BISHOP PHILLIP OF ALASKA HERE
 ON LONG TOUR

Bishop Philipp of the Russian church in Alaska and Rev. H. ?. Rash evarOff, pastor of the Russian church at Juneau, were in Seward today en route to Kenai, where the bishop will visit those of his faith.
 On this trip, the bishop, who main tains headquarters at Sitka and San Francisco, Cal, will endeavor to visit all of the Russian churches in Alaska and in addition meet all members of the church living where there are no places of worship.
 The bishop does not converse in English, but with Rev. Kashevaroff acting as interpreter, has no difficult ty in making himself clear. Both are tremendously interested in conditions in Russia and are praying for the sue cess of Russia in her efforts to estab- fish a firm government under the new regime and in fighting the cen tral powers.
 On hearing that Russia was about to strike a strong blow in the east both expressed greatest satisfaction.
 "But don't forget that l am an Alaskan and also an American" said Rev. Kashevaroff. "I and my father before me were born in Alaska, and I was sold along with the territory by Russia to the United States, becoming thus automatically an American sub ject, and I am proud to say that I am a good one"

STUD OR ONION
 PREMIUM GIVEN

NEW YORK, Tuesday, June l2.- In parts of the city where the trading stamp was popular before the advent of war prices the onion or potato have been substituted as bait for pat ronage by grocers and fruit dealers.
 In the Ridgewood part of Brook lyn small potato or onion is given with each ten-cent purchase. At this rate of profit-sharing it is estimated that thrifty housewife who buys in large quantities may carry home as trade premiums potatoes sufficient for a meal.
 Motion picture houses also have adopted the scheme, giving an onion or potato with each adult ticket

ROCK SLIDE HITS
 STEAM SHOVEL;
 TRESTLE SLIPPING

Operation of the big Bucyrus shovel at Mile 91-4 was blocked last night until repairs can be made when a big rock slide struck it broadside, break ing jack screw on the extended brace.
 The engineer, seeing the slide start, was able to back 15 feet before the shovel was hit, thus escaping more serious damage. As it was the front truck waS thrown off the track and this shift of weight broke the jack screw.
 The old Alaska Northern trestle near Mile II, which is being replaced by a rock fill on the relocated line, is being shifted by the pressure of earth thrown into the fill above it., and threatens to give away. Engineer in Charge Weir stated today that it will be about ten days before these cuts and fills, which are the controll- ing factor at this end of the line, are completed. It will take about the same length of time to clear the snow slide at Mile 52 1-2 and trains will probably be running through to Kern creek by July 1.
