He be lieves there are hundreds of millions of dollars which can be recovered by this method.

out the Territory or to the States.
 One of the most important results of the kind of service we hope to establish will be the reduction of the cost of mining. Every time the min ing costs are reduced more mines will be investigated and operated. This will be affected in part by the elimination of an enormous part of time spent in attending the arrival of trains or boats, which will be obviat- ed by an exact knowledge of all trans portation carriers. This knowledge will ultimately be available to every town, hamlet, camp, and fox farm ih this great northern empire. Not only knowledge, but pleasure will be dis seminated-all the news and programs and musical concerts of the States will be possible as large broadcast ing station will be installed.
 In order to realize the ideals of service it will be necessary for the Alaskan Communication to have the cooperation and sympathy of all true Alaskans and it will reciprocate in every way to the fullest Of its ability.
 "The initial installation will have a capacity of 100000 words per day and the capacity will be increased as busi- ness warrants, everything equipped to do business in the most modern and thorough way"

MT. R. A. Pope, head of the Alaska Communications, corporation de signed to take over the radio and tel ephonic communications in Alaska, arrived on Saturdays boat and left to- day for trip to the Interior. In an interview with representative of the Gateway, Mir. Pope said:
 My motive in establishing radio telephone and telegraphic service throughout Alaska is a disinterested one, financially. I love Alaska and wish to spend the greater part of my time here, and 10 further my project have laid aside the majority of my mining plans this year. and am devot- ing practically all my time to com pleting this Alaska Communications service. My motive may be express ed in one sentence, What can do for Alaska l feel that the most impor- tant asset for Alaska is communica- tiOn-telephone and telegraph. So many enterprises are jeopardized by lack of men, lack of supplies and lack of communication at a critical time ; and when an enterprise fails it hurts Alaska. could have saved thousands of dollars in my mining camp alone if 1 could have had instant communica- tion with Seward. We are going to make it possible for every hamlet, camp and town in Alaska to be in in- stant communication with important centers here in the Territory and with the outside cheaply and eff ciently. We believe the enterprise will pay for itself in the future and ultimately will pay dividends and make itself self-supporting
 We expect to have our first Wash ington station completed before fall the location having already been de cided upon.
 Tn saying we will improve the ser vice and reduce the rates, we do not wish to underrate or disparage the great service rendered by the Army and Navy for Alaska-but governmen tai service has different objective and different viewpoint than commercial service. A governmental service can not secure an appropriation at once in fact a great passage of time often

livery of mail begins in this borough
today.
Although the village delivery sys-
tenn which has been given the
borough. is not what the citizens
or borough council desired, Sena-
tor Walter Z. Edge, in informing
post master F'orman r.. Thompson
Of the system given the borough
declared that it was better than
none and that he was of the opin-
ION that a step had been taken in
the right direction towards obtain
ing a city delivery system. Some
maintain that the CITY delivery sys-
lem here will be a fact within the
course of a year. and point to the
fact that as Congressman Elmer II.
Geran resides in this borough the
city system should be obtained with
Il much delay.
Under the village system there
will be two letter carriers. They,
however. viii not be in uniform.
The positions have been given to the
two highest men "A the recent test.
They are Chester Weber and James
Thompson. Mr.. Weber mas been Civ

thus covering the entire upper sec
ton of the borough while Mr..
Thompson will cover the lower sec
ton OF the borough or from the

There will be two deliveries each
day. One leaving the Office at $40
and the other at 1885. Mail will only
be delivered to those residents who
have placed a mail box on the front
of their houses. For this reason
there has been a great demand for
letter boxes and nearly every home
in the borough has one on display.
Due TO the fact hal the posts for
the street collection boxes have not
been received as yet, it will prob
ably be a week or ten days before
they are placed. The plans call for
seven street boxes to be located as

STAGE is COSTLY
National Thcatcr and Opera Causes a
Deficit For Austria--Nlay Lease
Them or Reform Them.

Vienna, Feb. 9s.-The financial sup
port given by Austria to the nation
al theater and the national opera add!
so measurably to the states deficit
that two methods of possibly stopping
these losses are being considered. One
Is to lease the theaters and the other
is to reform them.
Each has its opponents. Present
day actors and employees claim to be
Indifferent, but assert, nevertheless,
that reform is impossible because the
present system is not unpopular with
certain bureau chiefs in authority.
The idea of leasing does not disturb
the actors. for one mans money is
as good as another's to them.
But the numerous theatrical PEN
sioners who are now living on the
state are loud in their opposition to
any change; the lessees might not
