CORRESPONDENCE
GoldstrCam, Jan. 26. 1916.

Dear Editor:
 Allow me to congratulate yoI on one Of your tmiely editorials in your issue Of January 2+ last, en- titled That Brooks Mail"
 Our dailieS are notoriously lack ing in such editorials. That one cf yours on he Brooks mail is some editorial; helpful and enlightening It is certainly a credit to any news paper, anywhere. Please accept my sincere and hearty thanks for thr pleasure it gives. l hear nothing but praises for it on all sides and could not resist the impulse to write this, my first offense poster ing an editor. If you care to pub fish this and can get the sentiments into shape-you're welcome.
 But tell me--Why doesn't the Republican anti"Federal Ring" News-Miner protest against that rank Brooks mail deal and why Is the Rings" apologist, the Times, so eloquently silent on the subject?
 And the cartoon in the same is sue of The Citizen, That's a cork CT, How natural, The familiar char aCt"ristiCs; the dear physiCgnomy All are there-although the dangling wide. black taped monocle appen- dage is missing. Probably that flowing ornament has turned white In this 50 below fog out on the Valdez trail Though you must re- member that this audacious, pub, lic-bedamned, make-ha hay-while-the-sun- shines official struts at the road houses, too, his fortunate fellow guests not being allowed to long remain in ignorance of the dignity "sah" and identity of this important member of de gang"
 A sage once said that "opportuni- ty knocks but once at each mans door" even if Dooley does contend wakes them up and works for them as watchnan. Some cartoonist missed a glorious opportunity last summer when this chicken fan fer rode daily down Front street mount ed on his bloodcd, prancing, eaily caparisoned charger, in suit of grey gauntleted, be-puttied, dangling. rid ing crop, all topped by slistening straw hat with barber pole band and, last but not least, that flow ing, broad, black monocle appen, dage 'Whoa, you hawse, Steady sah" This imposing figure was preceded not by trumpets, but bv pedigreed "houn dawes." It lo0'-e complacently and condescendinely down on passers-by, while the faith ful raise admiring glances.
 People even ran to their win dows to admire. The Juvenile Bos- tonians, from the hotel windows looked on. This important person l-~rn he'1 hieh his head and held tight rein, meanwhile flicking the riding crop. What a gallant knight errant, How tender hearts must have fluttered Yes, some cartoon ist failed to connect with Old Oppor- tunity here ir Fairbanks last sum- mer.
 But, dear editor, your readers will certainly look for The Citizen to follow up that raw Brooks mail deal and other little iniquities of our Federal Ring" Election time is fast approaching-so is retribution.
 remain respectfully,
 A SUBSCRIBER.

LETS ANOTHER CONTRACT.

Postmaster Deal became much eN. crciSed after the last issue of The Citizen because this paper made the statement that his actions in the Brooks mail contract sayorrd very much of crookednEss. and i" the natur" of q defense attempted to apply the strong arm" tactics which were so universally in use in San Francisco in the early days and which was fully written up in the Sat urday Evening Post a month or more ago under the title Of The Gray Dawn" to which We have had occasion 10 refer in prcviou- issue In that article we said that if you were to transfer the seen" of action from San Francisco 10 Fairbanks and change the names to apply locally, you would have a complete reproduction, and f r~' remained for the latest development to prove the truth of the assertion
 In regard to the contract let Mir Deal is all 10 the bad In other words he is like the palro'. he has talked too d much. and in the constant retelling oi his side of the story he ha- convicted himself out of his own mouth. In his Interview in the News-Minor he would lead tbe people of this com munity to believe that MT Harris was awarded the contract princi- pally on the ground that he had a dog team and that Chief Mall Clerk Randall had instructed him to send the mail by dogs. The telegram containing this dog information was in answer to telegram from Ar Deal az to what action to take in the forwarding of mail over the Valdez trail, and had no connection whatever with the Brooks mail as Mir. Deal would have everyone be iievc il would.
 Mir Deal told The Citizen when he was asked about the matter that he did not even know that MI. liar ris had bid for the contract, but since that time he has admitted that he did know Of it and that h saw the bid. And the bid Of MT. Harris was not the only one he saw. but it WAS the last one Mr. Deal tells this himself, and it must be so if MT. Deal is truthful
 Mir. Deal stated further in his newspaper talks that he told alt applicants for information that they would have to submit their bids ts the department at Washington. Ho'5 did anyone who wanted to enttr the contest know what to bid oD? There were no specifications, ard Mr Deal knew nothing more than he told each on" as they applled 10 him for information. Of course Paul Ringseth was out of the race, personally by virtue of being post master of an office which the people of Chatanika have to support by popular subscription, but he wa ready to submit bid for the ser vice in the name of another party.
 Mir. J. S. Rosburg, who has been making regular weekly trips into the new camp for the past year and who would have been fully equipped for the service had he been permit ted to enter the contest, labored with Mir. Deal for the biggest part of a week during the past month trying to get him down to point where he could act intelligently. but all his laboring only brought forth mouse. He frankly admitted to the writer that MT. Deal was too oily and slippery to get anything definite from
