Recent attention has been invited to

IGNORANCE OF
 ALASKAN CONDITIONS

Ignorance of the conditions that pre- vail in Alaska cause many blunders to be made by people on the Outside, and most of such biunders have to do with people in official positions. It seems that Alaska is isolated entirely from the rest of tho world or that let ] lers will reach the Interior of the coun. try quite as quickly as if being sent to ! any place in the States reached by rap. | i'd mail service.
 Last summer a Fairbanksan wrote to Southern California in relation to- some taxes on property he owns in lho vicinity. The assessor said in re- ply that the books had been turned over to the tax collector, who would forward a statement as soon as possi. ble.
 In due time the tax collectors state men of dues was received, and with out delay the required amount was for warded together with the tax state. moat back to the collector
 It takes long whilo for this inter- change of letters. and thus it was on- ly few days ago that the property owner received letter from deputy in the tax collectors office stating that the money order for the taxes had arrived too late and that there was Q penalty cdded for the delay Therefore. he sent the money order hack to avoid confusion.
 The property owner promptly sent back the additional taxes and in the letter that accompanied the new mon ey order he explained to the tax col lector that inaamuch as tho letter had to travel about 400 miles over snow and ice to thc coast, and then an ad- dIlonal 2500 mites before 1t reached its destination, he feared that another penalty would be levied upon him be- fore payment could be completed Itl is supposed that this little expla- nation win make the tax collector req lize that prompt tax payments cannot be expected from the interior Of All eska.- -(Fairbanks Citizen.)
