of revenue to the mission as we'll as giving the boys that are brought up in the mission profitable work to do. Another work that is car ried on, which is also of valuable assistance to the mission. as we'll as the boys, is gardening and cat tle-raising. A good market can be found for garden stuff at Valdez and other towns of Southern Alaska, and it is the plan to make Wood island large farm where stock-raising and farming can be carried on extensively. It will make employment for the boys and girls who graduate from the mis- sion and will be the means of mak. ing good men and women out of them. What to do with the chil- dren after they leave the mission has been problem, and Mir. Coc believes that it can be solved in this way. If the children are sent back to their homes and former surroundings, they will naturally drift back into their old ways of living. If given something to do in a new home they make good and thrifty people.
 This, the writer believes, is Mir. Goes idea, and it is for his up-to- date methods, broad-mindedness. ability and readiness to do hard work, and for his unselfsh and sacrificing labors among the DO, r native people that he is respected and loved by all who know him. There are very few missionaries that have so many good things said of them or are SO respected by all classes of people as Mir. Coe is, and his work and labor at the Kodiak Baptist mission will he a monu- ment to his faithful labors and also that of his estimable wife and other workers.

records of the institution show that 40 males and 36 females, 76 in all, have been received at the mission. A few have died, number have been sent to the Carlisle Pa. school and some have completed their time limit and gone to their homes or settled down and are make their own living. There are now 34 children at the orphanage and more are continually arriving from various sections of Southern Alaska.
 The mission property consists of a large tract of land with ten or twelve acres under cultivation i; two large dormitory buildings, a peat and connections church build-

THE KODIAK
 BAPTIST MISSION.
Good Work Being Done Among Native Children at Ko-
 diak Mission.

One of the best and most wisely conducted missions in Alaska is that at Wood island known as the Kodiak Baptist orphanage. There are older and much larger missions in Alaska, but considering the size, the number of workers, the number of children cared for and the amount of money invested in the work each year, there is no mission in Alaska doing more good for the native children.
 The Kodiak Baptist orphanage is situated on Wood island about one mile from the town of Kodiak in one of the most beautiful spots in Alaska. The island is covered with spruce and hemlock and there are rolling hills, deep canyons and a beautiful sea coast. In some places are great, rugged bluffs and in others long. white sand beaches.

ing, barns, stables and silos, dry houses and other necessary build- ings needed for the mission work. farming and fishing. The larger and older of the two dormitories is known as the mission building and Is large, two and half story building, used as a girls dormitory and for school purposes. Two years ago the Winch dormitory fo' boys was erected and is nice and commodious building well adapted for its use. The home of Mir. Coe adjoins, or rather is an annex to this building. These buildings stand on a prominence overlooking small fresh water lake on which the children skate in the winter and boat in the sum- mer. The whole presents a neat and business-like appearance, and reminds one of the east more than anything seen in Alaska, The cattle in the meadows, the horses at work pulling the blow or haul ing hay, chickens about the stables, ducks and geese on the lake re- minds one of the old farm back in the states.

Mir. Coe will be found teaching the boys to do these things and help ing and encouraging them in their work. And he knows that it is with the native boys as we'll as with the white, that "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" and he enters heartily with them in their sports.
 In and about the house can be found Mrs. Coe and Mrs. Campbell, her faithful helper, and others, teaching the girls to sew and cook and to do all kinds of homework. And not only are the children of the mission taught these things, but the native people from the ad.

The climate is as fine as can be fOpnd in Alaska. Vegetables grow tO perfection it is a home for Der ries, and successful experiments are being made with fruit trees. Grass is abundant in the summer, and hay is put up each season for winters use. The waters abound in salmon, halibut, cod and other fish.
 This mission is conducted under the auspices of the Women's Bap- tist Home mission society of the United States, with headquarters at 5lO Fremont Temple, Boston, Mass. The work has been in pro- gress for the past nine years, and is under the able management of Rev. Curtis P. Coe, and better man for the place would be hard to find.
 The purpose of this mission is to provide Christian home and training for destitute children. It is mission for the natives, hut no homeless child is turned away re- gardless of age, color or sex. The

 A government school is conduct ed in the mission building to which all the children of the mission who are old enough to attend as well as the children from the island. A good teacher is always provided and the very Lest of books and sup plies are furnished by the govern ment.
 Dr. Chas. F. Mills, the resident physician, looks after the health of the mission family as well as of the people of Wood island and Kodiak. His services have been of much benefit to the people of that section.
 The maintenance of the mission is provided by various christian people, churches and organizations through the Woman's Baptist Home mission society and costs about 5000 year. More money could be profitably used. Mir. Coe has started fishing industry in connection with the mission that will some day bring in a large rev. enue. Last year several hundred

christian institutional mission. Ali air of gentility and kindness per meates the whole surroundings that is seldom experienced at other missions. The children are clean. well fed and happy. The missionar- ies are in love with the work and are loved by the children and it seems as one large happy family. Mir. and Mrs. Coe are "father" and mother" to. all the boys and girls snd they care for them in a parental way.
 Should you have an opportunity of visiting this mission you would probably find Mir. Coe out with "his boys," with his coat off, teach ing them how to make garden, raise vegetables, plant trees, or out in the field cutting hay, or perhaps instructing them in the best method of salting or drying fish.

IT'S UP {. TOTHE REPUBLICANS

ID OFH ~ lAlAA MI ~ AS 49,
The London statist is advising Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call an extra session
of Congress to enact legislation to relieve
the money market.
There are those in this country who
agree with our London contemporary
The situation is certainly far from salts
factory. The 5sub-treasury has been alb
sorbing and is continuing to absorb, large
sums Of money, withdrawing It from the
channels Of tradeSat o time when 1T IS
greatly needed there, and when It Is not
needed by the Experiment. If the AID
rich bill had been passed remedy would
have been found for this, but the AID
rich bill would not by any manner Of
means have met the situation. AS we
have several times pointed out, 1t was at
best but temporary makeshift and
would not have met the demand for cur
rency legislation.
Tho President saw fit to call on extra
session Of the Senate to consider the
Cuban treaty and the canal question; 1t
seems to us that he would do we'll to call
an extra session Of Congress for the spe-
cInc purpose Of considering the currency
question. There never was such trade
and Industrial activity as now. and there
Is good reason to believe that prosperity
will continue indefinitely, unless there be
a squeeze in money But II there should
be O squeeze. so that legitimate enter
prises Should not be able to procure funds
with which to carry on their business,
there would como q speedy end to the
prosperity which we have been enjoying.
and some OF the fnonclers Of tho coun-
! try are feeling, and privately EXPRESSING,
their anxiety on this score. It would be
10 great shame to bring our prosperity to
ian end for the lack Of reasonable cur
| lrency law, and If this should happen the
Republican party would surely DO held
responsible and would have to reckon with
4 the voters. y
| It is. this phase of the question which
President Roosevelt and the party lead
ors would do we'll to regard. If there be
a money panic and q shock to prosperity
there will be another agitation Of the
money question next year. Tho agitation
OF 1896 was the natural outcome Of q con-
dillon. 1t was cry of distress. There
|twero hard times up and down the land,
and these hard times were duo In q great
measure to the scarcity OF money. The
& banks were not permitted to issue cur
rency against their assets, and mon be
gan to inquire what was tho trouble and
what was the remedy Many believed tha
the trouble grew out Of the demonetlza
, ton Of silver, and that the remedy wa
