The steamer Northwestern wai
unable to land her freight at Anchor
age. and after waiting there for sev
era! days for ice conditions ro Im
prove, finally left for Seward, when
its cargo of 1,700 tons was discharged
last night. This freight will likbly ht
stored in cars and distributed alone
the railroad, as the wharf facilitief
are not sufficient to handle it. and 11
may be freighted over the trail tc
Anchorage later in the season.
The steamers Kansas City and \d
miral Farragut are still to the west
ward, and it ts more than likely that
they will also be unable to discharge
their cargoes. Tn that event tnere
will be a shortage of supplies at An
chorage during the winter.
The Northwestern sailed from Sew
ard at 3 o’clock this mornrng, and as
•he will load ore at Ellamar, is not
due in Cordova until tomorrow 6 a. m.
She will be in port about twelve or
fourteen hours taking on Kennecott
copper ore and will not sail ror Se
attle until early Tuesday evening.

VICINITY CAPE ST. ELIAS.
Captain Quinn has returned to the
halibut fishing grounds near Cape St.
Elias, with his power boat Idaho, af
ter having brought a large catch of
halibut to Cordova for shipment to the

big run of fish this year, and the only
drawback is the rought weather that
usually prevails in the vicinity of the
Cape.

Upon the request of the Fairbanks:
Commercial Club for an "all the mai:
all the time service." Col. John A.
Sleicher, editor of Leslie's Weekly,
has taken up the matter with the
Second Assistant Postmaster, who
advises him that magazines would be
given preference over catalogues and
advertising matter in the winter dis
patch of mail from Cordova. As this
has always been the rule and no
provision is mad efor an increase In
the weight limit for the mail from
here to interior Alaska points, the
following communication cannot be
taken at its face value:
“As a result of our request. Second
Assltant Postmaster-General Praeger
today issued an order that herearter
the delivery of magazines for news
dealers in Alaska should be facili
tated to the fullest extent. He specifi
cally directed that the magazines in
tended for newsstands in Alaska
should be given preference over cata
logues and advertising matter, with
which hitherto they had been
grouped.
“Under the system which has been
in effect unti this time, there were I
four classes of mail going to Alaska, j
Two-cent letter postage nnd post-1
cards were first class. Magazines
and newspapers sent to annual sub
scribers were second class; maga-!
zlnes for news dealers and circulars j
and catalogues were third eass. Thsj
fourth class consisted of books and I
parcel post.
l ^
“Mr. Praeger explained that there: „
were great difficulties involved In de-i
livering the various classes of mail' ;t
in Alaska. It sometimes ts necessary I •:
io pay a man ror a .a-mne tmul ::
The places from which complaints! :|:
have come so far are said to be the :|:
most difficult of all to make deliver-1 |:j
ies to during the winter. Under the |:|
existing system the third class mail ] $
i has been the chief sufferer and maga
zines intended for newsdealers were
classed with catalogues and circulars.!;:;
In other words, no differentiation was I |:|
I made .and both suffered alike.
“Under the order issued today! :;j
there will be a difference. Magazines :|:
Intended for newsdealers will be |:|
given the preference over advertising |:|
matter, and will be pushed through li
as rapidly ns possible in the winter
deliveries. There still may r>e some l|:
trouble, but I think conditions im- |||
mediately will improve to consider
able extent.”
