POOR MAIL SERVICE
tDouglas Island Newsl

(Douglas Island News)
 The mail service between Douglas Treadwell and Juneau is very unsatisfactory to all the towns con cerned as the schedule ia now arranged. Mail from the former places leaves for Juneau but once each day. closing at l o'clock D. m. Mall from Juneau Is received at Douglas and Treadwe but once each day, between S:SO and o'clock a.
 AS there Is much business between DouglasTread we'll and Juneau which cannot be transacted by tele phone the result is that from two to three days are sometimes required to transact t by letter all of which is wholly uncalled for and the result Of sheer stupidity. negligence and lack of accommodation on the part of the mall authorities not the pstomasters Of the interested towns but of heherups
 For example: letter mailed at Douglas or Treadwel at few minutes before o'clock in the af ternoon. getting boat shortly atterword can be at skagway Wrange Ketchikau before a letter mall ed for Juneau reaches its destination In fact answers to the former if close connection with boats is made can be received here and at Treadwe before answers can be received from Juneau.
 What is needed and what the patrons of the offices in question demand is mail both ways between the Island and Juneau twice daily, in the morning and evening Nothing else will loo satisfactory to them and they are entitled to such service

 "Iloyds" ls-mainly-a great marine news and in' suranee exchange Its ship-repOrtng system literally covers the glove So do the marine insurance opera tons of its members and their packers. But without aisrespect for its extremely useful functions 'oyds may also be described as 'she wiaestOpen gambling house on earth"
 Moralists who are shocked by what Is done in the Chicago wheat pit and on the New York Stock Ex- change because 1t is often gambling" would be thrown into epileptc fits by the ease with which practically any proposition finds takers at "IAOyds Contracts are constantly made there which any Ameri- can court would instantly condemn as gambling"
 Betting on the wars length at "Lloyds" has about the same significance as professional betting on the results Of an American national election in "close" contest It's the chance-alng of cOldy professional chance-takers. aud that's alL
