Governmental Discrepancy
Just published by the department of the interior, office,
of territories, is a 150 page booklet, Mid-Century Alaska. It!
contains all sorts of information about the territory and some
very fine pictures.
Two things puzzle us about the booklet however:
One: how did the picture of Kodiak get printed in re
verse and why didn’t someone catch the error?
Two: how come the post office department which for
bids the mailing of newspapers with anything about the
Nenana Ice Pool because it’s a lottery, lets the Interior De
partment mail the booklet with full details in it on the lottery
and others of a similar nature?
