ORE BY PARCELS POST
BOTHERS ONE ALASKAN
POSTMASTER, HE SAYS
Being a postmaster in a Mg Alas
kan city, while it carries with it a
certain prestige, would not be class
ed under the heading of “soft jobs,”
according to T. II. Deal, postmaster
of Fairbanks, who is in Seattle on
his flrBt trip out of the north in nine
teen years. Deal is on his way to
Washington, D. C„ and to his home
ir. Vermont, says tho Seattle Times
of April 29. He is a guest at tho
Frye.
“The parcels post in the mail sys
tem has made every season a “Christ
mas rush’ in Alaska,” said Deal to
day. “The latest ’stunt’ of the nor
thern miner is to ship tungsten con
centrates in twenty-pound boxes by
parcels post. A whole lot of valua
ble mineral is thus handled by the
Fairbanks office from the neighbor
ing tungsten claims, and the big de
mand keeps the packages coming fast
and furious.’
"Antimony, used in munitions pro
duction, is also found in the vicinity
of Fairbanks, to the disgust of the
parcels Post mail handlers. This out
going buslns's, with the great quan
tities of incoming mail received for
distribution throughout northern Al
aska, keeps us busy enough to earn
cur salaries, all right.”
Business Better.
Deal said that general business is
from 10 to 20 per cent better than
ever before in Fairbanks, despite
a cold winter. Residents expect a
big year, he said. The Tolovana
camp gives promise of being a mil
lion dollar find, he said, and other
mining activities in the vicinity are
booming. As an evidence of the
prosperity at Fairbanks, Deal de
r—
dared; a nvW shipment of automo
biles has just been received.
“Seattle certainly has grown won
derfully since I last saw it,” said
Deal “When I last left this city
for Alaska It was a village. When
I return it Is a full-fledged city, com
peting against tho biggest ports in
the United States for .commercial
supremacy. I always have liked Se
attle. but as a place of permanent
residence there is no place like Al
aska for tm
COLORADO CATTLE MEN AVAR;
800 SHEEP MADE VICTIMS
CRAN’D JUNCTION, Col.—Three
hundred thoroughbred sheep were
shot by raiders last night near the
Mesa-Delta county line, according to
reports reaching here today.
The sheep belonged to R. B.
Raker, who is said to have had fre
quent clashes with cattlemen over
the uso of the range. Information
received here stated that Baker
threatened to arm herders to repel
future attacks.
FRENCH AEROPLANE
FLEW OVER GERMAN
SECTION EARLY IN WAR
PARIS.—As parly as August 3,
1914, Or within a day or so after the
declaration of war, a big French
aeroplane passed over Frankrort-on
Main. A German infantryman who
was on g'ia"d at a bridge near
Frankfort on the night of August
3, states that an aeroplane, flying
low and swiftly, passed over him,
and that he and his companion fired
at it; it then passed over the Ka
serne, or armory, where awakened
troops poured a heavy rifle fire from
the windows and an anti-aircraft
gun in the court, yard shelled it. The
following morning a riddled French
aeroplane was found in the near-by
fields, but there were no traces of
the aviator.
She won't be sore if you forget
all about her at the "Movies” to
night.
