cality like this is a hospital, where
one, when sick or injured, may receive
proper care and attention. Hibbing

WHITE CROSS LAUNDRY.

The citizens of Chisholm are lucky
in having a laundry such as the above
named firm, located on Central ave-
nue., that is equal to any of the plants
in the bigger cities. The proprietors
of this company have built up their
business on the theory that good serv-
ice is what their patrons want and
that is what they are giving them. A
specially is being made of family
washing which is being done much
cheaper than a majority of the house
wives can have it done at home, and
they invite the public to visit their
plant at any time.

DowER LuMRER COMPANY.

This lumber company, located at
124 East Chestnut street, is under the
management of Mr.. L. H. Minor, and
sustains a reputation of the highest
character among carpenters, contrac-
tors and builders in general. All lum-
Der is carefully selected from the best
mills on the continent, and no ship
ments are accepted that cannot be Of
fered in good faith to the trade. The
lumber, sash, doors, interior finish,
lime, cement, building paper, ETC., han
died by this company is carefully
housed and kept in the best condition.
Owing to the fact that there is a great
shortage in coal, it is good idea to
look to firm like the Dover Lumber
Company, who have provided them
selves against this contingency and
have laid in a sufficiently large supply
of coal to meet all demands. Whether
your order is for coal or lumber, this
firm gives sudden service and they
are a large contributor to the growing
demand for better homes in this sec
ton.

their troops should have to withdraw

His Holiness has requested the Eng
fish government to kindly preserve the
Holy Shrines if they came into their
possession. g.
I'm answer to the pleading of the
Holy Father, the British government
Immediately assured the Sovereign
Pontiff that it would, in any event, do
all that is in it's power to protect the
sacred shrines.
1.-THE inhabitants of Palestine, Mo-
hammedans, as we'll as Christians,
must be in the greatest need, as no
provisions can be imported, all the sea-
ports being closed. The population of
the Holy Land, where there is no in
dustry whatever, and where the scanty
agricultural resources are hardly sufi-
cient for the maintenance of it's poor
inhabitants, is greatly dependent upon
the pilgrims even in prosperous years
How sad must their conditions be now
since for the last three years all traffic
and commerce has been stopped and
the Turkish government has not only
levied heavy taxes upon the people
but has allowed the soldiery to take
away by main force whatever the poor
people possessed. Dispatches from
Cairo, of March d5, 1917, state that
! conditions in Palestine are simply
appalling and that famine and pesti
lence are raging there. 1t is estimated
that more than 10000 persons in
Palestine have died from starvation

BENEFITS OF DAILY MASS.

Listener" recently published this
communication from "a valued CORE
spondent'' NS
Did, or didn't l tell you what |
think of truly beautiful story of our
occasional choreman, simple West
of Ireland peasant, with little educa-
ton but sound natural mind, and a
heart of gold? 1t is a Listener
story, even though it magnifies the
R. c. Church. My wife, in her blind
Protestant way, asked him if he went
to church, and he answered graVely
that he hadn't missed Sunday Tor
twenty years, adding that his daugh-
ter, girl of thirteen, rose at SIX
every morning to attend early Mass.
At my wife's expression Of surprise
he said: "You know, maam, it helps
to keep you nice and quiet all day
long" l wish Professionalism afforded
something to keep me nice and quiet
all day long.

ALASKA AND THE MISSION
ARIES.

Alaska is coming more and more to
the front, and may soon lose it's aspect
of a purely mission country To no
one, however, does the country owe
more than the brave apostles who
were first to venture into its frozen
depths.
The present Governor, the Hon. ]. s.
Strong, has paid them just tribute:
"The early missionaries have their
place in Alaska history, but so will
those who have followed them in later
times and who have been in the van
guard in the battle for humanity and
progress.
"The missionaries / have known of
all denominations have been broad
minded, earnest men, whose influence
has always been exerted toward max
ing life better for the communities in
which their lot was cast, and nowhere
is the fruit of their work seen to bet.
ter advantage than among the natives
of Alaska. 1t seems to me that the
Indian tribes especially owe the
splendid state of civilization that they
have achieved to missionary work and
missionary influences.
'The Indians, once ignorant savages
in all that the name implies, have
been almost comple tely metamorphos
ed. Health conditions have improved
in wonderful way and the doctrine
of cleanliness has gone hand in hand
with the preaching Of godliness."

THE HOLY sHRINEs IN DANGER
OF BEING DESTROYED.

Writing in The Crusaders Almanac
a Franciscan Father says:
1--WE are greatly concerned about the
Holy Shrines of Palestine, and their
guardians, the Franciscan Fathers OF
the Holy Land. But it is impossible
to get an adequate idea of the prevail
ing conditions, because all commune
cation has been cut off, and all cor
respondence suspended.
1.-THE great danger is that the Turks,
IL compelled to eyacuate Palestine,
may in revenge destroy the Holy
Places, and thus deprive Christianity
of the most sacred monuments of our
holy religion.
Fearing. any such wanton destruc-
4ion, the Holy Father has addressed a
letter to the Apostolic Delegate in
Constantinople, instructing him to en-
treat the Turkish government in His

Chisholm is fortunate in the char
acter of it's retail establishments and
particularly in that of Sapero & Sons,

ST. JosEPH's CHURCH, CHISHOLM.

The first Mass in the town of CHS
hold was said by Rev. G. V. Gamache
in a schoolhouse, May 10, 1904. The
town had six hundred inhabitants at
that time, comprising several nation
alities. Some of the representatives
of this part of the community began
a movement for the erection OF
church in Chisholm. Among the most
active were Messrs. Matzelle, Bavec,
VIM. Kealy, Marion Hayes, A. j. Sui
Ivan, Couture, Bergeson, Paul La
Londe, Hanley, Junkovich, Skolla,
John Schweiger and Godfrey. Mr..
A. M. Chisholm of Duluth donated
three lots as site for the church.
Work began on the building in the fall
of 1904, Mr.. Bergeson being the con-
tractor. Father Gamache of Hibblng
said the first Mass in the new church
on Christmas day, 1905. The church
cost $4,000 Father Gamache came
to Chisholm once month until April,
1905, when Rev. Michael Sengir at
tended it from Virginia. During this
time the church was legally incor-
porated. Rev. M. Bilban of Eveleth
took charge for part of the year 1908.
Rev. John Tscholl, residing with
Father Bilban in Eveleth, also at
tended Chisholm at regular intervals
until May, 1906, when he became the
| first resident pastor. The priest
house was erected by him in 1908,
| and at the same time the church was
enlarged. The residence cost nearly
| $4,000. In 1911 Father TscholI S
| health compelled him to leave CHS.
holm for the West, where he died in
September, 1912. In 1908 Chisholm
was devastated by a forest fire. The
church property, however, was not in
| iured. The old frame buildings OF
the town were wiped out, but happily
gave way to the more substantial
brick structures. Father Tscholl was
succeeded in 1911 by the present pas
tor, Rev. j. E. Schiffrer, who took uI
the work of his predecessors and by
his energetic efforts has seen several
| Improvements in the parish. During
the past year there has been over
$4,000 expended on improvements Of
church and parish property. Among
| the purchases made were a site for a
cemetery and a new pipe organ. The
latter cost $4,000, and is one of the
best in this section of the state.
Father Schiffrer has the confidence
and esteem of his people and is con
sidered by nearly every person re
siding in Chisholm and vicinity, re
CARELESS of religious belief, as being
an asset of the highest order. He is
always solicitous for the good of his
! flock, and is ever on the watch to be
of service to his townspeople in gen
eral. st. Joseph's parish has gained
in numbers and prosperity under the
kindly pastorate of Father Schiffrer
and the indications are that it will
continue to expand in the future.

MASTERS GARAGE.

The increase in the automobile in
dustry in the last few years has been
nothing short of marvellous. Three
makes that have made more than the
usual progress are the Mitchell, Over
land and Ford cars. They are recog-

models of construction and of beauty
and value that few can equal on the
market. These cars are handled in
Chisholm by the Masters Garage, at
