meeting, completed its work with a
public baptism service of fourteen new
members in the Afternoon at 5 o'clock.
Twenty-Five were received into that
church as a result of the meeting.
This church was organized about fif-
teen months ago with about twenty
members, mostly from the First
church. 1t now has membership of
one hundred and eighty-two, and is
growing rapidly in every way under
the leadership of DR.. Utley, man OF
more than ordinary gifts and qualifica'

At First church the program was

POLITICAL NOTES

It is quite possible that we shall not know the result of the Delegate election in the territory for weeks. In the election four years ago for the territorial legislature Grimm of Nome went to Juneau in the belief that he had been elected but in Spring, after many months, it was found that Aid rich had got enough votes in the Xii ana precinct to beat Grimm. Kiana is place far north of Nome and has miserable means of communication.
 There are several other such places which if not quite 50 bad, are nearly so.
 The man who introduced the Prohi- bition measure in the territorial legis- .aure, (. k. Snow, has evidently been beaten for reelection in the rourth division.
 hetchikan is reported 10 have switched to Wickersham in the past couple oi wee6s because of considera- tions connected with the Alexander fish bill. Most of the fishermen there are said to have voted for Wicker sham although they were strong for Sulzcr in the beginning.
 Hcckman, elected senator in the First division again, is a cannyer- man and one of the leaders of the fishery interests.
 Marshall and Fpoman are two i'm portant camps from which the re- turns have not been received. Mar shall may be expected to go for SuI- ger as Frank Waskey lives there and has lot of influence. Poorman may be expected for Wickersham as it is the camp in which Dan Sutherland has been operating.
 The reports from Kodiak had not been received when this was written, Last election it went strong for Bun nell but Bunnell was known there and Sulzer is not. It will likely be for SuIzer but not by quite so large a majority,
 Candle, the Inmachuk, Kiana and other precincts north of Nome would at least probably give a standor in favor of the Democrat.
