A bunch of local Republicans held
meeting at the Court House Tues
day night, for the evident purpose of
trying to make medicine" for the APP
preaching conventions and the cleo
ton later. Their desire is to concoct
some Knockout drops" for their en-
emies, outside as well as inside Of
their party. We suspect, however,
that all such efforts will prove fruit
less this year, judging by the signs
of the times. The best move that the
Republicans could make this yesr
would be to confine their efforts to
untangling and pressing out the in
ternal difficulties and the various
branches Of that party, with the hope
that It might be put in condition to
bear fruit in future years.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION AT
 JUNEAU

In the. February number of the sixth consecutive Year Book of the Inland Empire Sunday School Asss< ciation," printed at Spokane, is an account of a convention which will be held in Juneau next June, as follows
 When our Inland Association was ten years old last May, it was decided by our business committee to celebrate this event by assisting Alaska some what in it's Sunday school and tenn perance work. During the summer, Mrs. Knapp and the general secretary, at their own expense, visited dozen or more of the leading cities in the Northland, had conferences with the workers and arranged for their first all-Alaska Sunday school convention to be held in Juneau in June.
 The convention will last three days and will be held the latter part of June, according to present plans. The round trip from Seattle to Juneau, in cluding meals and berth on board, will cost $50 For an additional $10 or $2O both Skagway and Sitka can be included. number of Sunday school and public school teachers are plan ming to go in our party. Those desir- ing additional information concerning boats, rates, dates, program, etc, should send postal to the Sunday school office, >515 Peyton Building, Spokane, Wash.
 Our association aims to raise a fund of $500 this year to be used expressly for the work in Alaska. More than $500 has already been contributed. Since Alaska votes on territorial pro hibtfon this coming November, con- siderable help will be given them in their temperance fight We congratu- late the schools listed below for the part they are having in helping the Kingdom of Christ in our frontier wonderland. Individuals or schools desiring to assist can send contribu- tions to the Sunday school office.
 Accompanying the article is a map of Alaska outlined in black and shown
