Much complaint is being heard In
Tensas parish because Of the very
poor mail service we are now hay
ing over the M. H. & L. railroad,
due largely to the very imperfect
and inadequate transfer at Natchez.
It not infrequently happens that the
mail out of Natchez misses con-
nection at Vidalia or at Ferriday,
thus depriving US of the mail that
day. As instance Of this trouble, we
will mention that no Natchez mail
came on Sunday, the mail Of that
day arriving Monday, but the Mon
day mail did not come, due to anoth-
er misconnection, but the Monday
mail came Tuesday, but the Tues
day mail did not arrive on account
Of REPETITION of the same misconnec-
ton, bud did come Wednesday, and
since then the service has been bet
ter. The trouble may or may not
lie entirely with the Natchez trans
fer. 1t has been intimated that to
hardness Of railroad employees at
Natchez in arriving at their post Of
duty in the early morning hours is
due some Of our trouble. We do not
know just where the trouble lies,
whether it be in belatedness on part
Of crew or inefficient transfer quip-
ment, or if the cause Of the frequent
misconceptions can be attributed to
other source. But whatever it is we
Of this section are among the inno-
cent sufferers and we earnestly
appeal to the post-office department
to enquire into the trouble and cor
rect same. We also appeal to our
esteemed contemporary, the Nat
chez Democrat, for assistance in
remedying this nuisance. As has been
frequently stated in these columns,
the Natche Democrat is the morning
news messenger awaited in this SEC
ton, being the first morning paper
to enter Tensas parish. The large
circulation it enjoys here evidences
the appreciation we have for this
paper. When we fail to get the
Democrat upon arrival Of train dis
appointment is felt by all. Every
misconnection at Ferriday means
delay Of one day in getting the Dem
ocrat. Therefore the people Of this
parish appeal to the Matches Demo-
crat to cali to the attention Of the
post-office department the trouble
here referred to 80 frequently &C.
curing with our mail service out
of that city.

With the approach Of the Xmas
holidays preparations are rapidly
being made by teachers and pupils
alike for home coming and home
going. Those away from here are
looking eagerly forward to the visit
home and those here who live away
are also counting the days when they
can gather round the Preside and
greet again loved ones from whom
they have been separated the past
several months. It often requires
sepafation to cause US to properly
appreciate those whom we love most,
and happily absence. often buries
personal animosities in the delight
of the home coming.
Mr.. Paul C. Fletcher. vice-prcsi-
dent of the Southland Lumber Co.,
Of Memphis, Tenn, left on Friday

Tenn, and while away will also Wis

business, returning to St. Joseph

Co. has q contract with Mr.. F.
Spruill for the entire output Of his
mill on "Justina," which has daily
capacity Of about $1,000 feet. A
new mill Of about $4,000 #. capac-
ity will be erected on "Crimea" IN
early part Of 1923. The timber con-
tracted for on these two properties,
amounting to some 20-odd million
feet, will keep the two mills busy
for an indefinite period.

Republicans have accomplished The total ap- preparations for 1922 were $4,066,00000O and those for 1923, $3747 ,000,000, showing reduc- tion of $319,00O,000 Those figures are inn pres8ive enough but the fact is that shortly after the beginning of the fiscal year 1922 the Treasury estimated that the expenditures for that year would reach $4 ,554, 1000, ,O00. At the end of the year 1t was found that they had actually amounted to but $3, ,795 100000, a di- rect and actual saving of $759,OO0,O00 due solely to the budget system and the determina- ton of President Harding and the Republi can Congress to make every possible saving in the taxpayers money. By the application of the same methods of retrenchment, it is ex- pected that even the appropriations for 1923, reduced as they are, will be left with neX- pended balances at the end of the year.
 The most marked reduction in the appro nriations this year under those of last is in the line of national defense. For 1922, the mil itary and naval appropriations totaled $763 100000, while for 1923 they are $550,00O000 a saving of $213,000000. Much of that econ omy is directly due to the results of the Wash ington conference called by President Hard ing to reduce naval armaments.
 Tn spite of the most rigid economy revealed by those figures, big reductions in the na- tona debt have been achieved. At the be ginning of the fiscal year 1922 the debt stood at $23,977, ,OOO,O00 and at the end of the year it had dropped to $22963, ,OO0,0OO a reduc- tion cf $1014, 100000.
 The object aimed at in thus cutting expen- ditures to the bone was reduction in the tax burden on the people. As soon as the econo- mics were put into effect they were translat- ed into reduced taxes. and during the calendar year 1921 $8O00O,O00 is estimated to have been saved the taxpayers. In the present cal endar year the total saving to the people in taxes will reach $85OOOO,OOO. Further savings of the same sort will follow in succeeding years

TOURIST ROUTES TO FAIRBANKS

The Times published recently an editorial lamentation from Fairbanks paper, ln winch was voiced protest against the present lack of travel facilities between Fairbanks and Dawson, the complaint being made that Can idian transportation companies were succeed ing in retaining tourist travel on the Yukon side of the border largely because the trans portation means beyond that point made travel unpleasant and inconvenient.
 There are more ways of reaching the inter- for of Alaska than over the Canadian route. There are railways and automobile highways feeding in from Alaskan ports, any one of which offers scenic advantages and travel facilities greater than those of the Canadian route The only reason why the considerable proportion of tourist travel from the States goes in by way of the White Pass and Yukon is that the Canadian steamship and railway lines indulge in considerably more advertising than do the Alaskan companies. It IS notor- ious that the Canadian steamships running between Seattle and Skagway are for better equipped for the comfort and enjoyment of passengers than those of the American lines, and the fact that many tourists in the belief that they are ''seeing Alaska,' go to Skagway, thence to Dawson and no farther, is due merely to their own lack of informa- tion as to the Alaska that lies to the westward of these points Naturally, the Canadian lines are not interested in informing them Having got them as far as Dawson, they have nothing more to gain by furtherng the tourists jour- ney
 The answer is obvious. Alaskan towns and American transportation companies need to pursue an aggressive policy in the matter ot attracting tourist travel Tourist routes should be laid out, travel facilities should be i'm proved, and then concerted advertising pol icv should be followed Our Fairbanks friends do not need to look toward Canada for their visitors. The routes through Cordova and Val deg over the railway and automobile trails are the logical ways by which Fairbanks should be reached. They are the natural feeders to the Government Railway, whence the traveller may proceed south to Anchorage and Seward. thus completing an encircling tour unsur- passed in it's interest and beauty and afford ing comprehensive and thorough view of the varied sections of Alaska. All that is needed IS cooperation between Alaskan towns and trans nortation companips in the matter of improV- in@ facilities and advertising them.
 To this end the completion of the Richard son Hiehwav. strongly advocated by James Galen in yesterdays Times, is matter of vital importance The need of cooperation among Alaskan towns in the matter of getting ap- propriations for the continuance of this work is imperative The sooner the interior and coast towns realize this and get together on a def mite campaign, the sooner will their lament as to the tourist situation be relieved.
