NO MAILS FOR
 SEVERAL DAYS

Due to a congestion of traffic on the Copper River & Northwestern railroad for several days past. which has been caused by enormous masses of drifted snow, there has been no mail shipped out of Chitina for the past ten days, and in all probability it will be ten days more before there will be any mail delivered in Fair. banks.
 There is a small shipment due in tonight, and this will be all that may be looked for until the road is cleared between Cordova and Chitina. A large quantity of mail has now ac. cumulated at Cordova. and it will take several trips before it is all cleared up.

 OF YESTERDAY
 SWEATER YARN

The Woman's Bureau of the Red Cross announces that a further in stallment of the wool shipment con- signed to the Panama Valley chap ter arrived late yesterday afternoon, and will be ready for distribution at the library this afternoon from to 5, and this evening from to g.
 There is shortage of sock yarn on the Pacific coast, due to congest. ed railroad conditions in the States, and the Bureau regrets that fully two-thirds of this consignment con sists of sweater wool, instead of sock as ordered. The committee is great ly disappointed, but this is one of the facts of war, over which no one has control, and which the good knitters of Fairbanks will help face cheerfully. So instead of those socks you planned to do. come to the Il. brary today prepared to take share of the sweater wool, which will help the boys at the front and will be your bit just as truly as if it were socks.
 For beginners, there Is a supply of knitting cotton. with rsshN to make face cloths. .whiids.. ssso much needed. There is a further shipment of wool, that left Seattle March l, which is still enroute. so that this is not the final supply until summer.
