MRS. cHAS. MERRILL DEAD

Charley Merrill last Saturday received the sad and startling intelligence of the death of his wife, which occurred at Bellingham, Wash., Sunday, November I, 1906. Up to the time of her death, all letters received by Mr. Merrill were of the most hopeful character, and the sud- den news of her death came ss g severe shock to our beresyed citizen.
 For some time preceding her depart ing from Wrangell, Mrs. Merrill had been suffering with a very severe attack of rheumatism, and a few months ago she vas taken to the home of her parents at Bellingham, with the hope that cli- matic change would prove of benefit to her health, and, according to all reports, she was improving nicely up to the last sudden change, which hsstened the end.
 Virgie V. Witter was born in Walla Walla, Wash, August z6, 1870; wss married to Charles L. Merrill November 14, 1897, died at Bellingham, Wash, November 5, 1906, leaving her husband and one son, Leslie, to mourn the loss of 6 kind and loving wife and mother.
 Mrs. Merrill was loved and highly re- spected for her fine womanly character by all who knew her, and the news oi her death has cast quite gloom over this community, the sympathy of which goes out to the sorroving husband and little son in their hour of griet

 MEMORIAL
 MONUMENT Alaska School Children Asked 10 Contribute Twenty-Five
 Gents Each
Seattle Post-Inteiligencer)

The public is taking great deal of interest in the erection of 6 monument to the man who made the greatness of Seattle possible through the purchase of Alaska. One man said recently:
 "This matter is public one and the public is interested. hope the com mittee in charge will decide to make these meetings public, as l am sure that there are dozens of Alaskans and others who, in case the committee meetings were public, would attend and might be able to help the deliberations with vslu- able suggestions"
 One northern official said: "I am re- turning northward in a few days, and I intend to help this matter out by means of continuous or endless chain. have three youngsters going to school there, and shall have them contribute twen- ty-fiye cents each. They will be known as A. and each will write three letters to companions whom we may call B, who will also contribute twenty-five cents and each write three letters to C.. , This will go on and on, and hope be- fore it is discontinued there will be con tributions from most of the children in Alaska. Twenty-Five cents is the sum l should suggest for each Alaskan child to give, as in many parts of the country that is the smallest coin in circulation, Of course some will drop out, but, sup posing that the letters are pretty regu- larly kept up, the money will mount rapidly. I think the idea of an endless chain among the children is an excellent one.."
 Ex-Governor swineford is also inter- ested in the movement. He thinks it will have an educative as well as prac- tical bearing. Few men, even yet. SO we'll know the value Of Alaska to the American republic as does ex-Governor swineford, and for that reason he heart fly approves of the move to erect 6 statue to the great war secretary.
