Manager 0orbus.

MT. Corbus, the manager of the huge mercantile establishment at Treadwell, has changed his ad this week and the people will read and profit by it. We were pleased to know that Manager Corbus carefully reads the News each week and that it's contents and makeup are agreeable to bis taste. Whether he appreciates it because it is the only Gre ligious paper" in Alaska we do not know, but that he should is not ques- toned in our mind. MT. Corbus is a young man, but he is all business and the manner in which he manages that branch of the great mining company's interests shows that he is a valuable man. The first time we saw him we sized him up as one of those far away men, but socially he isa rattling good fellow, when you know him. He is not as tall as his brother, the superintend- ent, but resembles him in many re- spects. Whether he ever has any trou- ble, like Hcbson, in keeping the girls from kissing him we don't know, but he is certainly one of the best looking men in Alaska.

Very respectfully,
 RINGER HERMAN,
 Commissioner.

Prof. Graves of Wyoming has been made president of the Washington State University, which by the way is becoming one of the best institutions of learning in the country. The Seat tie papers have contained an alleged picture of the professor. We are slow to believe that the cut in the paper will give any one an idea of how the man looks, except that he parts his hair in the middle, a practice that ought to be prohibited by law.

Rev. Father Rene was impressed by the growth of Doug las City.

Economy, tact and close attention to business never fail to bring man a good trade. Smith, the fruit, confec- tionery and meat man, started in one room in this city. His business grew and now he is in two rooms and there is always someone waiting to do their trading. The secret of his success is that he buys the best, sells cheap and is always there. He is first to open, last to close. He never sleeps.

A YOUNG TAN AND Ills GIRL.
A Salt Water Bath with Ills Sunday Clothes on. Hard Luck for one of the nexlcan
 Mine Boys.

Mine Boys.
 There is a young man who works at the Mexican stamp mill little ways below Treadwell. He is not the only one, for they are many. He is unmar- ried, but how old he is, the color of his hair and eyes, whether he parts hrs hair in the middle or not are all mat ters we know nothing about for we are unacquainted with. him. This young man, as we are informed, has girl somewhere across the bay, some place near or at Sheep Creek, and last Sat urday he left on the II o'clock boat to make her a visit. He reached the cor rect place, but the next we hear of him he is making his way toward the wharf to take the evening ferry for home. Just how it happened we don't know, and he will probably never tell, but anyway the young man fell off the wharf into the bay with all his clothes on, and his Sunday clothes at that. He was pretty badly scared, no doubt, for he yelled and believed so that you could hear him a distance of three miles. Some teamsters heard his voice and took rope and t1shed him out of the water.
 We did not try to interview the young man and of course cannot give all the particulars, but these are the main facts.

THE CHURCHES,
Rev. Loyal L. Wirt in Ohman's iali. The Friends Mission. People Need Not Come
 plain of Poor Preaching.

plain of Poor Preaching.
 Rev. Loyal L. Wirt delivered a ser. mon at Ohman's hall last Sunday evening. The Congregational church people hold their services there for the present, but the pastor announced that ChriStmas services would be held in the new church; from which statement people will know that the building is nearing completion,
 The Rev. MT. Wirt was at his best on Sunday night. He chose for his snb' ject the fifth to the eighth verses inClu- sive of the fifth chapter of John, which relates to the healing by Christ of a certain man who had an infirmity for thirty eight years,
 Without copious notes it twould be i'm possible to give q description of the sermon, and this we did not take; but we can truly say that the sermon was worthy of a bishop. The eloquent di- vine has wonderful flow of language, is a profound thinker and pleasing in delivery, and such preaching cer- tainly will accomplish much good.
 Our attention was also especially di- rected to the opening prayer. It GOV eredsa wide range, as it properly should. With deep fervency he prayed for the salvation of souls by the divine Healer and a final gathering of the peoples of the earth into heaven. It was so ear, nest, so pure that it seemed to us that it must surely reach that heaven in which we believe, but which we feared our brother was skeptical concerning.
 It is wonderful what good effect such a sermon, such prayer has upon an audience. You could see in the faces of those present the pleasure and satisfaction that it produced. We are one of the number who do not believe that christianity is advancing, but we do believe that if every church mem- bership could hear such sermons, it would not be long until the world would be christianized. The people will go to hear preaching of the right kind. The life and teachings of Christ have been often told, but they go to hear them again and again when they are narrated by truly good man.
 Mir. c. N. Replogle, at the Friends Mission, chose for the theme of his dis course the words found in the second verse of the fourth chapter of Malachi: But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, as calves of the stall" He dwelt at some length on the fear of the ad- verse criticism of the world; and said that we should fear God and not man. He spoke feelingly of the hearts that needed the application of the healing power of "the Sun of righteousness" of the greet efficacy of that power, and eloquently alluded to the perfected state when ''ye shall go forth as calves of the stall"
 A portion ofthe time was spent in talk to the natives through an inter- preter, after which a general invitation was extendad to all to speak in testi- mony.
 The attendance was good; the inter est deep and sincere.

coHanlssIoner's Declsl0n.

The local Land Office at Sitka has re- ceived the following decision of the Commissioner of the General Land Office holding that entry cannot be made nor filings received by the local land offices in general homestead cases though they may be made with soldiers additional homestead scrip.
 Register and Receiver,
 Sitka, Alaska, Gentlemen:--
 I am in receipt of your letter of Oct. 3, 1898, transmitting the papers in the case of homestead entry No. 1, made October 4, 1898, by Adolph Ellefson, on a tract of unsurveyed land contain ng acres,
 It appears that you have also allow ed the party leave of absence from the land for period of nine months from October ,, 1898.
 You state that you desire ruling by this office as to the future acceptance of such filings; that you have inter preted the circular issued June 8, 1898, under the Act of Congress approved May H, 1898, (3O Stat, 409), ito mean that, while entry may not be perfected and patent issued until the system of public surveys is extended to this Dis trict, yet, in order that the bona f1de settler may have the advantage of record of bis date of settlement and occupancy of his land he may file in this (your) office his application and the usual accompanying affidavit" !" On page of the circular of June 8, 1898, relating to section of the Act of May l6, 1898, it is stated in rule three that existing homestead laws, while rec ognizing settlements on unsurveyed public lands, do not authorize the en- try or the patenting thereof until the public surveys have been regularly ex- tended over them; that section one of this act (May 14, 1S9S), however in terms authorizes the entry of unsur- veyed lands iD Alaska through the ex- ercise of soldiers additional homestead rights; but this does not apply to the general homestead right.
 Your action allowing said entry and leave of absence was, therefore, erro- neous, and Ellefsen's entry is accord ingly held for cancellation.
 Very respectfully,
 RINGER HERMAN,
 Commissioner.
