Seattle Office In die ate $ Route May Be Di-
 rect from Here

If Juneau boat owners will sub init bids for mail service to Icy Strait showing little or no diff ference between Hoonah or Ju- neau as the point of departure there is strong possibility that, on March Is, "a direct mail run between Juneau and Icy Strait will be established.
 This was the fact established at the weekly meeting of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce today with the reading of a telegram from the Superintendent of Railway Mai Service in Seattle. the Postoffice Departments organization which has called for the bids.
 In brief, the telegram indicated that the Superintendent saw no need of duplicating the present Juneau Hoonah service now SUD- piled by the Kenai, but that if Juneau boat owners indicated that they could make the Juneau Icy Strait run as cheaply as they could the Hoonah-Icy Strait route, then the service with Juneau would receive consideration.
 The telegram was in reply to a radio sent the Superintendent in Seattle by Juneau's Chamber of Commerce earlier in the week. The Chambers telegram included a request to change the terms of the bid for the mail run to Icy Strait, using Juneau as the point. of de- parture instead of Hoonah
 The drive to install a mail ser vice to Icy Strait communities started when Frank A. Boyle, chair man of the Chambers transpor- tation committee, collected a pe- tition signed by many Icy Strait residents asking for such service. At present, there is no service to these communities.
 An urgent appeal from the Chamber was forwarded to the proper authorities, along with the petition. The recent call for bids for a Juneau-Icy Strait run by the Seattle office resulted.
 In asking. however, that Juneau be the point of origination, the Chamber pointed out that. with an increase of freight demands be- tween Juneau and Icy Strait it was possible and probable that boat owners would be able to submit bids for the direct run instead of connecting with the Kanai at Hoonah.
 The service will start March l..

With a tale of a wild man roam ing the isolated territories of the upper Nushagak River and thereby soaring many a would-be prospector out of the country, Charles J. Dumbolton, well known sourdough and mining operator, was a recent visitor to Juneau as a passenger on a southbound vessel.
 Dumbolton, for many years in the Klondike and other Yukon mining camps, arrived in Fair banks Christmas Eve after thrill ing three months spent in lonely prospecting work, 125 miles from any settlement. After spending a brief holiday period in Fairbanks, the veteran prospector left for Se- attle.
 In October, Dumbolton left Fair banks by airplane for the Nushagak country, armed with necessary i'm plements and story of wild man who ruled the area with ter TOT However, upon Dumbolton's $ return to Fairbanks, he admitted he had not met up with the threat ening hermit. Nevertheless, it is known that many a hearty pros pector has feared to enter the wild mans territory.
 Dumbolton returned to Fairbanks well atis fl ed with his three months work. He said that he had acquired some promising placer property and plans return this year
 The veteran sourdough first came to Alaska with herd of cattle which he took over the Dalton Trail from Haines to Selkirk, kill ing the herd at the latter place He rafted down the river to Daw- son, Y. T. Later mining ventures netted him much success and he is known as one of the heaviest operators for the yellow metal.
 Dumboltons return to Fairbanks was accomplished by airplane, Pilot Sasseen of the Star Air Service making a dramatic and dangerous
 light to bring the man back tc civilization.

MERCURY FALLS TO FOUR DEGREES
 AS CITY. SEWERS
Driving Taku Wind Also Continues Dawson
 Has 56 Below

Colder, yes, but not zero yet.
 As Juneau's citizenry stoked fires and piled extra blankets on beds last night, the temperature dropped to a new low for this winter, but did not quite reach zero, United States Weather Observer Howard Thompson reported today.
 The official recordings showed that at o'clock this morning the temperature slid to four degrees above zero.
 Adding to this discomfort was the continued strength of a driv- ing Taku wind out of the north est. Weatherman Thompson indi- cated- that the velocity, at various , sustained five-minute periods, was around 35 miles per hour, rising briefly to speeds of 40 miles per hour and higher.
 However, things could be worse. Dawson, " T., reported temper ature of 56 degrees below zero and an extremely high barometric pres sure of 3104 inches.
 The interior of Alaska to the westward, however, was enjoying comparatively mild weather Ket- chikan's temperature of six degrees below zero indicated that Juneau was not the only Southeast Alas ka port to note low mercury |reading.
 |s Fair weather, with continued cold and strong northeasterly winds was forecast for tomorrow. Wealth erman Thompson said that it might be possible that a break in the local conditions may come Satur- day, but that indications were not strong enough today to make an official forecast of that nature.

EDIRECT MAIL RUNCAN J JUNEAU PIN ION ICY STRAITSTEAM BE BEATEN DEPENDS ON BIDS IN ELK TOURNEY?
Local Squad Keeps Adding to Lead, But Ketchi-
 kan Threatens

This inter-city bowling contest between Elks teams in Juneau, Ketchikan ard Anchorage now dissolves down to the question: Can Juneau's squad be beaten. not in the series, but for one single day?"
 Winning again last night over both foes, the Juneau club now has such a large lead in the com petition that it would take phe- nomenal bowling by either An chorage or Ketchikan to pass it in the remaining four days of the tourney.
 So, the query now is can the Juneau men be had for just one nights competition? Ketchikan's s bowlers came very near that real ization last night-but not quite. Juneau bowled 2,766 last night. Ketchikan had 2,751-a difference in Juneaus favor of but IS points. That's the closest any team has been to the local squad so far in the ten-day meet. Anchorage had 2,625 last night.
 Juneau's lead over Ketchikan now is 631 points. Anchorage is in debt to Juneau by some 992 points. And Ketchikan, of course, leads Anchorage by 361 tallies.
 zurich's 599 score for Ketchikan was the best individual effort last night, with Frank Metcalf leading Juneau and taking the second spot with 597 Thibodeau, Ketchi- kan, was third with 592. Bragaw's 571 led Anchorage.
 The Anchorage scoring: McDon- ald 544; Romig, 520; Spensley, 488; Bragaw, 571; Matthewson, 362; Larsen, 40; Total, 2,625.

WASHINGTON (ANP) = Rob-
ert Fechner, director of the CCC
camps, announced Tuesday that
during the fiscal year closing June
80, 1885, 4,339 illiterate enrollees
at the various camps throughout
the country had been taught to
read and write through the educa-
tional program being conducted at
the camps.
Other disclosures made by Mr..
Fechner included the report that
there were at present 1859 Hitter
ate enrollees in the camps now, IL
literate being defined as any man
who cannot read a newspaper or
write letter; that 70 per cent of
those classed as illiterate were
born in the United States and that
five per cent were under the age
of %. The program is being push
ed forward rapidly, Fechner stat
ed that most of the enrollees were
showing great interest in school
work. The calibre of colored edu-
actional advisors would suggest
that colored enrollees had made
progress in this respect.
