NOME-SIBERIAN MAIL ,
SERVICE POSSIBLE
The possibilities for wcurinK' the
establishtinj nt of regular mail service
between Nome and Siberia is the sub
ject of some discussion in business
circles, following the receipt <»r an in
quiry from the head of the Alaska
government telegraph service at Se
attle as to whether ««• not there is mail
servkie between Nome and Sdberia.
The message was referred by the Sig
nal Corps to Postmaster Walsh, who
stated in reply that there is no official
service but that he has a large amount
of infill in the office addressed to Si
berian points.
The opinion Is expressed m several
quarters that in view' of the consider
able business carried on between Nanv‘
and ’Siberia a small amount of agita
tion may result in the e.stabKs-hincnt
of such service
j QUICK WORK IN

said that a quicker delivery of such a
huge shipment has never been accom
plished here and post mast c Walsh and
his assistants are well entitled to com
mendation for their excellent wo»k.
Following the distribution of the first
class matter a part of the office force

which made the total dispatch the
largest received here at one time in
many years.

REDECORATE PREMISES
The .more enterprising business men
of the community have either repaint
ed their store front’s during th® past
week or two or are eontemplnting do
ing an. With few exceptions, the lead
ing buaimess establishments have all
been redecorated and present a decid
edly improved appearance, especially
in contrast with the numerous dingy
[store fronts whose owners have so far
[failed to see the advantage of main
taining a piospeirout appearance. Paint
is in iinnny respects like charity In that
it covers a multitude of defects and
those who have taken advantage, of Its
embellishing qualities are deserving of
commendation. Dirty, unkempt fronts
are no credit to^the business manage
ment which penults them and are also
a decidedly poor advertisement for the
town. Among those who have so far
applied the charitable coat of •' pad)it
are A. Polet, Lomen Bros, Alaska
