A Circle City man named Moss was nearly killed as the result of the au- tomobile accident. The car in which he was riding became unmanageable and plunged into the Yukon river Bystanders rescued Moss from the submarine, which was but slightly in- jured by the plunge. The fact that
 automobiles have found service in Circle City will be news to the early pioneers of that section and tells an eloquent story of the efficiency of the Alaska road commission. It Is only a few years since the old timers de clared that it was time to move from Circle because man wearing a white shirt was observed in town.

A Fairbanks man who recently passed through Cordova, en route to the states. advised the residents of hat town to have a big family pot tatch He expressed the belief that sverv resident of Cordova would be better off if they spent a few months m the outside as they were show ing signs of stagnation. He believed that if there was not enough money in town to permit of all going out together that they should join forces and send as many as possltle Ill or der that they might renew their en- orgy and vim He forgot to plant TOT raising the necessary finances to bring the people back agair as that has been the greatest trouble with Alaskans who have spent any time in he states.

City Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, NOV. 8, 1915.

Now that we are on the threshold of that period of the year when We are more or less accustomed to hunt up something to fuss about by way of helping to while away the long win vote our energies in this direction to a most useful purpose by making an effort to have the winter mail service improved.
 As far as can be determined the service is to be continued on the schedule prevailing during the past two years or more and under prac- tcally the same conditions. Therefore 1t is to be expected that we will have practically the same old complaints concerning this or that feature of the service as have arisen in previous years That the mail service to this neck of the woods is a crochety af-
 a.r is beyond denial and that it is out of all proportion to the service
 -ofded other sections of the terri
 Y cannot be disputed by even the most ardent adherent of the admin istration.
 le service is Lot so awful bad we have had worse-and it is at least great improvement over that of some years ago. But, with all due credit for the commendable features possessed, it may still be improved A whole lot before it begins to approx innate the ideal Of course We are not looking for perfection in this re- spect and would hardly achieve it if we were, simply because of that fatal tact that we are more given to kick Ing than to acting. For the past several years the an | nual wall about the mail service las been dolorously raised at fire. 41ent intervals but so far as can be ascertained not an effort of any de- scrlption has been made to have the
 much complained of features amended.
 Regardless of other faults we know that the service is inadequate through out almost the entire winter period This is partially proven by the fact that letters are frequenly received which have been written at dates far anterior to those of missives already delivered and also by the additional Tact that. with few exceptions, each year finds a large surplus destined Tor this section piled up at some point along the line at or near the end of the contract period. Instances of this character have occurred so frequently In past years that they are no longer subject of more than casual remark There also seems to be a just ground for complaint at the appar- ent discrimination against certain characters of mail as indicated by the teiay or non delivery until late pe- riods of magazines and newspapers, The postoffice department has seem- ingly assumed the view that the for warding of mail of this character is . not matter of particularly vital i'm portance, as we have heard more com palnt on this score than because of , any other feature of the service. It is submitted that there Is neither reason

Make Your Own Cough Medicine

The difference in buying one of the
most efficient, latest and up-to-date
cough and cold remedies (Which can be
made at home), and buying the old,
ordinary, ready-made kinds, is that with
the new one you get all pure medicine,
instead of buying large proportion of
sugar and water, besides paying for bot
ties, corks and labels; and it usually re-
quires to 3 bottles of the old fashioned,
ready-made remedies to break up a
cough or cold, while ounces Soc worthy
of Schiffmann' new Concentrated Ex-
pcctorant, which is SO strongly concen-
trated that 2ounces, when mixed at home
with simply one pint of graduated sugar
ard one-half pint of water, make full
pint (16 ounces) of excellent cough REM
edy, and will be sufficient to probably
last the whole family the entire winter.
1t positively contains no chloroform,
opium, morphine or other narcotics, and
is so pleasant that children like to take it.
Arrangements have been made with drug
store named below to refund the money
to any person who finds it does not give
perfect satisfaction, or if it is not found
the very best remedy ever used for coughs,
colds, bronchitis, Group. whooping cough

and under the positive guarantee by
these druggists, absolutely no risk is run
in buying this remedy. For sale here by
