South American beef is now
being brought into this country,
but the wholesale price is only
one cent lower than that of home
grown beef. So there is not
much prospect of relief to the
consumer from that source, for
that one cent difference will be
absorbed long before the meat
reaches the market basket.

 An inquiry has been ordered by the navy department into the affair and the result is expected to be the disgrace of some of the officers. All that IS known is that Mrs. Andrew Muller, fashionable woman. was removed from the Vicksburg unconscious one night at midnight.

DISPENSE WITH
 CASCADE WATER

Owing to the absence of several members of the Iditarod town coun- cil, there was no meeting of that body last Wednesday night, and several matters of importance were held over until next week.
 After mature deliberatlon the council las decided to dispense entirely with the water service given by the Cascade laundry, it being considered that the service rendered is not commensurate with the cost, and is unnecessary now that an efficient night watchman Is always on the job. In the event of fire large number of buckets are held i'll readiness at the fire hall, and the water hole ill the river will be kept open throughout the winter.

CIRCULARS FAILED
 TO REACH HERE

That it is tue intention of the Postof1ice department to extend the parcel post system to Interior Alaska is gathered from a circular received by Postmaster Thurston on the last mail
 The circular informs the post master that a number of other CIT culars were being despatched at the same time, which were to be dis trlbu,ed among the patrons ot the office, so that the latter could an swer certain questions which would enable the department to form an estimate of the amount of business which the local office would have to handle. The postmaster was then to go through the forms turned in and from them prepare a summary to be forwarded to the postmaster general.
 Unfortunately tue forms alleged to have been forwarded never ar lived, although a reply to the queries was desired by December / - 20 days or so before the letter asking for the information arrived |. and goodness knows how long be- fore the circulars intended for dis tribution will come through.
 Tn any case is does not appear that the department will lose much by the non-a arrival of the circulars, as the questions propounded could not be answered with any degree of accuracy by one person or firm out of a million. For example, an estimate was wanted of the number of parcels the firm or individual was likely to send; tue humber for local delivery; the number of frag ile parcels; the number of perish- able ditto, the number of insured packages. and so on.
 The department has been notified of the nou arrival of the circulars promised, and tue next move seems to be with them. They should ar rive any time between now and the close of navigation, when, of course, the information asked will be too late to be of value, as by that time department officials will have sufficient experience of their own to guide them.
