BISHOP ROWE SAYS THE
 R. R. HAS HELPED FAIRBANKS

That the coming of the government railroad has already been a big help to Fairbanks is the statement of Bishop P. T. Rowe, tHe very popular head of the Episcopal church in AL aska, who is now visiting in Seward with Mrs. Rowe. At one time things looked so quiet in Fairbanks that he had in contemplation the removal of the Episcopal minister from that place to this end of the proposed rail- road but matters are now different and Fairbanks will retain its minister. Some little difficulty has been expert enccd by the Bishop in connection with the church's industrial school and mission at Nanana, which is being threatened by the coming of the rail- road, and he expects to have to go to Washington to prevail on the govern ment to move the mission and school at the governments expense. The government officials and the Commis- sion recognize the justice of the re- quest but the matter has not yet been concluded.
 Bishop Rowe intends to have al minister here and at Anchorage. He and Mrs. Rowe will leave on the Wat son and at Juneau he will ordain Rev. E. P. Zeigler of Cordova, a deacon, to the priesthood.
