NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS
 COVERING WAR PROBLEMS

Among the new postal orders re- ceived at the postoffice is one re- questing postmasters not to receive magazines and current literature, two or three months old, for sending to the soldiers in France and another one re lating to money orders is as follows:
 Postmasters are instructed to in form patrons desiring to send money to prisoners of war in Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, or Fur key, or in territory occupied by the said central powers, that the only method of sending such remittances is through the Bureau of Prisoner Relief of the American Red Cross, in Washington, D. C., which has been granted license for such business by the War Trade board,
 Postmasters will accept applications on which the regular domestic fee must be paid for domestic money or ders payable to the American Red Cross," at Washington, D. C., which in turn will endeavor to forward the money to prisoners without additional cost. Patrons should be requested to give the full name of the payee and the location of the prison when known
 Mopav Ordars intanded for urisonerS of war held by those countries which are allies of the United States should, as usual, be issued on the international form without charge for fee, marked "Payee a Prisoner of War;" and for warded to the Exchange Office at New York.

Major Waugh is now at the west ward, where he is Investigating the road conditions and putting crews to work where needed.
 Major Waugh is @ civil engineer, and for several years he was em- ployed as an engineer in the public works department of the Philippines government About year ago he was transferred to the office of public roads of the agricultural department at Washington, and assigned to the work of that bureau in Alaska.
 Colonel w. P. Richardson, presi- dent of the Alaska board of road con- missioners from it's organization, and Major Waugh last summer worked out the consolidation of the war depart ment road-building organization and that of the office of public roads, and Major Waugh received a commission in the United States army. He is still a highway engineer in the office of public works.

teur is not wanted. The beginner is more of hindrance than help. Only experienced trained nurses are of service. But the amateur can save many lives without going to France, because every young woman who en- ters a training school for nurses will sooner or later release a trained nurse for the service of the army. It is for this reason that every girl or young woman who enters now into a course of training is assisting her country to ultimate victory as effec- lively and as surely as the fighter does when he offers up his life for his country on the firing line.

sECRET TARY r. K. LANE
 EXPECTED TO COME NORTH

Advices received through unofficial sources say that Secretary of the In terior Franklin K. Lane will visit Alaska some time about the middle of July. The information comes through reliable sources, and is to the effect that Secretary Lane will be accompa. nied by Assistant Secretary of the In. terior E. c. Bradley. It has been an, nounced officially that MT. Bradley will visit Alaska in July, but no of ficial announcement has been made that Secretary Lane will accompany him.
 q have had no advices that Secre- tary Lane will visit Alaska" said Governor Thomas Riggs, Jr., when asked concerning the report from the South.
 Secretary Lane and Assistant Sec retary Bradley have been making a tour of the West together, visiting Arizona and other public lands states. Some time ago an Associated Press story stated that MT. Bradley would extend his visit to Alaska.
 The information coming from Cali fornia that Secretary Lane will also visit Alaska is from business men who know Secretary Lane and Assistant Secretary Bradley we'll. Both the secretary and assistant secretary are San Francisco citizens.
