SERVICE FAIRBANKS TO
 BROOKS

WASHINGTON. March 2 - Fal. con Joslin, president of the Tanana Railway Company, is dissatisfied that the postal department in calling for aerial mail services in Alaska did not include service from Fairbanks to Brooks. in the new ToIovana camp. He is trying to interest the depart ment in a plan be has for operating a mail service by aeroplane 60 miles from Fairbanks to Brooks daily throughout the year.

QUEEN ROUMAN|A PASSES AM Ay
 AT BUCHAREST

BUCHAREST, March 3. - Queen Mother Elizabeth of Roumania, died here today.
 The pen name, Carmen Sylya,' by which the queen mother was most widely known. was chosen by her in expression of her love for song and the woods She was one of the most charming figures in the courts of Flu rope, and practically the only one of recent generations to gain fame as a poetess.
 Tn her own words, she was born "far from a throne" for although sine was a princess of Wied, one of the many tiny principalities with which Germany abounded, her youth was that of an ordinary robust girl. who learned to cook and sew and who romped in the open with her compan- ions at the village school. She was born December 29, 1843, and in her girlhood she showed predilection for the poetical fancies that had such an influence on her later life. She ab- sorbed innumerable fairy stories and, with some of her own imagination ad- ded, she delighted her playmates with her fancies At home she received Spartan training. and with a father who was an invalid for life, and bro- ther who was incurably i'll. she eX- perienced many sorrows and hard ships.

AGAIN TALKING BOAT SERVICE
 TO FRISCO

Alaskan trade. which now amounts to $I00.00O,0 a year. has attracted the attention of San Francisco whole salers to such an extent that they have launched a determined campaign to get slice of It.
 Every effort is being made by com mercial organizations in California to institute direct steamship service with Alaskan ports, and it is believed by many Golden Gate merchants that this will be achieved this season.
 The success of the project depends on the amount of trade and a strong effort is now being made to build up a demand for California products be- fore boat is put on the run.
 To this end California merchants are offering to pay the freight from San Francisco to Seattle on all goods ordered until such time as a direct service is started.
 By absorbing the cOastwise charge this gives them chance to compete with Seattle on prices on all canned goods. in which California excels in quality.
 Putting on a direct boat to Los An geles and San Francisco involves con siderable difficulty at present owing to the great demand for vessels of every description. But the project has been launched, and it is up to Alaskans and Calofirnia commercial bodies to help. Markets should be secured in California for Alaska pro ducts. including fresh and salt fish. Alaskan marble and mineral products to provide freight for the return trip A through boat to San Francisco will give an opportunity to ship smelling ores direct to San Francisco smelters in competition with the Tacoma plant.
