MIKE CASSIDY MADE
 PROHI. OFFICER OF STATE

Mike" Cassidy, for so he is better known to thousands of friends and ac- quaintances throughout the state, was notified of his selection and appoint ment Saturday night. Senator Ralph E.. Cameron wired the Bisbee man asking him to accept the work. Mike" accepted.
 A teetotaler is Mike Cassidy and yet he is not a prohibitionist in the sense of being a violent "dry" advocate. A liberal in issues such as prohibition, he is one of the most active of stick lers for law enforcement. That will be his creed and his ambition in his new work.
 Mike Cassidy never took drink in his life. He smokes occasionally, but this is not habit with him. He has often remarked to friends that while he never touched liquor, he has felt that what other men did was their business and not his. In many con versations regarding the prohibition amendment he has expressed himself as being in favor of rigid enforce ment of it. While he has refused to be committed on his policy in office on the ground that he is not familiar with it's duties and details, his friends believe he will look for big game in the violation of the law.--Douglas In ternational.

PARCEL POST MUCH
 CHEAPER THAN EXPRESS

Many people do not realize how ex- tensively Uncle Sam has gone into the package carrying business. Not that all the things sent by parcel post are in packages, but that branch of the postal service Is often called package business in distinction from the letter and newspaper mails.
 Only the other day one of the local automobile dealers received 81 big tires parcel post from Phoenix. Bags of potatoes, suitcases, hundreds of other commodities are now sent thru the Flagstaff post office that former ly were expressed.
 There are two reasons why Uncle Sam is getting this business. One is that it is far cheaper to ship parcel post than express. Another is the promptness with which claims for lost or damaged goods are paid by the post office department, a delicious contrast to the experience one has who tries to collect from an express company, whose motto usually is tc bluff you out if they can, and, if they can't to involve the matter in so much red tape that you will finally give ur in disgust.
 About the comparative costs of ex. press and parcel post shipping: IT the first and second zones-the second zone taking in Phoenix, Winslow Holbrook and nearly all of the rest ot the state, parcel post costs about 7t per cent less than express. This is fact little realized by most people but it is fact, just the same. The Sun has had frequent illustrations O, it. In the third zone, which takes ir the most remote points in the state and a lot of several surrounding states, the saving by parcel post il about 50 per cent.
 In each of the first three zones q package weighing as much as 7( pounds can be sent parcel post. Fifty pounds is the maximum limit beyond the third zone. The size, in any zone is limited to 84 inches. That is, the length the longest way, plus the cir. conference at right angles to the length, together must not exceed 84 inches.

BOUND TO OPEN UP ARIzONA'S
 GREAT NORTH STRIP

Lorum Pratt Jr., accompanied by Jerry May, A. F. Jensen and Thos. P Jenkins, of Fredonia, were in Flag staff the first of the week. The party accompanied Mir. Jenkins as witnesses in securing his final naturalization pa pers. Mir. Pratt says they made the trip around by Lees Ferry in an auto to Flagstaff in sixteen hours actual running time.
 "There are many homesteaders com ing into the old strip north of the Canyon" declared MT. Pratt, "and are settling on lands in the surveyed sec ton to the west in Mohave county; there isn't any surveyed over our way so that it can be filed on, but l know of one family from the southern part of the state, who are doing good for themselves right now. The father is a one-armed man who came up from the Salt River valley, and in twenty days plowed up and planted forty acres to corn. That corn is now up about four feet high with splendid outlook for good crop. The people over this side of the Canyon do not know whole lot about conditions over there and are often afraid to recom- mend prospective settlers making a trip there to settle. I agree that they should know where they are going and should be in touch with people over there who do know conditions, but for those who have some idea of what con ditions they must meet, it isn't such a bad country and we hope to see much of the country settled up within the next few years" he said.
 There is no question but the north strip will be a great country someday in the near future.

SKAGWAY OVERLOOKED

The recent legislature had up for consideration the construction and maintenance of an orphans home for Alaskan children. During the time the matter was up, Wrangell thru it's mayor and town council made q strong bid to have the Home placed in that town. Claiming,-and one wonders at it-that Wrangell had all the advantages 10 be desired for such a home. All that is passed at the present but if it should come to the attention of the legislature again without question Skagway will be heard in the matter. That we have the site. the climate and the town for a home of that kind is too well known 10 need any argument, When is comes 10 location, town site, and suitability for something of that character Skagway has all the other towns in s. F. Alaska backed off the map. There are only two places where it would be reasonable to put such home, and those two places are Haines and Skagway. This end of the Panhandle has not asked for much from the Territory and no one will say that it has been given any thing. but gracious Providence has certainly given Us more in the way of genial skies and summer sun. and other things which go to make up a pleasant town than any other places in s. F.. Alaska.

Great Bunch
 Caribou Seen
 Midnight Dome Thousands of the Animals Gam bol About In Full
 View of Dawson. ATTRACT MUCH ATTENTION Fine Yukon Nature Scene For The Movie Cam
 era Man.
ATTRACT MUCH ATTENTION

A vast herd of caribou was seen from the streets of Dawson this morning. The animals were moving about the Midnight Dome and just above the slide of rock under which as tradition says, an Indian village lies buried. It was difficult at first glance to get tue true magnitude of the herd, but when the eye got the range. as it were, the crown of the hill and the hollow between the two domes. as well as the hillsides, re vealed q scene that, as it delighted the eye of the old sour-dOugh and Dawsonite. would make the Chee- chako tourist stand in wonder. Look ing up from Front street, near the \. c. corner, the caribou could be seen gathered on the bare slope, descending toward the rock slide in great body. Here, caught in the flash of the morning sun, the animals looked like uumberless sheep.
 Billy Rendell, the surveyor, got a bead on the bunch with his transit from the corner of Second avenue and King street, and then it turned out that. instead of there being simply a large herd, there were several nerds. From the ditch to the summit and extending all along the base of the hill. in the shaded spruce groves. where the snow still lies deep, and up the bare and rocky sides 10 the skyline, the hill was alive with caribou,
 Sourdough Paul Guite, who said that Ee had seen only one live cari- bou in all his life, got q splendid view and now has a better idea of what the Yukon possesses in the way of livestock and tourist attrac- tiors than he had before breakfast.

PRESIDENT HARDING'S TEST

President Harding is a wise mas ter builder. A keener judge of men than men have given him credit for. By his adroit handling of the Goveruship case of Alaska he has shifted the whole weight of respOu- sibility on Alaskans. and still kept free hand 10 do as wisdom die tateS. He has, by his pOstponing of appointment of a Governor, made it apparent that if Alaskans want an Alaskan as governor it is up to them % decide upon some man from the Territory who will receive the hear ty support and cooperation of the people who live here. and if such cooperation and support is not possi- ble then he will have for the term of the next governor. taken the sting out of any criticism which may be levied at the man whom he shall ap- point as Governor.
 We'll done. Mir. President! If our leaders cannot get together on a good candidate We do not deserve having the honor of having an Alas kan for Governor This may be hard test. but it is eminently fair one and the one best calculated to put up to Alaskans in q square and solid way the sanity and reasonable ness of their contention for a Gov ernOr who is an Alaskan. Can We put up a man on whom we can com bine and with whom all can cooper ate and work? It remains to be seen.

GREAT RESERVOIR OF SAL
 MON CREEK BEING EMITTED

Colorado brook trout planted in the Salmon creek dam. and now sev- eral inches long. are being ground up in the waterwheel for the con- pressor plant which supplies the AL aska-Castiueau Company with eiec- tricity.
 The reason for the trout escaping is the fact that the great reservoir dam IS the lowest in it's history, the gauge showing approximately 20 feet of water. while the lowest hereto fore has been 40 feet. Owing to the break in the Annex Creek power line it has been necessary to throw an extra burden OH the Salmon creek dam to supply q Q needs of the min ing company.
 There is no screen against the pipe leading out of the lower part of the dam and there is no way to put one in. Should present conditions con- tinue the lake soon will be cleaned of trout. It has been suggested that members of the Alaska Fish & Game club might sein the fish and then turn them loose in the creek below the dam. which would save them from being ground up on the water whccl.--EX.
