MAIL CONTRACTORS IN
ALASKA LOSE MONEY
Valdez The application for appoint
ment of a receiver for the mail carry
ing firm of t rittfiulen kS; Miller was
refused by the court. This leaves the
mail contractor* in a peculiar position.
Crittenden, who has the contract from
the government ha* not sufficient
funds to enable bin. to distribute the
neces*ary supplies anil horse feed along
the trail for the coming season. Mil
ler, the other member of the firm, re
fuses to put any more money into the
partnership, but as he is also a bonds
man of Crittenden, his refusal to spend
more money will result in the govern
ment providing mail carriers and
charging the expense to Miller and the
other bondsmen. This tirm has a con
tract for carrying the mail between
Valdez and Eagle semi-monthly for
the next two years. They have been
working under this contract for two
years, and John Miller alleges that the
partnership has sustained a loss of $40
000, all of which he has been obliged
to stand.

Leader Declares Russia Is Awake
Hope for the early and complete suc
cess of the Russian revolution was j
held out by Anton St. Cherback, leader
of the present revolutionist organiza
tion of Russia to the members of the
Russian Socialist revolutionary society
of Chicago.
“There >s no cause for despair.’ he
declared. “The progress of the revo
lution has been wonderful. When 1
entered the work 1 believe l knew the
name of every worker in the cause in
all Russia. Now the workers, the ac
tive intelligent workers are numbered
by hundreds of thousands. Russia is
awake. There is standing-room only
in t h** schools of Russia to day, from
the lowest to the highest.
“The best evidence of the true state
of affairs is found in the fact that there
is no market for Russian land. It
sell> for almost nothing.”
S.t Cherback has been connected
with the Russian revolutionary move
ment for twenty-five years. In 1*93
he came to America with his family
and settled on a farm in California.
In he went back to Russia to take
part in the revolutionary movement
then beginning. St. Cherback was im
prisoned. When the Doutua met, its
tirst act was to demand his release,
which was granted.
Sign of Aquarius
The Romans got together and dedi
cated the first month of the year to
i Janus, the two-faced god. There was
some dissatisfaction over the dedica
tion but it was allowed to stand. Per
i sous born during the last half of this
month or the first half of the next start
out handicapped by the influence of
Aquarius, and in innumerable instan
1 ces have become piano tuners. Mo
zart and Mendelssohn belong to this
sign. Prof. Clem Harner is now a
member. Such men attain much, but
seldom realize the fulfillment of all
! their desires because they are disposed
to fiddle around and discuss the Pana
ma canal. An heir of Aquarius finds
it much easier to order a blue serge
suit than to pay for it. Like a turtle,
he is impelled to retire within himself
through his own sensitive nature when
asked to pay a bill. Their swift, soar
ing fancy often ends in their marrying
persons of less sympathetic planets
with disastrous results, the wife in al
most every iustance being allowed the
custody of the children and the old
home on Chestnut street.—Abe Mar
