POSTAL SERVICE IN LAMENTABLE
 CONDITION

The inadequacy of clerk hire fin post
 offices of the coast towns has resulted | in a general protest being entered at | Washington against the carrying out
 of the recommendation made by In 1 spector Neil after his visit to this
 section last summer While consider able complaint was heard against this unjust act on the part of the depart ment, in not only cutting down the clerk hire, but also in the reduction of salaries below a living wage, it
 remained for the local Chamber of Commerce to set forth the facts to the postmaster general, with the request that the matter be remedied.
 It is gratifying to know that the Seward Chamber of Commerce has
 also interested itself in the move
 ment to better the postal conditions,
 and thus give the public the service it is entitled to. Secretary James
 writes to the local organization as follows Practically the same la
 mentable conditions exist in our post
 office as does in yours, and there is
 no doubt that by all the towns suffer- ing from this state of poor postal ser
 vice entering their complaint the mat
 ter will be given attention by the de- partment."

UNION HALL AT ANCHORAGE. |S
 FINISHED

The Alaska Labor Unions hall at Anchorage has been finished, and it was opened to the public the other night, when a smoker was given.
 Later, when navigation opens, the union will lay first class dance floor on the main floor, which will give a dancing pavilion 49x107 feet. The second story will be devoted to offices and club room. The furnishings of the club room are being donated by the business men and the public of Anchorage generally, and by the saIesmen of the wholesale houses do ing business with local merchants.
 The building when completed will be one of the largest log structures in Alaska. The ends will be shingled, and there will be name plate of the Union fixed in a conspicuous place. Perhaps few people realize the magni- tude of the undertaking in construct ing so large building. It is safe to say that the space allotted to social gatherings, one continuous floor con- taining 5,243 square feet, is perhaps the largest in Alaska. The whole structure shows what may be accom- plished by a united effort, and great credit is due to the union, and both it's officers and members thank the public for their generous assistance and the general goodwill manifested towards union labor.

IMPROVED CONDITIONS

The farms and farm surroundings
thruout the county have never looked
so much in trim as they do this
spring. The cleaned-up condition of
house and barn yards and the rid
dance of weeds and rubbish along
the fences is particularly noticeable.
This is true from one end Of the coun-
ty to the other. In all portions farm
houses are to be seen which are trim
med up either with screened porches,
paint, additions and the like and out
buildings are greatly increased in
numbers with several good sized
barns either Just built or building.
One of the noticeable works done
is that of buiring the weeds and grass
along the fences and public highways.
This has never been done with such
degree of generalness as it has this
spring and the improved looks OF
things is worth lot to say nothing
of the breeding places for grasshop-
pers and other pests being removed.
Some of this cleaning up was done
late in the spring and will not have
the effect of Kidding pests as it would
had it been done sometime during the
winter, but nevertheless it is all to
the good and the farmers are to be
commended.
