season. The management expects 1t and is prepared for it. For years, how ever, it has been the chief source of delight to the westward knockers. Now, however, the shoe is on the other foot, and most carefully sup pressed is the fact that the United States railroad was blocked with snow during December and is still closed, and it can't be opened all winter In fact, the snowdrifts are so bad that 1t may be we'll into the summer before the line can again be opened.
 But the news has been suppressed. Why? Yet the blame for all the mall delays is now being placed at the door of the steamships. It is true that they have curtailed their sailings to the westward, chiefly because there is no business offering, but just as soon as the people to the westward success fully show that the postoffice depart ment is at fault and demand that that department rectify its error, and at the same time show that there is business for the steamships, the com panies will, no doubt, be glad to re- sume service and cooperate with the people, as they have ever been willing to do, on friendly basis of business relation.-Railway and Marine News.
The Cordova daily times., 1919-03-14

and the excuse of the postoffice de- partment was that the contract GOV cred handling the mail to Seward only and the postofffce department had no concern whether the steam ships extended their route to Anchor age or not, but as they did extend it on that route, that the extra haul would not be regarded as worthy of additional compensation
 No one ever heard of the steam ships being commended for the faith full performance of that mail service without any pay, yet there was never a time that any steamship left Anchor age with a freight cargo for there is nothing to, load southbound at Anchor age, so the movement of the south bound vessels from Anchorage to Sew ard was exclusively for mail and pas sengers, great convenience.
 The people of Alaska have had had much to contend with and they are justified in their loud complaints at the present time, but wken the peO- pie of Anchorage and Seward attempt to place the blame for the mail con ditfon on the private steamships, they are wholly in the wrong, for the fault lies exclusively with the postoffice Of ficials in Washington, D. C., and until those officials rescind their former rulings and are willing to pay for the service on basis in keeping with the peculiar conditions of Alaska, they will never be able to get any steam ship line to bid for the mail contract. It is also time for the people of the westward to look the facts calmly in the face and ascertain if the sectional strife and knocking has ever accomp- lished anything. When the Copper River & Northwestern railroad must of necessity be closed to travel each spring as the changing seasons cause a rise in the river which takes out the bridge at Qbitina, the correspond ents and newspapers gleefully handle the story and send exaggerated tele- grams to the Seattle papers. There never will be a time when the river l ct, ,Chitina will not take. out a. pile bridge at some time during the early

VICTORIA AGAIN PIONEERS
 ROUTE TO THE ORIENT

The Alaska Steamship Company entered the foreign trade when it dis patched the steamship Victoria for the Orient early last month. The vessel had full cargo both outward and inward, and it may make addi- tional trips with other vessels of the same fleet If history repeats itself the entry of the Victoria into this trade may be regarded being prophetic of future activitiee, for the same vessel was one of those inaugurating the Ca nadian Pacific service out of Vancou- yer and the Northern Pacific service out of Tacoma.

was not published in the complies Rem
dus until some six months later, in
September, 1877.
In the same year, however, the
actual reproduction of sound tracings
back into perceptable sounds was
accomplished by Thomas A. Edison,
through his invention of the pheno-
graph. The outcome of this idea
was the til-foil Monograph, with
which everyone is familiar, and which
in the year 1878 attracted so much
attention, and gave rise to great ex-
pectations.
The very property, however, of the
tin-foil, or of any similar material
that afforded the possibility of its
being sufficiently indented through
the impulses of the sound-application
for the purpose in view. A very few
passages of the line of minute inden-
tations in contact with the reproduc-
ing stylus sufficed SO far to level
down the spaces between the inden-
tations as to practically obliterate the
record, and though various means Of
giving permanence to the record were
devised and put into practice, such as
filing in with wax on the back, to stiff
fen it, or a reproduction on the sur
face by electroplating, the technical
difficulties encountered in these pro-
cesses left the instrument unavail-
able for practical use.
The failure of the monograph was
so pronounced, as to discourage eff
fort in the same direction for long
period Of time. From 1879 to 1886
the literature of the art reveals no
serious attempt to accomplish the re-
production of sound, and no advance
whatever was made during that
period. Those were seven years of
famine in the art. In 1886 however
the efforts of Alexander Graham Bell,
Chichester A. Bell and Charles Sum
ner fainter, of Washington, D. c.,
afforded solution of the problem.
These associates had labored earn
estly from 1881, to 1885, and as a
result of their labors made many
valuable contributions to science.
Foremost among these was the me-
thod of recording and reproducing
sounds, now in universal use, by en-
craving in solid material of amor
phous character, such as wax, or wax
like compositions. This system as a
whole embodied many discoveries and
inventions which contributed to the
desired end. The engraving method
resulted not only in accurate and re-
cognizable records, but in records that
could be removed from the machine,
handled and Transported without de-
trlment, and which could used scores.
indeed hundreds of times. This last
mentioned characteristic of the new
Graphophonic sound record, is of the
very first first Importance from the
industrial point of view. Such was
the praphophone as patented by DR..
Chichester Bell and Mr.. fainter in
1886.
This historical review of the pro-
gress of sound-recording and repro
duclng mechanisms brings us, at this
point to the present day machine
known as Grafonola.

HIGH PRAISE OF
DAWSON BY VETERANS
JUDGE HARRIS SAYS THE RE-
CEPTION GIVEN REUNION
GREATEST EVER KNOWN.

On returning to their homes many
of the old veterans wrote articles to
their local newspapers telling of their
treatment at Dawson during the re-
union, and without exception they
declare it was the best in the history
of the organization. Judge A. G..
Harris, the ordinary of Henry coun-
ty, said in the McDonough Weekly:
Gotten have l wondered how it
was you found such an excellent
wife-and now the explanation has
been explained.
"The reception given the Confed-
crate veterans at their annual state
reunion in Dawson last week was the
most magnificent and thoroughly en-
joyed we have ever yet, among our
many splendid occasions, experienced
and l desire with the entire Henry
county delegation to add to that OF
the universal expressions my person
al appreciation, but realize an utter
lack of language to do so.
"Never have we met more royal
people, with genuine warm welcome
and lavish hospitality, and so long as
life lasts can we ever forget their
many acts of kindness and courteous
attentions.
''It would be a pleasure to give de-
tailed account of the various attract
i've entertainments which consumed
the entire time, but lack of space and
inability prevent. Hardly can it be
expected that the Dawson reunion
will ever again be equaled.
ITO the good people of Dawson and
the matchless county of Terrell the
Confederate veterans of Georgia are
under inexpressible gratitude, and
may they enjoy the best of every
thing they so richly deserve.
"For every detail of arrangement
and complete success the entire man
agement receive highest credit. And
the writer cannot close this brief ref
erence without an expression of per
sonal gratitude to Mr.. j. c. Hol-
lingsworth, and his charming. wife
and children, at whose home it was
our pleasure to be domiciled during
the stay.
Goodbye, one and all, and
towns may come and towns may go,
but may Dawson go on forever"
