Alaska Service

Conditions for delivering mail in Alaska are difficult. In addition to the many steamer routes we have siXty-eight dog routes, which are run in relays, and all together employ 5000 dogs. We have 174 postoffiees which, in addition to delivering mail to the population in the immediate vi cinitY in which these offices are locat- ed, give service to over 600 outlying localities.
 The greatest difficulty in giving correct dispatch to mail in Alaska is cauased by many persons addressing mail to these localities without giving the name of the postoffice serving that locality. The matter is now under consideration by the. department, to prohibit the dispatch of any mail in Alaska, unless addressed either to or via postotice. In this the potal de partment has no4 desire to work a hardship on any patron Of the mails OAh 0iAN >SA3tietI etAA b0C<=I siI-fiOt NtS are anxious to give the very best ser vice possible, but in order to accom- plish this we must have the co-opera- tion of the mailing public. For ex- ample, a letter .addressd to Willow Creek, Alaska, would have a slight chance of reaching the. intended des- tination without delay, as there are fifteen Willow Creeks in Alaska, but a letter addressed to Willow Creek, via Fortuna Ledge, Alaska, would be delivered without unnecessary delay We have on file in this office list containing he names of -602 locali- ties with the postoffice service there to.

Address letters plain ly leaving out nothing that will assist in the delivery.
 Every person S hould know his own address, if not that of his correspond. ent. Put yoour complete address in the upper left hand corner ef your letter. If you rent q postoffice box cultivate the habit of making yaut box number part of your address. This is q great advantage in the case of similar names. A letter with a proper return address ,will he re- tu rned to the writer if not delivered Request yoour correspondent to di= rect mail giving your complete ad-- dress.
 Put the stamp in the upper tight hand corner, as all canceling ma chimes are set to strike that corner.
 Parcels should be addressed with care. Write or print the address plainly on one side only. with your re turn ddress in. the upper left hand corner as in addressing a letter As an additional precaution, the address and your return should he placed in side the parcel, so that delivery can be made even though the wrapper should be destroyed.

MISS TRUMPER ON
five MILL LEVY
EXPLAINS MEASURE NO. 29
IN TALK AT ASSEMBLY
BIG AUDIENCE

Miss Mae Trumper, state sup
erintendent of schools, paid Wolf
Point a visit Tuesday and talked
on the 5-mill school levy measure
before a packed house at the high
school assembly in the afternoon.
This very important measure
which comes before the voters at
the general election next month
has been but little discussed in
the newspapers and those who
heard Miss Trumper considered
themselves fortunate.
The speaker said that the draft
ing of the measure was done by
a special committee from both
houses of the last legislature and
was born of the necessity arising
from after-wsr cost conditions, ex-I
sting in many states besides Mon
ana, that made it difficult for
many districts to maintain schools
he full year. The laws Of other
states were considered and the
oest possible plan worked out.
The measure provides for a
'-mill statewide levy on all prop
,rty assessed, for a fund for the
of the public schools. If
he measure carries it is estimated
0 produce about $4,000, 900.
Under the state constitution the
money must be distributed by ac-
ION of the legislature. The
uthors of the measure, and 9th
r school experts, have worked out
distribution plan that will be

Farm Home At Froid
Destroyed By Fire

Froid.-The Martin Olson farm
home, which was located about
eight miles south of Froid, near
the Nels Sorbel farm, was de-
stroyed by fire Sunday night. The
loss includes virtually all the con-
tents. The fire occurred as the
family were about to leave for
church, when one of the children
went back into the house to turn
out a. gasoline lamp left burning
on the table. Instead of turning
off the lamp, he turned on more
power with the result that the gas
spurted out in several places, it
is reported here. This set fire to
the carpets and other inflamable
material nearby and soon the
interior of the building was in
flames. Help came as quickly
as possible but not until there was
no chance of saving anything.
The residence was fairly good
one. and Mr.. Olson's loss will be-
heavy as only a small amount OF
insurance was carried.

HENRY GOOD ON
MEASURE NO. 81
PERSONAL VISIT BY CHAIR
MAN OF THE HIGHWAY
COMMISSION

Henry Good of Whitefish
chairman of the state highway
commission, announces that he i:
coming to this part of the state
October 27 to spend three days
and give a series of talks on Road
Measure No. 81.
The schedule of his tour has
not been made but will include
Scobey, Circle, Wolf Point and
perhaps Froid and Poplar. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Good will speak
in Wolf Point Friday evening, the
29th.
HIS special mission on this trip
is to explain to the uniformed
the true purpose and provisions
of the proposed initiative highway
measure, known as No. 81, and
to explain l9the relation that the
state of Montana and the state
highway commission bear to the
federal government i'm the con-
struction of Federal aid highways
in Montana. He has facts to show
that it would be a great misfor-
tune to the state if measure 81
does not carry at the polls.
The schedule of Mr.. Goods
tour will probably be
through posters.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY CIRCLE TO
WOLF POINT MEETS WITH FAVOR
Young And Moore, Commercial Club Delegates,
Present Petitions And Arguments to State Com
mssion-Creat Service of North And South Con-
Meeting Road, And Bridge, Garry Weight

Armed with endorsements from the Roosevelt
and McCone county boards petitions from the COM
mercial organizations at Scobey, Wolf Point Glen
dive Terry and Miles City, well petitions signed
by hundreds of town and country citizens from the
Canadian border to south Of Circle W. L. Young
and R. J. Moore, representing the local Commercial
club appeared at the meeting of the state highway
commission at Helena this week
The purpose was to ask that the state commits
sion recommend to the federal bureau of public
roads that the route between Circle and Wolf Point
be included in the federal highway system known
as the seven per cent system.

JUBMANT OVER PROSPECTS FOR
NO. AND so. ROAD AND BRIDGE

r. ]. Moore and w. L. Young returned
from Helena where they met the State highway
commission and presented petitions and argu-
ments in favor of federal road between Wolf
Point and Circle, decidedly enthusiastic over
the favorable attitude taken by the commission
on the matter. The members of the board as
well as the state and federal highway engineers
who were present, were convinced that the road
asked for would serve a great economic pur-
pose, especially if traffic bridge was built over
the Missouri.
The commission passed resolution strong
ly recommending the designation of the Circle
Wolf Point road as a part of the federal highway
system.
Young and Moore represented the CONNER
cial club of Wolf Point on this important mis-
sion and were greatly aided by endorsements
from the county boards of McCone and Roose-
velt counties the commercial bodies in the sew
era cities interested in north and south road
and bridge, as well as by the long petitions
of farmers and business people all along the
route from Scobey to Miles City. The endorse
ment Of the Circle and McCone county people
was of especial value in convincing the COM
missioners of unanimous demand for this
road. A free traffic bridge across the Missouri
would be wonderful boon to the people of
McCOne county as well as to all this part Of the
state, and the fact is realized by the McCone
county commissioners
After presenting the case we had them all
with us 100 per cent" said w. L. Young.
Il expect to see this road and bridge over |
the river built within few years" was the com
ment of R. j. Moore.
The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1926-10-21
Strong Argument

The petition to the state COM
mission included the suggestion
that if necessary the mileage be-
tween Circle and Jordan be divert
ed to the Circle-Wolf Point route.
The overwhelming arguments
supporting such a highway in
cluded the inestimible service TO
the farmers along the route as
well as the towns; U. S. Mail SER
vice; the filling in of connecting
link in the road from the CANA
dian border to the Yellowstone,
which would afford good road con-
nections between Scobey, Wolf
Point, Circle and Terry, all coun-
ty seats, and between the two
great east and west highway ar
teries through the state.
A Bridge Invaluable
It would be the first step to-
ward free traffic bridge ever
he Missouri river which would
1e of tremendous conornic ad-
to people of this end of
he state and to the travelling pub
ic. 1t was pointed out that
of vehicles and a great
of farm products must
ross the river each year, by fer
y or over ice, with attending ex-
'ense, lost time. danger and loss
If lives. A north and south
highway and bridge, it was ar
sued, would be an important fac
or in the development of all this
ection of Montana.
The Commercial club has been
on the idea for a long
ime with w. L. Young as the
main spring. Just before going
o Helena Mr.. Young, accompan-
ed by R. ]. Moore visited Circle,
flendive, Terry and Miles City
nd secured endorsements at each
,lace. o. T. Stennes, George H.
