YOUKONERS ARE LEAVING
ALASKA FOR THE. WINTER

Juneau, Alaska, Oct. 11.-(By
MaiD .-Alaska's old stampede spir-
it is showing in rush to the outside
this fall. Many northerners now
flocking back to the states don't
know where they are going but they
are on their way, declared Governor
Thomas Riggs, Jr., of Alaska when
he returned here recently from a
tour of the territory.
Reports of high wages on the out
side, it is said, are drawing many
south. This falls unprecedented ex-
odus will reduce the territory's
white population to about $4,000,
the governor predicted.
Governor Riggs declared he de-
plored the spirit of unrest sweeping
Alaska But asserted he believed the
many who are going out now will
return when the war ends.

its range probably Is not so great,
The results of the bombardment
have not yet been announced.
For days the long-range guns
have been on the American secto:,
maneuvering for position from which
they might successfully lombard the
SedanICarignan-Montmedy-
line.
The cutting Of this line, toward
which the Americans have been
pressing constantly, would mean the
virtual collapse OF the entire Ger
man front to the Dutch border. Even
to interrupt the railroad intermit-
tently would be huge gain. since
most Of the German relief divisions
sent against the Americans have
been brought in over that line.

rs well as to look after the welfare Of
the parish.
In 1911 the new rectory, a brick
building was completed at the cost Of
$4,000. Complying with the last will
and testament OF Father Collins
preparations were made to found
school conducted by a Sisterh0od by
remodeling the Old church and par
sonage combined into school and con-
vent. Benedictine Sisters from St. Jo-
seph, Mimi, took charge September,
1913. School facilities were soon in
adequate and classrooms were pro-
Vided for in the basement of the new
church. The club rooms and drill hail
OF the Mandan Catholic Cadets we're
fitted up. Steps were taken to build
a commOdious school of brick with
modern cOnveniences. 1t took some
time to force the project owing to the
World War and many uncertainties.
The beautiful plan of the new school
was remodeled to meet the require
ments, and active operation began Au-
gust, 1917. The creditable structure
was completed January, 1918. Mean
while the old school was partly
destroyed by fire on October %, 1917.
City authorities provided school rooms
in the city hall. In the month of
April the Right Rev. Bishop Vincent
Wehrle blessed, the new school.
A pipe organ was installed in the
church by the assistance of the Cath
Ole Order Of Foresters. The premises
were improved by planting trees and
making a lawn to enhance the large
and valuable church property, the
streets were paved and cement side
walks laid.
The Sisters home was remodeled in
the summer Of 1918. The parish can
justly be proud Of it's complete build
ings which represent value and beauty.
The Four Leaf Glover Campaign was
organized under the auspices of the
Young Ladies' sodality to aid the Sis
ters' home by Sister Innocent.
The Rev. assistants during Dean D.
V. Collins administration were Revs.
John Kleidon and Herman Schmitz.
The present pastor, Father Clement,
was assisted by Revs. Hildebrand, the
organizer of the Mandan Catholic
Cadets, Eugene, Lambert, Florian,
Plus and Timothy. The latter helped
in the building of the new school.
There are many Catholic societies
in the parish for old and young. The
parish is large and has few families
representing the farming community
Mandan@ being a railroad center sup
ports many men working in the shops
and round house. A good percentage
follows a business and professional
career. A generous support of the
church and school by the people will
insure rapid success, both spiritual
and temporal.

SPRUCE USED IN AIRPLANEs.

Because the government needs all
the spruce for airplanes, the piano
manufacturers Of the country are hav-
ing a hard time to get sounding boards
for their instruments. Spruce is, the
best wood the piano manufacturers
can get for this purpose and they have
used it in immense quantities for
many years
But sounding boards and airplane
beams call for the same quality of
stock-clear, straightforward, tough
fibered and free from blemishes. In
their desire to assist the government
in airplane construction the piano
manufacturers have agreed to curtail
their output so per cent during the
war. They can get along with the
spruce stock now on hand for some
time, they say. Meanwhile they will
try TO find a substitute for spruce.
Several of the big spruce producing
mills in the Grays Harbor district OF
Washington and along the Columbia
river in Oregon that always have made
speciality of piano stock now are
giving their attention to airplane
material
