 "You will sec by the date line that l am again on mMNay,to the Nushagak, my old stamping ground. Marshal Perry, in his wisdom (?).saw fit to ap- point me his deputy for Nushagak, and l, never having had the opportunity before of serving Uncle Sam in an off cial capacity, of course jumped at the chance of serving my country, even in so humble q position as a deputy U. 5. marshal, but not, l assure you,. until the emoluments were settled to my sat isfaction, that is, a salary instead of a graft. Several new appointments were made while the court was in Valdez: H. H. Hildreth, editor of the Prospec- tor, commissioner at Cook Inlet; Wm H. Whittlesey, commissioner at Kayak w. H. Wardell, deputy marshal at Kayak; George Seton at Cook Inlet.
 Valdez is very dull ut this season of the year. The railroad failed to ma terialize as projected. and Valdezians are correspondingly gloomy, but still have hopes.
 Kayak seems to be tho coming place on the Alaska coast at present, although the Resurrection country is boaiaing OF account of the Alas.;i. Central rail- ways progress in their work. Material god ,ran,aJias are onirn in there for the for stretch of road being built this year.
 The Kayak oil fields are looking up and progress is being made in sinking wells and opening up the coal mines, 20 miles back from the coast. l visited this region in March, and believe 1t is all right. They have the best coal l have seen west of Pennsylvania. The oil is high grade Illuminating.
 The steamship Excelsior, on which l came from Valdez, is now loading the material and supplies of the defunct Trans Alaskan railway here in 1iamna bay for shipment to Cold bay oil fields, near Katmui. TLere are some 100 tons of it here. Everything but the build- ings will be taken. George w. Dutton, who was in charge here, is nov in the Kayak oil district. Capt. Lathrop has charge ofthe outfit nov.
 The .Northern Oil. & Mining Co. was organized in Valdez in March. Among the members are Judge eWickersham, N. V. Haplan, district attorney, E. A. Henderson, dsp,l V elsi .rJudge c. D. bSmith.

1.-THE WHITE PoNTIFF."
Pope Leo's Touching Query, "Why
Do They Want Me Gomez"

| rope Ieo'S louCnin9 query, why
Do They Want Me Gomez
Under the heading why Do They
Want Me Gomez" the Atlanta Con
stitution says editorially:
The cable informs us that this is
the pathetic question Pope Leo XIII
puts to his personal attendants
when perchance he hears that ru-
mors of his serious illness or death
are often sent abroad
1T is a very pertinent question.
Why should any good person any
where in the limits of civilization de-
sire the departure from mortal action
of this grand old hero of the Vatican?
He is today the greatest living states
man of Europe and his work for the
peace and good will of men has been
such as to give him place in history
far above any of his contemporaries.
THE White Pontiff succeeded Plus
TX at a time when the whole world
was in ferment. European states
were greatly inflamed by their jeal-
ousies and clashing arms Of policy.
The United States had recently been
in the most awful internecine war of
the ages, the French invasion of Mex
leo had ended in failure and France
had been whipped to finish by Prus-
STA The whole circle of civilization
was in a condition of transformations
which have since eliminated and
changed largely the map of the world.
after twenty-five years in the
Vatican, holding himself a state pris-
oner, dreaming always of the restor-
alton of the temporal kingdom to
which Plus TX succeeded on this day
fifty-seven years ago and of which
he was dispossessed by Victor Emau-
uel, Leo XIII has nevertheless
shown himself the profoundest think
err. diplomatist and humanitarian of
the Church, unless some may prefer
Leo X.
His influence had ever been to
build up the apostolic faith wherever
mankind could be reached by the
church and it's gospel. Relieved of
the intimate problems of state gov
eminent he has embraced in the phil
anthropy of his craftsmanship all
lands and nations. The trend of his
pontifical genius and inspiration has
been to unity the spiritual forces of
the world for the universal welfare of
mankind. His encyclical, Reform
Novarum,' is one of the greatest and
most luminous monographs ever writ
ten upon the yet unsolved problems of
the social forces of society.
when the call comes to go that
he must obey, the world, Independent |
of creeds, will weep at the bier of
this masterful Christian leader and
lover of mankind"

On Monday about forty of the Sec

OF the Bishops remarks. Rev. Mar
snail l. Boarman, S. j.. who conduct

the priests left the college for their

Sorrow is generally felt among all
the Catholics throughout the city
over the death of Mrs. William T.
Davoren which occurred suddenly on
Tuesday morning. Mrs. Davoren
died of heart failure. but had not been
sick at all previously. Death came
unannounced, but found her ready.
Mrs. Davoren was one of the best
known charitable workers of the city
ad was always prominently identified
with Catholic societies. She was con-
nected with st. Vincent's Aid society,
to which she was a generous contrib
utor and was chief ranger of a
branch of the Catholic Order of For
esters. Mrs. Davoren was a woman
OF rare personal charm and of
most beautiful character. She was
always interested in the sorrows of
happiness of her friends and they
found in her a source of great con-
ISOLATION. She was of a CHEEKY, hope
full temperament and numbered her
friends by the hundred Her sympa-
thetic womanly disposition endeared
her to all with whom she came in
contact. Mrs. Davoren leaves four
children besides her husband. They
are Katherine, who graduated a few
weeks ago from st. Mary's academy, |
Marie, aged Z, and John and Walter, |
who are students at the Sacret Heart |
college. A sister of Mrs. Davoren |
is superioress of St. Anthony's hos
pital at Bemidji, Mimi. May her soul |
rest in peace.
Almost all of the school buildings |
Of the city are undergoing thorough |
during the summer |
months When the opening of the fall |
term comes the buildings will be in
readiness. No changes in the faculty
have as yet been announced.
During the past week while the
priests of the Cathedral parish have
been on retreat, Father Donovan,
he newly ordained priest, has been
n charge of the church. He has said
laily Mass and attended to other du-
les.

of the Bishop Scott academy, where
Carl and Chris Nissler were students
during the past year, were used in the
decorations with charming effect. The
chandeliers were hung with blue and
yellow ribons, graceful bows orna-
menting the globes and forming a net
work about the electroliers. Huge
vases of glowing sunfiowers stood
unon the mantels and tables, the same
filing the open CRATE. The programs
were made by Miss Maud Nissler and
we're very artistic. The outside leaf,
which was made of yellow paper, held
a Gibson head done with pen and ink,
while the inside held the dance num-
hers lettered on pale blue paper.
Three rooms were used to dance in
