But the De- partment has not found this pos sible, as the restriction of parcel post matter in winter, for all in- terior offices not located on the Alaska Railroad, has been in effect | for a number of years and a limit ed appropriation does not permit of ] a general extension of the service. l In writing on the subject Assist ant Postmaster General w. Irving l Glover says: The matter has received careful consideration and should the postmasters be per- mitted to accept parcel post for dispatch to Livengood during the closed season, from about October 1 to May D, there would be de- mand for the acceptance of such matters for dispatch to other re- stricted offices, and result in an increased cost that could not be sustained by the limited appropria- ton allotted for mail service in the Territory. Because of the diff ficult transportation over the win ter routes in the interior of Alaska the weights are necessarily limited, and the maximum stated for each route is designed to take care of only the preferred classes of mail and certain articles of merchandise of urgent necessity when the weight limits will permit of their UranSpOrUatlOn.

edging receipt of it's resolution opposing Governmental interfer- ence in the timber sale negotia- tions pending between the United States Forest Service and pros pective| purchasers. This resoIu- ton was an answer to the letter sent the President by the Ameri- can Paper and Pulp Association. MT.

 A communication received from Delegate Wickersham said there was no disposition shown by the Government to take any action on the Associations request, and Alaska had nothing to fear on that score.

Chamber Its Civic Improvement Committee was asked to take up this matter with the proper author ities to see if change from the present system, which keeps these rooms locked, could not be eff fected.
 Allen Shattuck, reporting for a special committee, said the Cham Der had gone about as far as pos- sible in negotiations for widening of lower Front Street. Lack of funds by the City to purchase certain properties needed, and other difficulties prevented further progress at this time, he told the Chamber.
 Conditions Different Here
 Conditions in Juneau are vastly different from those obtaining in the East, the Chamber was in- formed by George R. O'Neill, De- troit, representing the Pere Mar quette Railway. He is here taking moving pictures of wild game and has been unusually successful. You have something here we would like to have in the East plenty of hunting and fishing" he added. Last Spring he travelled PTS miles to a certain trout stream, almost froze, and at the end of a days ardent angling, had three trout to show for his efforts, and two of them had to be put back in the stream as they were under the seven-inch minimum limit.
 Business conditions in the East are not good, he declared. People are idle and in need of places to live and something to eat. In De- troit alone, the city is expending from $5O0,O00 to $1,0OO,000 each month for unemployment relief, and the taxpayers foot the bill.
 MT. O'Neill, David A. Hoffman. Seattle, a schoolmate of Wellman Holbrook, and Robert T. Banks Tacoma, were guests of the Cham Der today.

Elaborate Displ ay to Be Presented on Stage

A style show, always one of the most interesting entertainment fea- lures at a fair, will be staged by Miss Halvorsen tomorrow night from o'clock to 10 at the South eastern Alaska Fair.

 Miss Halvorsen's parade of styles in gowns, coats and millinery will in reality be a debut of fall fash ions-the last word from Paris GUS turner's, interpreting styles to the women of America. Mrs. Cowan, in whose capable hands the staging of the show has been placed, was for merly a model for Frederick and Nelson, N. M. Carman, and other stores in Seattle.
 Tonight, at Halvorsen's Stor e, Mrs. Cowan is going to prepare her models in coats, gowns and hats in preparation for the show. A run way from the stage to the dance floor will be constructed tomorrow, affording an excellent view of the style parade for everyone. Earl Hunters Orchestra will furnish ap- propriate music for the show.

PRIVATE TRADE
BATTLE LOOMS
Farmer Competitors Absorb
Business, Causing
Loud Protests

WASHINGTON. July l0-P-
increased conflict with private
traders Is expected by Carl VIII
uams, Farm Board member, as
farmer owned and controlled CO.
operatives expand.
Following attacks on the board
by Pennsylvania two senator's aft
er Philadelphia dairy wholesalers
mad charged a cooperative with in
discriminatory cutting prices, Will
lams said 1t was only natural the
commission mems protests should
become louder as farmer competitors
absorb more OF their business.
Conflict Grows
The growing conflict between CO.
operatives and private dealers has
been recognized for months by the
board with former chairman Alex
ander Legge and his successor,
James @. Stone. charging the trade
with attempting 70 prevent forma-
ton OF the farmer organizations.
After demands had been made
last week for a more definite
sterilization wheat sales policy,
Chairman Stone accused the grain
trade OF inspiring the widespread
agitation.
Williams intimation OF increased
conflict came after three southern
cotton exchanges had requested a
new statement OF policy for ham
ding that commodity during the
new crop year.
Complaints Considered
The Pennsylvania case brought
the boards clash with private in
terests into full play again. with
Senators Reed and Davis. republic
cans. considering the ACCESSIBILITY OF
filing complaints with the Federal
Trade Commission directed specif-
ically at the Land O'Lakes Cream
