Towns Name Is Ia
 kOtna,'', Not <Tok0tna, '@ Says FO. Dept. Order

You might as4 we'll get the habit hereafter spell it. T-O-KlO-T- MA
 Au-order issued by the, First Assist ant Postmaster General states that the name of this town has been changed from Tokotna to Takotna, the order to become effective on April I, according to tE1e letter re- ceived by J. H. Mclean, Tokotna or Takotna postmaster.
 Whether the spelling of the name has been improved or not Is left for The Times readers tU judge.
 ''r6kotna" is an awkward, illogical way of spelling, and it is doubtful if there IS or ever was any good trad- tional reason for spelling it thht way.
 How much easier, more graceful and natural way 1t would be if spelled "Tacotna."
 Aa 1t is now, different individuals spell it @Tokotna," ''Takotna" or "Ta- na"-whateVer form strikes them best
 And the U- S.3Government-th the PoStoffiPce Department spells it ''Ta- kotna," the U. S. Signal. Corps spells it ''Tacotna," and different Govern ment' maps and publications in other ways.
 Delefsatas from Alaska Dam Suther- land, responding to The Times some months ago regarding the spelling of the wordy wrote as follows- q believe that if you and the peo- pie of Tacotna would agree as to just how you wouldi have. the name spelled can get the Postoffice Department to alter it to the extent of letter or two. The werd is derived from the word TACHAT, d river flowing into the Kuskokwinh, so that with the h. dian terminal MA or river it would be spelled TACHATNA, and was spelled that way by Spurr and Post in 1898. I am inclined to agree with you that the second letter "a is pre- ferable to, the 'o' as in "Tokotna.'
 And it was only d few days ago that prominent local business man re- ceived the following from al San Francisco business house,
 We have had a hard time down here to establish the correct spelling of the name of your town, the Post office carrying it one way, the. tele- graph people another, and our repre- sentatives stiff another way"
 And from now on, just to get into practice. The Kusko Times will spell it TAKOTNA, in order to conform to the late order of the Postoffice De- partment.

On FRANCE

Renewed agitation for lifting the

written to Vice President Dawes By

advocating abandonment Of the

Bush said ''the present situation
is critical and our position should
be reconsidered." He said a loan
at this time would restore the last
sick currency among the great ma
tions of Europe"
Vice President Dawes declined &c
comment on Bush's letter. bu'
Treasury officials were not so ~,

have minutely analyzed these articles.

Trajectory that in most instances an
acceptable explanation has been fur.
nished by the author to each charge
which might reflect upon the institu.
lion as a whole.
"One example of this is the authors
allusion to the filthy condition of the
cells in that section Of the Jail where
he was confined. In the next para
graph he explains that his temporary
associates sat for an entire day ex-
pectorating tobacco juice upon the
floor. Still further, he admits that he
was required to clean and disinfect his
cell the next morning.
"Store" Prices Cheap.
The author dwelled at some length
upon the petty graft among pris-
oners. He mentioned the sale Of
sugar in minute quantities and
the exchange of cigarettes in lots Of
two CT three for 3 or cents. Pie. he
is quoted as saying in another article,
is sold at price exceeding the charge
for the same article ON the outside.
LAS to the practices of petty pro-
f1teering among the prisoners, need
but call attention to the facilities
available to all to purchase any Of
these articles from the store here at
prices charged by public shops. Pie,
contrary to the statement Of the re-
porter, is sold at the Jail cheaper
than it may be purchased in the same
quantities on the outside.

pointed out in the original articles,
that while cells are cleaned, but not
steriliZed, at 4:30 in the morning, in
the II hours before bedtime they be-
come filthy. and that seven men, con.
fined in one cell, creating this filth
throughout the entire day, must sleep
in it at night. He also will point out,
referring to the petty graft at the
Jail, that whereas the "store" prices
may compare favorably with outside
prices, these are not always the same
prices demanded by colored prisoners
acting as venders when they offer
their goods for sale at cell doors. The
graft was alleged to be somewhere
alorg the line and not at the store
itself.
