 CARRY MAIL

TRUCKEE. Cal, Dec. 2-If Will. liam Titus, of Titus Bros, mail con tractors for the winter mail service on the Truckee-Tahoe star route, carries out his present plans he will shortly be carrying mail over this route by means of EsQuimaux dogs and a sledge. Eight or ten dogs will be used. So far as known here, this will be the only route outside of AL aska where the United States mail is transported by dog teams,
 Last winter Titus Bros. employed two men, with six or eight horses each, to break the trail from each end of the route, when they met half way, at a cabin, where food and shell ter was prepared late in the fall for man and beast. Under the high prices for food, Titus believes that he can save money and do better work with one good snow-shoe man and a good team of EsQuimaux dogs.-san Francisco Chronicle.

TRINITY TO BROADEN ITS WORK
Bishop williams sees New RESPONSE
biIities in New Property.

Incident to the requirement by Trinity
cathedral of the Clarkso hospita, property
on Dodge street. Right Rev. Arthur L.
Williams. bishop Of the diocese Of Ne
braska, spoke at the Sunday morning serv-
ice Of the great opportunities confronting
the church.
AT the close Of another year and the
beginning Of a new one We have a great
work before U.S." he said. Our church as
sociation has taken up some property that
will mean much for US in carrying on an
important mission in the downtown dis
trict. The scope Of our endeavor is thus
greatly enlarged.
Trinity cathedral now occupies a con-
spicuous place in the work OF Christianity,
but it is destined for an even greater
place. Trinity cathedral is going to be,
to Omaha, what Grace church is to Chi
cago. It will occupy a more significant
position in ministering to the people. With
the requirement of the property on Dodge
street we are given means for greater en-
deavor. Outside our own church walls we
are given an opportunity for more extern
sive work.
In connection with the celebration OF
Christmas, then. we have great cause to be
thankful. This is a period OF rejoicing,
In the present, however. we are not alone
interested. for our work lies in the fu-
ture."
There were special celebrations OF the
Holy Eucharist at Trinity cathedral sun
day. Tuesday afternoon at 4 o'clock the
ehildren's entertainment will be held.
