STUCK WRITES CONCERNING
 WALTER HARPER
Archdeacon Pays a High Tribute to One of the Victims of the Prin-
 cess Sophia.

A letter has been received from Archdeacon Stuck, Fort Yukon, ex- pressing his gratitude for the recov- cry, Identification, preparation and burial of Walter Harper and wife, in which he says to Rev, Christian:
 Tt is a satisfaction to know that the mortal remains of those we love are decently inferred with Christian rites, and my heavy sorrow in the loss of one who was son to me has this mitigation, thanks to you. We know that it should make no matter to us where our bodies lie, but human nature is weak, however strong faith may be, and the desire for the reverant and kindly disposal of the dead is deep in the human heart
 You did not know Walter, or how much he was to me, and cannot enter into my affection for him. He had grown into a son to me during the nine or ten years that we were SC closely associated, and I had all q ldtUtI IHltTcSL III mn tion for him. He was on his way to college, should his services not be needed in the war to prepare him self for the career of a medical missionary on the Yukon, among his mothers people, and his wife was eager to see him through his prep aration, which I had expected to compass myself. :.
 There was never stronger, gen tier, finer nature than Walters and a future of usefulness and ser vice seemed to stretch before him. All last Winter during our long jour ney together around the Arctic coast had worked on his college prepara tion. as I had done ever since he returned with me from the East.
 God knows best His ways are inscrutable. and we can only bow our heads and submit to his will.
 "In all the arts of travel, in all the wilderness arts, he was past mas ter with a rifle, an axe, dOg-team boat of any kind from a birch bark canoe to a power launch; he had few superiors in Alaska. I had rather he were by my side in time of stress or danger than any other ever knew. Had he started from Skagway in a small open boat, he would have reached Seattle safely, am confident.
 "I shall look forward to the news papers from Juneau for full accounts of the disaster"
 Harper was a product of Bishop Rowe's missionary work. under the Archdeacon.

SOLDIERS MUST WAIT
FOR MILEAGE MONEY

Bemidji soldiers who were dis
charged from the service prior to the
passage Of the revenue law, awarding
$50 bonus to each enlisted man, have
not received the extra mileage to
which they are entitled and the home
service workers of the Bemidji Red
Cross chapter are now in a position
to explain the reason.
Announcement has been made that
before payment can be made to those
soldiers who were discharged prior to
the passage Of the law authorizing
the five cents a mile, certain ques-
tions involved must be decided by the
comptroller of the treasury, and
consequently no payments will be
made until the comptroller has rem
dered his decision
When his decision has been made
the procedure to be followed will be
given wide publicity so that there
will be no question of everyone con-
cerned knowing what steps will be
necessary to get the additional mile
age due them.
