during the closed season in having twice week mail service. while many other towns and camps have to put up with a weekly or month ly service. And again we have cause for rejoicing that the mail has been coming and going on schedule time just as if regulated by clock works. John Hegness. the mail contractor. has proved To be the right man in the right place and local Superintendent of Mails William McManus is always on deck to see that additional pressure is ap- piled shoul their be a showdown" on the running schedule so We should have no kick coming.
 We are all thankful for the efficient mail service and appreciate what the postal authorities back in Washington are doing for us: but like old Mother Eve, We believe there is something lacking to make our service complete in all its detail.

The more one reads the text of the wholesale and retail liquor laws per taining to the district of Alaska, the more they are convinced they are breaking the same every time they take bottle of beer home or a bottle of wine.

oil at Laddonia, Auxvasse AMI

cents a gallon. AT Fulton this
company opened up the same pr F.

were selling oil to farmers at 8 1-2
cents a gallon, while coal oil re-
tails in Fulton at 20 cents a gal
