 Last Sunday night Rev. John Oliver announced to his congrega- tiOn that he had only few more ser mons to give the people of Jerome, as this was the year conference would make a change here. All will be very sorry to lose these two popular people of Jerome and hope to see them returned to the people here. Rev. Oliver is the kind of man neces- sary to build up church in a town of this kind and his work itself at tests the fact. Doubtless the Metho- dist church realizes the fact that the best are always wanted somewhere else.-Jerome Reporter.

It should be of the honest, practical kind, and its aim should be to help the natives to help themselves. These suggestions are merely thrown out by the Nugget. They are suscep- tible to amplificatiOn. The Eskimo will son perish entirely, unless the government of the United States takes him in hand and administers his affairs practically and rationallv. He is far better type of man than either the red Indian or the Filipino. But the government should not hold him responsible for being such and permit him to perish.
