Presbyterian Church Fair,

The Fair given last week by the
ladies of the Presbyterian Church
was another striking and successful
illustration of their perseverance
and indefatigable energy in raising
funds for the completion of the new
church. 1t is said truly, that, "when
a woman will, she will" and the
handsome ediflce will certainly sug-
gest the great part borne in It's eX-
penses by the PRESBYTERIAN ladies.
On last Thursday there were four
booths each Offering different list
Of Useful and artistic articles for sale.
The candy booth, named New Year,
was managed by Misses Bess and
Mabel Rose. Ruth Bishop, Evaline
Harrington, Lucy Rochester and
Stella Hall. The Martha Washing
ton booth containing domestic artic-
les, made very attractive corner in
the church, where ladies in Martha
Washington costume served. These
ladies were Mesdames Wright, Pull
en-, Rose, and Watkins. The organ
alcove was effectively used for a
Fourth of July booth and was gay
with flags and pictures of American
heroes. Here pillows and other at
tractive pieces of woman's clever
ness with the needle and hit of silk
or linen were sold by Mesdames
Rannels, Daugherty, Klmberling
and Cowell.
Another corner made fair scene
of Puritan days, with Fireplace, tall
clock, draperies, cradle and chairs
of antique patterns. This Thanks
giving booth was presided over by
DANES in the Puritan garb Of Pris-
ella. Mesdames, Harrington, Smith
g atfney, Weitzell, and McManigal
who sold jellies, pies and other deli
cacies that go with the day. The
Christmas booth, holding articles of
various make and hue, ranging from
a child's doll to a Complicated pin
I cushion or dainty silk hood and ruff
fled child's apron, was one of the
T ost popular booths of the day.
This was managed by the girls Of
the @. E. Guild, and they were quite
as skillful in selling as making the
things for sale.

coal and iron, Captain Abercrombie be-
leves, will be found in abundance. All
the natural routes gradients considered
are confined to the keystone pass,
starting through the coast range noun
tains. Having passed this range at
point in the rear of Cordins pass, he
says there are three possible routes.
These are up Low river through the
Keystone pass to the head waters of the
Tasuna, thence down that river to It's
junction with the Copper, distance OF
40 miles from tidewater; second, up the
Heider valley to the konsina divide,
thence down to its junction with the
Copper, 80 miles from tidewater. and.
third. up the Heiden valley and over
the Thompson pass, thence into the
Copper river valley. Having reached
the Copper river valley. it is possible to
proceed in any direction, the deposits of
iron and coal debating the course of the
preliminary line.
The remainder of the report deals
with sites for military posts and outly-
ing stations. the Indians of the Copper
river valley, meteorological observa-
tons. the Copper river mining excite |
ment of 1898, the drainage and sub
drainage of the Copper river valley, the
economic geology of the country trav
ersed. and the insects that are found in
the Copper river region.

A SERIOUS QUESTION.
The boundary Dispute Is Sure to Lead
to Trouble.

Seattle, WASH. March 21.-John G.
Brady, governor of Alaska, arrived here
to-day from Washington, where he has
been since January looking after Alas
kan legislation. Concerning tine Alaska
boundary, Governor Brady said:
The Canadians will surely have a
fight on their hands if they try to move
the boundaries ON the Porcupine as
they have on the Stickeen and the Lynn
Canal passes. Do you think that 1000
Americans, every one of them well
armed. who have gone into the coun-
try and taken up claims upon what has
always been considered American ter
ritory, will let a handful of Canadian
policemen move the boundary line at
will?
This boundary question is a serious
thing and no one can tell how it IS
going to come out. Every member Of
the commission should come west and
make the trip to Alaska They should
at least come west of the Rockies, for
l understand that there are members Of
that commission who have not been
that far west"

THE ENGLISH ALLIANCE.
1t Receives Warm Words of Praise From
Admiral SanOson

London, March 22-The Times pub
fishes this morning letter from a cor
respondent in Bermuda, who describes
Rear Admiral SIMPSONS visit there
last month and gives IAN authorized
interview with the admiral"
According to the correspondent, Ad-
miral Sampson, remarking upon the
marvellous change in American opin-
ion," said:
Formerly England was regarded as
the only European power with which
the United States was likely to have
serious differences. Now we regard
England as our best, perhaps our only
friend. l cannot say whether this feel
ing will prove permanent, but l hope
it may. Possibly we could not hope
for more than England's moral sup
port, in the first instance, in any con-
flict with a continental power; but in
times of real difficulty it would ripen,
sooner or later, into defensive all-
ance.
Il say frankly that, in my opinion,
the United States has more to gain
from such an alliance than England
has. Therefore, / rejoice unfeignedly
at the change of sentiment in the
United States. I am not less gratifed
that no change Is needed in Great
Britain, and if any words of mine can
cement friendship calculated to hene-
fit the whole world, it is a pleasure to
myself and duty to my country to
utter them"

ATTEMPTED MURDER.

His ,Jailor


Portland, Ore, March 21.-Harry

of highway robbery hanging over him,
attempted to murder Tailor Edward
Dougherty in the county Jail to-day.
Tailor Dougherty was taking Tracy
from his cell ITO the court room, where
he was to plead to the several indict-
ments, when he drew a revolver and
quietly said: Unlock the corridor or
I'll kill you" This move on the part
of Tracy was presumably to release the
other prisoners confined in the corti-
doris awaiting trial and escape in the
confusion Dougherty, instead of obey
ing the command quickly dropped on
his knees. Just as the jaior dropped
Tracy fired and the ball whizzed by in
the air. This attracted the attention
of the deputy sheriff, who stood close
by. and he fired some shots at Tracy
who replied. In the meantime, the jail

gun and followed Tracy. AS he came in
