 WINTER MAIL
 ROUTE ASKED

IDlTAROD.-Duke E. Stubbs, post master and United States commis- sioner at Aniak, on the Kuskokwim, who has been in the city for a couple of days this week, is endeavoring to call the attention of the postal auth critics to the miserable service pro- vided for that section of Alaska. AS has been noted, it is not unusual, be- cause of lack of proper facilities, for mail addressed to residents of that section to be chivvied around for periods of from one to two years, and on more than one occasion Kuskokwim mail has been brought to Holy Cross near the close of the season, and then sent back outside to Seattle, to be dis patched the next year for a second trip to Alaska The citizens of that section complain that merchandise ordered by parcel post is sometimes worn out before it reaches them be- cause of being handled so often.
 Stubbs sent telegram to Charles Ross, who is now. in Seattle, urging him to interest the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in extending the Sew ard-Iditarod service so as to include Marshal and Aniak. Such a service would take in Bonanza, Smeaton's, Crooked, down the Kuskokwim to Aniak and across the portage to Mar shall, and consume five days. Mr. Stubbs was induced to take the mat ter up with Mir. Ross because that gentleman had already interested himself in an endeavor to secure service for Marshall via Iditarod.

SUFFERING IS
 REPORTED AT
 UNALAKLEET

UNALAKLEET.-(Special Cores pondence to Nome Worker) - Much illness prevails here particularly among the youngsters. Several peo- pie died during last fall and it IS felt that one to two of the lives could have been saved and lots of suffering among the children avoided if the Bureau of Education would take a lit tie time from developing the reindeer industry and spend it in building a hospital here, putting it in charge of a trained nurse.
 It is true that the Bureau has a very able doctor at Nulato but Nulato is but the center of his beat, and the doctor is located one hundred and thirty miles from here. The doctor has no aeroplaues nor is he trained as an aviator.
 If they would quit coming about the higher education and get down to practical and necessary needs, 1t would do a lot of good. The material for a hospital is here; including logs and medicines. Whoever is i'll must depend upon the school teacher and his knowledge of medicine is admit tedly small and in attending to the needs of the sick, he cannot devote the proper time and attention to his pu- pils.
 Mrs. Van Ness who is not at all con nected with the Bureau of Education, devotes all the time she can spare to the people that are ill. The bureau may find the Eskimos decimated by the time they are educated.

TODAY'S BIT OF VERSE
DAFFODILS.


! wandered lonely cloud
That floats high DER wales and hills,
When all at once / crowd,
A host, Of golden daffodils,
Beside the lake beneath the trees,
Fluttering, dancing in the breeze
Continuous the stars that shine
And twinkle the Milky Way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of bay;
Ten thousand saw l at glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced, but they
Outdd the sparkling waves in glee;
poet could not but be gay
In such jocund company;
/ gazed, and gazed, but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought.
For oft. when on my couch lie,
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss OF solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Loss of Armor Plant.

mated by the board as eligible for the
plant. That was high testimonial for
keokuk, out of the hundreds of cities
which became contestants afterward
The armor plate plant board announc-
ed that no city would be considered
which was within two hundred miles
of the great lakes or the ocean. But
perhaps for some reason it reversed
itself, for the location decided upon
is not two hundred miles from the sea.

keokuk made a gallant fight for this

cause it lost it. Keokuk was the ideal
place, with cheap electricity, coal, oil
and splendid river transportation
north and south, and located in the
heart or the continent where the food
stuffs of the world are produced. It's
more than two hundred miles from the

In Defense of Miss Rankin.

To the Editor of The Gate City:
Is your criticism of Miss Rankin in
this evenings Gate City just criti-
cism? Are not the women of the
world more tender-hearted than the
men? Is it not probable that if the
German mothers had been consulted.
there would have been no war? Is it
not therefore probable that when the
women have the vote all over the civil
lied nations, there will be an end of
wars?
1t seems to me that Miss Rankin has
shown woman's true colors-love OF
peace. 1t is true that we can't afford
to make peace now. But some day
the women will have influence enough
to lead this fool mankind into the
right path.
