Rainy Pass Route.

That the roadbouses along the trail connecting the Upper Kuskokwim val ley to the Alaska railroad will shut down in the near future unless the mall for that district is routed that way instead of over Broad Pass, down the Tanana and Yukon rivers and over the Innokts trail, is indicated by ad- vices received in Juneau by Major J. c. Gotwals, of the Alaska Road Com mission. The shutting down of these roadhouses, it is ssated, would result in the virtual cessation of all travel over the Rainy Pass.trail from the railroad to MoGrath, and thesentire Knskokwim dlstriat.
 Major Gotwals states that the pres ent routing of mails means loss Of time and delay to the people, of the Upper Kuskokwim of P days. The McGrath-to- railroad trail, he advises, is we'll laid out and in fair condtion.- Valdez Miner.

STAMP MYSTERY
TURNED OVER TO
POLICE TO SOLVE

Vienna. - A blue Nautilus
stamp mystery has been turned over
70 the police for solution. The
story goes that a group of men
were discussing stamp collections
IN q coffee house in the industrial
suburb of Weiner Neustadt when
this dream OF the philatelist was
mentioned.
"A car painter in the crowd asked
why 1t was so valuable and when
told, replied: "Why, I had an an
cestor in Mauritius who wrote to
the family regularly. We have
bundles Of his letters" He went
70 his house and when the envel-
opes we're examined one Of the
rare stamps was found.
The local philatelic society pro-
nounced il genuine, whereupon the
finders new friends got a motor
car and took him from place to
place to sell 1t.
He admits he does not remember
Just what happened but when he
finally refused an offer Of several
hundred thousand crowns his
stamp was given back. He took it
to experts who said 1t was forg-
cry. Stamp experts are assisting
the police in uncovering the mys-
terry.
The blue Mauritius" stamp is
one Of the worlds philatelic prizes
and commands high price among
stamp collectors throughout the
world. One Of the explanations of
its rarity 10 to the effect that al
most the entire issue of blue
stamps seLt from Great Britain to
Mauritius was lost in a storm.
