the remote Aland Islands. where

the Aland Islands:
For more than 200 years the
Aland Islands. which are situated
Ike cork in the wide mouth OF
the Gulf OF Bothnia. have been a
sort of Alsace-Lorraine question be-
tween the Swedes and the Russians.
After having passed back and forth
several times, they were finally
coded TO Russia in 1909. During
the reign OF Nicholas l they were
strongly fortified, a move most dis
tasteful 10 Sweden because the is
lands occupy a strong strategic po-
sition with respect to Stockholm, the
Swedish capital, which is less than
100 miles to the southwest from
Bomarsund, the chief fertilization
of the islands.
These Notifications were short

war, a Franco British fleet, under

after that time the islands were left

G0L0VIN HERRING PACK
 IS SMALL FOR SEASON

NOME. Oct 19.--The first ship ment of this years pack of salted herring to reach the local market from GOlOVin arrived on the Arctic Chester plant and were packed by the Scotch cure method of mild salting. The herring run this year has been considerably lighter than usual but that the fish averaged somewhat larger than last year. The salmon run was also smaller than last year. Owing to the failure to dispose of last years big pack be- cause of the influx of cheaper for eign herring, there is little outside demand for the Alaska fish at pres ent and t resultant wide curtailment of the local pack this year. Only relatively small number engaged in the business this year as a result of this contingency and the output will probably be several hundred barrels less than last year. It is said that large part of the pack sent out last fall is still unsold as a re- suit of the outside market being flooded with cheaper priced fish from Europe.
 In the opinion of those who are competent to judge. Nome herring is superior to any found elsewhere. But for the remoteness of outside markets and high transportation charges preventing the fish being sold on equal terms with the foreign product, there is not doubt that they would speedily supplant either the Scotch or Norwegian herring in popular favor.

BETTER WINTER MAIL
 SERVICE IS PREDICTED

A wide improvement in the winter mail service between Nome and the states is presaged in a report turned in E% the mail committee Cf the last meeting of that body, says the Nugget
 The committee reported that there is an excellent prospect that the time of mail deliveries to Nome next winter will be shortened b. about three weeks as a result of the awarding of new mail contract be- tween Nenana and the lower coast.
 The government it appears has cancelled the Brewer contract and awarded a new contract to the Alas railroad commission under the di- rection of which the government rail raod is being constructed between Nenana and Seward. Under the new arrangements the mails will be rout- ed via Seward to the rail head north of Anchorage. From that point it will be carried by team to Nenana or to rail head on the Nenana eX- tension of the railroad line where the latter section of the road is open. The new route will cover a lesser distance than the old route over the Valdez trail and can be covered in much faster time owing to the railroad which now extends to point considerably north of Anchorage.
 Prom this data pertaining to the change received by the committee, the members expect that the first overland mail from the states will arrive during November and will be followed by others at weekly in tervals during the winter period

REINDEER COMPANY
 FORMED AT NOME

The Alaska Reindeer Packing com. pany, an organization composed en- tirely of Nome people, is the latest development in the reindeer indus try in that section. J. J.

 The company is incorporated un- der the laws of Alaska with a capi- talization of $2,5O0000, divided into 25,000 shares of a par value of SlOO per share. The new concern has acquired between nine and ten thous- and head of reindeer in the Kusko- kyim section near Bethel which will form the nucleus of it's future herds. This herd is said to include substan- tiaily all the reindeer in the Kus- kokwim country, aside from a few small herds belonging to natives.

USED TO MOVE IN =
SPRING; NOW FOLKS
ONLY REARRANGE

Spring housekeeping in Richmond
this year is different from that Of
seasons gone by.
Formerly energetic housewives tore
up carpets, took down pictures, moved
the piano and cleaned things in gener-
al, then packed up and awaited the
moving van to drive up and move them
to different house. A few short years
ago it was considered proper to move
with the coming of spring.
Today trying to find a rentable
house is like trying to get line on old
bonded liquor-hard to get for any
money.
The housewives will not be cheated

by's life miserable, for according to

paint and paper is being purchased
this year than in history.
viii Just Change Furniture.
This evidently means that the good
wives are contenting themselves with
changing furniture, beating carpets
and putting fresh paper and paint on
the houses.
L. M. Hayes, of a wall paper COM
rany, says that wall paper has ad-
vanced rs per cent this year over last
seasons prices. But he also says the
demand for the high price paper is
greater than in the history of his bust
ness. He has been in business in Rich
mond for seven years and last month
was the record breaking one Of all.

anyone who has made common

hint that this creed will find a

comfort where ignorance Of its
