ONLY ONE MORE
 OUTGOING MAIL

According to Postmaster Baker, there will be but one more outgoing mail during the coming open season, so far as he has knowledge, and this probably will leave on Wednesday next. There may be more than one consignment of mail received here, how ever, as Percy Charles reports that MT. Handles, superintendent of the Interior Alaska mail service located at Panama, told him that if arrangements could be made for transporting it from Holy Cross to Iditarod he would forward all mail accumu lating at Ruby up to October for this dis trct to Holy Cross.
 The terms of the summer mail contract provide for mail service four times a month from June to September 30, and as much oftener after that as the contractor may be able to operate his vessel So it is not unlikely that other mails besides the one scheduled for next week will arrive by the river route.
 The winter mail service does not go into effect until November l, and from that time until spring a weekly mail service is pro- vided for. According to an article in the Anchorage Pioneer, that city is to be the chief distributing point for all mail matter destined for the surrounding country and for the Iditarod region. This statement is credited to Postotfice Inspector Neil, who re- gently visited that place. It is thought that this will result in more satisfactory service than last year. as Anchorage is now a town of considerable importance and mail matter can be forwarded with dispatch.
 It is learned that force of men has ben engaged for some time past in cutting out the new trail between Ophir and this city, which will shorten the mail route to 9 considerable extent.

MANLEY'S PLANT
 CLOSES SEASON

Frank ManIey, who has been operating on Willow creek this season with one of the latest mechanical devices for placer min ing, what is known as the drag-hne scraper, was passenger for the Outside this week, He was accompanied by his wife and son.
 The new machine used by Mir. Manley was not put in operation until the season was we'll advanced, but it was operated long enough to demonstrate that it was pro nounced success, more than coming up to expectations. The plant was shut down earlier than was anticipated, owing to the fact that frost was struck. The plant oper- ates without the aid of thawing machinery, large areas of ground being stripped allowing the elements to clear the ground of ice In this way large saving is ef fected.
 It is understood that the work of MT. Manley on Willow creek will be pushed with vigor next spring, and with his modern ia ciities, splendid results are looked for
 Willow creek is destined next year to be the scene of the greatest activity in its his tory. Besides the operations of Mir. Man ley, Jonas Brewis who is working group of claims there will conduct extensive op- erations He already is making prepara- tions for next seasons work.
 While exact figures are not available as to output from this creek, wel!-nformed mining man is authority for the statement that half million dollars already has been taken from Willow creek.

MRS. THORNTON BUYS
 THEPETERSONSTORE

Mrs. Lottie Thornton has bought out the stock and business at the corner of First avenue and Richmond street heretofore con- ducted by Miss Edrica Peterson, who left for the Outside last week. The stock con- sists of ladies and children's goods, and ac- cessorles, dry goods, shoes, etc. and em- braces one of the best assortments of such articles ever displayed in the city.
 In addition to the regular business, Mrs Thornton, who has had considerable ex- perience in this branch of the business, will conduct pressing and cleaning depart ment for mems clothing, and also will do plain sewing and dressmaking In the latter branch Mrs. Thornton is particularly well qualified, having been with the making department of Frederick & Nelson, the great Seattle establishment, for several years prior to coming North
 In her new venture Mrs Thornton is bound to meet with success, as she has a host of friends throughout the district, and lis greatly respected among all classes of our people.
 In the entry of Mrs Thornton into the Iditarod business field, mercantile circles are augmented by the addition of progressive and enterprising business woman, and one who is imbued with public spirit that is worthy of emulation by the business people of the sterner sex During her residence in the district she has always taken a promi- nent part in matters of public welfare. It was largely due to her efforts, aided by those $f other residents of Otter creek, that the government appropriated $4 ,000 for the con duct of public school at Discovery; and it is worthy of note that the teacher of that school was paid Alaska wages-S1O per day during the entire school year.

COTTON SEED WORTH
MORE than LINT in
1914 SAYS DR..
SOULE
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

(Op6Cldl 10 llm6S-heCOrO6T.l
ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. 25-"The far
mer who grew cotton last fall will
find his seed, relatively speaking, a
more profitable and desirable crop
than the lint which he gathered and
ginned from the Seed" is the strong
statement made by DR.. Andrew M.
Soule, president of the State College
Of Agriculture at Athens, which insti-
tuition is now conducting a short
course in agriculture for the benefit of
Georgia farmers.
This statement was made in an ad-
dress delivered by Dr. Soule on the
subject of Taking Care of Cotton
Seed"
He called attention to the fact that
the cotton oil mills in Georgia during
one month had paid out approximately
seventy-five thousand dollars in claims
for "off" products. These claims, of
course, were caused by the cotton seed
from which the products are made, be-
ing more or less in damaged condition
when milled.
He points out that the cause of the
loss in question is due largely to the
excess of moisture in the cotton seed,
and urges the farmers to take better
care Of their cotton seed, for which a
cash market is always to be had, in
order that they may get better price
for their cotton seed and the oil mill
in turn may be able to produce supe-
rior products
He states that under normal condi-
tons, where the cotton seed are prop
erly handled and come to the mill, the
refining loss in the oil amounts to
between five and six per cent, but in
cases where the seed are damaged
from one cause or another, this loss
runs from ten to thirty percent.
1t is believed that his address will do
much toward relieving the condition
which is costing the farmers and the
oil mills thousands OF dollars a year.

"ThirtieS" q Good Glass
The Alerion II and the
Lena Fighting Ii Out
for the Honors
This Season.
photo by RosenfeldD

It is conceded by yachtsmen general
ly that there is no more practical and
popular one-design class racing on
Long Island Sound than the "thirties."
Built by the Herresnoffs ten years
ago, some of them have been in COM
mission every year since that time, and
they have raced consistently every sea-
son in all strengths OF wind and IN
rough and smooth water.
The "thirties" change names and
owners and crews, but they are found
Mt the starting line in all of the prin-
cipal club races on the Sound, and sew
eral race in the squadron runs OF the
New York Yacht Club off Newport.
These smart little racing craft measure
40 feet over all, 30 feet on the water
line, s feet 10 inches beam and 6 feet 3
inches draft.
Five of the "thirties" have started in
five races so far this season, not count
ing Yesterdays race. On the point"
system. by which a boat is allowed one
point for starting and one point for
every boat she beats, J. w. and F. p.
Alker's Alerion II stands first with 26
points TO her credit. Ogden NJ. Reds
Lena is second, with % points; j. Al
bert MahlstedtS Okee III, third, with ~

tie. with Il points each, for sixth place,
ami Edmund Lang's Banzai, with 10
points.
The most coveted prize so far this
season-the New York Yacht Club
course cup for sloops, better known as
the Bennett Cup-was won by the Lena
in the New York Yacht Clubs annual
race or June %, with her owner, Ogden
NJ. Reid at the helm, and Godfrey Par
sons as main sheet man.
The Lena has started i've times this
year. and has won one first, two seconds
and two sixths. The Alerion ii did not
win a first, but she has two seconds,
one third and two fourths to her credit
out of five starts.
The showing of the Okee II is a good
one. for out of four starts she has two
frsts, one fourth and one fifth. The
Silhouette, in three starts, has one first,
one second and one seventh.
