CONTRACTORS OF WINTER MAIL
 GET BUSY
(By Associated Press)

DAWSON, r. T.. Oct. 31. - The lower Yukon river mail contractors are. getting busy on their big winter system. Numerous dog teams still are used on thousands of miles of Alaska trails. The most important route perhaps, is that between Fair banks and Chitina, at the terminal of the Copper River railway. Certain mall was handled over that route all summer by automobile. and these ma chimes will continue running until the heavy snowfalls in November. Large sleighs drawn by horses then will be engaged.
 Percy de Wolfe. the Dawson-Eagle mail carrier, has been busy for some time sending hay, grain and other sup plies along the route in preparation for the winter service. He will use a launch as long as the river is clear of ice, and after that the dog teams un- til the ice becomes solid, and then large sleighs drawn by horses.

NAVAL OFFICE ERS ARE RECEIVING
 PROMO T|ONS

BASE AMERICAN FLOTILLA IN
 BRITISH WATERS, Oct. 3t-The two
 tailors in this little seacosst town are
 enjoying a hitherto unheard of reign of prosperity owing to the unprece- dented demand for gold lace and new
 uniforms from American officers and
 men who have just been promoted. The promotions. permanent and tenn porary, in the line of the navy were
 mate in accordance with the reeom- mendations of the selection board
 which recently sat in Washington. All those in the flotilla who have been selected have now been notified but owing to the distance from Washing ton it will be some days before all have their commissions. The promo tions were necessary in order to create more officers for the growing navy.
 The cheering news was long await ed here and it caused an avalanche of orders to fall on the unprepared tailors in the port Every man who was given little more rank wanted to show it on his uniform. Warrant officers, the highest non-commissioned rank, who were suddenly raised into the commissioned status and who were thus privileged to step up into the officers mess, wanted their new uniforms to wear at the table. Con- sequently, the local sartorial artists were swamped with the demands for decorations for suits not carried in their regular limited stock, such as appropriate devices for collars-sil- yer anchors, silver bars, gold leaf and of yards of gold braid for sleeves.
 While it cannot for military reasons, be said how many of the officers and men of the line of the navy over here benefited by the action of the Wash ington board, 1t is not violating the rules of the censor to say that nearly all the junior officers were advanced in rank, that a large number of the warrant officers were raised to the rank of ensign and the chief petty officers rated up to the warrant rank. The result is that large percentage of the eligible portion of the person nel now have extra rank and in creased pay. a fact which has creat- ed intense satisfaction.
 All the ensigns of the class of 1915, of whom there are agreat many in the flotilla here, are made lieutenants jun for grade. Graduates of the classes of 1910-11 and about one-third of the class of 1912 who were lieutenants junior grade, are made full lieuten- ants. Officers who were not lieuten- ant commanders previous to the pas saTe of the act of congress enlarging the navy, are made lieutenant com manders down to three-fourths of the class of 1906
 Lieutenant commanders are made down to and including about half the class of 1902. Con- manders are made captains down to and beg ming with the class of 1894.
 The majority of the promotions are temporary. Many men are given pro motion year before they would re- ceive it in the ordinary course ot af- fairs.
