The peopl" of this city and vicinity are on the itptoe of expectancy over the eH- pectcd arrival of Captain Albert Vile, who was appointed and confirmed as postmaster of Iditarod, and who is supposed to be somewhere between here and Seward.

The Pioneer is firmly of the opinion that ,he appointment of the admirable Captain has no wise strengthened the Democratic party organization in this Gistrc., but it cannot refrain from commenting the ener- getic tenacity with which he doggcd the footsteps of his idol, and by hi, presence in Juneau compelled the Major tc redeem his extravagant and ilI-advi~c4 prediction promises

Weeks followed weeks, and nothing was happening in postohice circles. Then, all of sudden, something did happen. It was caused by the announcement that the Captain the Democratic party "worker- the young man who had left this city but few short months previously, carrying no letters of indorsement from the people of the district and relying absolutely upon his friendship for and adoration of the Major had landed the coveted prize. Almost i'm medlately vigorous telegraphic protests were hurled at the Major by many residents of this community but that "soft-soap" expert dlsclalmed any participation in the matter. After several weeks the Major began to receive some rather warm letters from old ldltarod friends in regard to the appoint ment and the Majors replies have been received lately. The recipients of the let ters have been comparing them, and as consequence the Major has been elevated in their estimation only as "hedger" and clumsy "side stopper" It seems to be the united opinion of all that if the Major is provided with ample writing material his tate will be similar to that of the young bovine that was allowed unlimited tether.

Gentle spring gradually waned, and in the meantime intelligence had reached this city that there would shortly be a change made in the postmastership of Iditarod. As a consequence aspiring candidates for the position began to get busy to secure the little plum. One energetic Democrat start ed petition and in short time had SC cured over 700 signatures thereto. Another gentleman was indorsed for the position by well-known party men of the community because he was known to be in every way qualified to hold down the job

and has been active m party WOIk.
 Mir Vile is now visiting in Juneau.
 Mir. Wilc's activity in party work con sisted wholly of attending two not overly enthusiastic meetings held here and in Flat City in the summer of 1912 by J. F. A. Strong in the interest of Robert Jennings, as the Democratic candidate for delegate to congress Wiles work on those very suspicious and funeral like occasions con sisted of violent hand-clapping whenever the speaker reached a short breathing spell at the end of a pointless statement, and by ''mixng" with the audiences before anl after the speaking to inform his hearers hat the speaker was "a fine man, genu inc sport, that fellow, believe me" Jen- n.ngs' vote in this district cut very sor r3wful figure, and the Captain was the only known convert to Democracy as the result of the Majors campaign. In fact during the entire period of Strong's resi- dence in this "niggerheaded empire that arose out of the moss very malignant form of Damon and Pythias-hke affection seemed to exist between the Major and the Captain.
 In the face of such demonstrations of at tachment, IS it any wonder that the Cap tain impatcntly awaited the opening of navigation last spring that he might take passage for the capital city where the Major had but recently been inducted into the go}crnorshiH, to again bask in the pres cnoe of the peroAiied pate, and this too after receiving q telegram from the adored one c4utionjn@ him not to come to Juneau expecting an appointment
 So far as the mutual admiration pact was concerned, it seemed to be a cast ot ''out of sight, out of mind with the Major But not so uitn the Captain. Before the MaJor could realize the fact, the Captain was at the threshold of the executive man sion, and, fgurativeIy speaking, was camp ing on the Majors tra:l-and there to stay indefinitely.
 Last summer John Strcl;c (another de voted admirer of the Majors, stated to The Pioneer, just previous to his departure fer the Chisana that the Captain on his arrival at the Majors house in Juneau would find a great, big chunk of ice at the front door in the place of velvety mae con tainins the cheering word "Nelcome.' Whether or not Johns prediction proved to be true, The Pioneer Is unable at this writing to state.

The ordinary canned pineapple is pro-
badly as good as fruit preserved at home,
as well as less costly For those who
desire to put up their own the following
suggestions are presented:
Pineapples should be pared eyed and
sliced, then either chopped or cut into
small pieces II preferred they may be
grated. To every quart Of the prepared
pineapple allow two cupfus Of sugar.
