 WASHINGTON, May I3.- Delayed in transmission.) )-Thc postoffce department today an nounccd the result of the call for bids .for an aeroplane mail ser vice in Alaska. The only bid re ceived by the department was that of a resident Alaskan, Earl l.. Byers of Iditarod, who sub mitted a proposal for a twice week service between Seward and Iditarod.
 This result was entirely uneX- pected by the government as it was generally believed that sev- eral of the makers of aeroplanes and also private parties would make proposals. The postofflce officials are frankly disappointed.
 Postmaster General Burleson said today that the department mad hoped that there would be d reasonable number of bidders in the field but attributes the failure to the inability of the larger aeroplane factories to keep up with the ,present war orders. MT. Burleson stated that he be- lieves that as soon as the makers will be in a position to construct the class of machine required for the Alaska service they will be willing to entertain the depart ment proposals. He also inti mated that the department will probably issue another call for bids as soon as the factories in dicate that they are in a position

The doctor says that he did some skiing and made the trip from the springs to Mary's lgloo, an accomplishment of which he is quite proud. Quite number of persons visited the springs while the Nome party were there, among them Judge Thomas who brought over a na- tive child from the Igloo which needed medical attention. The youngster was suffering from an abcess of the leg and was given the necessary relief.

 Dr. Mustard reports that, al though it is quite summery at the springs, the country between there and Nome has all the ap- pearance of December and the party had the somewhat unex- pected experience of encounter ing bad blizzard on the way down. The doctor says that it was the genuine article, drifting snow and all Af9er running through the storm the rest of the trip was fine and the trails in excellent shape.

The failure to submit the stipulated bond would have the effect of disqualifying him under ordinary circumstances, It is indicated, however, that he will be allowed a limited time to furnish the bond. An official oi the department discussing the proposal said that Byers vii! probably be given time to secure the proper bond because of guar antces of his reliability furnished by the Miners and Merchants bank and the citizens of Iditarod and he may be granted the con tract.

City Wins Barber Case.

The supreme court of Michigan has
affirmed the decision of the circuit
court in the case of the City of Owosso
against the Barber Asphalt Paying Co.
and the National Surety Co. in which
the city sued to recover $500 which
was paid by the city as costs in the case
which the Warren Brothers Co. brought
against the city and the Barber Co. for
infringement of patent. The city won
in the circuit court, but lost it in the
court of appeals and in the United
States supreme court, and it was the
costs of these appeals which the city
was compelled to pay and which are
now recovered from the Barber Co. and
its surety.
