the mails three thousand miles in the
depth of an Arctic winter over the noun
tains of northern Alaska where the snow
lies SO deep there is scarcely bottom,
was received today by the postoffice de-

and a close rival for northern honors of

Brewer wants to carry the mail from

contract must make three round trips

CALLS A MEETING.
Austin Postpones His Eastern Trip for
a Little While.

Although State Printer w. c. Aus
tin thought earlier in the week that
it would be impossible to call the
school text book commission together
for two weeks, he has experienced a
sudden change of heart and letters
were mailed last night from the office
of the commission, announcing a spe-
cial meeting for Monday, Nov. 3, at 2
o'clock
BY calling the meeting for next
Monday, State Printer Austin must of
necessity postpone his trip of ma
chinery investigation in Chicago
and Cincinnati. He had expected to
leave the latter part of this week for
Chicago and from the windy city
would go to Cincinnati to look at
presses. binders and printing plant
equipment. But that trip has been
postponed.
The notice of the special meeting
of the commission was sent out by A.
M. Thoroman as secretary to the
school text book commission. The
notice merely states the fact that the
president of the commission, Mr..
Austin, has asked that a special meet
ing be held Monday afternoon at 2
o'clock. That is all.
But for a month text book commits
sion members have been waiting for
the final disposition of the school text
book contracts. Several months ago
the first of so school books and man
uscript offerings were received at the
Offices of the commission. At meet
ing in September the number of de-
sirable offerings were reduced to
about 35. Bids have been received on
all of these offerings. But President
Austin did not call the commission to-
gether and the contracts were never
let.
Around the state house there has
been a rumor that an organization
within the commission sought to con-
troll the letting of the contracts and
that the work of Kansas authors
would be rejected and books by east
ern authors accepted
