SKAGWAY OFFICIAL
 SAYS HARDING COMING

That President Warren c. Harding is very much interested in Alaska and that he will certainly visit the Territory next summer if Congress is not in session, is the message that George G. Miller, Deputy Col lector of Customs, attached to the Skagway office, brings to the people of Alaska directly from the President himself. Miller has just returned from a visit to Washington, New York and his old home in Baltimore. While in Washington he saw the President at the White House and at that time the President gave him the massage he brings to Alaska.
 "The President was very much in terested in the Territory" said MT. Miller, "and he asked many ques- tions concerning the various towns in Alaska. the industries and the neople, their attitude and manner of life.'
 MT Miller says all indications in the East are that the present year will be characterized by good times.

Public Demonstrations
Life Saving Method
Can't. Miller at c. of &.

CAPTAIN Miller and Ersklne L.
Moves were in attendance Friday
noon at a meeting at the Chamber
of Commerce rooms. where they
demonstrated the prone pressure
method Of artificial respiration.
There were present a large number
of business men, several of the en-
ployees of the Augusta Ice Co. and
doctors, who listened with interest
to the fine talk by Captain Miller
which preceded the demonstration.
Captain Miller then spoke of the
obligation devolVing upon the peo-
pie to place themselves in a posi-
ton to save life if the occasion &C.
ours. He stated that we all have
the courage to do this but that
many lack the knowledge. This is
not necessary when a little intruc-
ton would be all that is needed to
save the life of human being.
Pointing out the ways to be used
in life saving, he said for instance
that one way to rescue yourself
from the clutches of drawing
person is to take a deep breath and
then sink. the drowning person will
let go rather than be drawn under.
Then come up behind him and take
him ashore.
The prone pressure method was
then demonstrated, Mr.. Noyes act
ing as the subject. The demonstra-
ton lasted about 20 minutes.

Augusta Appreciates
Postal Facilities

The last issue of one of the Boston
Sunday papers devoted a full page
to the curtailment of service in
Massachusetts cities which has been
the subject of much comment.
The postmaster of Boston admitted
the service was not good in the BOs-
ton Postal District and similar ad-
missions We're made by many Massa-
chusetts postmasters outside the BOs-
ton District.
A journal representative inter-
viewed Postmaster Arnold and
learned that no curtailment is an
ticipated at Augusta. BY rearrange-
ment Of schedules the four deliveries
daily in the business and two in the
residential section will be maintained
and a decided Improvement in the de-
livery of parcel post is the delivery
at 500 A. NJ. which was formerly
delayed until 10 A. NJ. Another re-
cent advantage afforded Augusta
patrons is the additional facilities for
the transaction of money order and
registry business The window for that
business being now open daily until
900 2. NJ.
When it is known that in many of
! the cities Of larger population than
Augusta, hut one delivery daily is
| being made and that windows close
at 600 T. NJ. Augusta patrons have
! every reason to be pleased with the
! excellent service of the local office
, Travelling men frequently comment
! favorably on the general delivery SER
vice which iS afforded at all hours of
the day and night. Sunday excepted.
| In many of the large cities, postoifice
lobbies are closed on Sundays and
renters of lock boxes have no oppor-
! tunity of getting their mail. The lock
boxes at the Augusta office are &C
cessible at all times and stamps may
be purchased at any time except from
! 1900 p. NJ, Saturday night until
10000 p. NJ. Sunday night.
The postmaster stated that EN- :
ployees at the Augusta Office are all
anxious to maintain the present
standard of service and that by sub
hitting schedule of assignments to
the postmaster general for maintain
ing such service, approval has been
given and an ample appropriation
received for sufficient auxiliary SER
vice to complete the fiscal year which
ends June 80. The postmaster has
only words of commentator for
his EMPLOYEES in their WILLINGNESS to
work a little Harder until the ppnrO-
priation for 1924 becomes available.

Sunbeam Bakery
in New Hands-Will
Be Given New Name

The Sunbeam Bakery changed
hands Friday afternoon.
The United Bakeries corporation
which has controlled this very popu-
lar establishment has sold its inter-
ests to j. l.. Dearborn and r. IS.
Schneider who will conduct the bust
ness in the future.
The name of the Sunbeam Bakery,
however, did not go with the pur-
chase of the store and fixtures. This.
it is understood, belongs to the
United Bakeries corporation and as
a result the new owners will be
obliged to secure new name.
What this will be has not yet been
decided. A Journal reporter was
informed Friday afternoon that a
voting contest to select the name
would soon bc~held and substan-
tial cash prize given to the winner.
The details of this event will be an
nounced later.
The change in ownership of the
bakery becomes effective tonight-37
months to a day from the time the
Sunbeam Bakery began business in
Augusta. for it was on March Is,
1920. that the new establishment
first attracted attention when dough-
nuts, were being fried in the. WIN
dows. Since that time. the affairs of
the concern have been very success
full. Edward $. Mack was the resi-
dent manager at the start and re-
NAMED with the concern until last
summer when J. l.. Dearborn of
Bangor succeeded him. Mr.. Mack
returned to his business as a travel
iS salesman.
Mr.. Dearborn not only has been
successful in the management of
the Sunbeam Bakery here but has
won a large numbei If friends.
Mr. Schneider first came to Au-
gusta last summer and was at the
Sunbeam Bakery up to the middle of
the winter. He is probably one of
the best known bakers in New Eng
land and was for many years with
Cobb. Bates e. YcrXa of Boston. He
and Mr.. Dearborn will be in equal
partnership under the new arrange
ment.
I'VE have no plans except to make
the very best goods we can" the new
owners said jointly Friday afternoon
after the deal had been consummat-
cd. 1t is certain that the best
wishes of all Augusta people are
with them.
