Assistant Postmaster General, re
lative to the specimen of your
Alaska stamp, which I sent to him

JI My dear Mr. Dimond:
The receipt is acknowledged of
your letter under date of Sep
tember 15, enclosing a specimen
of the stamps received from Fath
! or F. M. Menager, S. J., Kotze
bue, Alaska, containing a design
advertising that territory, for pos
sible use in the preparation of
I the forthcoming issue of commem
orative postage stamps.
Had this stamp been submitted
earier, it is possible that the sub- j
ject matter thereon could have
been used as a basis for the mod
j el for the commemorative stamp.
| for Alaska. However, the design,
i for this special issue has now
been virtually completed and the
time is too short to consider an
entirely new design.
In this connection you are ad
vised that the preliminary sket
ch for the Alaska stamp features
as the central subject stately Mt.
McKinley in the distance, while
in the foreground has been incor
porated subject matter intended
to symbolize the transition of the
Territory from its original state

BAN ON BANNERS SOUGHT
PORTLAND, Ore., OP)—When
the city council placed a fee on
street banners it thought it would
rid the streets of that form of ad
vertising. Instead revenue aver
aging $2,000 a year poured into
the treasury.
But one commissioner still does
not want banners, even at a pro
fit. He proposes an ordinance
prohibiting all except .those ad
vertising charity events.

round holes are made just below
