and trust in Divine appointments.

from Moab to Canaan. Twelve large
stones. representing the twelve tribes,
were taken from the river bed and
piled on the shore as monument of
Gods aid, while twelve stones from

similar memorial. Finally the priests
followed the people to the Canaan

How the Miracle Was Done.
The fact that we may know with
considerable certainty just how this
miracle was performed should not in
the least detract from its value. With
God nothing is a miracle. since He is
able to accomplish His will in every
respect. Many things are miracles
simply because we do not understand
the Divine processes. The growth of
even a blade of grass is something
wholly beyond our power. and in a
general way beyond our comprehen-
sion as a process
The account tells plainly enough that
the heaping up Of the waters was

has been located with considerable
certainty by Prof. Wright as seventeen

Prof. Wright says, so striking is
this conformity Of facts to conditions
indicated in the Biblical account that
geologists can find but little difficulty
in believing the written record. At the
same time the written record is so pre-
else itself and free from fantastic ele-
ments that the literary critic cannot
well consider it anything but the un-
vanished tale of an eyewitness"
The marvel of the story is that the
Divine marching orders were so timed
as to suit the circumstances and con-
ditions exactly.

light before those who contemplate making @ trip to the interior gold fields that they will change their minds as to their route, if they have any intention of going in by way of either Mccarthy or Gulk- ana, and will come in by the natur- al gateway to the interior and that is thru Skagway, over the White Pass summit to WhitehOrse and thence by the Kluane lake route to point of destination.
 The way over the trail via Me Carthy to the diggings is i'm practicable and difficult both in summer and winter and the Daily Alaskan has authentic ad- vices that at the present writing it is utterly impossible on account of the heavy snowfall that occurred in that section recently. Even under the most favorable conditions the only way of transporting freight in quantity is by pack horses or double euder sleds and this method is Ob- vlously impracticabie where large amounts are to be moved with eel erity.
 Over the summit of the White Pass, however, the way is open the year round and a thousand tons, should such a shipment arrive here consigned to the interior, can pc transported over the coast range u Whitehorse as soon as it can ba transferred from the boats to the freight cars of the W. P. & Y. Route, which are always available and ready for use.
 After reaching WhitehOrse eX- cellent facilities are to be found for the distribution of the goods Jo their destination. Should it be found necessary a dozen, or twenty or fifty two, or four-horse teams, each with a capacity of from 45OO to 5000 pounds, can be put in ser vice and travel over road in which there are no obstacles to rapid progress nor danger to either man or beast.

OPTIMISM PERVADES sKAG-
 WAY BUSINESS CIRCLES

A feeling of optimism peryails among the business men of Skagway and there is Q firm conviction in their minds that when the antici- pated rush into the placer country in the interior does set in early in the coming year a large percentage of the travel and the bulk of freight will be sent in via Skagway, the na- tural and uuoJstruCted gateway-a route that is open to traffic for 365 days in ordinary years and 366 in leap year.
 The progressive merchants and business men of Skagway last Aug ust got together and subscribed be- tween $4OO and $500 toward a pub licity fuI !, but for the reason that no definre !i.4 of action had been agreed upon +he money subscribed was not collected by the committee appointed for thet purpose and tho matter has since that time lain in abeyance.
 When the question of advertising the Skagway-Whitenorse route on the outside by means or a joint contribution of the two towns was Drooched here it received very fay orabIe consideration by the sub scribers to the original publicity rund, and it was generally under stood and agreed that Dr. Sugdens moving picture exhibit would be the most effective and convincing means of reaching the people whom it was desired to influence.
 After Dr. Sugden's highly meri- torious demonstration of Saturday night; when it was conClusiYely proven that he had the ability as well as the means for an effective publicity campaign on the outside, steps were immediately taken to collect the money subscribed, and ! yesterday, although it was Sunday, and most of the business houses closed, 8 number were seen and came through cheerfully and uahes- itatingIy with the amounts they had promised.
