ployes as “Uncle Josh" is considered ,
to be the oldest employ of the pos-;
tal service in the United States. He
has served Uncle Sam for a period

der ten different postmasters in

service has lost only two weeks.
Billings first entered the mail j
service as a carrier of a paper route j
the Daily Union Vedette, a publica- J
tion issued at Fort Douglas, near;
here. He carried a rifle while de- j
' livering the paper, he explained, be- j
i cause the publisher of the paper |
and some of its subscribers fre-'
' quently disagreed. In the early j
* days the arrival of mail was an j
‘ event, particularly during the win-j
' ter, and when it did arive it was!
wet and frozen. The pouch had to J
be placed against the stove to be j
thawed out and as the ice melted,,
! a letter would be released for some ,
citizen of the community.

01 REGAIN SOON
ALONG RAILROAD
With the advent of spring: and
warm weather, the question of sur
facing the roadbed from Nenana to
the end of steel is now under the
consideration of the A. E. C. offi
i cials, and it is expected that the
| work will be taken in hand soon. j
F. D. Browne, engineer in charge,
stated that the extent of the thaw
will determine just when the work
j should commence. The roadbed,
; Mr. Browne said, will probably settle
; unevenly when the frost leaves the
ground, this depending largely on
i the amount of sunlight bearing on
its surface for a greater or lesser
| length of time. Parts of the road
I that are affected by the sun’s rays
, all day long will necessarily thaw
! out sooner than such portions as
: are in the shadow of the high banks
, |
! or woods through which it runs.
I The work of preparaing for sur
facing operations is going ahead
rapidly and it is expected that the'
I dragline excavator will soon be
ready to commence operations and
get out the necessary gravel..
The preparatory work is now well
along and no time will be lost, Mr.
Browne said, in taking this work,
in hand.

CANNIBALS CAUSE
AUSTRALIA WORRY
_
MELBURNE. — The Australian
naval vessel Fantome was sent to
the New Hebrides island group
recently to chastise a tribe of can
nibals accused of having committed
murders. The man-eaters occupied
the northern side of Malekula Is
land and were accused of the
murder of a French cocoanut
planter.
As the New Hebrides are owned
jointly by France and Great Britain,
the Australian warship was selected
to punish the savages. The Fan
tome landed a punitive force of 65
officers and men at Malua Bay.
where the party was joined by 18
native guards.
Having reached the outskirts of
the village where the murderers
were supposed to be hiding, the
commander of the expedition sent
an interpreter to parley with the
villagers for the surrender of the
men suspected of the murder.
Groups of armed savages from
the interior were hiding on the hill
sides overlooking the village and
two of their chiefs shouted to the
villagers that if any of them sur
rendered to the expedition the vil
lage would be fired upon. Seeing
that the island tribesmen were mak
ing all the trouble, the punitive
party opened fire upon them with
machine-guns and. followed this
with a charge by a detachment of
bluejackets, who took the ridge
and drove the savages out. This
ended the affair, the expedition
suffering no casualties.
British and French residents de
clared the cannibals had been
taught a severe lesson which would
insure the future safety of the
white residents of Malekula.
