~eIrthdax. Instead of chrIstmas7e

"BIrthdaxs Instead of Christruas7"
 Perish the thought Birthdays are birthdays and Christmas is Christmas. How, then. substitute the one for the other7
 From the holy birth, birthday to be sure. but one calling for a general and not an individual celebration, gifts have been given. The first were by the wise men, remember.
 If one is happy he fnstinctiyely de sires to give. We cannot explain why, but we know 1t is 30. And though many may be too unhappy or too self cen tered there are none SO poor that they cannot give, and generously, of that spirit which makes "A Merry Christ. mas."
 If through the year one sees what one believes would be acceptable to his friend why not buy it. if it can be afforded, and instead of giving it on the birthday keep 1t for ChristmasT
 There is real pleasure in all that per. tains to the season. even fin the shop ping. Try to put the spirit of 1t all into all you buy. That means joining the Spugs, so far as useless giving goes. and receiving from the clerks interest and courtesy.
 Gifts. large or small; cards or words. money or loye-nothing matters but the spirit, the Christmas spirit.

BISHOP ROWE IN THE ALASKA
 TRADE

There is no reason why Portland should not get a good share of the Alaskan trade. The people of Alaska look with favor on the possibility of gaining commercial intercourse with Portland. I am expressing no pre- judices. I am stating the feeling of the Alaskan commercial men," These s-ffree potent assertions came from the lips of Rt. Rev. P. T. Rowe, for the past 20 years bishop of Alaska, head of 21 Episcopal missions in the North land, and who bears the distinction of being more familiar with Alaskan af- fairs than any other man in the most northerly province of the United States. The bishop of Alaska is in Portland, accompanied by his wife. They have just returned from a trip to the San Francisco exposition.
 q heard it stated in a meeting of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce re- cently,' continued Bishop Rowe, that there passed through Seattle every year from Alaskan ports commercial products aggregating in value be- tween $5O,OOO,OOO and $6O,OOO ,OOO. Of this amount the fisheries alone supply shipments valued at $25,OO0,O 900. This figure is bound to increase, as Alaska is just beginning to develop.
 Country Is Awakening"
 "1 have watched the growth of Alaska for twenty years and I have discovered that it is just beginning to justify the hopes that I have enter tained for 1t for many years. The building of the government railway has started to open up the immense territory of the southwestern section rich in possibilities, both industrial and agricultural. The mines in the region of Juneau are just beginning a marvellous development, and the entire country is awakening to it's pos abilities.
 ''It has been estimated by managers of the three largest mining properties

in the Juneau section Treadwell. Juneau and Alaskan-Gastineau they will crush enough ore in coming years to send the United States $50,- OO0,O0O worth of gold annually. That figure is based on the engineers es- inmates.
 Due to the promise of prosperity in the Juneau section the city has increased from a town of 2,50O in habitants to more than 10000.
 "The building of the government railroad has produced the town of Ship Creek, or Anchorage. it's more modern name. When the railroad was first conceived there were but few hundred persons in the town, and now Anchorage is thriving city of 5000 inhabitants, with plenty of substan- tial resources - lumber, fish, agri- cultural products, etc-to insure a steady and permanent growth"
 Long Trips Taken.
 Bishop Rowe is stamped with the spirit of the north country. For 20 years he has battled with the north ern winters, prosecuting the work he loves and has been so successful with. Every winter he starts out with dog teams to make the round of his mossion stations. Two thousand miles by dog team every winter for 20 winters is part of the travelling he has done in the interest of the Epis- copal church.
 Last summer he completed a 5000 mile trip over the entire Alaskan country, going as far north as Point Barrow, working among the whites, Indians and Eskimos. He even went to the Siberian coast.
 Bishop Rowe claims Seattle as his united states home, although he has headquarters in Sitka. The supplies for the missions are purchased every year and sent to Alaska from Seattle
 Bishop Rowe will celebrate the goth anniversary of his consecration to the bishopric at the Trinity chapel this morning at 10 o'clock. The clergy of Portland and friends, especially resi- dents of Alaska who are in Portland. are invited to attend.
 The bishop and Mrs. Rowe will leave tomorrow. for Seattle. where they will sail for Alaska. - Portland Oregonian.

CHAS. G. GANTY ELECTED
 TERRITORIAL SECRETARY

Chas. G. Ganty of valdez, was elected territorial secretary of the socialist party of Alaska at the annual election | held the last Of July. The removal of the head quarters from Fairbanks to Val dez is a wise move so far as ser vice is concerned and the choice of Comrade Ganty is most gratifying.
 So far as Juneau is concerned and we believe we can say the same of the socialists all over the territory, MT. Ganty has their hearty support in his newly acquired posi- t.on.-Alaska Sunday Morning Post, August Sth.
