Messrs Fitzgerald and Wetzler the
 visiting mail officials departed for Tel
 Ter on the Arctic today with the inten-
 ton of inspecting the mail facilities
 tentatively considering change in
 the winter mail service to this district
 which will have the welcome effect of giving us q first class mail shipment regularly every week during the winte~
 mail period. At the present time. all
 though enjoying what Is termed a
 twice q week service, it is seldom that an average of one first class mail ar
 rives within each weekly period.
 As general thing. no more than three first class mail consignments ar rive during each month. the remainder
 of the shipments consisting only of
 lccal first class and outside second class matter. Last Spring. for instance
 it will he recalled that the first class shipments were in the proportion of about one to four of second class. If the change now under consideration is put into operation. the service will be reduced to once a week. but every shipment will comprise a quantity of first class matter in addition to second class. thus cnsuring letter mail arriving at closer intervals than in the past The visiting officials are also consider ing q proposal to establish a direct mail route between Nome and Anadyr during the open season and are said to he investigating with a view of laying the matter before the Postoffice Department. Owing to the increasing trade relations between Nome and Si- beria, established mail communications are rapidly becoming necessity. The of steady mail communi- cation between Anadyr and Nome is by local business interests as an excellent means of bringing Si- beran trade to this port and would probably result in an immediate in crease in the volume of commerce be- tween Nome and the farther coast of Bciing Sea. It is also suggested that radio communications be opened with the Russian radio station at Anadyr through the Nome radio and steps will probably be taken in the near flu. trre to secure government consent. At the present time letters sent to Siberia through the regular mail channels take approximately q year to reach their destination. \ letter sent to Anadyr by mail takes several weeks to reach Vladivostol, From that point onward, the mails are uncertain and their trans portation to points as far north as Anadyr frequently requires several months. As a usual thing. it is impoS. sible to send and receive an answer I in less than q year. despite the fact | that it only requires day or two to | reach the Siberian coast by crossing | Bering Sea.

The Profiteering investigation Com mittce appointed to investigate the liv- ing situation in Nome has finished its labor and is preparing it's final re- port for transmission to the Territorial investigation officials at Juneau. The committee failed to find evidences of profiteering activities in the commer- cial dealings going on in this section and will report accordingly. The Food findings last week, after failing to dis cover indications of excessive prices r any line of food commodity. From the reports of the committees on food. transportation. fuel, drugs and clothing, it appears that there are no evidences of profiteering in any of the neces- saries of life, unless they are to be found by closer Investigation in the items of transportation and fuel. The present high prices are mainly ascribed by the committee as due to the excess sively high wholesale prices of the Outside, combined with the high freight rates from Seattle. In pursuit of their Investigations. the various committees prepared compilations of figures. cover ing in several instances prices for two and three years back. showing the diff fercnces between the cost and selling prices. As the transportation investi- gation committee was unable to ascer- tain what the costs of transportation are. it was unable to state definitely whether or not the profits are exces- sive. In the view of the committee lit is difficult to determine whether the high cost of fuel or of transportation is the heaviest burden on the commun- Iity. although the concensus of opinion is that the high freight rates are chief | ly responsible for the high cost of fuel The Transportation committee points out that in 1902 q good grade of coal was procurable in the local market for s14.

In letter to Game Warden Solberg, Governor Riggs advises the Warden that the killing of brown bear is not illegal North of Latitude @ degrees. The governors admonition is elicited by q reference in Il recent report of the Game Warden regarding game con ditions in this locality in which the latter states that the Eskimo reindeer herders did not kill brown bear molest ing their herds con account of the game laws protecting brown bear" Tho Governors statement calls attention to tke provision of Section of the game laws defining that North of Latitude 62 degrees brown bear may be killed at any time.", and advises that the fact should be made known to the Eskimo so that they may take precau- tions to protest their herds. Although the killing of brown bear is not pro- hibited in this section. the Governor calls attention to the fact that their hides cannot be shipped without first obtaining shipping licenses.

Following the issuance of com plaint at the instance of School Tax Collector John Hancock, Frank Van. a recent arrival from the Candle sec tion was hailed before Commissioner Hugh O'Ncill yesterday on charge of failing to pay the poll tax in accord ance with the new law requiring an annual tax payment of s5 from all male persons between the ages of 21 and 50 years. After listening to the evidence. Commissioner O'Neil fined the offender ten dollars, in addition to the sum of the tax and two dollars additional by way of penalty for failing to pay up within the prescribed time. Collector Hancock clnms he has at tempted to collect the tax from Van on several occasions but. although the latter did not openly refuse to pay, claimed that he was not subject owing to being under 21 years old. Judging from appearances the man Ia closer tn thirty than twenty one. Collector Hancock say Van admitted being sub feet to the tax when first approached but later entered the claim that hn was not. of age. In response to question by Commissioner 'ONeill. Van stated that le was "only kidding" the collector.
 Both the city and territorial tax collectors complain that many tax eligibles have neglected to pay the required tax Many offer excuses for not doing so and others attempt to evade the tax by lodging the col lector's. In many such instances the collectors are loath to ask for war rants for their arrest but both express themselves as becoming exceedingly tired of the evasions offered. They in- tend to take a drastic stand unless the attitude of the delinauent ones shows an early change.
 Doubtless few arrests will have a decided effect in correcting the tend ency to evade the tax. The sooner the
