The mail arrived Wednesday
evening. Thus was the Industrial
Worker wrong in its conjecture as
to its possible arrival. Many have
called its attention to the error
Sure enough, the mail carrier will
bring the mail in on time and then
some if it is there, but it's the
blooming movements of the mall it
self that are so mystifying.

The Eagles announce a barn dance
for January 22. And It is going to
be the real thing with turkey in the
hay and turkey in the straw. They
have, they state, secured the ser
vices of the Jingleville band which
will make the rag timers that have
hitherto made music- for -Nemo dan
cers sit up straight aa if they swal
lowed a poker, and take direct and
instant notice. The Committee in
charge of the function are now de
vising the deep dope that is to trans
form the Eagle Hall into a veritable
tout ensemble of reubenistic rusti
city. That last’s a good one they
hit off.

able Eagle social. The following

were donated: Among tho ladies
Mrs. R. W. Hanson, Mrs. Carey and
Mrs Bourett were first, second and
third raapeetlvely. Chas Thomas,
G. A. Adams and Thbs Hess were
lthe three lucky winners among the
men.
The Tenth Episode in the serial
Lucille Love will be shown tonight
in the Eagle Hall, developing an
exciting set of scenes that contri
bute to the increasing fascination of
the plot of this play. A Joker
Universal Comedy featuring Max
Asher as the Irish Detective is re
lied on for the laughs, while a
Sterling Universal, featuring Ford
Sterling at his best and entitled A
Race for a Bride will conclude what
will prove a most entertaining bill.
Baxter of the Territorial Demo
cratic Committee has wired to the
local district committee the call for
primaries which must be held not
later than April 24 for the purpose
of electing delegates to the conven
tion at Juneau on May 27 whereat
a candidate for Congress from Alaska
will be nominated and “such other
business as may come before the
convention”. The call states that
each division is allowed 75 delegates
who are to be apportioned among
the various precincts according to
the number of votes cast for the
party candidate, Bunnell, at the
last election. In this connection al
though there are two government
officials there, Teller will have no
representation. Local democrats
say “there’s a reason”.

The Worker's Unalakleet corres
pondent writes dated January 6::
“The storm of the 3rd and 4 th
from the Southwest was the sever
est ever known here. Houses were
unroofed, shingles, corrugated Iron
and roof logs darkening the air
making it very dangerouB while tho
force of the wind made it almost
impossible to venture out of shelter.
The wind caused a high tide and
with it came the ice and the exodus
for this hills of the natives: men,
women and children. The wind
would take dogs, sledges etc and
hurl them around and it was only
the lash of the whip of fear that
forced them to face it. A few
stayed behind but were all ready to
leave, luckily the wind changed to
the West and with its going down
the tide went down also.
The mail carrier going over to St.
Mike’s had to lay over two days on
account of the storm and so had ti e
carrier at St. Mike’s. Chas D. Jones
left here on January 2 for Nome
via the Koyuk. They had a strenu
ous time around Katolik and i’eet
ma-tulik owing to high water and
bad trails.
It was reported that the last
bachelor mail carrier was going to
become a benedict. When ques
tioned he emphatically denied it
claiming he would preserve his
single blessedness, God willing or
otherwise, to the end of the chapter.
The double mail left here upon the
Second with the limit. The regular
leaves in the morning and from now j
on it will depart twice a week”.
Speaking about the mall, thn
Nome mall, the mail that gets con- J
gested somewhere between Seattle
and Nome and comes Into the terri
tory for belated distribution In the
Spring the following taken from the
communication of the Skagway post
master who jumped his job when
clerk allowance was denied him
will be read with interest as It is
given without prejudice:
“The chief clerk of the railway
service at Skagway,” says Mr. Kin
dell, “draws his $1600 a year, and
Uncle Sam pays h.’s expenses be
sides, which amount to , about ono
thousand dollars a year, with no
thing to do but try to look wise,
draw his pension, write a few letters
to P. W. Vallle, superintendent of
the railway mall service at Seattle,
but he Is one of Vaille's pets in Al
aska, and must continue as Vallle
has a pull with the postal depart
ment.
“There are five of these govern
ment leeches In Alaska, one at
Skagway, Eagle, Tanana, Nome and
Cordova. The one at Nome gets
$1800 each year and expenses. No
wonder the department has no
money left to pay the men that does
the work. These leches should be
given something to do if they must
remain in Alaska and continue to
draw these fat pensions. Why not
establish city delivery at these live
places and give these chief clerks
(often called inspectors by people
who don’t know) something to do
and improve the service at the same
time. The service Is paid tor why
not use it? The time will not drag
so on their hands if they have a few
hours’ work to do each day. They
are all good, able men and wlllinr
to work."
