litos did while the Saviour was still on earth.
 But now comes the complete para lyZer.
 Magnetism is spiritual power" said the speaker. Of course he referred to animal magnetism, because he spoke of the extraordinary influence some men possessed over others. In other words. spiritual power is mesmerism. What does the christian world think of such teaching anyhow?
 Why ministers of the gospel will preach such sermons when there are so many good, true things to be told, is a mystery to us. How can any man expect his discourses to accomplish any good when he perverts the bible and teaches isms and doctrines that are not supported by it. We protest against it. It is an offense to the God in whom the people believe and posi- tive detriment to those who would wish to believe in the bible and follow its precepts.
 We do not charge intentional wrong. The gentleman, whose sermon we criti- cize, is esteemed in the community in which he lives. We would, oh, so much rather have praised his efforts and eX- tended words of encouragement. h. fidelity is the great impeachment in the path of religious work. Good sound bible teaching will break down this barrier, false doctrines will make 1t stronger. There are many things ln the bible that do not conform to the laws of nature that God has made. Ii we judge him and his acts by human standpoint, we claim an equality with Him in knowledge. If he made these laws, will we say that he cannot and has not in special instances set them aside? Who will believe in the i'm maculate conception if we shall judge God by the laws by which he governs and brings mankind into existence? Who would believe that Christ and the apostles performed miracles? If we are going to discard the biblical ac- count of the creation of man, why not discard the plan of atonement, the re- surrection and everything else that the bible teaches that does not correspond with our ideas as to what the Creator of the universe should have done.
 The pulpit is not the proper place to teach evolution. At best it is a com plete humbug and the minister who does should be sincere and boldly come out and join the infdels and agnostics, where his teachings will do but little harm

Odd Fellows Excursion.

The excursion trip to the Taku, last Friday, under the auspices of the 1. O. o. F., Alaska Lodge No. 1, was most heartily enjoyed by many of the best people of both Juneau and Douglas City. The day, while not fair, was pleasant, and the waters of the channel and inlet were smooth as crystal floor.
 From Juneau to the glaciers at the head of the Taku inlet is distance of about 30 miles. These glaciers were the objective point of the trip and we'll repaid all efforts to reach them. Chunks of floating ice meet the boat we'll down the inlet and increase in number and size as you proceed until finally when you reach the foot of the glaciers a dense mass of them effectually block the course of the steamer.
 The two glaciers are named the Win dom, which is called 8 dead glacier, and the Foster, very much alive. 1t needs no explanation from a guide to tell which is alive, for the uninitiated may see at a glance the look which even in glacier bespeaks death, or the bright, active, glistening evidences of life and growth. The glaciers are in deed beautiful sight and kodaks and cameras were in constant use, in the

hands of professionals as we'll as ana.

hands of professionals as we'll as anna teurs during the stay at that point.
 To attempt a description of the glaciers or the beautiful scenes that were constantly changing, would be presumptuous, and no one realizes how much so until they stand and gaze upon the monster mass of ice. Each glistening glacier, each massive noun tain, each rocky gulch seems to take to itself personality or an individuality that words can no more describe than they can describe the soul of man.
 The eXcursionists were all delighted with the trip and loud ill their praises of the kind Captain who did so much to make the day pass pleasantly. A vote of thanks and three cheers heartl- ly given only partly served to express the good feeling that existed. Capt. Crockett is an ideal captain for an eX- cursion boat, or any other kind of a boat for that matter, and he worked diligently all day for the pleasure and comfort of his passengers.
 Alaska Lodge No. 1, l. 0. 0. FS of Douglas City, is an organization of which our city may we'll be proud. 1t is composed of the best men on the Island and they carry the fundamental teachings of their order into their lives. The lodge should be encouraged in every way possible by our citizens, ana the young men of the community, who have not already done so, can not do better than make application for mem bership.

ENLARGING THE DOCK
Extensive Improvements at the TfeadweH
 Water Front.

Extensive Improvements at the TreadwelI
 Water Front.
 The Treadwell people are enlarging their dock facilities, and also rebuild ing the present wharf
 ''The News readers would like to know the extent of the improvements that are being made to your dock" said the scribe to Manager 4. w. COrbuS as he stood in the door of the warehouse in- tently gazing at the men at work and vigorously putting away at fine Havana cigar that mingled it's frag rance with the breeze from the mud flats of the low tide that then prevailed
 After a moments reflection, he re- piled: "We are rebuilding, or should perhaps say, strengthening and level ing the wharf, which has sagged under 1 the great weight of the concentrates. When this part of the work is done, the dock will be extended on the south one hundred and fifty feet, which will give frontage of 250 feet"
 "It is reported that you are going to ship some of your sulphates in bulk when the wharf Is completed, is such the case:"
 "Yes when the 150 feet are added to the wharf track will be run onto the new part and the sulphatcs will be taken in cars onto the dock and dumped into a chute that will convey the sulphates into the barges Colorado and Richard III, and tugs will tow them to the smelters. This will do away with the trouble and expense of sacking the concentrates as has been the custom heretofore"
 The Treadwell people are also chang ing their railroad tracks leading to the various mills and in places putting down heavier iron There is always something new at Treadwell.
 Manager Corbus is a very modest young man and he didn't know he was being interviewed. If he had, we would not have got the information we did, but the News is after the news and is bound to get it, by fair means if we can-but we will have the news,

 Friend Hopp,-We reached this place on the 18th inst. after a pleasant trip of nine days in an open boat from Ben nett. Our trip was without incident and we shot White Horse, Five Fingers and Rink Rapids without loss or acci- dent of any nature.
 Hundreds passed us on steamers, bound for the "HootalinQua rush." q recent discovery of very rich placer re- ported. This find is altogether eclipsed by the Cape Nome excitement which is still hurrying hundreds down the river. It is reported that 2000 persons have left this point alone for the Snake river diggings. All information relative to either find is unsatisfactory from any point of view and much is conflicting. The transportation companies are reap ing a rich harvist out of the usual stampede
 Dawson has grown rapidly and prop erty that could be had for the taking last summer is now worth thousands of dollars. General business is quiet DuG SJSdOy dllNl OLS WluOCI OuOlOOA AS excellent. There are probably three thousand idle men in the town now and some 2OOO have left since the river opened. Labor of all kinds, skilled mechanics and wood butchers, are far in excess of the demand and hundreds of hungry, hopeless men walk the streets. The man that has won in this land of snow and gold is rare, and a hard luck story is the refrain of nine tenths you meet. Of the seventy-four that made up the National City expedi- tion with which l sailed from San Fran cisco on the 7th of August, 1897, not one has made fortune, three are dead, about half have made wages, and the others are dead broke or gone back to the states.
 Rev. L. l.. Wirt passed through on the 10th inst. en route to Eagle City, Rampant and Cape Nome. He was well and seemed to enjoy Che trip. Mrs. Ross arrived here safely and is pleasantly situated in her future home.
