This railroad war in the senate is
becoming almost as interesting as a

Municipal ownership can't run as fast

If the railroads can get the friends
of rate legislation to scrapping they
will bo all right.

S-eady progress on tunnel boring is

at work. The average distance bored j

The snow is going rapidly now and
•i- soon as it disappears grading will
b. resumed from the present terminus
at the beginning of mile 47 to the first
tunnel, on mile 4'-1. Work on this
stretch was abandoned early in the
winter because of frequent snow slides.
As soon as the grade is finished rails
will be laid to within a short distance
Of the south i*ortal of tunnel 1, or
al>out two miles from the present
terminus.
Hr. Stewart Please Take Notice
Postmaster George M. Stewart of
Seattle could confer a slight favor
upon Seward and Valdez without any
damage to himself or his office if he
would instruct the farm hands who
are trying to handle mail down there
to hold Seward and Valdez mail for an
outside boat when one is booked to
sail within four days after an inside
boat. Some clerk devoid of reasoning
powers piled all the Seward mail on
the Santa Clara when she sailed the
evening of May 1. The Oregon sailed
the afternoon of May 4, brought later
mail and beat the Santa Clara into
Seward nearly two days.
A Sitka paper calls Juneau a little
town with large pretensions.
