Secretary Alger has written to the citi-
zens Klondike committee of Tacoma,
Wash, regarding the order for a military
reservation in Alaska. This committee
wanted to know how persons seeking busi-
ness locations on the reservation should
proceed, and expressed doubts as to the
feasibility of the reservation. Secretary
Alger refers the committee TO the regula-
lions issued November IL. and adds:
'One Of the purposes of the government
in declaring the reservation is to prevent
monopoly instead of fostering 1T.
THE power Of permanently regulating
the disposition and use of the public do
main in Alaska Is vested in Congress- and.
pending legislation. the occupation of To-
cations by troops in that country. and the
setting aside of military reservations. as an
incident to such occupation, are solely IN
the interests of law and order, and the
safety and welfare of the native and in

First, What is it? 1t Is the provision We
make for the study of the lesson by every

stress Is laid on offerings, as we wish to
avoid as much as possible the idea that we
take their names in order to increase our
receipts. Several, however, give regularly
and many others when they can, to the
missionary collection, and at the monthly
meeting of the home departments seldom
fail to make some report.
Where There In No Provision.
1--WE have members belonging to other
churches, where there Is no such provision
for them, or where there was none at the
time when they Joined u.s. but We always
suggest their joining In their own church,
If possible, and are heartily glad to have
them withdraw to enter into active work
in their own Sunday school, having been
led to take an interest in the lessons
through their connection with US.
