the person in charge of the Alaska section of the Seattle. Washington, postoffice as to whether seeds from the department of agriculture for points in Alaska have been received and handled there. and in reply the Alaska section man states that up to the present writing very few seods from the department of agriculture for points in Alaska have come to hand. He did state, however that he handled few packages for Fair banks about two or three Weeks ago and that same have gone forward in the mails for Fairbanks. He also stated that the wrappers containing these packages were labeled First Class Mail and in view of this I du not think there is any doubt that all seeds for Alaska will go forward promptly.
 This office is unable to under. stand how 1t happens that the Quan- tity of seeds for points in Alaska this year is 50 much less than in previous years, unless 1t is for the reason that there Is some question as to who the proper delegate for Alaska is. and whose duty 1t is to see to it that the good people Of Al. aska get their proper quota of gar. den seeds."
 The delegate contest was settled during the first week in January. Wickersham was seated in congress in the place of Chas. A. Sulser. He was our delegate from that time un- til March 4th last and had the privi. lege of securing these seeds for Al askans from the department of agri. culture just for the asking for them No mail charges attached. just asking for them.
 It seems apparent, from the in formation contained in the above letter that he failed to do this. whether thru oversight or not one cannot say. But good many peo- pie turnout interior Alaska are dis. appointed Ut not getting their seeds and if Mir. Wickersham has forgot ten them, some of them undoubtedly will not be as sorgetful in the flu ture. For seeds is seeds" and "votes is votes" and if perfectly good Alaskan vote isut good for package of government seed, especi- ally free one, then indeed have the people of Alaska fallen on evil times.

DID OUR DELEGATE DELIBERATELY OVERLOOK THE USUAL SPRING SEED
 DISTRIBUTION? NONE HAS ARRIVED

The time for putting in our Victory gardens Is almost at hand but numer- ous people in this district, from Fair banks turnout the entire Panama val, ley. and probably people in certain other divisions. are wondering where their customary supply of govern. ment seeds has gone. Many of them are no doubt cussin' tue mail con. tractors. or the steamers plying be. tween Puget Sound and Alaska. or the railway mail service between Seattle and Washington. because these seeds have not arrived.
 The Citizen. learning that no seed distribution had taken place up to the present time. called at the post office and inquired of Postmaster Deal as to what he knew about the non.arrival and distribution of free seed. And he knew quite some, and what he knew didn't locate the seed. In fact there seems reason to believe that they never will be located, at least in time for planting this year. and people who have been expecting the government to furnish them with the seeds necessary to make their Victory gardens success might IS well go and buy what they want. for this year ct least there "ain't no such animal as a govern. ment seed"
 Early during the month of March, Postmaster Deal. realizing with con- cern. that the seed shipment was overdue. and thinking that 1t might have been held up in the Seattle of. flee. communicated with k C. Knox, superintendent of the Alaskan divi. sion of the mail service, requesting that he look the matter up and have forwarded any seed shipments which might be there.
 He got action. Superintendent Knox got busy and sleuthed around the Seattle office but with no result. He ia a man who has alwavs donn b;u best for his Alaskan patrons and after he got thru with his investi. gation. he wrote Postmaster Deal us follows:
