Seattle subscribers of the Dis
patch of November 3rd., aud 4th.,
a ad the Empire of November 2d,
aud 3d, may never receive their pa
pers. The Juueau postmaster baa
the Seattle papers ■wrapped ia a
bundle to be forwardeyd t<> th« Se
attle Postmaster to use his discre
tion la their delivery. The cause
of tht delay la delivery is a paid
local announcement of the Alaska
agent of a large California brewery
that the brewing concern yill for
the i»cxt 30 days deliver beer to
Alaska customers in case lots.
Under the state laws of Wash
ington newspapers containing li
tjuor advertisements cannot be de
livered in the state. The Juneau
publishers contend that the adver
tisement in question is In no wise
soliciting business or advertising
beer in the dry unit of Waghnigton
and therefore is no violation of
the Washington state law, the ad
veftisiue stating specifically that
the beer is for Alaska shipment and
consumption. Secondly under the
state law of Washington 110 brewery
could deliver in case lots without a
night aviation service.
incldently in connection jvith beer
adreitising the Postmaster General
made an important decision that
orewery advertising in behalf of
any organized propaganda is mail
able.
This ruling is covered In para
graph 11 ot the official bulletin is
sued cn September 18 as follows,
"Advertisements, circulars, and
other matter which are in the na
ture of a propaganda merely, which
purport lo 6et forth the advantag
es o' licensing rather than the pro
hibition of the sale thereof, or
which are argumnts pro and con on
th<3 prohibition question, but which
do not mention any particular
brsnd of intoxicating liquor or
statu the location of any place
where intoxicating liquor of any
kind may be procured, are not re

NK.HT SCHOOL VERY POPI LAH
(Douglas Island News)
The night school now being start
ed here nromises to be very popu
lar In all the branches which will b<
raucht and especially so in that °1
shorthand and typewriting.
Fifty-three enrolled tor study ol
the various branches at the pre
liminary meeting held Tuesday
night at the public school building,
of which number twenty-one, most
ly foreign born, signified their in
tentions of studying Englsh and his
tory, while practically all the oth
er thirty-two will take up short
hind and typewriting and perhaps a
dozen will include Spanish in their
courses.
Mrs. Coombs, who has taught
with great success in the schools of
Juneau, will be in charge of the
English and history classes, also
Spanish while shorthand and type
writing will be taught by Joseph
McMurtrey, also of Juneau, who has
occupied many positions pf trust
a» stenographer in Seattle and
e'sewhere. He is eminently quali
fied as an instructor and it i» for
tunate that his services have been
secured here.
Another meeting of the clagses
was held last night and others en
rolled for the course. The books
nectssary for the shorthand class
have not yet arrived, but In the
meantime the rudiments of the art
are being taught.
