PUT NAIL IN WRONG BOX.
Unused Street Mail Box in Lobby OF
POstOfice Causes Delay
in Mails.

An innocent-looking street mail box
standing in the lobby of the Hender.
sonville post Office was the cause OF
much confusion and embarrassment
through the non-delivery of important
mail. A lady who is summering near
here sent mail to the post office by a
boy at different times and was greatly
concerned because h did not receive
an answer to her letters. An investlga-
ton this week disclosed the fact that
the boy had been depositing his letters
in this supposed to be unused mail
box and consequently they were not
delivered. A big stack of letters,
some of them weeks old, was found in
this box by one of the clerks. and 1t
is needless to state that the offending
box has been removed from the lobby.

LOS ANGELES, July 31. - Munici- pal garages, for the temporary use of motorists and business men who have occasion to leave their cars for an hour or more at time in the business district, are recommended by Chief of Police s. E. Snively, in his annual report as one of the most effective so- lutions of the traffic problem.
 As in every large city, since the automobile has become a popular in stitution. Los Angeles Is confronted with an increasing congestion in the downtown streets, marked by monthly lengthening of the accident and re- ceiviEg hospital reports.

MANY REGISTER REPRESENTATION
 DRAWING

SPOKANE, Wash, July 27. - Four little girls are to begin here the draw ing from a big iron drum the names of persons who registered from July 5 to July 22 for land in the Colville In dian reservation. The first name drawn is to have the choice of select iny ang 16O acres or 32O acres of land. according to classification. within the south half of the reservation. The registration closed at midnight July 22, and Judge John McPhaul, superin- tendent in charge of the registration and drawing. estimated that 100000 persons had registered.
 It is thought 1000 names will be drawn by the conclusion of the first days drawing. These persons will re- ceive three notices informing them at what time and place they are to ap- pear and select land. The first 100 will select September 5. After the first 100 have selected their land others in the order in which their names were drawn will be asked to make selections.
 The land is mostly lightly timbered, and can be used for grazing. The better part of the reservation was al lotted to the Colville Indians. After the fortunate ones have indicated their selections they will be allowed ten days in which to go to the land. They then may finally conclude their bargain with the United States or for. felt their chance.

APPROPRIATIONS TO STAND
 FOR LEGISLATIVE HALLS.

Word comes from Washington that the question as to whether or not con gross should provide for housing the Alaska territorial legislature or wheth- CT that duty should fall upon the ter ritory, came near losing half of the additional appropriation for the Jul neau public building. The informa- tion is that someone in the treasury department informed the committee on territories that the housing of the legislature was not a proper charge on the federal treasury. Chairman Frank Clark, of the committee on pub lie buildings, thereupon wrote Dele gate James Wickersham a letter, in which he stated that unless he could show proper precedents that would constitute a fair precedent for the appropriation of money for quarters for the legislature. the committee would recommend that the additional appropriation for the building be fixed at $15000O, but if he could show pro per precedents the appropriation would be $3O0,OOO.
 In the brief submitted to Chairman Clark 1t was shown that the federal government had built capitol buildings for practically all of the territories, av. eraging from $2O,OOO to $5O,OOO, with lands for sites, and additional allot- ments of lands for state capitol build ings when the territories were admit ted as states.
 The showing was such that the com mittee on public buildings decided to let the additional appropriation stand at $3OO,O00.
