WANT BETTER MAIL SERVICE
 FOR KUSKOKWIM DISTRICT

Duke E. Stubbs, postmaster and United States commissioner at Aniak, on the kus- kokwim, who has been in tho city for a couple of days this week, is endeavoring to call the attention of the postal authorities to the miserable service provided for that section of Alaska. AS has been noted pre- viously by The Pioneer, it is not unusual because of lack of proper facilities for mail addressed to residents of that section to be chivied 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 second trip to Alaska. The citizens of that section com plain that merchandise ordered by parcel post is sometimes worn out before 1t reaches them because of being handled so often.
 Mir Stubbs yesterday sent telegram to Charles Ross, who is now in Seattle, urging him to interest the Seattle Chamber of Commerce in extending the Seward -Iditarod service so as to include Marshall 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 matter up with Mir Ross because that gentlman had already in terested himself in an endeavor to secure service for Marshall via Iditarod.

MAX SIMEL IN TOWN

Max Simel, the pioneer trader, who now makes his headquarters at the mouth of the Tolstoi, where he has established 8 we'll equipped trading post, arrived in ldltarod Thursday afternoon on an urgent business trip, accompanied by his son. He expects to start on his return trip tomorrow.
 Mr Simel is very optimistic in his pre- lictions regarding the future development of the Tolstoi and Ditna districts, but no more inclined that way than he has been for at least nine years to The Pioneers cer- tain knowledge Mir. Simel has been in busi- ness in the Innoko valley for many years, has visited nearly every nook and corner of the vast area during that time, and no one has kept more closely in touch with affairs generally therein than he; conse- quently when he gives any information rela- tive thereto it is invariably first hand intel ligence

STORMS VICTIM
 IN BAD PLIGHT
Resident of Kusko. kwim District May Lose His Life as Result of Exposure
 During Recent Storm

Duncan Mcdonnell, familiarly known all over this section as "Cinnabar' Mcdonnell, was so fearfully frozen during the recent cold spell on the trail between Bear creek and Ophir creek on the lower kuskokwim, that his life is despaired of, and even if he survive he will be practically helpless,
 This was the story brought to Flat late last evening by Arthur Wills who came through by dog team from Aniak. where Mcdonnell had been taken, almost without stop, in order to procure medical assistance for the stricken man. who was suffering terribly After hurried preparations, Dr. Moore, accompanied by Duke E. Stubbs, left for Aniak last night. Mir. Willis brought word that Mir Mcdonnell was being cared for by Mrs. Stubs at Aniak, and that everything possible was being done for him under the circumstances
 By singular coincidence, Mir Stubbs had started for his home at Anisk when he met the messenger on the trail He accompa- nied him back to Flat and departed with the physician at the earliest possible moment.
 It appears from the few details obtsinable last night that Mcdonnell was travelling from Bear creek during the recent severely cold weather and was caught by the storm. What really happened was not learned, but he was lost for nine days, and when he finally succeeded in reaching human habi tation, by crawling on his hands and knees, he was in most pitiful condition. It was stated that his tongue was frozen to his teeth and his hands and feet also were frozen.
 Mcdonnell is 8 well known resident of he kuskokwim district, where he has re- sided for many years. He makes his home 1t or near Bethel, and is interested in quartz properties near Kolmakoff, among which are some cinnabar propositions, from which his sobriquet IS obtained.
 Under favorable conditions pr. Moore and MT. Stubbs should reach Aniak in three or four days

SERIOUS CATASTROPHE
 IS NARROWLY INVERTED

While driving s four-horse team with a big load of cordwood across . slough near the city on Thursday last, Felix Riley had a most interesting experience. The team included the two heavy draft horses brought in by J. E. Riley last summer, and when about half way across the slough these ami. mais broke through the ice and were pre- cipitated into seven feet of water The team of Paul Laplant, which had crossed in safety but 8 few minutes previously, was brought into action, and after considerable difficulty tho floundering animals were dragged to safety, although one of them had narrow escape. No serious injury was sustained by the horses, but one of them was somewhat scratched by the jagged ice.
 Riley himself received thorough duck ing, and as there was 8 cold wind blowing tnd the temperature several degrees below tero, he had rather unpleasant time until he reached town.

DEATH OF HANK. MARTIN
 CONFIRMED BY LETTERS

A report circulated some two weeks ago to the effect that Henry Martin, better known all over the district as Hank" Mar tin, had died recently in Los Angeles, was generally discredited here, because friends and associates believed that they would have been notified by wire in the event of his death. The mail which arrved last week, however, brought confirmation of the news. James Ennegan of Flat received the following letter from John Best, who is member of the Pioneers of Alaska, dated at Los Angeles December 2
 "I am writing to let you know thst Henry Martin died December 26 and was buried at Inglewood cemetery yesterday. He had sev- eral doctors and other good attendants, and was subjected to an X-ray examination be- fore the operation; but the doctors say he was too far gone before he was operated on.
 "We are unable to locate any of his rels- tives, so I am writing to you, as you know most of his friends, and may be able to find out where his relatives are"
 Jack Mullen, who had been an intimate friend of the deceased for many years, also received letter informing him of Mir, Mar tins death Mir Mullen could give no in- tOrmatlOn or tne reiatlFeS Oi MT ha1 lih, however, and it is understood that the focal lodge of Pioneers, of which he was mem Der, will make an effort to locate them.
 Mir Martin left here last fall for the Out side for the purpose of receiving medical treatment for stomach trouble. While he had been ailing for some time, it was not thought that his condition was serious, and bis death came as a great shock to his many friends.
 Henry Martin according to the meager record of the Pioneers, was AS years of age, and was born at Rushford, Minn. He came to Alaska in 1897 and had not since visited the Outside He was miner by occupa- tion

LAVISH PREPARATIONS
 FOR BIG MOOSE SOCIAL

The social to be given by the Moose lodge at Flat next Saturday night, in honor of the ladies of the district, will undoubtedly be one of the big affairs of the present season. The Pioneer was informed by member of the committee on arrangements that several musical and comedy stunts were being rehearsed by number of local amateurs for presentation on that happy occasion that will be worth travelling miles in sixty below weather to witness. The program of enter tainment is as yet incomplete, therefore it does not appear in this weeks paper.
 The social will conclude with fine lunch and dance.

ON THE TRAIL

Elza Fisher, who returned to the city dur ing the week from trip to Marshall re- ports that Dan McKinzie, who was taken ill on the trail between this city and Marshall and was laid up for 8 time at Akiak, on the Kuskokwim, has almost fully recovered, and is now at Marshall.
 Mir. Fisher met Mrs. L. c. Thornton and William Schirmeyer at Ohogamute, about three days from Bethel, to which place they were journeying. He says they were not enjoying the rather severe weather they were experiencing.
