Kept UP the Wailing.

Linen PAPER.

The only real linen paper made in the
United States Is that used for govern
ment documents. All the SO called lin
en- papers are largely made from cot
ton rags with some linen mixed in.
The reason for this is that it is ex-
tremely difficult to separate cotton and
linen rags. The government gets
around this difficulty by using nothing
but clippings from collars and shirts

pEATH oF REV. JOHN E. HUAN

DEATH OF REV. JOHN E. HUHN
 The present incumbent of St. L0ke's Church received word from Bishop Rowe announcing the death of the Rev. MT. Huhn on the morning of last Thursday. It is inferred that he died at St. Matthew's Hospital, Fairbanks, Mir. HQhn was priestin-c charge of St. Luks's Church for over year. The annonneeDenS of bis death brought sorrow to the hearts of many who knew him and loved him.
 After leaving Douglas Mir. Huhn had charge of the mission at Rampant, When the "rush" began into Fairbanks he was sent there by the Bishop to as- sume charge of the mission until the arrival of Archdeacon Stuck. The lat- Ger, after few months, arrived, and MT. Huhn returned to his charge at Rampant.
 His work consisted in minfsterfng to the whites and natives of Rampant and to the miners eneamped on the outlying creeks. Oftentimes he made Journeys over the snow of sixty and eighty miles with his dogs and sled to She more remote camps to bring the message of the glorious gospel of Christ to the isolated and lonely miner.
 This was a self. denying and arduoUs work which he accomplished with a cheerful and winning grace: He of whom we are thinking must have lived and did live and move and have his Being in the presence of God, conscious indeed of his own shortcomings and failures but with his eye iramoTeSly fixed on Him Who was The fountain and source of lis life and work. May the soul of the faithful departed through the mercy of God drest in peace and may EgAt perpetual shine Gpor him.
