News of the actual status of the

These are Nushagak, Nagnek, Kcgg,nng, Chaggiung and Reindeer. IL Is quite probable that these have not arrived yet as no wire has been received stating that returns from the third division are all ia and 1t Is pc seible that the canvassing board is D, stponing announcement of the re- snlt of the election until they shall be heard from. The canvassing board at Juneau cons sts of Governor Strong, Collector of Customs Pugh. and Sec retary of the Territory Davidson.

There seems to be no possible way of knowing who will be dec Jared the winner and until it is frslly settled one wish seems as good as another.

Death of Little Doris Ross.

May the 3rd, 1917, the Lord
called Little Doris to leave this
world to go to a better one. She
only lacked two days of being
two years old. 1t is hard to part
from her, but we hope to meet
her again never to part. She
was only sick short while, and
we cannot see why God has
taken this sweet little baby, but
He mas said, Suffer little chill
dren to come unto me, for of
such is the kingdom of heaven. =
She is not dead, but only
sleeping; and we hope to meet
this hour as easily as Little Dor
ris did, for she only went to
sleep to awake with Jesus.
Weep not, loved ones, for she
is as happy as can be; remember
we shall meet her on the other
shore to bask in the eternal
light of Jesus love.
Her remains were laid to rest
in Clear Branch cemetery.
The bereaved family has the
sincere sympathy of the entire
community.
A friend,
MRS. CLARENCE WHITE.
