Advises Christmas Mailing Early

Advises Christmas Mailing Early.
During the next seven days the an
nual Christmas rush will be at its
height in the postal department. The
Askov postmaster states that mail
will be dispatched from his office
Sunday forenoon so that all parcels
and other mail brought in Saturday
afternoon will not have to lay over
till Monday. Therefore he advises
everyone to take advantage of this and
do as much as possible of your pack
age mailing Saturday, and thus avoid
the rush which is expected on Monday
and Tuesday.
1t is important that you wrap your
parcels we'll and have the address
plainly written with pen and ink, and
also give your return address. The
postal department prefers to have only
one legible address on parcel; writ
ing the address on two or more sides
causes confusion and often delays the
shipment. Mail to the west coast
points must be mailed this week in
order to reach destination by the
oath. Remember that there will be
no regular mail deliveries on the
25th.

Oil Association Dividend Coming.

Tomorrow or Saturday approx
mately 400 patrons of the Pine Coop
Oil Association, Askov, will get a
pleasant surprise in the mail. The
officials of the company are busy
right now figuring out patronage
dividend of per cent on the sales
for 1895. This 1895 dividend has
been expected at various times during
the year, but it will likely come in
very handy right now for the Christ
mas shopping.
At the annual meeting last Janu-
airy it was left TO the board of di-
rectors to declare "a dividend if and
when the funds for same were avail
able. The bulk of the profits for 1886
were tied up in outstanding accounts
on which the officers, through the
year, have collected enough to pay
out per cent patronage dividend
at this time. This dividend is entirely
separate from the business done dur
ing 1885, which by the way, also
shows good margin, disposition of
which will be left to the next annual
meeting.

DOLLY WARDEN TROUT TRAP EXPERIMENT
 BE ATTEMPTED

A three week cruise to determine whether fish traps can be successfully built in Southeastern Alas ka to catch that pest of the piscatorial world, the dolly warden trout, was under taken recently by the Ran ger TX, U. s. Forest Service vessel, says a recent issue of the Alaska Daily Press of Juneau.
 Carrying Ranger W. A. Chipperfield and Capt. Geo Sarvela, the vessel will pro ceed to Sitka and then sail to Chichagof and Baranof Islands with Gerald Banta, who will be foreman in cha rge of the experiment.
 Two streams will be in Vestigated in the vicinity of Sitkoh bay, one of them leading from Sitkoh lake. both these streams are known to be trout streams. but it has not been determ- ined whether black spotted trout are prevalent in their

waters as well as the dolly warden.
 If these or other streams are found to be almost eX- clusively inhabited by the dolly warden, the traps may be put into active use and if successful, will be extend ed to other tested streams.
 This project, it was an nounced, has the sanction of the U. $. Bureau of Fish cries, which is anxious to rid Alaska streams of the dolly warden, and has plac- ed bounties on the fish in the northern parts of the Territory.
 The dolly warden is a sal monoid fish (salvelinus mai ma) frequenting the Rocky Mountain slope, resembl- ing the brook trout of East ern America. It has red spots on the back and sides, and preys on salmon eggs. It is one of the salmon fish erman'S worst enemies.

 COMMENT
Continued From Page One) roam, be it ever so humble there's no place like Reno'.

The day of the big stick is approaching, not the art icle that raises constitution al and political questions, but the club that swings over the home plate, some times cutting a slice from the afternoon air, again finding its mark with a re sounding Whack. Pitchers are the scientists of base= bail, and as such get the discriminating praise that goes 10 those of scientific at tainments, but nothing brings the grandstands shouting to their fleets quite so effectively as the specta cular knocking of a homer. It may not be out of order, therefore, to recall that mo mentOus summer of 1927, when Babe Ruth made 60 non stop trips around the bases. The coming season will hold it's attractions, but there is no batter in sight to equal Ruth's stand ing as a terror to hurlers, and to give spectators the assured pleasure that goes with a batterin9 sVot and a long uninterrupted sprint.
