A dispatch from Nome, dated June p, says: Frank H. Waskey, former delegate to congress from Alaska, re- turned today from Goodnews bay, south of the mouth of the Kuskokwim river, where a gold strike has been made. He says that pay dirt has been found on Snow and Butte creeks. A big stampede has started to the new diggings from the Kuskokwim district and many are preparing to go from Nome. The extent of the gold area has not been determined, but the sum- mer's prospecting Is expected to estab- fish the value of the new district.
 From Tonsina to the Gakona river there are numerous little farms. Rais- ing sufficient hay, potatoes and vege- tables to supply the roadhouses, mail contractors and Fairbanks freighters, these farms are producing good profit for their owners. Prices at the various stations are based on the freight rate. At GuIkana, hay or potatoes bring 20 cents per pound. As one comes south the price gradually lowers, but farmer can get from S200 to S400 per ton for his produce at any joint where farming is possible. The largest producer among the Copper river valley farms is the one at Gakona, owned by James Fish, mail contractor for the last few years this farm has paid an annual net profit of several thousand dollars in addition to providing feed for the contractors stock. About thirty acres are under cultivation. Most of this is in oats, wheat, hay and potatoes, although enough vegetables of various sorts are raised to supply the local market.
 Pat Murphy was an arrival this week in Chitina from his mining property, says the Chitina Leader. He reports shooting brown bear just as the anil nal was crawling ill the window of his cabin and no amount of shooting would scare it away either. And our allwise lawmakers at Washington say we can't kill but three of these vicious man-kill. ing animals in one year. The game laws which hang conspicuously in our postoftlce and publicplaces, say we can shoot brown bear at any time but only three are to be killed by any one man in one season. A magazine article in the Alaska-Yukon magazine tells us that Congressman Humphreys of Washington (who by the way is big game hunter) had much to do with framing Alaska's game laws. We do not wish the congressman from Wash. ington any harm, but we'd like to see him and few other legislators who helped frame these fool game laws be forced to mush about these parts for few days without a gun, like many prospectors do, and should they run across brown bear, it's hundred to one shot that while they are up tree, about the first thing they'd swear to do would be to use their influence in re. pealing that fool law. If these beasts are protected, some poor devil will have to pay for it with his life, no doubt. each year. The law should read: skill brown bear at any time and no limit" Should an Alaskan game warden arrest man for killing more than three brown bear, it is doubtful if jury could be gotten in all Alaska to convict him, particularly if they were Alaskans and were familiar with the habits of this carnivorous monster.

Is ARE CONVERTED
AT BAPTIST MEETINGS
DR.. II. W. Reed Announces Continue.
ton of Evangelistic Services
at His Church.

The last of the meetings of the first
week in the series of evangelistic ser
vices being held at the First Baptist
church was held last evening, with a
large audience in attendance. The re-
suits for the week were gratifying to
all. Thirteen new converts applied for
admission to the church by baptism,
and this ordinance will be administer
ed tomorrow evening. The pastor
preached on Gods Remedy for Sin"
and called it the crowning sermon of
the week. This remedy is the gift of
God of his own son, who came to die
in mems behalf. AS the matter was
studied. it was seen that Jesus was
not merely some part of divinity en-
wrapped in human flesh, but as Paul
says, God was in Christ, reconciling
the world unto himself" The truth
learned was that sin is of such deadly
nature that nothing in all the created
universe could be found sufficient to
cleanse away the guilt of sin. And the
greater truth comes to us that after all
nothing except the sufferings of God
himself will make expiration. God must
take the sinners place. The pastor il
Illustrated the thought by the use Of
simple chemical principle. Taking a
glass of water, he poured in a few
drops of a mixture Of fannie acid and
uincture Of iron, thereby changing the
water to an inky blackness. The
question was as to how TO make the
water clear and clean again. Plead
ings. promises, money, culture, per-
fumes. music, poetry, education, all
these were equally unavailing. 1t was
only when a strong solution Of oxalic
acid was poured in the glass that the
darkened water clarified, and was
again bright and sparkling. The
meeting will be held every evening
next week, except Saturday, with the
following list of subjects. General
topic, The Divine and the Human in
Conversion" Sunday evening, Con
viction for Sin; Monday, Leading to
Repentance; Tuesday, ''Regenera-
ton; Wednesday, Believing the Di-
vine Message; Thursday, yielding
