MISSIONARY
 CONFERENCE
Laymen's Missionary Movement
A Convention To Be Held in Putnam
 Dec. 18th aud l4th

Six Putnam churches have arrang. ed a conference here for Sunday and Monday, December 18th and l4th, under what is known as The United Missionary Campaign plan. The in- tention Is to arouse interest by services and meetings and mems supper with outside speakers, and later te make a house to house canvass of all the mem- bers for systematic offerings. The spectacle of so many congregations uniting in prayer nnd practical work ought to have the same effect here as 1t has elsewhere-a profound impression for good.
 Two ideas undeflie this method; the first is united effort, the second is universal response. Each church witt appeal to all It's adherentS 10 do their part, and all concerned will make the same appeal at the same time and in substantially the same way.
 On Sunday morning sat the regular services Missions will be the topic in all pulpits. Al o'clock there will be a union service at the Baptist church. On Monday the pastors of this city and surrounding towns will confer al 10 a. m. at the Congregational church, where will also be held Church Of ficers' Council at 2.a0 p. m., and n mems supper at 6.l5.
 The Congregational, Baptist, Metho- dist, Episcopal, Advent and Zion churches will take part. Two meet ings have already been held and com. mittees appointed. Each committee will hold meetings by itself, and mem- bers of all committees twill meet next Sunday, Dec. 9th, at 1 D. m., at St. Philips church. There are committees on arrangements and supper, publicity, finance and statistics and literature. Since the experts are all salaried men the only expenses to be met locally are for travelling, entertainment, printing and small incidentals, and the total will not exceed S35.
 Among the visitors expected are Rev. Messrs P. H. ] Lerrigo, NJ. D., Frank NJ. sheldon, Dr. Herring and MT. Charles C. Merrill.
 The Rev George II. Stone, pastor of the Advent Christian church, was in charge of a church in Rochester, N r., when a similar campaign was made there. He reports that the ef- feet on the local churches was splen- did, and they were strengthened even more than the missionary cause was helped.
 The Congregational church makes a canvass on the last Sunday of every | December and will combine the two. St. Philips made partial canvass in the fall, but will join this time to gather in others, asking subscriptions | for local work as well.
 The Baptist, Methodist and Zion | churches will use this as means Of suppementing their ordinary appeals.

Since the decisions rendering imperative certan acts of the territorial legislature panaceas have been sug gested by officials and newspapers for the curing of the ills that assa the of the territory. Some of these suggestions have wisdom and common recommend en by far the greater portion of the ridiculous The talk of statehood and full territorial government ridiculous under present conditions and the territorial officials will do we'll pay little them It must be remembered when speaking of government the territory o Alaska prepared for sefgovernment lhe administration of the laws alone the burden put upon people, would be pobl Do these wiseaces realize what ltmean to administer law territory oneh the size of the United States with population officially estimated 6OOO scattered over ths immense area?

the federal court so the reporter would not have to bother with it. The editor left all his morning work undone and at tended the Klopsch trial, and after the proceedings were ended we forgot all about the case and there wasn't reference to it in last nights paper. All these funny breaks which may be noted in the local prints from time to time arc committed in sober seriousness, the result of too much work for any one man, and their serious ness is responsible for the most of their funniness
 However, it is all in the days work, and the newspapers get as much enjoyment out of their errors (after the paper IS printed and the mistakes noticed) as the general public possibly does It is a mighty seri- ous proposition-this running of daily newspapers with short forces and shorter funds, but it relieves the tension by failing to be entirely serious once in a while, or oftener

SERIOUS HUMOR
airbanks News Miner

It is a fact which IS frequently com mented upon that there is no other town he size of Fairbanks in all the world where they print as many or as good news papers as are published here. x We have one daily exchange published in q city of 1S,0O0 on the Outside, and which employs twenty-nine men, which cannot compare as an up-to date publication with either the News Miner or the Times To produce the newspapers turned out in Fair banks, each paper the result of the work of but four or five men, is not play-it is a serious proposition. It is so serious and each worker has so much territory to cover and so much work to turn out in such a short time that there is seldom day but that one or the other of the Fair banks papers becomes excruciatingly funny in its seriousness.
 For instance, last evenings News-Miner gravely declared that the coming produc- ton of "Seven-Twenty- Eight" would be given on "Wednesday evening, Friday lSth," and it got by the writer of the article, the typesetter, the proofreader and the pressman. This morning the Times gravely announced that Roy Hall is mak- ing slow but speedy recovery" and that statement got by every man in the Times office and reached the public in it's virgin purity Yesterday morning the editor of the News Miner told the reporter that the editor would take the klopsch case in
