sOn Wednesday last the McGrath Commercial Club sent the following telegram to Delegate Sutherland, at Washington:
 -'Dan Sutherland,
 Delegate From Alaska,
 Washington, D. C.:
 "Has anything been done. regarding mail service next winter? We strongly protesSagainst aud condemn the route via Ruby. Direct service from the railresd by the short route would meet with our heartiest approval. !It would mean a savisg of from two to four weeks in time. Answer collect

 The following reply has been re cceiyed from Delegate Sutherland by the McGrath Commercial Club: "McGrath Commercial Club,
 McGrath:
 ''Proposals for bids are now out, July first, nineteen tweLty-two, to June thirty, nineteen twentysix. This would not give service this winter, but I am making strong effort to have spe- cial or emergency contract let this winter. Have filed map with depart ment showing differences in routes. Believe they understand situation thoroughly.
 ."DAN SUTHERLAND,
 Delegate From Alaska"
 The reply from Delegate Sutherland would indicate that there IS DO positive assurance of mail service. over the Rainy Pass route the coming winter. However, the statement of She Dele gate that he is making a strong effort to obtain a special or emergency ser vice is most hopeful. Ee favors this route strongly, realizes the needs of the people here for better mail ser vice, and it goes without saying that he will use every effort possible. to- ac- complish that purpose.

Drink Less Booze
But Eat More Pie

One of the effects of Prohibition is
described thus by the New York Sun:
Apparently pastry is the substi-
tute for liquor. Since the days OF
Prohibition its consumption has in
creased 80 l-3 per cent some dealers
say.
THE chef of one large New York
hotel formerly had daily pastry
record of 5000 pieces. Now it has
risen to 5000. In these days OF Pro-
hibition he serves those who dine on
his fare with more than $4,000 pieces
OF pastry a week, and his annual rec
ord borders on the three million mark
This high-priced chef who has
risen to a salary of five figures on
wing OF French pastry, asserts that
the American business man and not
his wife is the worlds most famous
pastry eater"

Dry Law Helps
Hotel Business
Instead of Losses Have Many Gains

Hotels were supposed to have been
hard hit by the Prohibition regime.
Now, according TO the president OF
the Southern Interstate Hotel Asso-
citation, most hotel proprietors would
not go back to the unrestricted sale
OF liquor if they could. Very few
OF them would like 10 see even the
sale OF beer and light wines resumed
He adds: "The most rabid proporf-
ents OF liquor admit their business is
much more easily conducted since
John Barleycorn was laid to rest"
The illicit distribution of liquor to
hotel patrons, at first quite trouble.
some, is being reduced steadily.
Prohibition has benefited the ma
tons hostelries in two ways. In the
first place, most proprietors decided
to improve their side lines, such as
barber shops, candy and magazine
stands and souvenir sales. To their
surprise they found that these side
issues brought in a much larger profit
than their bars had returned formerly.
The second benefits is i'll the opera
ton of the hotels, which is much
easier and less expensive under Pro-
hibition regime. The handling OF
guests and the management OF EN-
ployes have both improved. There
are fewer parties at late hours, re-
quiring large force of employees.
Guests are less querulous. Breakage
OF equipment is lessened. Employees
themselves are more reliable and
efficient
Patrons, too, are gamers under the
dry rule, for efficient employees mean
improved service. In the old days
the public paid indirectly for the in
efficiency, the extra large corps Of
employees and the breakage bills. Ho-
tel costs are higher now than the
public likes or believes necessary, but
one hotel proprietor says they are
lower than they would be had liquor
remained on sale.-Jacksonville CHI

CELEBRATED new YORK
SALOON CLOSES DOORS
Twenty-Four Years Ago Joint
Opened With Great Blare of
Trumpets and Splendor
ELEGANTLY APPOINTED
Closing Scenes Spectacular; First
Patron of Bar Is Also
the Last


The New York Tribune of June l
records the closing of saloon which
on opening day June l, 1907, was de-
scribed as the "grandest saloon south
OF 18th street" New York City.
This place was often used as a Tam
many workshop. 1t was founded by
Senators Tom Foley and Florrie
Sullivan.
The Tribune story gives an elabo-
rate account OF opening day twenty

rounding the place were choked with

came ont 10 witness the grand open

was William Sport Hallahan, "a
true New Yorker His crisp ten
dollar bill was the first to pass the
bar. 1t was exchanged for cham
payne which went TO the crowd that
lined the mahogany that June morn
ing twenty-four years ago. The
Tribune story continues:
I'VE will now turn the crank
twenty-four times. That brings us to

and respondent bas has suffered 1t

"Sport Hallahan, moro dappcr and

and man-about-town. is standing be
fore the cracked onyx rail that guards
the time-worn mahogany. With glass
held aloft he drinks final toast and
says something. I bought the first,
drink in this place when it opened
twenty-four years ago. am now
buying the last as it closes its doors
forever
Oils voice could hardly be heard
above the noise the unsentimental
carpenters were making as they tore
out brutality the fixtures that once had
been the pride OF Tom Foley's heart
and the JOY OF Sullivan's existence.
Sport Hallahan paid for the last drink
and then threw down a ten-spot, as
crisp and new and smooth as the one
he had passed over the same bar
quarter Of century before. I'll take
that bill up there he said. pointing
to the ten that could hardly be seen

but nevertheless just as effectively

their closing new era of prosperity
and happiness was ushered in for I'M
