Catalla Correspondence

The following account of the rail- road trouble at Catalla was received from our correspondent too late for publication Saturday:
 The Alaska Pacific Railway X Termi- nal Go. claims right-of-way and ter minal grounds of i0 acres, which has been approved by the secretary of the of the interior. and have built a trestle along one side of same The Copper & Northwestern road wished to cross these grounds. but permission was re- fused and application made at Juneau for all injunction restraining them from interfering with the Bruner ter minai or right-of-way. On May 17th the Guggenheim pile-driver crew reached the lines of the Bruner survey and by night had piles driven right up to the trestle of Bruner's. where they chained the machinery down and went to supper. They had been warned re- peatedly by the Bruner people that any attempt to cross their line would cause trouble, as an injunction had been granted and was then on the way north. While the crew was at supper the explosion occurred which wrecked the outfit.
 There is no doubt but that an at tempt to continue the Guggenheim line across the property of Brnner will result in trouble. and possibly in blood shed.

which should sink into every heart. After
this long indian exile, after Moses had
led the children of Israel through the Red
sea- after he had given to the Hebrew
people the Ten Commandments of Sinai,
what did Moses do? He sinned, just as so
many other men have sinned when they
have come into the temptations of their
great life work. You know the sad, sad
story. Moses sinned down by the rock OF
Meribah, and God said to his great law
giver, Moses, because thou hast sinned,
thou canst not enter into the promised
land" Oh, my friends, many of us have
had our INDIAN exies. Many of us are
today in the full swing of our life's work
After God has fitted us or our task shall
we fail Him? VIII He refuse to let us
enter the promised land at last because
of our faithflessness? 1t was but for
moment and under strong provocatlon
that Moses failed but that moment eX-
cluded him from the triumph. Let us. too
watch and be vigilant, for God is strict
with those who have been near him. we
may miss our earthly rest as Moses DID,
but may we never miss the heavenly
haven to which he went when God buried
mis- body and whence he came to rejoice
with our Lord in his triumph on the
Mount of TRANSPORTATION.

turned from Auckland yesterday even ing after weary whole days ride fn the train. We passed through large areas of agricultural country and the crops and fields looked lovely. The farmers are having great season. Grass is as plentiful as can be wished for and the consequence Is that the dairymen are getting plenty of milk from their COWS and the supplies at the milk and butter factories are greatly in excess of any previous year.
 The butter and cheese exports are largely in excess so far this year of last years export and the price of but
 ter has also gone up in consequence of the great demand there is in England
 for it.
