lieyed to voice the views OF the ma

was consequently listened to with
closest attention. A summary of his
remarks are as follows:
What action congress will take on
the rate Legislation cannot be fore
casted. but we certainly trust our
legislators will respond to the popu-
lar demand and regulate the railways
as fast as they should be regulated
witnout interfering with that control
over their own property and with that
motive for efficiency and economic
management necessary to make the
enormous business OF railway trans

 This is an announcement of deep sig- nificance to all the people of SSagway' The Catholic church here is in pros porous condition, equipped with we'll appointed and tasteful church building and a comfortable parochial residence. It is free from deot This is merely the material expression of the far more strenuous and devoted toll of a fsi'htui servant of God, who, during the long wears of his residence in Skagway. has never failed to meet cheerfully and promptly every demand made upon his strength and energy by consuming zeal TOT tue WelIdTS VI us ASA4S" '
 Ia speaking of the work of Father Turnell in Skagway and his contem- plated departure, one of his church said:
 Father Turnell has earned the re- spect and good will of every citizen of the town, and now that he is about to leave for a new field, and take on his aged shoulders the burdens and dis coursgements of founding church in a new camp, the eople of Skagwsy owe him some token of gratitude and esteem. Nothing could come nearer meeting his desires than a cordial and general support of the mission which is the last series of services to be conduct ed in the church under his auspices, Above all other possible manifestations of appreciation for himself and his self sacrificing past labor, would be this manifestation of sym Nathy in the cause to which he has devoted his life, Ssag- way has ever been generous in support of those who have promoted its inter ests. Its people should not fail to em- brace this opportunity otrewarding one of it's greatest benefactors."
