For the past three years the society
has distributed to these citizens full
information about the state election
laws, and especially all the require
mentS pertainin@ to voting by mail.
The officials Of the Minnesota local
society discove I'd that inadvertently
much HARDSHIP had been imposed on
the absentees serving the Government
by the STATE laws and that in many
instances, specially in the larger
cities of tn" State, they were deprived
of the sur age if they had not regis
tered in person. When a venerable
and niue beloved member of the So
clety, s. natOr knute Nelson, died it
was fond that voting by mail was
prohibi ed in special elections.
The local society diligently coop
Grated with the law makers of Mime
sofa with the result that now every
citizen of the State may avoid the
heavy expense of registering or vot-
ing in person by appearing before a
notary with the proper papers. This
example of u useful and important
service rendered by the State society
to the citizens resident in Washington
has been followed by several others
of the more distant Commonwealths.

ROAD CONDITIONS IN KUSKOKWINl ARE
 UNVEILED UPON

Speaking of road construction in the lower river country last season The Alaska Road Commission, a re- cent visitor in Seward reported very good summer road was built leading northerly from Medfra, across the low benches of the Kuskokwim val ley for about six miles and then climbing over the Nixon watershed.
 Since the Alaska Treadwen Gold Mining Company gave up their option and pulled out in the summer of 1923, little freight has been moved over the road which is now used mostly for winter freighting of SUD- plies to the placer workings on Hid den Creek and Mystery Creek and other quartz prospects in the dis trict.
 The owners of the Nixon mine leased the mills from the Alaska Treadwell Company and, according to The Gateway report, did very we'll last winter having taken about $100,- 900 at a comparative small cost. However, it was stated no extensive development work is being planned.
 At the present time this road is in very bad repair and said to be almost impossible for team or wag- on. The bridges are also in bad repair. Owing to the fact that the district is most promising, due to the quartz showing, and with the definite knowledge that the Nixon Quartz Mine company has produced many thousands of dollars, and that several other and smaller placer properties nearby are producing year. ly fairly good money it is believed The Alaska Road Commission will step in and assist the region in put ting the roads in good shape.

Mt,XICO CITY. May 10.-The
British and French ministers here
have sent Il request to Foreign
Secretary Saenz asking that one
foreign priest to be permitted to
of4iciate in Mexico City for the
British and French colonies.

over Germany's fag since the
Weimar National Assembly abolished
the old monarchial colors in 1919
will be settled through the adoption
of unified standard. This was an

flag, but incorporate in its center a
black, white and red shield.
