In speaking of the needs of pov erty-stricken family of our acquaint- ance, a friend once said to me, in shocked and disappearing tones, "Aad they have pianol Think of 4, d piano! And those seven children have not enough to eat. and are al ways needing help. think that fam fly deserves no help and no synpa- thy. 4 piano, Of all things.'
 Fortunate children!" replied. "Perhaps the piano makes them for get the lack of food and coal and keeps them off the streets. mu3t call and see that piano" which lid, forthwith
 I could scarcely conceal my aston shment at the transformation in this erstwhile home of poverty and un- cleanliness.

CANADIAN ORDERS ARE WORTH FULL FACE VALUE

To correct wrong impression that seems 10 have become prevalent in regards to payments Of Canadian money orders, the Third Assistant Postmaster General has sent out d bulletin to all postmasters with tho assurance that Canadian orders drawn on the United States are paid for their full face value and Ameri- can orders are similarly paid in Can ada.
 Explaining the situation, Postmas- ter z. M. Bradford of this city said today:
 AS an illustration, a person pur- chasing money order on the United States for $100 would pay consd- erable more than that amount il Canada and> in some cases this might amount to as high as SIP, accord ing to the difference at the time thlt the. order was drawn. To secure q $100 money order in the United States the amount would be s100 on the order, but the person receiv- ing it in Canada would receive more than that amount. The total would depend on the rate furnished that day by the Postal Department of Canada to it's agents.
 Bankers and business men in this country can accept Canadian money orders with the assurance that they will receive from the post office of redemption United States money for the full value as written on the face of the order"

It is the greatest step yet taken for the opening lip and development of Alaska Con- currently with the construction, q scheme of colonization and oth CT broad policies should have been de- yeloped, but the World War diverted attention from Alaska Now it comes doubly imperative with the comple ton of the railroad to make it eas- fer for both capital and people to secure foothold in the Territory A smplified system of government. with the administration brought close home to Alaska, as is contem- plated in pending legislation at Washington, will expedite all this Colonel Mears and his associates have done a notable work in building the railroad through a wilderness. It is to this northern country as full of significance as the building of the Panama Canal in the other part of the world"
 The formal opening of the railroad will he celebrated throughout the Territory. Fairbanks is taking the initiative for such a celebration It is hoped and believed President Harding will be the central figure in the celebration by visiting Alaska and making trip over the entire line golden spike will be driven in commemoration of the complete of the project
 Difficulties Exaggerated
 Governor Bone, wno made trip over the Northern Division from Fair banks to Nenana soon after his ar rival, and recently inspected the road from Seward to the then end of steel at Mile 306, says his observations were most gratifying and reassur. ing. He found that the difficulties regarding the Seward division told Alaska Northern) had been greatly exaggerated. While 1t may be i'm. possible, as is claimed, to haul heavy
  tonnage over that section, the diffi- culties, he said, are certainly no greater than those encountered by transcontinental roads through noun. tain districts in the States Practi- cal railroad men who have gone over the line are unit in pronouncire it a magnificent piece of construction, comparable with any railroad any where. Inasmuch as the port at An chorage is open seven or eight months in the year. coal tonnage will naturally find its outlet there; and, if necessary. this port can be kent open the year round by use Of ice breakers, meanwhile the Seward branch will always serve a useful purpose as passenger route and for carrying lighter tonnage
 Coal Development Progressing
 Simultaneously with the building of the railroad. the development of the coal fields in the Matanuska dis trict has made great progress. The mine at Eska, operated by the Al askan Engineering Commission. rro- duced all the coal needed by the rail road and a sufficient quantity is now

nitely, to await the receipt of more
gravel, had not Mr. Sealy, then May
or. sold to them to the sum Of ST.,
937 90 which was paid for by their
check. This check was enormously
deposited to the credit Of Main st.,
Repair Fund, but in making my re-
port of March 21st, 1921, covering
the status of the different funds be
longing to the City, this erroneous
deposit was disclosed, and thereafter
corrected, by the issuance Of check
against the Main Street Repair Fund,
which check was deposited to the
credit of Dollar Front Foot Fund.
After this correction is made, and
eliminating the regular pay rolls as
hereinabove mentioned, and elnnlna-
ting the aggregate charges against
the Light, Power & Water Plant, the
following statement would be correct,
| with reference to this fund:
Original Deposit .......... $1,000 90
Disbursements:
J Engineering Expenses ..,.S 100 %
Gravel, etc. ............... 800 90

ale gravel purchased by
| Richie Bros. ......... 1877 Is
Net Disbursements .....$3, 172 0S
Amount that should remain

pair Fund .............Sl ,327 81
This should have been the correct
balance in this fund as of March p
1921. Mr.. LaSalle has had repair
work done on East Main ST., since
his advent in office, to the approx
mate amount, he informs me, OF a
bout $3.50. co. This would leave bal
ance in this fund of something neal
$1,000. 90.
This fund was created for the pur
poses hereinbefore shown, and Ger
tainly should not be transferred t.
and depleted by any other fund. Tho
users of East Main Street have the
right to expect this fund to be use'
for the repair and putting in condi
ton of this street as far as it is pos
sible to do so with the available
funds, and to expect that the fund
be not used for any other purpose.
| am calling your attention to thl
} matter, so that you may investigate
and if found as stated herein, trans
fers of funds may be made so tina
this fund may have available the a
: mount that it should have.
