On the bases of books issued at
public schools last February plus
"A conservative estimate Of The
number distributed since. the city
has grown by al least 81 300 per-

of the frequently voiced estimate
Of 300 900.

CAPTAIN SAWYER
 QUITS MAIL RUN

J. H. Sawyer, who has been op- erating the Donjac on the mail run between Petersburg and Port Alexander, did not forget his GUS toners when he suspended opera ton. sA
 At the time his bid was made for the contract, he points out, the war was not yet begun and conditions were much different than now, when fox farms on the route have folded up and running expenses have increased alarm ingly.
 Still trying to meet his contract, Capt. Sawyer said he has lost over $1,O00 in the past two months and is forced to cease operation.
 An appeal for a mail boat to replace the Donjac and continue mail delivery should be made to the postoffice authorities.
