Pigeon Wakes Boys
 To Deliver Papers

HARTFORD, Conn. - Herbert and Steward Carlson, brothers, are paper carriers in South Manchester and i'll order to get the papers around in time 1 it is necessary for them to arise each morning at 5:30 o'clock. Ordinarily an alarm clock would be necessary to get them out, but they have a better method. They are called each morn ing by pigeon.
 About a year ago Steward Carlson found a pigeon that had met with all accident. It was only a squab. Its wing seemed to be broken and one leg was damaged. The boy took it home gave it attention and the wing grew stronger, the leg improved and after awhile it learned to fly Instead of flying away it remained in the neigh borhood and became a chum of the boys in the territory.
 The pigeon must have noticed the two boys leaving the house each morn ing about 5:30 o'clock and appointed itself an alarm clock. Every morning now, just at 5:3O, the pigeon leaves it's coop, flies to the window of the room in which the boys sleep and coos and pecks at the screen until they awake.

An Example of Mail
 Service In interior
Qditaroc Pioneer.)

 ANIAK, Dug. 27-It will be remem hered by Pioneer residents, and es- pecially those living on the Kusko- kwim river, how during the past two years mail for points on this river has been allowed to accumulate at Holy Cross. on the Yukon, the transfer point for the single mail service which supplies this region, and has then been sent to Seattle and back here on an other boat
 Last year it was said that some thing like four or five tons was thus accumulated and sent to Seattle, and about 200 sacks were returned on the schooner Bender Brothers, which ar. rived at Bethel on October 8, and the balance was sent on the P. J. Abler which was burned at Juneau, the mail all being lost
 After the Bender Brothers arrived it was too late for the river steamers to make a trip, and nearly 100 sacks lab | eled for Aniak, McGrath and Tokotna lay in the Bethel postoffice until the l Quickstep made her first trip in the 1 spring of 1916.
 l Again this summer the mail accu- mulated at Holy Cross away over the limit of the single carrier, which is l 200 pounds once a month, and the ex- cess accommodating there is reported to be something over half ton month.
 Postoffice Inspector Whitney came | this way in July and reports that the excess mail at Holy Cross has again | been sent out to St. Michael, and will i then be taken to Seattle by the Nome i boats. which have not much in the way cfargo going back, and will then, the Lord willing, be reshipped l the second time to Alaska, and the first time to the Kuskokwim river, it's destination.
 When the mail was at Holy Cross i it was within about forty miles of the kuskokwim river, and the mail car rier, who for a small pittance carries the mail across the portage twelve times a year, offered for a few cents a pound to bring over all the mail, but according to the wise and economical l CD postoffice mathematicians, it was too expensive, so they pay the Yukon river boats something like four to five cents a pound to take it to St. Michael and probably cents per pound to Sc attle, and then the boats from Seattle to Bethel get cents per pound, and [, the Kuskokwim river boats get five cents per pound, and the mail lands hack the second time in Alaska, forty miles from where it started, in a most delightful @ state of preserva- ton
 It $ reloaded at Holy Cross, unload cd and reloaded at St Michael, and then unloaded at Seattle, and probably hauled up to Third avenue and haul ed back again, and loaded on boat 10 Bethel, which, if it does not burn will get the mail soaking wet; the boat reaches Bethel and lies at an, chor while the mail comes ashore in a launch, with a sailor sitting on the sacks marked with a red tag, "Frag | ile."
 This mail is no doubt addressed tc somebody who needed it to use the winter before
 Inspector Whitney got one impress ion on his trip to the most promising section of Alaska today-the Kusko kwim-and that was that the people want a mail service, and want it bad ly. He went up the river on the Tana, and will cross the Ophir and out that way.
