THE FACTS
Notwithstanding the Tact tbut the I
steamer Dolphin reached Skagway at '
o'clock Tuesday morning her uiail wa
Dot put on the train which left thtr
placo at 9:30 o'clcck, eighi aud a half
hours later. Even the Skagway mail
did oot come over oa Tuesday.
Such neglect on the part of somebodv
id nothing short of criminal negligenct
and the guilty party or parties shoulc
be brought up with a short turn.
The Star is taking steps to tlnd out at .
Skagwav whose business it is to trans
fer the mail from the wharf to the
train; also to tind out why such negli- :
gence is practical at that place.? The
Whitehorse Star.

Upon a requ?stfrom the people of
Whitehorse The Alaskan investigated
the above. It found that on the day of
the arrival of the Dolphin the mail wa
delirercd by the Postoftice officials in
time to catch the train. The transfer
driver got to the depot TEN SECONDS
late. The head of the transfer com
pany was talking with theSuperioend
ent of the railroad company, asking
him to hold the train TWENTY SEC
ONDS after the scheduled time of leav- '
log?the train had not yet gotten up its
Broadway speed? and the Superintend
ent refused to hold the train theTWEN
TY SECONDS necessary tq have the
mail get over to Whitehorse. The
Transfer company was not to blame.
In this conncction it should be re
membered that there is a sweeping i rc
vlso in the rules roveming the hauling
of United States mail, which m k?s it
compulsory if the ma<l is on the depot
grounds, shtds or platform? no matter
if the platform is a mile long? to hold
the train until the mail i- taken on
board, This applies to fast ard over
land trains, and also covets similar con
ditions of lixe occur. ecc<; on little
roads in Alaska.
WOYT "HOLLER."
The po?toftice department at Wash
ington ha* discovered that it Ins been
steadily switdltd ar.d defrauded during
the past four }e?i? as to the quality of
the paper used in tho stamped envel
opes and newspaper wrappers sold at
the postottices throughout the couctry.
The paper was furivshed by the Hart
ford Manufacturing company and chem
ical analysis h s disclosed that cheaper
materials w< re cscd than ?> pec: Heat ion.
called for. The profit thereby wrong
fully accruing 10 the company, it bein?'
?(timated, amounting to $Ji">,000 The
matter has been put in the hands of the
attorney-general. Of course it is up
to Uncle Sam to prosecu'.e an.! collect
damages, if possi- le; but ro one who
received a needed remittance or a
pleasing letter is going to ra'se a "hol
ler" now as to the quality of the envel
opes In which they were sent.
CONVINCING ADVERTISERS
A simple and conclusive way o!
changing *n advertiser's mind w-s late
ly employed, according to hi Sp e'a
tor of Portlacd, Ore., by a daily news
paper in that city. A man who man
aged the advertising lor a roal (state
enterprise, being solicited for an order,
replied: "I do not think advertising in
the v would do any good, for the
people who read that paper are not re.l
estate buyers."
The solicitor m'ght have talked until
sunrise the n*xt morning without
changing the advertiser's opinion, so
different tactic* were resorted to. The
newspaper prin'ed an editorial wrrning
readers not to buy property in mush
room residence sections laid out at th?
base of Mount Hoj 1.
It was suggested that while street
cars have been started running to the
new "citiis" the tracks would be taken
up as soon as all the lots were sold, and
the unfortuna'e purchaser? would have
to walk. This worried the real estate
man, naturally. His competito-s took
the matter up, quoted the editorial in
their advertisements and emphas'/ed
the fact that their prooerties were not
.at the base of Mount Hood and had a
permanent car service.
In a second editorial ibe daily re
marked that the time wns a bud one for
starting a country club, ?ud jrave vea
sous for this view. The skeptic*! real
estate man wns interested in a country ,
club which was closely related to his
other real estate ?enterprises Wher
ever he went the two editorials were
c
shoved under hi^nose, and In less than
a week he was satisfied that nearly
everybody in town read the paper In
which he refused to advertise. The
object lesson was not lost on him 'i he <
Fourth Rsute.
THE OTHER TUNE
The Ilecord of Juneau says the Llog
jfatt boosters, (tlrs-j from Tread troll
and the Sutherland mines, presumably)
"made merry hi taking refreshments ^
at the Occidental bar" after the recent ,
primary.
This- time Governor Hoguatt called .
the boys up to drink for doing what the
Tread* el I people wauled in the way of
opposing II?>me Government. The last j
time Governor HogKatt had anything
to do with the boys atTreadwell was
wheu he called up the soldiers to have f
them do what theTteadwell pe;p!e
wanted in the w?y of submitting; to op
pression on the part of the company.
There always was something queer
about Juneau politics. At the republi
can prim-rv hold there last '? onday
about 403 votts were polled. Juiioau
lias less than 1,500 people, acoordin ' to
the recent ruling of Judge Gunnison.
In 1900 she had more than 1,500. Yet
in the fall of l!>-?? the cutire vote casf
for Murane, republican candidate for
Congress, in all of the first judicial
division was 387 for long term and 2H>
for the shor*. We wish some of our
mxthematlcat Irierd-* would figure out
how m my democrats there are in tfctt
to*n.? Douglas (sl-ind News.
A tout ot o hundred and sixty of the
"210" who voted for the Hoggatt tick* t
at the ncent republican primary in
Juneau, belong to the Pemocratic
p:irty, we undi rstand.
