The Juneau Church, erected and
consecrated in 1894, was erected for
the use Of those Russians who follow
ed the first gold seekers to Juneau in
1880 and 1881 as we'll as for the pur.
pose Of propagating the Christian re.
ligion among the natives of this city
and its vicinity. In the year 1890
Chief Ana-Kla. Hash of the Taku tribe
made visit to Sitka for the express
purpose Of becoming Christian,
stating that he wished to be baptised
and to learn the Christian religion
in order that he might be able to help
his people. He wished to bring them
to Christ.
Chief Ana-Kla-Hash became a Chris.
tian and, on leaving Sitka for Juneau,
he was accompanied by Rev. Vladimir
Donskoy, who was the first man to
come to Juneau as a representative
of the Russian Orthodox Church. Fa-
ther Donskoy ministered to the Rus
slams who were then living in Juneau
and Douglas, and at the same time he
baptised a number of natives, after
which he returned to his own aprish
at Sitka.
Father Mitrofan visited Juneau in
the years 1892 and 1893, and at this
time the number Of communicates
grew to such an extent that it became
necessary to place permanent priest
in this field. In 1894 Bishop Nicholas
of San Francisco came to Juneau from
Sitka on the u. s. s. Pinta, accom-
panied by Rev. v. Donskoy, deacon
Ivan Borthofsky, his secretary, and
quite a number of singers and assist.
ants, to consecrate the Church of
st. Nicholas. On the same day he or.
dained Rev. Ivan Bortrofsky as a
priest for the juneau Church.
Father Bortrofsky, after two years
of labor here, exchanged posts with
Rev. Alexander Yaroshevich of Kenai,
COOKS Inlet, Alaska, who labOred
with great zeal and energy in this
field, establishing a school where the
native children were taught English,
Russian, arithmetic and Church cat
echism. Besides charging the mum.
Der Of communicates in the local
church, he brought into the field of
the Church a large number Of Hoonah
natives, Chilcat natives, and natives
living as far away as Atlin, B. C. Fa-

Editorial confersnea.

On Saturday, March ID, Hays will
entertain the first Golden Belt Editor
ial Conference. This viii also be on
the second day of the Golden Belt Edu-
cational Association. Western Kansas
journalism need just such conference.
All newspaper men west of Salina have
been invited. A great many have al
ready written that they are coming.
The program will consist mostly of the
papers and talks of the Western Kan
sas editors themselves. About fifteen
of the editors in Western Kansas have
been placed on the program. In ad-
dition to these the University is ex-
pected to send out two experts from
the department of journalism. Lieuten-
ant Governor W. 7. Morgan expects to
come although he writes a late adjourn
ment of the legislature may hinder him.
Judge Ruppenthal will also be on the
program.
This conference is not in competition
with any district association. 1t is
merely a conference of Western Kan
sas editors 1t is not expected that
there will be any dues as the dues for
the state association at Topeka are
about all Western Kansas editor cares
to put into associations of this kind.
Norton A. Turner has this to say in
last week Russell Record: 1.-The sug-
gestion to hold a Golden Belt editorial
conference at Hays, March Is, is a cap
ital idea. Every newspaper man in the
territory should take day off from
saving the country, enlarge his over
draft for expense money, and attend.
1t will do all the editors lot of good to
get together and talk shop"
The conference will be held at the
Normal building under the auspices of
the Fort Hays Normal.

Whether or not they profit by it, the
merchants who attended the short
course at K U. last week got some
good advice. One of the lecturers told
them-'If you can't advertise, quit
your business; you can't afford to waste
your time on it. Mr. Fox told them
that 1.-The purpose of advertising is to
create selling atmosphere. Advertis-
ing is craftsmanship with the multiplied
ton table thrown in" The average
country merchant pays too little atten-
ton to his advertising, He considers it
a side line, to be looked after when he
has nothing else to do. Advertising is
a science; it IS the art OF telling people
what you have in stock and what it is
worth, and telling it in way that will
create interest and hold attention. The
