CHANNEL BRIDGE MEANS MJGH TO
 THIS DIVISION
Sidney Jacobs Says That Bridge on -Gastineau VIII Mean More
 Homes Built.

Tremendous development for Ju- neat and Douglas, Alaska, in the evont of the appropriation of $5OO.- GOO for a proposed bridge between the two cities, is the prediction of Sidney S. Jacobs. wholesale morchan- disc broker of Juneau. With Mrs. Jacobs he is at the Frye hotel. says the Seattle Times of last Saturday.
 Many persons, said Jacobs, are eager to live in Douglas because of cheaper land. They want to build homes there and continue their oc- equations in Juneau This. he says, is impossible on account of the ferry rate, fifteen cents each way. The cost is prohibitive and lots for home building cannot be bought by the average working man in Juneau. If the money for a bridge to span Gastineau Channel were available work would begin in the spring and bus. or even trolley service, inaugu- rared within a year of the starting or the work.
 Secretary Frank K. Lane has in clo.led the item for bridge in his budget to be presented to Congress and have every reason to believe that it will receive favorable action in Washington.
 About $50 men are employed at the new Gastineau mine and mill at Juneau and when the new mills are opened in March 1900 men will be at work there. know there are many O: these men who are anxious to lngest their savings in homes in Douglas"

 Last year about half the packages sent out were insured but this year 1t can be safely said that eight out of every ten packages are insured by the senders. The MariDosa yes terday only brought 20 sacks of mall, but 225 sacks of mail arrived on the Princess Sophia this morning. Besides this amount Of mail to be distributed 1SO sacks Of mail were taken in through the office and sent south on the Alameda last night The Prince of Wales sailed for Sitka this morning with over loo sacks Of Christmas mail. pert of which ar, rived on the Princess Sophia this morning and part Of which was mailed in Juneau.

The mail has been han dled in an efficient manner and Mir. Bradford stated that the last of the packages which arrived this morn ing on the Sophia had been distrib. uted by the middle of the afternoon.

.HARDWICK WOULD CHANGE
RURAL MAIL SERVICE
Amendment Proposed to Post
office Appropriation Bill
Would RevoIutiinize
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Hardwick today proposed an amend
ment to the postoffice appropriation bill.
service prohibit arbitrary and unsatis-
factory reforms" by by postal authori-
ties, restore rural carriers to their
former estate and give to patrons of
the rural routes a service far superior
to\ any they have heretofore enjoyed.
The Amendment will awaken interest
throughout the rural sections of the
United States and will, it is believed,
meet with an approval that will be re-
Elected in both houses of congress.
As matter of the senate potofice
committee, Mr. Hardwick will serve on
the subcommittee that will perfect the
postal appropriations bill. He indicated
today a determination to press his
amendment in the subcommittee, and
expressed the belief that "it or some
thing embodying the same idea" will be
presented to the senate.
"And I believe, moreover, added the
senator, that the senate will adopt the
plan, and 1 have no doubt that the
house will concur in the amendment,
considering that the members are over
whelmingly in favor of improving the
rural mail service"
The Hardwick amendment provides:
First That the rural delivery shall
be extended so as to serve as nearly as
possible the entire rural population of
the United States.
Second. That as nearly as practic-
able rural carriers shall deliver the
mail at home of each family along their
respective routes, but when such is
impracticable delivery may be made at
roads intersections when the distance
is not more than one-fourth mile from
the home.
Third. That rural routes shall be d.
vided into two classes, standard horse
drawn routes, twenty-four miles In
length, and standard motor vehicle
routes, fifty miles in length.
Fourth. That motor vehicles routes
shall be established only upon the GER
tificate of duly qualified county authori-
ties that the condition of the roads pro-
posed to be used will warrant regular
and uninterrupted service throughout
the year.
Fifth. That daily service shall be
maintained on horse-drawn routes on
which an average of 5000, or more,
pieces of mail per month are handIed
for three consecutive months.
Sixth That on routes on which less
than 5000 pieces of mail per month are
handled the service shall be reduced to
a tri-weekly basis.
Seventh That the basis for daily
service on motor routes shall be 5000
pieces of mail per month, and trl-week-
ly service routes having less than 6,OOO
pieces of mail per month.
