Methodlsm in Alaska.

The movements of the M. E. church in Alaska have, strange as it may ap. pear, been exceedingly slow, but the Puget Sound bishop concluded to neg lect this field no longer and sent an Oregon man, Rev. E. V. Smith, to Ju- neau to organize the forces in that city and on Douglas Island.
 The Rev. Mir. Smith is a young man of fine abilities as preacher and an earnest christian worker, and we be- lieve the members will find in him a desirable leader and teacher.
 He preached his initial sermon in the Congregational church in this city last Sunday evening, this opportunity be- ing afforded him through the kindness of Rev. MT. Cole. He chose for his sub- iect the 16th verse of the 5th chapter of Matthew from which he preached a splendid sermon which was full of new ideas and christian thought
 Arrangements will be made to hold regular services in this city, an an- nouncement of which will appear in the columns of the News.

Three Trips a rlonth.

The City of Seattle makes three trips a month between Seattle and Skagway, and she makes the trip in less time than any boat on the run. She "out- flies" them all. She has large, beauti- ful staterooms, her social hall is ele gant, and the dining room is separate and away from the social hall. In all respects she is the finest boat to travel on that sails into Alaska. Make trial trip on her and you will travel on no other.

Too nanY Women. .

The Treadwen people sent an expert Chinese cook to superintend matters in the kitchen at the Congregational church last Friday evening. The Chi naman arrived in good time and soon found himself surrounded by host of charming women and chocolate cream like girls. The Chinaman took in the situation at the first glance and made a rush for the door yelling, "tloo many women" Some ladies captured the Ce- lestial at the door and tried to get him back, but it was no use. He insisted there were too many women there to suit him and away he went, and he did not come back, either.

A pRospEcTOR's FUNERAL.
The Body of Charlie Neck Found and Buried
 by Friends.

Mir. J. P. Bartels, who lately return
 ed from trip to the Endicott river,
 brings the report of the finding of the
 body of Charlie Neck who lost his life in that turbulent mountain stream last May.
 Charlie Neck, a German from St. Louis, Mo-, came to Alaska about year ago, and for time worked on the White Pass R. R. About the 10th of last March Mir. Bartels met Neck, in company with Nick Snyder and George Gering at James Bay. They were look ing for the Endicott river and, as MT. Bartels was bound for that point, they all went together and camped near each other at the foot of that river On the morning of May 22nd, Charlie Neck, Nick Snyder and George Gering started up ridge or hog back prospecting and at 3 or o'clock in the afternoon were making their way down the snow-flled gulch through which flows the noun tain stream called the Endicott river. The walking was bad, and at one place snowslide had swept the rocks bare above a place where the stream tumbIed 15 or 20 feet to the rocks be- low. The party decided to cross over on the other side to secure better foot. ing. Nick and George had crossed over in safety, but Charlie fingered to examine some rock. George called to him to come on, and he and Nick start ed on when they heard a noise and, on looking back, they saw Charlie disap- pear down through the snow and ice. Hurrying back to the spot they called to him and he answered "Oh, George"
 They had no rope but Nick took his leather suspenders and Georges leath- CT belt and tied them to a pole and reached down to the unfortunate man, but the suspenders broke and they were helpless. George hurried to the next camp after a rope and he and Mr. BarteIs soon returned, but were met near the edge of the gulch by Nick, who told them that there was no use to go on, that Charlie Neck was dead.
 They were only short distance out of the canon, when a great mass of snow and ice came tearing down the gulch and wiped away all marks of the terrible scene just enacted. Had they made any further effort to rescue Keck, they too would have been swept to terrible death.
 September 22ud last, Nick Snyder, John Kemp and Mir. Bartels left Doug las for the Endicott river. There they met an Indian who told them that the body of man had been found and bu- ried, but they did not believe him. On Sept. 10th they found an arm, leg, and part of skull, and the next day the remainder of the body except one arm. The flesh was mostly off of the body when found and the clothing was in strings. A part of an old country gray soldiers coat was found, which was identified as belonging to the dead man. The remains were taken to a high bank and buried, and a cross, bearing the name, age and date of death of the deceased, was erected over the grave.
 The Endicott river is about 70 miles from Douglas, on Lynn Canal, and there, 4 miles up the river, lies all that is earthly of Charlie Neck, who is only one of the many who have given up their lives in the struggle for gold. Charlie Neck was 38 years of age, and leaves a wife and seven children at St. IJOuis. Mo.

report of Rev. Robt. Forbes, presid'

N. E. conference: Debts have been
paid at Little Falls. W. 81. Easton
pastor; at Warren, E. F. Spicer
pastor, and at Two Harbors, J. G.
Croler, pastor. Grace church, Du'
luth, has reduced ite debt from
$4,000 to $4,000. The success of this
is due chiefly to Brother Geer, the
pastor, who with unflinching cour-
age undertook the task of saving
theimperilled property.

Kosella, whe was charged with de.
stroylng three fence posts belonging
to John Ledo. The evidence does
not show that Kosella's action was
willful. The cause of the trouble is
some land which is in dispute. Some

The mayor approved the sewer as.
sessment resolutions. If there is any
chance for the city to get back justly
and legally it's expense for sewers, it
should have that chance. If, on the
other hand, the objections brought
against the resolutions by some of the
local lawyers aregood, the matter may
as we'll be settled now as any time.
It is claimed that even if the resolu.
tions are valid, which is denied, cost
of the main sewer cannot be collected
as it was built over six years ago,
and according to a decision of the
Supreme court, such time outlaws
the tax. Further, the outstanding
bonds [cannot be called in, it is
claimed, and the city will have to
continue paying the interest until
the bonds mature. According to
these objectors, the money, if COL
lected. would have to remain in the
city treasury and not be available
until the time the bonds became due.
The money could not be used for
other purposes. Still another objec-
tion 10 that while the main sewer is
assessed on the basis Of $2.25 per
foot, it did not cost any such sum,
not even $1.25 per foot. There are
Other objections besides these, such
as double taxation, all of which de-
serve consideration. We do not
know of anyone of those assessed who
objects to paying his share, provided
that share is equitably and fairly as
sessed, and provided there is no
double taxation. The precedent
made by the council, however, if it
stands, means next year the assess
ment of street improvements to
abutting property. There is no; dis.
tinction in principle between sewers
and the grading and filing DISTRICTS.
