FROM KANTISHNA
 SAY MAIL SERVICE IS BAD

Arrivals from the Kantishna dis trict are authority for the state ment that there is much complaint among the miners of that region against the mail service provided for them this summer. There was a mailless period of about two months, between the arrival of the last winter mail and the first sum- mer mail and, it is contended, there is no assurance of regularity during the remainder of the season.
 Under the terms of the summer contract the carrier may leave Ne mana at his own pleasure, so long as the required number of deliveries are made during the season. This ar engagement, while advantageous to the carrier, is decidedly unsatis- factory to the people of the Kan tishna, who have no way of know ing when a mail Is likely to arrive. Many of them are located from twenty to thirty miles distant from the kantishna postofice and several of them made the long journey from their camps last month, only to find that no mail had arrived. and the postmaster could not inform when the carrier would arrive One outfit was compelled :., send a mes senger all the way to Fairbanks for mail, involving heavy expense and much loss of time
 Kantishnaites are not asking for more frequent trips than the de- partment feels able to provide for them, but they do feel that they have a right to some kind ot regu- larity in the matter of delivery, so that they can time then trips to the postoffice.

NEW SPUR WILL DEVELOP
 HEALY'S GREAT COAL SEAMS

Convinced of the value of the immense coal seams on Healy river as a producer of tonnage for the Alaska Railroad, the Alaskan En- gineering Commission has decided to expend upwards of S20O,OO0 in the construction of spur track and bridge in order that the coal may be made accessible at all seasons of the year. Contracts already have been let for grading and it is expect ed that the four miles of new track will be ready for use before the end of summer.
 The spur, which will 2onl3ct with the main line at Healy, will extend up Healy river to the coal lease of the Healy River Coal corporation, said to contain some of the largest deposits of Ignite coal in ;he world. Mining operations were started there during the last winter and a large amount of coal was taken put be- fore the spring thaw compelled a partial suspension of activities be- cause of the lack of adequate trans portation facilities. Sufficient work had been done, however, 70 demon strate the value of the .oal and the need of track connection with the main line of the Alaska Railroad. And it was not long sfterward be- fore engineers were on the ground making the necessary suryeyc. The major portion of the cost cf build ing the spur will be assumed ty the railroad organization, but the coal company will he required to put up S30,000 as its share as evi- dence of good faith.
 Since the commencement of min ing operations on Healy river, the Healy River Coal corporation has shipped large quantity of coal to Anchorage and other coast points, and new markets are waiting to be supplied with the excellent fuel as soon as deliveries can be made in quantities to meet requirements. A large part of the coal thus far shipped to the coast was used in the boilers of the power plant at Anchorage.
 The building of the spur will en- able the coal company to reduce the cost of mining operations, which will result in a very material reduc- ton in the cost of fuel to the con- sumner. This in turn will result, it is believed, is greatly stimulated gold mining activities wherever it is possible to deliver coal.
 It is planned by the coal com pany to employ a Government coal expert to supervise the mining op- erations and a large number of miners will be employed in taking out the coal when the new work is fully under way .
 Horses and sleighs were used dur ing the winter to haul the coal from the mine to the company's bunkers at Healy. After the breakup, when the river ice could no longer be used as a roadway, a tractor was secured and the coal hauled over a crude road along the river bank, and cabled across the river by aerial tram to the Healy bunkers, neces- sarily slow and expensive process.
 Manager R. s. Donaldson, of the Healy River Coal Corporation, who was in town this week, says that the company is ready to put up it's proportion of the cost of the spur and that the mining of coal on a large scale will follow the comple- ton of the project.
 As a matter of precaution, the

Thousands Enjoy
 Relief From Heat
 At Pleasure Beach

Pleasure Beach Park yesterday broke all records, catering to 10000 persons in one day. Not only were both ferries running continuously pressed into service but the Seaview avenue ferry line put triple boat ser vice into use and special launches were running between Stratford ave- nue dock and other city points The picnic grove, large and com modious hardly was sufficiently large to handle the basket-parties that waited for tables and who also dis posed themselves upon the grassy spots and along the beach wherever shade offered.
 Concessions reported that there almost was a, shortage of ice cream and cones in Bridgeport to supply the large demand that came from the sweItering thousands. Balloons by the hundred were passed out to the little ones and the soda-water bot tiers were kept busy carting supplies to Pleasure Beach island.
 Along the beach hundreds of bath themselves in the water under the watchful eye of U. S. Volunteer life savers. All tides being high tides at Pleasure Beach found many in the water during all hours of the day. The great new bathing pavilion came Into its own.
 In the Grand Pavilion thousands danced, but even more clung three and five deep to the wired enclosure merely to hear the famouI Paul whiteman Monograph orchestra which is so well known throughout the country.

EMPIRE,

While Rex Beach has an enviable reputation a. writer of outdoor stories, especially of Alaska, this fa- nous American author has many. suc- cessful novels to his credit that tell intensely interesting stories laid in many parts of the world and dealing with many phases of life besides they lived in the open.
 One of his most absorbing stories dealing with a social theme is "The Net" made into a screen romance by Whitman Bennett for the United Ar lists Corporation, under the title, Flair Lady" and now being shown at the Empire theatre.
 This new screen drama is as far re- moved from the previous Rex Beach plays of Alaskan life as it is possible to imagine any two productions Fair Lady, is a. story of love and romance dealing with two stratas of Sicilian society and the lives they lead both in their native land and in the Uni ted States after they have been Americanized.

 AT STATE DEPARTMENT

Hartford, May 31 An unusual dearth of automobile accidents. con- sidering the heavy traffic on the state highways Monday and Tuesday, was noted today. Up to this forenoon no reports of a serious accident had reached either the State Police of the Motor Vehicle Department. Deputy Motor Vehicle Commissioner Mc- Donald said today that he was out on the state roads much of Monday and Tuesday and failed to note a single accident. This is despite the fact that a record number of machines were out during the period from dawn to sundown last night.

POII'S,


 The most realistic and remarkable flood scenes ever screened are shown in Wild Honey" the melodramatic photo-thril1er now at Polls Theatre, and which stars Priscilla Dean. The scenes form one of the biggest thrills in the picture and remind one of the descriptions of the Johnstown flood generation ago. The destructive un1eased and sweeping down a mar row valley, is heightened in the pie ture by a slight slowing down of the m otiOn.

 Lon Clancy, whose remarkable per formance in ''The Penalty" will go down in the history of motion picture production, as an extraordinary phy- sica1 as well as histronic achievement, plays the lead in Ace of Hearts, a Gouverneur Morris picture coming to Polls theatre, for three days com mencing tomorrow. This is the third picture made by Goldwyn in which Chaney has played, and it marks one of his biggest successes since The Miracle Man"

Solves Bug Problems.
Four years ago Mr.. Sweeny came
to Washington from New York to
solve the bug problem at the Library
OF Congress. For sixteen years ex.
perts tried to keep the big book
mouse from becoming a bug house.
Successfully they departed tearing
their hair In grief and anger.
Enter Mr.. Sweeney. Exit the
bugs.
Then he went to the CAPITOL. Hs
heard the tale Of woe OF one Con.
sressman, who said the bugs even
ate the gum off his postage stamps
as II Congressman used postage
stamps-and woke him up by com.
munity singing within his desk.
Mr.. Sweeny heard the hard.luck
stories Of other members, who, con.
fident Of his ability, pushed through
a resolution appropriating Sl,700 for
his services for q year. The resolu-
ton this year, which is more of a
preventive than a curative measure,
bears the sum Of $2,500.
But that includes the extermina-
ton Of rats and MICE" said Mr..
Sweeny, disgustedly. "and I won't
fool with them. I used to, when I
was young. but I haven't the time

Seek His Secrets.
Mr.. Sweeny has been on the trail
of the bug for upward Of forty

Is to make Washington a roachless

How does he do It? He is as
jealuos Of that secret as Houdini is

"The Bureau of Entomology Of the
