IMMORTALITY IN ALASKA.
What One Who Has Visited That Land
Has to Say.

A news item in a late number OF
the JOURNAL spoke of the existence
of immortality in Alaska. Yester-
day evening it was the pleasure of
an attache of this paper to meet a
Marion county pedagogue who has
spent a portion of his life in Uncle
Sans more northern and western
possessions. He says that twen-
ty-two years ago himself and
friend strayed into that region,
and wintered with the natives in a
coast hamlet, near the mouth of
Cooks Bay, and at the base of the
Alaska peninsula. The people, he
said, were strictly honest, theft
never having been perpetrated by
man, woman nor child in all their
sojourn. "They were extremely So
ciable," he said, "and the best ma
tured people 1 ever met. 1 never
saw one of them out of temper; any
mishap or joke was greeted. with
laughter or patience, instead of with
the profanity and abuse of civilized
people. Their conjugal relations
were very happy and void Of all
quarreling and wrangling, although
their notions OF the marital relation
were rather peculiar, inasmuch as
they frequently exchange wives,
and when stranger or guest was
ed, their hospitality inclu-
ded a female offering along with
victuals, dnuk and shelter, This
promiscuous disposition" he contln-
tinued, "no doubt has proved too
strong temptation to the civilized
clergy, and they by immoral license
have changed an innocent custom
into debauchery. Before the con-
of whites they were,
without a doubt, among the most
moral people on earth"

That Mountain Pass.

1t is just probable that all this
fuss over the mountain pass, says
the Albany Herald, is over u good
sized canard. 1t is known that
there is a party of surveyors sent
out to take Typographical notes over
the line of the w. V. & G. NJ.
Wagon Road company's land grant,
and if inquisitive persons should
visit their camp aud ply them with
questions it would be very natural
for these men to give them u "big
fill, " and this they may have done.
At any rate the Oregon Pacific
has the route located, and about
fifty miles of track laid eastward of
Albany, besides several miles right
at the summit, and it would appear
to b. II somewhat difficult job to
prevent its eastward construction,
which will no doubt he resumed in
short time.

A Rising River.

The rains of the past few days are
bringing the waters of up percepti-
bly,. Steamboating can now be fol-
lowed with less difficulty. 1t will
also be boom to the suwmill men
as there are about 100000 feet of
logs along the banks OF the Luckia-
mute in Polk and Benton counties,
waiting for good hard rain to float
them down to the Salem mills
The saw mill here it is seXpected will
start up before many weeks, as they
are only waiting for the logs to
come down. If the river continues
rising logs will come down in
abundance.

The Fight Renewed.

The Dallas folks are circulating a
petition praying for a new court
house. The Independence folks are
circulating a remonstrance. Thus
it will be seen this fight is renewed
with the vig0r OF ancient days. 1t
would seem from actions that
the late unpleasantness Is not over.
1t also begins to look as though our
neighbors will have neither an un-
disputed county seat nor a new
temple of justice. More's the pity.

G, P. Terrill, of MehamA, has al
ready secured the right of way for a
railroad from Mill City via Mehama
to Stayton, and says he will be able
to obtain it for the whole line to
Turner. He also says there is a
great deal Of lumber ordered at
Mill City for Salem, provided rates
via Albany can be made satisfactory
and that people all along the line
above named are very anxious to
secure connection with Salem, and
that steps are now being taken to
induce the Southern Pacific to
build a feeder when the right Of
way is completed, as il soon will be.

Another Train Dally.

Manager II. KOehler of the
Southern Pacific passed through
ROseburg the other day and told
the Herald that the company had
no idea of extending the Eugene ex-

considering the matter Of placing
another train on the road to run the
entire distance between Portland
and San Francisco, and which
would pass through Roseburg in the

THE BUILDERS, EXCHANGE.

Many Facts as to the New Headquar-
 ters Which Will Probably be Esrab-
 IIshed Here.
 In conversation with Builder David H. Clark on Saturday evening many interesting facts concerning the proposed building pro- jeet of the new Builders exchange were as- certained by a representative of the COURIER. Messrs. Captain Samuel P. Crafts, president of the QEinnipiac Brick company, Charles E. Brown and Ell. Sperry have been appointed a committee to find site for building, es- timate the cost of erecting it, fitting it up, etc. They will also enquire and report with regard to renting a building. The idea in view is to have building which will be the headquarters of all builders and others be- longing to the association. There are about one hundred members of the association at present. Thirteen new members were added last week and three more have just come in, and there are a number more applications in hand. Boston has fine builders exchange, and so have a number of other cities, and the greater part of the system upon which the Boston exchange is carried on will be adopted to govern the new institution here. It is an- ticipated by the projectors of the movement that the New Haven exchange will be great success and De proportlonately as large as that of Boston. Here as there the members will probably be required to meet at certain hours and in this way, whoever wishes to find a contractor or builder, will not be forced to hunt him all over the city. Everything in a contract made must be furnished exactly as agreed, upon the standing of the exchange. Any builder guilty of deception in this way will be immediately expelled. Competition will also be rendered more friendly and fair in every way. The time of general assembly will probably be from Il to 1 or ?: The es- tablishing of this exchange, would undoubt- edly be a great elevator to the trade.

PRAISE SERVICE
AZ the United Church.

Al the United Church.
 A correspondent writes: Probably there Is no church in the city whose interior is more pleasing than the United church. No change of fashion can diminish the prismatic beauty of it's central ornament as it reflects all the eolors of the rainbow. To this was added last evening the beauty of music and song and also a hearty and sincere tribute of praise first to the Creator and next to some of our great poets and reformers, namely William Cullen Bryant and Cardinal Newman. both of whose hymns are sung by nearly all Chris tian people. The service was well attended and was of such a nature as will tend to pre- pare the listeners so that when the great summons comes they will with
 'sUnfaltering trust approach the grave
 Like one who wraps the draPery of his couch About him and lies down to pleasant dreams"

East Side M. E. Church

Rev. s. D. Paine preached to good oongre- gations yesterday morning and evening. At night he took for his text I. Samuel, 16-lS: Behold, have seen a man of Jesse, Beth lemite; that is cunning in playing and a mighty valiant man, and a man of war and prudent in matters and a oomely person, and the Lord was with him.
 He described the accession of Saul, the first King of Israel to the throne, and his wretch ed end. He then touched upon the good traits in the life of David, his successor. That he was an athlete, strong physically, a skillful musician. He was patriot, man who loved his country, possessed of good common sense, and above all a religious man. Mr. Paine made several strong points as he proceeded with the history of this great his- torical character.
 In the morning four were taken into the church, and in the afternoon Rev. J. Beach, D. D., held the fourth quarterly conference.
 Everything in this church seems to be in a very dourishing condition.

INTERPRETING OCCASION

At Trinity M. E. Church Xesterday-
 TwentY-Seven New Members Re-
 celved.
 Yesterday morning was of great interest at Trinity M. E. church. Twenty-seven new members were admitted, nineteen by profess sion of faith and eight by letter. The pastor very appropriately addressed each conmuni- cant by name, making suitable remarks to each. This calls to mind an interesting fact. When Dr. 10. Peck was pastor of the church he admitted about 150 at one service and ad- dressed each one separately and individually with appropriate injunction and counsel. The church was filled yesterday morning all most to it's utmost capacity. The congrega- tion of the church, always good sized, has grown greatly of late, which testifes to the excellent work done by Dr. Reed in the parish and his congregations attachment to him. Only a week intervenes before he leaves to take the presidency of Dickinson college.

 Cicero Petrlllo Has Fled.
 Cicero Petrillo, the seduoer of Raffalla Lavangna of Hsmden, has not been heard from. Dr. Oulman of Ss Lafayette street, this city, was arrested Saturday night on charge of malpractice upon the girl and placed under s1 ,000 bonds by Justice J. P. Miller of Hamden. He failed to secure bail and was lodged in the county jail
 Petrillo has wife and two daughters in Italy. A few months ago he came to this country and obtained work at the pump works of the New Haven Water company in Whitneyville (Hamden), where the father of the wroDged girl, who is also his uncle. is employed. On last Monday night Petrillo was arrested by Officer William Stannard of Hamden for seduction and placed under $200 bonds, Jonathan w. Pond of this city being bondsman. Another charge of abor- tion was brought, but when the officer went to rearrest Petrillo he had fled, jumping his $20O bond.
 Friends of Dr. Oulman fEd it hard to be- lieve that he has bean as deeply impl Heated in the affair as is supposed. He is an edu- cated man and writes and speaks several languages and at one time assisted in the clerical work at the rooms of the New Haven Colony Historical society. He has wife and several children, the youngest of which is only three weeks old. He came here a few years ago and maintained himself by teaching German, but of late has been de- voting most of his time to practising his pro- fession and was meeting with fair prospects of success.
