PARCEL POST FIGHT.

Transportation and express com panies have been actively fighting the parcel post system, ever since the system became effective, and now it seems that they are trying to misrepresent the results in an effort to make it seem that the par eel post in the United States is a failure
 If the parcel post had originated in the United States, and if it had not been thoroughly tested by oth- CT countries previously, there would be some chance to make the public believe that it cannot be made a success. It is possible that the parcel post, as now operated, may need some qualifications, but that it will ever be revoked cannot De expected.
 The following comment from the San Francisco Star of recent date, shows how the parcel post results have been misrepresented:
 With a good deal of glee certain reactionary quarters called atten- tion to the $2.OOo,00O item in the Urgent Deficiency Appropriation bill for parcel post as an indication that the new service is piling up deficit Of course. there is noth- ing in this report, which received quite a wide circulation. Although the Postoffice Department pays its expenses out of it's own revenues, it is necessary under the law for congress to appropriate these reve- nues by items for postoffice needs. The parcel post needs an additional

ABOUT THE HORSE DEAL.

!, Marshal l.. T. Erwin using his official position for the purpose of enabling the Orr Stage company to unload some Of it's old horses upon the United States government That Is question that naturally arises from the fact that Erwin went oul of his way to assure the government that pack horses could be bought here, and then. when the railroad commission wanted bids, obtained his prices and other in formation from the stage company. which has number of discarded horses 10 sell each year when it's stages stop operating
 If Erwin did not know before he sent lis first telegram to Washing ton that there were horses here available for the engineering com mission why should fe send such information there? The whole thing looks suspicious.
 As a United States marshal Erwin should attend to his official duties, and should not use his position to aid a private corporation to load off on the government something for which il has no more use If the government is fooled in this matter, fl will reflect upon the city of Fairbanks and on the people here, and will hurt this city in it's future efrorLs for governmental favor

Conference Over
Lighting Clock

Without arriving at any agreement,
the members Of the city council and
the board of supervisors held con-
ference this forenoon regarding the
lighting of the clock in the court house
tower and bill Of the maintenance Of
the clock that the supervisors claim
the city owes. There was no intimation
given after the conference that the
clock would be lighted as q result OF
the hour the two bodies conferred.
The council members, however, made
the supervisors proposal of settle
ment, which was not accepted. The
council proposed to settle for the en-
tire time since the clock was installed.
But the supervisors want the city to
pay a bill Of $500 for one -half of the
maintenance Of the clock for the four
years up to this year. This bill has
not been paid.
According to the records of the SUI
pervisors and the city, the city was
to pay $500 Of the cost of installing the
clock, and One-third of the cost Of
maintenance. There is apparently no
controversy over this agreement, which
continued until 1902. From 1902 to
1910 the city claims to have paid one
half of the cost Of maintenance. Since
then IT has paid nothing, and because
the $500 bill was not paid the super
wsors had the light cut Off
The council proposed that it was
willing to settle for one-third of the
cost Of maintenance from the time the
clock was installed to date, if it were
given credit against this amount for
the one-half Of the cost of maintenance
that it paid from 1902 to 1910.
. The supervisors have not agreed to
this. They claim that the city agreed
orally to pay one-half Of the cost OF
maintaining the clock, but so far as is
known there is no record of this agree
ment. The supervisors want the coun-
Gil to pay according to this agreement,
and 1t is according to this understand
ing that the county rendered its bill
against the city.
Part of this $500 bill was incurred
while Supervisor w. H. Jones was
mayor. He says the city's share during
his administration was not paid be-
cause the county owed the city $4,000
from the road fund. and that anyway
the county never presented bill. He
also thinks the city should pay for
having its fire alarm bell. in the court
house tower. The councilmen told the
supervisors that the fire bell would be
removed if the supervisors served no.
tice on the city to take it out.
