letters of Dr. Green of Takotna to The Pioneer. What should be great con venence to these people in the way of mail service has proved so far to be noth ing less than an aggravation. It is inGe- fensible that mail sleds should pass by their very doors and yet not be able to deliver mail to them.
 It is pointed out that the people of Alaska are as much entitled to satlsfac- tory mail service as any other sectlon ot the country. Appropriations are made for this service and their wise use would pro- vide a mail delivery equal to the require ments of the country. The machinery has been provided there are good mail trails betwen this city and the coast and between Interior Alaska and the Iditarod country. These should be taken advantage of, and instead of allowing mail to accumulate at Takotna and Seward, emergency contracts should be immediately awarded and the mail removed

The Interior Service

With respect to the service between h. teror Alaska points, the conditions are even more unsatisfactory. There Is a mail route twice each month between Takotna and Ruby, connecting with the Seward service. Since the close of navigation, early ln Oc- tober, practically but one mail had been received over this route up to Thursday oi < this week, and this appar- en>ly was a haphazard assortment. There is said to be a large accumulation of mail at Takotna for the Iditarod district, for the delivery of which no provision has been made by the officials. Lately the citizens of this district subscribed a sum sufficient to defray the expenses of hauling con signment of this accumulated mall, but It is hardly to be expected that this practice could be continued The mail from Sew ard being full contract consignment each trip, the only mail brought from Takotna consists of but sufficient to make up the amount left at that point for Ruby and way points The consequence IS that mail communication between Iditarod and Fair banks and Yukon river points has been at standstill for several months. This con dition of affairs is intolerable, and the resi- dents of this section of Alaska are beg n ming to impatiently inquire where the re- sponsibility rests,
 Residents along the Seward trail also have just grievance, as indicated ln the

 MAIL InlXUE'

The unsatisfactory condition Ot the maN service i'll the Iditarod, innoko and hus- kollwim districts during the past summer and thus far this winter is one of the prln- ciDal toLics of conversation at present. II is not that the mail is irregular, but Tn the amount and class of matter delivered, that the complaint arises The present contract calls for the delivery of 400 pounds of mall matter weekly, and since the inception ot the service this has been done. There could not possibly be a more regular servlce than has been enjoyed since the first conslgn- ment arrived here during the latter part of November. But in spite of the regularity of the service mail has continued to accu- mulate at Seward and Tal5otna, and little CT no Giscrininanons appears to have been used in determining the matter to be tor warded At the time the first mail lett Seward 1t was said there were Tn the nelgh- borhood of two hundred sacks of mail mat ter at that point destined for this district It appears that the Seward postoftice was badly hampered by a shortage of help, and it was to be expected that the service at first would be somewhat unsatisfactory. But it was hoped that by this time things would have adjusted themselves and the serVlce would be running smoothly. Such Is not the case, however, and each week as the mail arrives there is more and more com- plaint
 For one thing it cannot be understood why only two consignments of hrst-class mail have been received here. According to advertisements in the Seward Gateway there are three sailings per month of yes sels of the Pacific Alaska Company, which operates the steamships Admiral Watson and Admiral Evans. These vessels leave Seattle on the 5th, 18th and 25th of each month. The Alaska Steamship Company, whiq$4 operates the Alameda and Marlposa, announces salings from the Puget Sound city every eight days It is not known here whether each of these steamships car ries mail, but it would appear reasonable to suppose that with at least five sailings per month it ought to be possible to forward frst-class mail more frequently than has been the case so far.

The Dance

While dinner was being served upstairs in the banquet room many willing hands quickly removed the stage and the floor was cleared for dancing Messrs. Frank Hudson Robert Lowrie and Mead Maynard Flat Citys famous trio, discoursed sweet music throughout the evening for the dancers, and also very generously donated their services. For those who were thirsty there was plentiful supply of lemCnadc and beside il was a large dish of tatfy. Even those who did not dance found pleasure in watching the many couples gracefully gliding to and fro to the measures of the music. And so the evening passed merrlly on young and old tripping the light fan tastic until , a. m., when the strains of Home, Sweet Home brought the festivi ties to a close, and the merry makers wended their way homeward. Thus ended perhaps one of the most enjoyable socials Of the year.
 On behalf of the various committees, this means is taken of publicly thanking all those who in any way contributed toward making the affair the splendid success it proved to be.

CHURCH MESSAGE.

A worthy purpose for the new year
would be a determination to under
stand and know the message of the
church of today. No institution Is
judged by standards long since map
plicable as the church. Many a man
has discovered that the law of growth
is working just as effectively in the
church as elsewhere, and here as
fast as folks can assimilate the more
perfect message. With the churches
We have in our city no one need de-
spair of understanding something Of
the spirit of the church of today. One
service of course will not suffice.
Truth is many-sided and no man can
round out the message in one hour or
in month. No church should be
judged by one sermon or by one man.
The pastor Of the Methodist church
will be glad to see any who have made
such a resolve, and feel that in the
fellowship of this church, the expert
ment can best be made.

The Most

Your
Money

There isn't much if any diff
ference IN the price you pay for
hard coal-no matter where you
buy it.
But there IS apt to be quite
a difference in the HEAT value.
It's not any Dealers fault either
because it sometimes happens
that different lots of coal from
the same mine are quite differ
ent in quality.
1 have been ticularly for
tunate this year in getting a
hard coal that is very good-bet-
ter I think, than the average.
There is always a little slate
in hard coal, but my stock this
wear has less than usual. It is
a bright, clean coal-a coal that
makes more heat Ger ton than
usual and naturally less. ashes.
The longest and probably
the coolest part of the winter is
ahead of us. This hard nut coal
of ours will give you the most
heat for your money. Use 1t the
