ALL ALASKA
AIR MAIL IS
EXPECTED

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Aug S.
The Alaskan air mail bin under
which the post office department
would be able to extend mail service
by air to all sections of the Terri
tory was sent to conference yester-
ay to straighteu out differences.
When the bin passed the senate
it was amended to strike out pro
visions authorizing the department
to give EMERGENCY service without
advertising for bids. As it passed the
house, such service would be pos
sible.
Delegate Dimond, author OF the
measure, indicated his belief that
the senate group would agree to the
measure as it passed the house min
US the provision for service without
advertising.
Dimond said that it would be
to give emergency service without
vice and would greatly delay the
movement of mail in the Territory
if the provision were removed from
the measure.

Ellis Explains Term
A short shorter, as Bob Ellis
explains, is an unofficial pilots Ii
eense, a ticket OF credentials for
presentation among the wearers of
wings. 1t must be carried at all
lmes and failure to do so carries a
penalty.
Seeing one is, at first, like see
ing nothing more than a mutilated
one-dollar bank note, one that has
been badly treated and carried
long time. How long depends on
how long the pilot has held his Ii
eense."
1t is actually a dollar-bill serv-
ing as an autograph album, with
only bona tide, active flyers adding
their signatures to it. Each time a
pilot is asked to show his short
shorter by another pilot he
must do so, or pay a penalty equiv
alent to the total represented in the
ones which witnessing pilots car
show.

Ketchikan City Council
ReSentS Liz. Board Act

Claiming that the territorial liq-
uor boar asks cities to pass on
applications for liquor licenses and
then ignores the action, the Ketchi-
kan council this week instructed
the city clerk to write a letter to
the territorial group informing it
that the city body resents having
its disapproval OF license applica
lions ignored.
The text of the letter follows:
AT its regular meeting on Au-
gust I, 1885. the common council
of the city of Ketchikan instructed
me to express to the board of liquor
control the strong resentment of the
council toward the action of the
board in granting liquor licenses in
this city over the disapproTal and
objection of the council.
The council cannot understand
the purpose of requiring it to pass
on all applications and either ap-
prove or disapprove the same only
to have their action ignored by the
board of control. The members OF
the council also feel that the action
OF the board constitutes a denial of
the last Yestige of home rule, or
local self government, in liquor
matters.
And, finally, the council feels
that local people and officials are
better qualified to say who shall
and who shah not sell intoxicating
liquor in this city than any outside
board
