Under present postal regulations, parcel post between any two points in Alaska and from any point in the United States to any point in Alaska is classed as being in the eighth zone. The unfairness of this regulation to the Alaska merchant and Alaska communities is illustrated by the fact that it costs as much to send parcel post from Anchorage to Matanuska, Alaska, only thirty-two miles distant, as it does from Chicago or New York city to Mata- nuska This condition tends to curtail the development of local trade and is holding back the development and upbuilding of Alaska communities
 "We respectfully request your favorable consideration of the request of the Alaskans that the rate for parcel post between points in Alaska be fixed on the same basis of graduated zone rates, fixed by distance, as applies within the United States, believing that such regulations are essential to the development of the Alaska communities.
 Respectfully submitted.

PARCEL POST ZONES URGED
 BY DELEGATE FOR ALASKA

Some months ago The Pioneer called at tention to the fact that the parcel post law acted in rather discriminatory manner against Alaska in that it was not given the advantage of local zone rate. Thus a package consigned to any local point in Alaska paid the same rate as one shipped from Alaska to New York or vice versa. Evidently the matter has been taken up by Delegate Suzer at Washington, and in the ] last mail the following self-explanatory com munication was received from the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce:
 Seattle, Wash, June 8, 1917.
 "Iditarod Pioneer, Iditarod, Alaska:
 Enclosed please find copy of resolution adopted by the Alaska Bureau and our let ter to the postmaster general in support of a graduated zone rate for parcel post be tween points within Alaska. We sincerely hope that the effort being made by Dele gate Sulzer to secure this change of postal regulations will be successful. With best ! wishes, we are yours very truly,
 ALASKA BUREAU,
 a. L. McPherson, Manager" " The Resolutions
 "Whereas, The United States postal reg ulations provide that the eighth zone rate shall apply on parcel post between any two points in Alaska and from any point Tn the United States to any point in Alaska; and "Whereas, Such regulations place the Alaska merchants on an unfair basis ot competition with the larger merchant ot the States in the development Of their trade territory tending to retard the de- velopment of Alaska communities:
 Therefore, It is hereby resolved by the Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Com merce and Commercial Club, that the post master general be respectfully requested to give favorable consideration to gradu- ated zone rate for parcel post between points : in the territory of Alaska, based on the same mileage rates as apply between points within the United States.

THE AMERICAN FLAG

When Freedom from her mountain height
 Unfurled her standard to the alr, She tore the azure robe of night
 And set the stars of glory there. She mingled with its gorgeous dyes The milky baldrc of the skies, And striped its pure celestial white With StreakIngS of the morning light; Then from his mansion in the sun She called her eagle bearer down, And gave into his mighty hand The symbol of her chosen land. Majestic monarch of the cloud,
 Who rear'st aloft thy regal form, To hear the tempest trumpingS loud, And see the lightning lances driven,
 When strive the warriors of the storm, And rolls the thunder drum of heaven, Child of the sun! to thee 'tls given
 To guard the banner of the free, TO hover in the sulphur smoke, To ward away the battle stroke, And bid it's bendings shine afar, Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
 The harbingers of victory! Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly, The sign of hope and triumph high, When speaks the signal trumpet tone, And the long line comes gleaminR on. Ere yet the life blood warm and wet, Has dimmrd the gliStening hayonet, Each soldier eye shall brightly turn To where thy sky-born glorirs burn, And. as his springing steps advance, Catch war and vengeance from the glance And when the cannon -mouthingS loud HCavc in wild WrcathS the battle shroud, And gOrV SahnrS rise and fall ike shoots of flame on midnights pail, Then shall thy meteor glanccS glow,
 And covering foes shall shrink beneath Each gallant arm that strikes below
 That lovely messenger of death. Flag of the seas, on ocean wave Thy stars shall glitter OCT the brave; When death Careerin9 on in" gale. Sweeps darkly round the bNlltcd sail, And frightcd waves rush wildly back. Before the bTOadsde'S reeling rack, Each dying Wandcrer of the sea Shall look at once to heaven and thee, And smilc t0 500 thy SDlendorS fly In triumph OCT his closing eye Flag of thP free hearts hope and home,
 By angel hands to valor given. Thy stars have lit the Wekin dome.
 And all thy hucS were born m heaven Fornrnr float that standard sheet
 Where brcathcs the foe but falls be
 fore us.
 With Freedoms soil beneath our feet
 And Freedoms banner streaming OCT us

 And Father Obenkampfer smiled cheerily as he reached across the bar and shook hands with his son.
 Louie walked out the door and as the sound of his footsteps grew faint Father Obenkampfer dropped his arms on the bal and lowered his head. His burly figure quivered as he sobbed aloud.

Makes But Small Concession.

Count Moritz Esterhazy, whom DR..
Wekerle succeeded. was selected as
premier on account of his personally
friendly relations with Count TisZa,
and It was hoped that he might be
tions and by compensation in other
directions, to persuade Tisza to ac-
cept an adequate reform bill with the
alternative of splitting the Tisza party
enough to make majority. Count
Tisza was willing to accept half
way measure, but refused to consider
universal suffrage. or even to grant
the franchise to all war veterans. His
utmost concession was the enfran-
chisement Of holders OF medals Tor

Count Tisza evidently believes that
the threat of dissolution. which. while
IL would end his power. might also
involve other Magyar units in the COM
mon ruin. is bluff which the govern
ment would be reluctant to enforce
and up to the present he enjoys all
the tactical advantages of the situa-
