Menaced by Destructive
Doctrines of Radical
ism, Avers Woman.
Seattle, Aug. 25.—The direct
ors of the Police Relief Associa
tion have calledQ in loans of
$2,500 made to Sergeant Frank
Olmstead live years ago. The
association, which has a fund of
$38,000. is now’ endeavoring to
force repayment from Olmstead
because he borrowed money at 6
per cent per annum and is using
it to loan to other policemen at
interest rates of 38 per cent per
annum. _
Tokotna-McGrath’s
‘Great’ Summer Mail;
Mail for Tokotna and McGrath, com
ing via Holy Cross, arrived here early
Tuesday morning in charge of Con
tractor Jones. The Tokotoa instal
ment, amounting to 5SQ pounds, was up
to the usual standard, much of it. espe
cially the second class matter, being of
May vintage, which with anywhere
near fair treatment should have
reached here at least with the Juiv
raail, if not with, the June. Tokotnans
are getting their mental relish from
papers, received in this last mail, bear
ing date anywhere from May 2(i to
June 15. while Ophirites are deriving
■their pabulum from second class mat
ter dated in early August.
The reason for this discrimination
Du Rand’s
Cafe and

Flat City
against Tokotnn and McGrath—and it
is disci unination of the rankest kind—
is due to tl'.e fadt that.no more titan 600
pounds of mail is permitted to come for
either of these places via Ophir, while
any amount in excess of those figures
is routed from llolv Cross to go through
the lower rivers portage to Bethel, to
be forwarded up the Kuskokwim on the
Tana. And so Tokotnans and Mc
Grathiles will, iu about another month,
if they are patient and survive that
long, be receiving second class matter
digested several weeks ago bv the resi
dents of a community less than 35 miles
distant—to say nothing of a mass of
first class or letter mail, also routed
via Bethel, of vast importance to the
citizens of the communities discrim
inated against.
It’s a great summer mail system,
we’ll say.

Peace is something that requires

Plotters, as a rule, run up bigger
bank balances than thinkers.

shows poor judgment by displaying it.
Strong men grow stronger through
