hazards of snowslides. This was set tied by the postoffice department fix ing the compensation by trips instead of on term contracts.
 The Alaska mail difficulty seems to have arisen through the unwilling ness of the postoffice department to make allowances for pioneer condl- tions and the winter hazards Of the mail service, and in it's insistence in pcnalizing carriers for conditions that were beyond their power to control. The Seattle Chamber of Commerce" and Commercial Club, MT. McPherson, manager of the Alaska bureau. Sen ators Poindexter and Jones, and va rious other individuals and agencies have been interested in the project of taking Alaska mails out of the freight service. but have not sue cccdcd in getting the postof1ice de partmcnt interested to a similar cN- tent. though they are still striving in hope.
 With the war out of the way, and Alaska approaching a period of de vclopment, the cumbersome and ir- regular service of mali by freight will be an increasing inconvenience. There is no reason why intelligent business men in official apd private life should not get together and agree upon some equitable and fair basis for civilized mail service The people and busi- ness interests in Alaska, and those outside who are interested in Alaska are not concerned with any quarrcls between government and carriers, but nevertheless they are the chief sui fcrers. and they are very properly ar guing now for relief from conditions that are working against their inter ests and the welfare and development of the great Northern territory.

ALASKA MAIL BY FREIGHT

The experimental flights directed by the government in pursuance of its plans for extending the mail service by air routes have moved a number of Alaskans to write to the Post-ln- tellgonCor. suggesting that Alaska mail scrvic" might be considerably improved by surface routes pending further experiments in the ether. For some time past Alaska has been receiving its mail by freight. with service by gasoline boats on some i'm pOrtant short lines, making for an ir- regular and slow service, and in some instances leaving important distrihut- ing terminals. like Skagway without any mail for three weeks al time.
 Differences between tn" pOstOftiCe department and the steamship lines in the Alaska trade are said to have led to an abandonment of the fast mail service. There was no quarrel as to compensation, but the carriers objected to the disposition of the gov ernment to penalize them for irregu- larities of service. unavoidable in the pioneer conditions and the eXigencies of Alaska winter weather. Carriers assert that they were making every effort to serve the government accord ing to schedule. and where failures occurred they were due to conditions of weather that no human agency could ov"rcimc. The imposition of penalties for these failures cut down the compensation for carriage to such q hEur" that it was no longer q busi- ness proposition. and inability of the carriers to agree with the postoffiCe department resulted in the shifting of the mail to the freight service. The postOffice department had similar diff fcrenCes with the Alaska railroad commission because the latter would not guarantee mail trips on the gov ernment railroad through the winter

Peterson Will Play
Against Drake.

Coach John F. Miller announced to-
day that Missouri's promising back
field man, Peterson, who has been out
of the game most of the season with a
broken thumb, will play in the Drake
game Saturday. Peterson had a good
record at William Jewell before en-
tering the University of Missouri and
has been picked by Miller as one OF
several men who can fill the position
of quarter with credit during the 1918
season.
The only other Tiger player still
out of the game is Hardin, who was
looked to by Miller as sure placer
for line position this year. Hardin
has his arm out of a sling now and
will be able to run signals with the
team all week, but will not get into any
of the Tiger games before November.

Shorty" Forester, who is known to
be one of the real gamers in the Tiger
squad, has had bad luck with fumbles
and according to the coach has not
mastered the business of falling on the
ball yet. 1t was snap-back from
Kolb to Forester, missed by Forres-
ter, although Kolb shared the blame,
that came near costing Missouri tie

Travis Big Tackle
As Seen By Miller.

dig
As Seen By Miller.
An interesting sidelight on Satur-
days game is Coach John Miller's
story of how he saw the great tackle
made by Travis in the last half of the
game. Il saw the ball snapped back
to Forester" said Miller yesterday in
talking of the game. "And l saw him
fail. The next thing l could see was
five red sweaters and l looked for one
black but it wasn't there. l saw Den
field speed off, and just turned my
head, cause l didn't want to see. Then,
all of a sudden 1 heard someone yell
and 1 turned to see that Travis had
him down. No, I'll never forget these
two. or three minutes, I'm sure"
Travis and Hardin were team mates
on the freshman team Miller coached
in 1917, and he prophesied then that
they would be star Tigers some day.
Back in those days the Varsity knew"
said Miller yesterday, that they
couldn't get through when Travis and
Hardin were around. Travis has
played all-valley football so far this
season, and he deserves the greatest
credit for his work Saturday"
