S - ittie. April 20.—Seattle inter
ests are willing and able to provide
adequate passenger freight and mail
service from Seward to Western Al
as k a and Alaska Peninsula points,
there being no necessity to call on
!• e government to provide a vessel,
a> cording to information submitted
to J. L,. McPlierson, assistant to the
president of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce. The chamber for three
years has tried repeatedly to bring
i>nt the establishment of such serv
ice. The interests which conferred
with Mr. McPherson announced they
are in position to place a 400 ton
steamship on the route and maintain
a schedule of one round voyage a
month during the winter and two
round voyages a month during the
rest of the year.
"Ever since the steamship Dora
was withdrawn about three years
ago." said Mr. McPherson, "the west
ward service from Seward has been
outrageously inadequate. The mail
should be handled by a vessel able
to meet the passenger and freight
traffic requirements ot the country.
T!:e Chamber has labored hard for
the last three years to have the con
dition remedied. The House commit
tee on territories will begin investi
gating the matter in a few weeks. It
has full data bearing on the prob
lem."
Washington, April 20.—Postmas
ter General Hays called a conference
of the Presidents of the seven unions
connected with the Postal service
to arrange some plan whereby they
may work togather to carry out the
plan "Humanize the Postal Service."^
Small Number
for Active Duty
The following information being
of'interest to Reserve Officers and to
those contemplating entry Into the
Reserve Corps as officer is furnished
for publication;
(a) "On account of the necessity
for economy in expenditures and
other considerations it will be possi
ble, in the immediate future, to call
but a very small number of reserve
officers to active <iuty for training
purposes. Prior to Juno 30, 1922,
no reserve officer will be called to
active duty for training without his
consent. Available funds and other
consideration^ will probably make it
impossible to call all those officers
who request active duty for short
periods of training.
lb) "During the time speciiied, to
June 30, 1922. the organization of
units of llie Organized Reserve and
the assignment of reserve officers
thereto will bo proceeded with.'
Such assignments will not demand a
material amount of time of reserve
officers.
(c) "The present number of Re
serve officers is sufficient. Those who
now hold commissions are urged to
defer any withdrawal from the Re
serve contemplated by them until
the Organized Reserve has been
formed and definite policies for its
training formulated. When such
has been done and regulations gov
erning the Officers' Reserve Corps
have been published, reserve officers
will have a better understanding of
their obligations, duties and privil
eges and will be better qualified to |
determine whether or not other in
terests necessitate their withdrawal ]
from the Officers' Reserve Corps. The I
present reserve consists of veteran
officers of the World War whose mor
al and material assistance iu the
building up of the Organized Re
serve will bo a factor in the efficien
cy of that force and the state of pre
paredness of our reserve forces."

Minneapolis Minn—Miss A Louise
Larson of lliis city recently received
a letter from President Harding
stating that if the rest of the people
in the l.'nited States would follow
Mifs Larson's example our "coun
try's econwnic problems would not
long await a satisfactory solution."
The President wrote congratula
ting Miss Larson j.i the fact that she
has bought a Thrift or a War Sav
ing Stamp every day since their is
sue. December 5. 1II17. President
Harding's letter follows ill part:

"I will treasure tiii3 letter with
the President's rfig-iature to my dy

become an heirloom in our family.
Naturally. I think it is the most won
derful letter that over came through

.Miss Larson says that she is con
tinuing to buy her Thrift or War
Savings Stamp day in and day out
and that she has rolled up a desir
able nest-egg. She advises every
body else to try it "just for th"? fun
of it."
Seattle. April 20.—"We are satis
fied that at last the tide lias turned,
and that interior Alaska is steadily
going to build up." said Martin A.
Pinska. pioneer merchant of Fair
banks who arrived from the North
on the Admiral Watson. "Our young
men who went to war are returning,
while many whom they met in the
service are interested in the North
and expect to try their luck in the
territory." Pinska thinks the future
of the interior depends on agricul
ture and says that it has been dem
onstrated beyond doubt that in a
short time they will be able to feed
all of Alaska with both grains and
meat. The new Hour mill at Fair
banks is a pronounced success, he
says, and has been the means of at
tracting numerous homesteaders to
the district.
Haines Notes
Haines, April 19.—Dr. Pryer, who
took a lease on the building of J. H.
Chisel has arrived in Haines with
his wife, and is busy putting his
place in order for his drug store,
which he Intends running in connec
tion with his practice as physician.
Robert Watt, and Pat Murphy,
have gone up to Rany Hollow, to
get things in readiness for the sum
mers work as Mr. Wiley is expected
to arrive very soon, and It is a tore
gone conclusion, that when he gets
here, things will be doing in the
Rainy Hollow country.
Work on the Government road be
tween Haines and Rainy Hollow has
begun. Foreman Joseph McKenzie
took a crew of men up to Wells last
Saturday to begin work.
Mr. Gray, the principal of the pub
lic school is spending every minute
of time that he can spare from the
school^at his homestead up the Chll
koot Inlet, near the homestead of
P. B. Allen.
The town is putting gravel on a
portion of the Main street in front
tlie store of G. W. Hinchman, which
will be a great improvement to the
street, as the ground there is some
what springy.
Lieut. Harris has received by wire
the sad news, that his mother who
was living in Georgia, has passed to
the great beyond. The many friends
of Lieut. Harris sympathize with
him in this great loss .

«>i\ Says One of City's Sucessful
X urseft.
The Seattle P.-I. of April 14 car
ries a two column picture of Miss
Mary McArdle, surgical nurse and
anethetist in the West and West
Dental Surgery in Seattle. ,
.Miss McArdle is well known to
many Alaskans who have received
care and comfort at her hands and
tliey will be interested in the arti
cle in the Seattle paper.
In these days of specializing in all
professions MiSs McArdle holds an
important position in the West and
portant position in the West and
West Surgery, where oral surgery in
every branch is practiced. The of
fices of these brothers are in the
Cobb building in Seattle, where hun
dreds of patients are treated and
where Miss McArdle assists in the op
erations as well as having charge of
the after treatments.
The article accompanying the pic
ture follows:
"Surely you can tell the age of
people by their teeth But you don't
have to. They tell you themselves
and with their ages they tell their
family histories and their am.bltions
and their hopes and fears." That's
what Miss Mary McArdle, surgical
nurse and anaesthetist, says of her
work. "It about half diplomacy,"
says she. "You treat their brains
as well as their teeth, for you al
ways hurt the patient who knows
he will be hurt and you seldom
wound so much as the feelings of
the patient who believes he's as safa
in your chair as he is on the parlor
sofa." Miss McArdle is said to be
I one of the city's most expert anaes
thetists. She has been at her pres
j ent position two years and since
1914 a Seattle trained nurse. Her
training was in Vancouver, B. C..
] General Hospital and in other Cana
dian cities.
Seattle, April 20.—Since the raem
' orial oil laud leasing bill was passed
| by Congress and approved by for
| mer President Wilson on March 11,
1920, more than 700,000 acres of

I oil prospectors, have been placing

for a ?60,000 hotel at Anchorage.
