hundred. These came from all walk

Mr.. Holcomb is faithful worker
and preacher. He is sane and safe
in preaching and in his methods.
There is no faint of sensationalism
or favoritism in his work. He has
no compromise to make with sin
either within or without the church.
His sermons are simple and direct,
and he breaches the old doctrines of
the Scriptures with an earnestness
that goes to the hearts and con-
sciences of the people. He stresses
Christ and the Holy Spirit and his
simple, unassuming manner wins a
hearing with men as he comes in
contact with them everywhere.
AS aTesult of the meeting, have
received already sixty into the M,

Plans for extensive work on the Alas ka coast have been perfected by the coast and geodetic survey. Six vessels will be employed in the service. They are the Patterson, Capt. W. E. Parker, now at Seattle; the McArthur, Capt. H. l.. Beck, now being repaired at Eagle harbor; the Yukon, Capt. c. c. Mo- Quillan, now at Kodiak; the Taku, Capt G. T. Rude, now at Orca, or Cor dova; the Explorer, Capt. w. c. Dib- brell, now at San Francisco, and the Gedney, Capt. R. B. Derickson, now at Seattle. All are expected to start for the work before the end of this month. The Gedney will be occupied in South eastern Alaska. Her first work will be in making a thorough survey of Ton gass narrows, with view to preventing another disaster like that of the Ohio.
 On the afternoon of March P, Thos. Coates and St. Clair McLary were en- tom bed in a snowslide which occurred on the mountain side of Drier bay, Knight island. Coates was killed, his neck being broken. McLary was un- conscious when taken out. His first spoken word when he revived was cry for help, says the Seward Gateway. The slide occurred on the copper property of William Hogan. Coates and Me- Lary were ascending the mountain to reach the portal of the working tunnel when they were caught and entombed. Persons in the cabin at the base of the mountain, hearing the noise of the huge avalanche. and seeing it's location, realized that Coates and McLary were caught and the work of rescue was be- gun. A dog scented the spot where McLary was buried. He was taken out after eight hours confinement beneath about four feet of snow. Some time later Coates was found. He was under eight feet of snow.

Eternal Ice Fad

It seems to be mania south of fifty four to exploit Yukon and Alaska with every means symbolic of ice and snow. The latest outburst of this old and rep. rehensible idea is in the Arctic Club, of Seattle, where they should know better. It is gathered from these reports, both pictorial and worded, that the boasted panels of Yukon scenes in the club are largely sketches of snow scenes, dog trains, icebergs and the like. .aos
 All this may be picturesque and pleasing as diversion to themidle eye of outside loungers, but it iss no moro fitting on the whole of the Northland than would be the scenes of blizzards, railway wrecks, divorces, explosions, earthquakes for club in'9Galifornia, Florida, Nova Scotia or Manitoba de- signed to be representative nome of those places. A down-p6dr fn rain drenched Seattle, with scenes Of crowds in rubber boots, and carryi21g um- brellas and wearing slicksrss Sr rain coats, would be as fitting for the Rainier Club. cAGw

Mr. Kinzie is at the Butler on his way East to buy machinery for the mines. He said that the cause of the explosion of the magazine was mystery. He re- ports that the workmen are satisfied with conditions and that the company studies their welfare, having just com pleted fine natatorium as an addition to the club room. He said that he had personally visited majority of the mining camps in this country, and that the Treadwell or Douglas camp was the most law-abiding camp he had ever seen. No gambling or dance halls, he said, were allowed, but plenty of inno-, cent amusement was furnished the men in the shape of moving pictures and good clean shows. The late DO. Mills, the famous New York millionaire phil anthropist, was the largest stockholder in the Treadwell group, and he and F. w.
