company has been In existence for
years.
Three holding concerns will figure

FROM 'FRISCO
FOR WETS
Local liquor dealer* are In receipt
of communications from the 8eattle
Brewing & Malting Company, an
nouncing that they are making an
, extra effort to supply customers in
Alaska with Rainier beer from their
new plant in San Francisco.
It is announced that arrangements
are being made whereby a line of
steamers will ply direct between San
Francisco and Alaskan ports, which
will give a five days’ service. These
steamers will be equipped with re
frigerators, enabling the transporta
tion of their goods in better condi
tion than ever before.
The Seattle Brewing A Malting (Jy.
was one of the first concerns to re
move their plants from the state of
Washington following the pasage of
the prohibition measure which be
comes effective on January 1. The
brewing company, It is believed, have
Joined forces with San Francisco In
terests who have been desirous of
establishing a direct line of steamers
In order that San Francisco might
again enjoy a portion of the Alasknn
trade which was once exclusively
hers.

MAIL SERVICE WILL NO! BE
IMPROVED SAY OFFICIALS
From the second assistant post
mastei^general, Rev. O. O. Bruce re
celved a letter last evening. In which
he stated, as he has done before,
that It would be Impossible to bet
ter the mall service at the present
time, owing to the necessary increase
in expenditures. In his letter of
complaint against the mail service,
Rev. Bruce set forth that periodicals
which he needed for church work
last winter did not arrive until the
middle of July. He also stated that
many papers and magazines were
equally as late In coming to the in
terior Notwithstanding this fact, the
postmaster-general then replied that
the records of the department showed
that all the second class matter
had been sent through In good time.
In answer to practically every let
ter sent to the department, the post
master-general has replied In a simi
lar way, so that the records must
be at fault somewhere, as everyone
in the Interior knows that all the
second class matter did not get
through on time.—Fairbanks Times.

"Alaska is a syndicated refriger

“The government is administered
by the secretary of the interior, re

fire Club of New York. The terri
tory is inhabited by Eskimos, federal
judges, pelagic sealers, faro dealers,
anti-conservationists, Athabasca In

corps.
"Alaska produces coal, gold, fur,
fish, reindeer, totem poles, icebergs
and congressional Investigations.
"Mining is carried on by the most
approved red-tape methods. The cli
mate compares icily with that of
Blitzen and Etah. Alaska possesses
the highest mountain on the North
American continent, Mt. McKinley,
now famed as the repository of the
lost copper cylinder of Dr. Frederick
