The accompanying allustra-
tions convey an idea Of the pro-
posed plans of the Methodist
church to be rected as soon as
weather conditions will permit.
Completeness of detail is shown
by the floor plans, and these
are no less pleasing than the
exterior.
A study of the plans for the
basement shows It's utility as q
Sunday School room, banquet
hall, or community center build
ing. Conveniences for all these
possible uses are provided. The
small rooms can be thrown into
the larger ones by means of
folding doors or rolling parti-
tions, thus making room suf-
ficiently large for all social oc-
casions.
The arrangement Of the audi
torium Is ideal. Entrance to
the auditorium, balcony and
basement is gained from both
towers. which not only makes
the structure NOR pleasing, but

ENGLISH SPELLING.

 Victual and Tongue.

Consider, # You Please, the Words
 victuaI and Tongue.
 Were you ever perplexed by English spelling? But what foolish question! The rest of the world Is agreed that the man who insists he is never at Q loss for the correct spelling of word is Il prevaricator of the nth degree. But how did our speech happen to be thus encumbered? The French use count less silent letters, but there is such system about their liberation that ii can be mastered by the average mind German is absolutely phonetic. as are most of the Romance tongues. Greek was pronounced as 1t was spelled. and Latin is simplicity itself for all that the classical scholars disagree as to the sounds of the vowels and few of the cOnsonants.
 Mme Belnharlt when she was urged to present her plays in the speech of tue American people declared. "EngliSi, is not language; it is violent exercise. and its spelling is Impossible" Many q schoolbOy and girl will agree with her. What justification is there for such a word us "victual." which must be pronounced just ns it was in the days when 1t was spelled v-i-t-t-lei And, while we are on the subject of our native tongue. how shall We justify tongue. spelling that is monstrous in the light of the languages develop ment? Up to the beginning of the nineteenth century that word was t-u-n-g. with here and there Il pedantic faddist who put on airs when he wrote t-o-n-g-u-e. Our accepted spelling is ail imitation Of the French ''langue" just as victual is an imitation of the Latin "victualia," handed down by half bak. ed scholars.-St Louis Globe Demo crat

A placer gold strike is reported to have been made in northern British Columbia, somewhere up the Stikine river above Telegraph creek.

They will go up the river with dog teams and secured their outfits at Wran- gell. The report of. the officials will be anxiously awaited by many miners along the coast of southeastern Alas ka whose interest in the reported discovery has been aroused as the ground Is said to be richer than Dawson.

Beds of Prehistoric Trees Under the
 Earth's Surface.
 You know all about mining. or. q, least. you know the sort of things that are Obtained from the depths of the earth. such as gold, iron. coal. salt and precious stones Did you ever hear of mining timber? The chances are that you did not, and yet there was time when the mining of white cedar was one of the most important industries of New Jersey.
 Those who deived in the swampy earth in pursuit of the great and per. fectly preserved logs were not compelled to dig deep pits. for the trunks of those prehistoric trees were seldom more than fifteen feet below the surface. Many of the logs were as much as six feet in diameter, and one was found with 1.080 annual rings Beneath this tree, which had tiourished in its nntive forest for more than a thousand years. there was dug up another tree of an even earlier forest with more than 5OO rings.
 New Jersey is by no means the only state in the Union or the only. part of the world where prehistoric trees are to be found so perfectly preserved that even their characteristic odor is re- tained. Near Salem, O.. a large quan- tity of timber was dug up at depth of forty feet. the trees ss.:ased in a thick layer of glacial mud, and it Is nothing uncommon in eastern Michigan for the diggers of wells to encounter tree trunks sixty feet down in the soft earth. The wood thus obtained is the best wood to be had. especially for fine cabinet work. In Germany 1t has long been the custom to dredSe the deep bed of the Rhine for ancient logs, out of which the cases of the finest toned pl- anos are construct ucted.-Exchnnge.

ALASKA PACKERS.
 HAD GOOD YEAR
and Puget Sound fin 1915 was Over Million Cases.

The twenty-third annual report of the Alaska Packers Association, for 1915 is at hand. The capitalization of the company remains the same, wiz: $7,5OO,OOO authorized capital divided into 75,000 shares of tho
 value of $1OO each. The present is- sue is 67,50S shares, leaving 17,492 shares in the treasury of the com Ipany.
 The Association carries it's own insurance on buildings, wharves, ma |chinery, equipments, furniture and lon products in the course of manu- fracture and finished in its own plants; also on all floating property and on !cargoes of box shocks, lumber and coal All up and down general car goes are insurance at full values, and |saImon and merchandise stored in warehouses in San Francisco at about |one-haIf their values. At the close |of 1914, the insurance fund showed la credit of $2,004,931.47, and carried |$501, ,497.S5 for 1915. The amounts charged for losses and expenses ag- Igregate $119,199.74. The fund now amounts to $2,1S0, ,425, nearly all of
 which is invested in bonds.
 The Association owns sixteen can- Ineries in Alaska and Puget Sound, To-
 cated at the following places: Alas Ika-Nushagak 2, Kvichak 2, Naknek I3, Egegak 1, Chignik 1, Alitak l,
 Karluk l, Cook Inlet 1, Fort Wran- Igell 1, Loring l, Puget Sound--Sem- iahmoo 1, Anacortes 1.
 The pack for the 1915 season was as follows:
 Sockeye, 9,461 cases, Red 677,074 cases, King 25,931 cases; Coho 2C,- 939 cases; Pink 24O,427 cases; chum 50,20S cases; total, 1,024,040 cases. Salt salmon, 327 barrels. During 1915 the general markets
 for canned salmon have been very ir- AO SlupCAuoue "uA Atb , ldisarranged the trade, the transpor- tation and the finances of the world Lack of transportation facilities, al
 most prohibitive freight and exchange rates, together with the closing of
 the Panama Canal, have seriously in- terfered with the prompt and eco-
 homie distribution of the pack. Con- trary to general impression none of the governments of the warning na- tions have purchased canned salmon
 in large quantities. Only to Austral-
 asia have the salmon shipments been
 made normally and in usual quanti- ties,
 During the year 1915, $216,000 of the bonds of the Association were re-
