 Congress has created tourist attraction III the Northwest by setting apart of the Mount Mcknie park in Alaska The new reservation incos- ing of 2.200 square miles, lies in South Cen tral Alaska and includes the oftiest mountain in Amer jet whose peak 20300 feet above sea level
 The special why Congress set apart the Mount Mckinley district at this time was the neces sity for conserving wild animal life in advance of the invasion of hunters which the new government railway will bring Alaska The rail line IS to pass within twenty miles of the great mountain. As game refuge breeding ground the national park IS Alaskan game, which elsewhere is rapidly disappearing.
 The district the north side of the mountain IS rolling country, dotted with lakes and forests ana much grazing land It is inhabited by large herds of caribou, and there also many mountain sheep district One of the guides of the region told the Senate committee that he had counted as many as 500 sheep in day of ordinary travel, and that herds of 1,200 or 1,500 are frequently seen
 Mount Mckinley national park is thus to preserve not only the wild animal life of the district, but the setting of the huge mountain ill all its natural charm Uultimatey the government railway and all Alaska the tide tourist visitors much increased by the attractive trip to Mount Mckinley.

THE END OF ACT II.
Fairbanks CitiZen(


 The decision of Judge Jennings in the mandamus us proceedings instituted by Chas. A. Sulzer in which the canvassing board is ordered to issue the certf cate of election Delegate to MT Sulzer ends the second act of the skit which put the boards November of last year The first act finished when board voted to issue the certificate to Wick ersham, and which is overthrown by the ruling of Judge Jennings
 Outside Of the question of whether the Court has any power to act in any way in such cases, the de of the Judge appears to be in accord with the law and facts that before the Court Leaving the question who is elected Delegate the de cson has prevented the Canvassing Board from establishing dangerous precedent, and empha- the necessity and sacredness of the secrecy of the ballot
 In stating that the Board should be governed in it's actions and decisions by the election law alone. disregarding sentimental and anything else that might induce it to overlook omissions infrac- tions of the law, the Court has wisely limited the power of the Board. This is duty that is the prop ery of the House of Representatives solely. When it gets them be fought out from that standpoint It is comforting to know that he Alaska elecon law is valid.
 The certificate of election having been issued to Mr. Suzer Delegate from Alaska, he will draw pay from March f. last until his term is completed or his successfully contested. And he will likewise represent Alaska for the full term until the House of Representatives decide that his opponent should have received the certificate.

makes it easy. We ask our read
ers to have this description Of
true Christian always in mind.
We always thought true Chris
tians were more sanity, more
angelic than that, and that is why
we had such difficulty in finding
them. But if that is all that it
means to be a true Christian, the
matter is considerably simplifed.
The woods must be full of them.
We shall take the Pastors advice,
and always make this distinction
between the true and the false,
the sheep and the goats.
But the Pastor offers advice to
Christians also evidently the false
Christians, for the true Christians
do not need it), thus: "Show
friendliness to the Jews" He
asks them to acknowledge their
debt to the Jews, who have given
the world Jesus, the Apostles, the
first Christians, the Bible, a lot of
modern "Meshummodim" ICON
verts for revenue or advance
ment), etc. Let them help the
Jews to regain Palestine as their
new home land. Then, Of course,
in the fulness of time the Jews
will be won over to Jesus, the "sun
Of righteousness" will shine upon
them, etc., etc. Turnout his lit
tie essay the good Pastor shows
his utmost solicitude for the sal
walton of the Jews, persuading
them that those who wish to con-
vert them mean it we'll with them,
are their true friends; begging
them to have confidence in the
conversionists, to allow them to
talk religion to them, etc. The
naivete, the guilelessness of the
good Pastor is quite amusing. He
impresses us as being either very
young, or very old. He seems to
be so unsophisticated. God bless
his childish heart! It is such a
pity that such an innocent soul
must live in this hardened world
of ours, with it's philosophers and
scientists, with it's scholarly and
rational ideas about Bibles and
Saviors, churches and creeds,
with more good done in one year
by those who don't accept Jesus
as the Messiah than has been done
in century by those who do. It
is such pity!

BY DIR. S. N. Deinard.

uNIu
and no Christians at all. But that
only in passing. The Pastor, in
touching upon this subject, takes
occasion to point out how all the
Messianic prophecies in the Old
Testament are fulfilled in Jesus.
We are really glad to see this adj
mission on the part of our Chris
tian friends. If the prophecies
were really fulfilled as asserted,
then we Jews don't owe the Chris
tian world anything. Let us call
it square, and be satisfied with the
old time settlement.
The Pastor then discusses the
solution Of the problem chow to
better the condition of the Jewish
people," and that is the most in
teresting part of his little essay.
Under the heading "What the
Jews Should d." he says, 'In the
first place we wish to kindly ask
the Jews to read the New Testa-
ment." For the comfort of his
good soul we wish to assure him
that some of us are really doing
it. Some of us do even more; we
read the Koran, which is the "New
Testament" of the Muhammed-
ans; and Science and Health with
a Key to the Scriptures, which is
the very Newest Testament of
Christian Scientists. In fact the
modern Jew knows as much about
the New Testament as about the
Old; and that would not be pos
sible without reading it. So this
solution is quite acceptable to us.
He, then, asks us to "Distin-
guish Between True and False
Christians. This would be very
hard job for us, and we should beg
to be excused, and let George do
it," were it not for the fact that
the good Pastor tells us how. "By
true Christians" he says, 1--WE
mean those who really believe in
Jesus as their Savior and strive to
live according to His Word. And
these true Christians love God
above all things and their neigh
bors as themselves, and they love
especially the Jews, pray to God
for them, defend them against
their enemies, and try to do them

by LII. -.
The mails have brought us lit
tie pamphlet entitled 'The Jewish
Problem and It's Solution" by Pas
tor A. H. Gjevre, who adds to his
name on the title page the clause,
"A Friend of Israel" Pastor
Gjevre is evidently Minneapoli-
tan, since the little pamphlet is
printed in Minneapolis; and it is
for this reason that we are taking
notice of it.
The literary and scholarly value
Of the little essay is not great, but
it is pervaded by kindly spirit, a
friendliness that rings sincere.
The author touches upon the
causes Of Jewish persecution as
alleged by the enemies of Israel,
namely, ''The peculiarities, exclu-
siveness and faults of the Jews"
These he refutes very earnestly,
holding the Jews up as exemplary
in many ways, as when, speaking
of the charge made against Jews
Of dishonesty in business he says:
II wish here to declare from per-
sonal experience that I have had
dealings with Jews who have been
just as fair and honest to me as
many Christians; and they have
sold me things cheaper than l
could buy them Of Christian
merchants" Thus he emphasizes
a Jewish virtue "selling things
cheaper" which ordinary people
do not notice, and for which we
are really thankful to him.
He then shows that the real
cause Of Christian hostility is
envy, envy of Jewish ability and
success, while the cause Of IsraePs
suffering is, of course, his rejec-
ton of Jesus Christ. That, how
ever, according to the Pastor, is
no justification for prosecuting
present-day Jews and calling them
Christ-killers-exactly what we
have been saying all along. In
fact even our ancestors should not
be blamed, since they were only
the instruments chosen by God for
that purpose. If they had not re-
jected Jesus, and if he had not
been crucifed as an atonement,
there would have been no Christ
