N, & M. BANK
 WILL BE AGENT

Telegraphic advices from Seattle have been received by John Holmes, vice presl- dent of the Miners < Merchants National Bank of this city, announcing that ar engagements have been made by President Charles Ross of that institution to maintain an agency for the American Yukon Navl- gation Company at the bank next summer. Details of the plan have not yet been re- ceived, but it IS understood that the bank will maintain the same relation to the American Yukon company that the North ern Navigation Company did when the latter company was engaged in the transportation business in Alaska.
 The America an Yukon Navigation Com pany, which is a subsidiary company of the White Pass & Yukon Railway Com pany, last year took over the interests of the Northern Navigation Company, which included practical monopoly of the trans portation business of the Yukon river and it's tributaries Instead of maintaining an office at Iditarod, the agent was located at Dikeman. The result was that serious de- lays were occasioned in the delivery of goods, causing great inconvenience.
 Under the new plan much of the trouble and annoyance formerly imposed upon the merchants and other shippers will be avoided.
 It is understood that the new plan will involve no change in the agency at Dike- man, and that Harry Watson will continue at his post there.

Good Fjaht at Vernon


 LOS ANGELES, Nov. 27.-At the Yer, non arena yesterday Sam Langford, the col ored heavyweight pugihst, was given the decision for knockout over Harry Wells. The scrap lasted fourteen rounds, and Was one of the fastest and most interesting con tests ever pulled off in Southern California.

 fective and offensive style of battling, and in the last rounds he fought very cautious and waiting fight. In the fourteenth round Sam landed the punch that brought home

FIRST UIAIL VIA SEWARD ARRIVES

time limit was taken as happy augury for the future, and it is quite generally believed that the regular weekly service thus inaugurated will furnish the best serv ice the district has ever enjoyed.
 A feature of the new service which came to light with the arrival of MT. Boyd, the carrier, was that inadequate provision has been made for taking care of Interior mail for Iditarod He says there is 200 pounds of mail from Fairbanks, Ruby and other Interior Alaska points at Takotna, but that as the mail from Seward was a limit load
Iditarod pioneer., 1914-11-28

there was no opportunity to bring it in. It seems that the mail contract between Ruby and Tallotna was made without re gard to providing for the forwarding of the mail from that point the Seward Iditarod contractor being supposed to take it to its destination if he should happen to have light load. It is another example of the bone-headed management which has characterized the handling of the mail serv ice in Interior Alaska Some effort should be made to have this mail forwarded at once,
