 GETS TABERNACLE.
(Contributed)


 The Pentecostal Mission band, Wor- shipping at 130 East Monroe street, moved. as they believe, by the direc- tion of their Heavenly Father and by a sincere desire to advance the Masters Kingdom, are undertaking this work. This band which, but few months ago consisted of a mere handful of faithful souls, has prospered and grown by the blessing of God, until it's com modious hall will no longer hold the crowds that attend the meetings.
 Many souls have been helped on the heavenly way and many of Gods people helped to a deeper and fuller spiritual life in Him. This people, poor in purse but rich in faith, have undertaken this great task solely for the glory of God and the good of man.
 A beautiful tabernacle, S9 by 131 feet and seating 1000 people, is already erected at Eastlake park. Services will begin on Sunday, March 31, at 10 o'clock and will continue a month or more as the Lord may direct, with three services daily. Evangelists and workers from home and abroad will be in attendance. There will be great preaching but no great teachers, no great chorus choir. no great song leaders, but wonderful soul stirring singing. Miracles of healing will be done Bring your sick of every kind. Plenty of room to park autos and room for camping. All necessary protection is promised by the sheriff's office and lastly people of every color. tribe and tongue are cordially welcome.

Such an amendment should have been secured long and would been secured if it had not been for the Wickersham carried against the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners and it's work in Alaska. If the Secretary of War had been authorized by law to make estimates for Alaska's roads, that the ap- propriation would not have. been subject to point of order all tmes there is doubt but that the appropriations would have been much larger than wagon roads than there in the Territory
 Wckersham has always been unalterably op- posed to any Alaskan development unless it could be made to carry political capital for Wickersham. He particularly opposed Alaskan development, and is opposed it. if it would add to the popu. larty of any one but himself. Consequently he did all he could to undermine Gen. Richardson and the Alaska Board of Road Commissioners He did all that he could to harrass their efforts to help Alaska. It mattered the least to him that by doing so he njurng the Territory and delaying development. He then always for Wicker. sham only.

There has never been any doubt but that Secretary Lane has desired practical course that would aid in development, and there is no doubt but that the Assistant Secretary of the Interior Dr. Manning of the Bureau of Mines others in high places have been in harmony with him, and this news from Cordova indicates that at last they have reached agreement on practicable and workable basis.
