EARLIER MAIL DELIVERY
Quarantine Authorities VIII Allow
Landing of Sacks by Tug

The United States quarantine au-
thorities have made a concession which
will result in the delivery of trans
Pacific malls several hours earlier than
would be possible otherwise. 1t has
been the custom to keep the mail on
board the ship bringing 1T until the
vessel docked. Under the new arrange
ment the mail will be discharged into
tugs while in quarantine. The saving
thus affected will be of great impor-
tanee in the matter of mail for local
delivery.

Abuse of the Newspapers.

No one save him who has learn
ed in the school of experience
has any idea how much abuse is
heaped upon the country news
paper. 1t is a public vehicle rid
den freely by all classes, and
there are many who manage to
get themselves or their interests
boosted without paying or offer
ing to pay a cent, and this class
above all others are the ones to
advise you how to run a model
newspaper. They know what
ought to be put in and what
ought to be left out. Know what
subjects interest the people and
can tell you how and what to say.
They delight in getting you to
roast some one or some concern
through the editorial columns,
when lacking nerve to send you
a contribution on the same sub
ject with their names signed.
We have another more worthy
class that abuse the paper on &C
count of their own ignorance as
to how a paper is maintained.
We refer to those who complain
about their communications being
left out, or about certain local
items of news that are sometimes
omitted.
One must remember that a pa.
per must subsist on its advertis-
ing columns, and never publish
contributions from its patrons OF
news items to the exclusion Of
advertising matter.
And while we may promise 9
day or two before press day tt
publish an article, the promise is
always made with proviso OF
mental reservation, that it must
give way to advertising pay mat
ter which may come later.
A weekly paper can have M
iron clad rules about such mat
tiers.
Again we are abused for fail
ing to mention the presence il
town of some particular visitor
or to chronicle q birth. death. o.
some other event which has new
er been made known to US. Tha

ALASKA COM. co. GRARS
 MILLIONS; GOVT LOSES

Washington, Feb. 13-The spec iaI committee appointed to study and report on the seal herds Of Boring sea since the government took over Alaska from Alaska, fil- ed its report several days ago, which is a bitter arraignment of the government and it's lax, if not dishonest, methods.
 The report covers the past 70 years since 1870, and shows that the government has actually lost thirty million dollars in money paid out for guarding the herds with the revenue service, maintaining a horde of special agents and scien- tific experts.
 In 1870, the report says, the herd numbered four and three-Quar- ter million seal and in the year 1910 this magnificent herd had dwindled down to 1SS,OOO animals. During 20 years of this period the Alaska Commercial company had made a ne. profit Of $lS,Ooo,O00 out of the sealing industry.
 This condition of affairs only re- fers to the seal rocking on the Pribiloff islands.

 George Stone ard Charles May man left Cordova a few days ago with a dog team to go to the camp of Happle and Van Iderstciu and ascertain the trouble
 Happle came Co the railroad last July and go; a few supplies, which he took with him up the Bremner. He said they would come out in September, as they would be out Of grub by that time. They have not been heard of nor seen since that time and their friends are worried. A collection was taken up In Cor dova and Stone and Mayman were sent to the Bremner to ascertain the reason for their delay
 Gold was found in the Bremner country in 1898 and many pros pectors have gone in each year. Several placer properties have been opened up showing good values.
 Both Happle and Van Iderstein are old-timers in this section and have been prospecting in the Brem- ner for several years

WAsKEY RIDICULEs AT
 CHANGE CT CURRENT

After leaving Alaska subsequent to his discovery of the Northwest passage, Roald Amundsen made the extraordinary prediction that the climate of Alaska would be- come milder, and already this prophecy seems to be verified Frank waskcy rend the articles published by Amundsen at the time and now recalls them. The famous explorer wrote that the great ice wedge which lay solid be- tween the Arctic and Atlantic oceans was constantly moving e1st- ward and would eventually break away into the Atlantic This, he said, would result in a flowing cf the Arctic waters into the Atlantic, a rush Of Boring sca water into the Arctic and the warmer waters of Che Pacific into Boring sea. such would mean, according to Amuud- sen, change for the better iu AL aska's climatic conditions The ice wedge spoken of was the remains os the solid ice which formerly sur rounded the poles To the remark able alteration that has come iu our climate is added Che fact that ice appeared In che Atlantic in un- usual quantities and In peculiar conditions last year. and one re- suit of the fact was the loss or the Titanic. Mr. Waskey seems to think it most likely this was due to breaking Of the ice wedge Into the Atlantic. This seems Co bo a far better explanation of the mild ness Of the climate than Che story of the change of the Japanese cur rent. and has Che authority of Che worlds greatest explorer Nome Nugget

HILTONS DOWN RIVALS

The Ironside Field Club nine
captured a double-header yesterday,
nosing out the Iner-Seals of New
York, to 8, at ParSview Oval in
the morning, and defeating the
knights of st. Anthony team, 9 to s.,
in Brooklyn, in the afternoon. The
morning affair resulted in a pitchers
duel between George Hughes of the
Ironsiders and Whitening of the
liner Seals, with honors even through
out. Both We're touched up for nine
hits. The visitors were the first to
score, getting a run over in the third
inning. They scored another in the
seventh, but the locals were back
in the same round with a point. The
Seals tailed another in the eighth
session but the Ironsides tailed two,
evening up the score. The winning
run came in the last frame.
Ernie Wolf toed the mound for the
Ironsides in the after dinner contest,
and pitched his usual good game.
Ernie held his opponents to seven
hits, while a total of seventeen safe
drives were secured from the de-
liveries of Gechel and McBain, the
ST. Anthony boxmen. The scores:

HOW TIGERS WON.

Newark's victory in the second game
was well earned. Holmes had the
enemy at his mercy and deserved a
shutout, instead of 81 victory. Getz
and Collins collided and dropped fly,
which was indirectly responsible for
the only run Montreal got On the
other hand, the Tigers earned two
runs and were presented with & third
tally by McGraynor, who played left
neld. He muffed q fly in the second
inning with Myers on third base and
Two out. Hi, of course, scored. Coli
Inns carried the first run around in the
first inning. He hunted safely, moved
up on sacrifice from Gagnier and
scored on w. Zimmerman's long fly.
In the second inning Myers was safe
on Esmond's tumble. Eddie Zimmer-
man sacrificed and an infield out put
Hi on third base. McCarty flied to
McGaynor, who dropped the ball, My
erS scoring.
Newarks third run was the result OF
triple by McCarty and a double by
Collins in the fifth inning. The Roy
ais only tally off Holmes came in the
same round. Demmitt singled, the
flrst hit off Holmes. Lennox ground
ed out ESmond poked a fly to right.
Collins caught the ball, but Getz ran
into him and knocked the ball out Of
| Bits hands and it went for double.
Purtell walked filling the bases, after
fouling off half-dozen good ones.
This was Holiness worst predicament.
He got out of it, however, with only
one run being scored against him.
Burns flied to Collins and Demnitt
| scored.
Holmes twirled cleverly outside of
the fact that he issued three passes.
In only one inning die they get to him
| for hits and these were scratcily
affairs. Lew McCarty and Bill Collins
divided honors on the aggressive, each
reaching first base twice on hits and
once on errors.
