FATHER TREANOR'S
 SUCCESSFUL WORK

The Rev. Hugh Treanor, formerly of Waterbury, and now rector of St. Patrick's church, Norwich, read his an- nual report at the three masses on Sunday. It showed that the receipts for 1903, inclusive of insurance receiv- ed after the fire in the rectory, reached q total of $24,627.26. Exclusive of in- surance, the total receipts were $23,- 591,26. The expenditures amounted to SPA, ,258 14,' leaving balance of $369,12, from which must be deducted bills outstanding of $242, leaving a balance of over $100 to begin the year of 1904.
 The feature of the report was the statement that during the year the surprisingly large sum of $S,50O has been paid on the parish debt, which has been reduced to $6,5OO.
 In commenting on the years work Father Treanor stated that the parish debt having been reduced to sum which, at per cent, calls for only $26O interest, the weekly ten-cent col lection will be given up and for the future only hve-cent weekly offer- tory dtrin the Sunday services will be received This change is made be- cause of the recent wage reduction Ia so many of the local shops and the fact that the regular contribution migbt prove too great tax, especial ly il the case where several members in family contribute.

 Purchase of Pipe.
 We will have to buy about $1O.OO0 worth of cast iron pipe for extending the distribution system this year. While we do not yet know just where the work will be done, and consequent ly do not know the exact amounts of different sizes Of pipe which will be re- quired. we can make out pretty fair approximation and place on order for a certain number of tons with the priv ilege of varying the amounts of each size. I have obtained bids from three of the principal concerns in the east, and can submit them to-day. There is some reason for thinking that pipe is lower now than 1t will be again this season. All of the quotations I have are limited as to time of acceptance
 The document was read and order ed on file

bn another column may be found an advertisement intended for the benefit of bachelors. We have many of them in Alaska, some of whom should take advan- tage of the opportunity offered to se:ure wife. Just think of it, a wife for fifty dollars. Why q wife is cheap at any price, and besides a man is at liberty to choose from several nationalities. He is not compelled to ''keep company" for year OF two, and be under the expense all that time of buying ice cream, candies, etc. All he has to do after sending for his choice is to meet fer o1 the wharf and proceed a; once ;o ihe parsons and there settle the business. This would l,c ui incalculab!e value to Alaska
 where the population is scant and o,lr school houses not over crowded We believe the advertisers to be a thoroughly reliable firm.

THE ELECTION SEASON
Questions To Be Settled by Ballot in
 the Next Six Weeks.

Fall is generally considered to be the election season in most countries but the people of this county have spring crop in preparation that ought to make the man with the franchise feel his i'm portance. In some countries once ? year and sometimes 'biennially, is about as often as the man with the ballot can get in his. work but this spring is to be a continual round of pleasure for the. voting citizen who is on to his job.
 h The humorous mention is entirely a matter of secondary consideration for the fact is there are seven elections to be held during the next six weeks, which with the school election last Saturday makes a total of eight for the spring crop, and keeping run of then is serious responsibility for the voter That voters may not become con- fused on the question before the house Q it would be a good plan for them to cut out the following list and paste II in their hats.

THE ARIZONA REPORTS
The Second Volume Has Come From
 the Publishers.

F.. w. Lewis. appointed court report CT for the supreme court of Arizona, has received from the publishers. Bancroft x Whitney, the second volume of the Arizona reports. MT. Lewis has been engaged for the last year in the prepa- ration of the reports. of which there will be when complete seven volumes. The third and fourth volumes will be available by next June, and the last three by next September.
 The york of collecting the reports is much more Onerous than he expected it would be. It takes him back to 1884, when the first volume was prepared by F. p. Damn. Every opinion rendered since then has been hunted up by Mir. Lewis and a digest made of it. with the appropriate head notes. table cf contents, etc
 MT Lewis has received only three or four advance copies. but copies for dis tribution will be ready within two or three weeks. This work will be of the greatest value to the bench and the bar, which until now has had to depend upon memory. The supreme court itself has found that there is nothing more faulty than the human memory, as is shown by the contrariety of decisions.

There is, for in- stance. one famous one by Judge Barnes, when member of the supreme bSnch. The correctness of it has never been reversed: it probably never will be reversed, fer it has to- do with that subtle fluid. electricity. of which Judge Barnes knows as much as anybody else. and more than great many eth ar peorle.
