INADEQUATE MAIL SERVICE

Alaskans feel that they have a grievance, and just one. in the pres ent method of handling the mail to and from the States, as well as be- tween way ports. When the post office department inaugurated the system of sending our mails by freight and express q general protest was entered by the different conner cial and municipal bodies of the ter ritory Cordoya. however, preferred to give the new system thorough test before passing judgment
 This has been done. and the time has now arrived when our residents can no longer remain silent and thus aCQuicsCc in the poorest mail service that has ever been given any settled and prosperous part of the United States. The many disadvantages of handling the mail by freight and eX. press are daily being felt. and the in convenienCes and hardships thrust upon our people have finally resulted in an almost unanimous protest, which the COrdova Chamber of Commerce has taken cOgnizanCe of and will transmit to the proper authorities at Washington. in the hope that some relief will be afforded
 While every effort is being made in the cffetc East toy expedite the transportation of mail, experiments having been successfully made with airplancs, the residents Of Alaska, who are the most patriotic Americans on earth and are enduring nardships to develop our last frontier, are made to suffer by having our not too fire.

SPANISH INFLUENZA

According to the news dispatches of the past few days, Spanish intiu- enza" has reached the Atlantic coast of the United States, no doubt having been communicated from abroad, where 1t has ragged for some months, There appears to be no particular cause for alarm. for the numbers af- fected are comparatively few. Most persons will be interested in learning something as to the nature of this disease. and the Journal of the Amer ican Medical Association furnishes the information. According to this pub lication the name Spanish influenza" was bestowed in the belief that the disease started in Spain, but there is apparently no authority for this. No part of Europe, civilized or barbarian, has been exempt Fortunately the outbreak in England and among the allied troops on the continent is now on the wane. Thus far most of the articles and notes regarding the dis ease have been ephemeral; the more elaborate and finished studies will doubtless come later. Says the Jour nal:
