Word was received at Valdez last week by Deputy Marshal John Bouse that Col. W. P. Richardson, formerly of the Alaska road commission, would go to California early in June and join Lieutenant General Bullard, com manding the Western department, on a tour of Alaska. General Bullard has requested that Colonel Richardson be allowed to join his staff for this trip on account of his familiarity with con- ditions in the territory.

SKULL BROKEN IN FALL FROM
 SCAFFOLDINC

Gus Bulstad, a carpenter, formerly of Seattle, recently of Petersburg, died recently in the emergency hospital at Seward as the result of a fall some time ago at Port Chatham, by which his skull was fractured in two places. Death came after Drs. Baughman and Romig had removed a blood clot from the brain as large as 8 hens egg, and also removed a portion of the skull which had been broken and pressed into the brain. The operation was one safe bet out of 1000 chances. Bulstad was dying and the operation was done to see if life could not be prolonged, and perhaps saved.
 Bulstad was a carpenter working on the cold storage plant at Port Chat ham. While on a scaffolding at the second story, Bulstad fell to the ground He was unconscious for sev- eral days. Later he regained con- sciousness and was around the plant, and although suffering, seemed of nor nal mind. Last Tuesday Bulstad again sank into a comatose condition and was placed on the Admiral Evans, ar- irving in Seward still unconscious.
 The injured man was taken to the Seward hotel, and he was growing weaker he was sent to the emergency hospital and the attempt was made to save his life through an operation.
 The body will probably be sent to Petersburg or Seattle. Bulstad was a man 37 years of age, and had been at Port Chatham about two months.

THREE KILLED
 IN SLIDE ON.
 COVT.RAIL.WAY

Work of removing slides on Turn again arm between Miles II and 76 on the government railroad has been stopped. Those in charge do not want to take any further risk of men being caught by slides that are liable to occur at any time, owing to the ex- treme change in the weather. A re- port from Mile 76 was to the effect that several small slides had occurred during Thursday night, but no men were at work at the time and there were no fatalities.
 Of the three victims who lost their lives in the slide at Mile 76 last Wednesday, the bodies of John Ru- deen was recovered a short time after the accident, the body of Pete Egel- vain, an Armenian, was recovered later, but the body of R. Romero has not yet been recovered. Romero came north on the last trip of the Admiral Evans He has a brother also with the commission at Anchor age. Perhaps Romero's body will not be recovered, as the sand in the Arm generally fills a persons clothes and quickly takes it to the bottom.
 Several heroes developed at the time of the slide at Mile 76. The eleven men in the gang were all pushed by the slide into the Arm. Eight were finally rescued and sent to the hospital at Anchorage. One man was carried far out into the Arm and managed to get onto a floating piece of ice. He was being carried down the Arm by the tide and began yelling for assistance. Albert Baum berger, fireman on one of the rotaries, declared that he would save the man or lose his life in the attempt. Baum berger's companions put a rope around his waist and told him to go. Baumberger swam out into the cold water ana nad neaTly EeaC0eu CnS man on the cake of ice when the rope became tight and he was told from shore that all slack had been taken up.
 "Cut the rope" yelled back. Baum berger.
 The rope was cut. Baumberger reached the cake of ice, grabbed the slide victim, and safely swam ashore with him, although nearly exhausted when he did reach the shore.

CASEY IN SLAVIC
TRANSFORMING
OF OLD CELTIC NAME.

It's hard to know how they spell the
good old Irish name of Casey in Jugo-
Slavia; but it has been spelled there
and understood there as General NikO-
las Steponof testifies. 'The Knights
of Columbus" he writes Supreme Sec
rotary William ]. Mckinley, ''are
known among the Jugo-Slav armies,
although they have done no relief
work among those armies. Many of
our soldiers fought on the western
front during the war and they have
brought to Jugo-Slavia the fame of
Casey" and he tries to spell the word
in Jugo-Slavic.
After deciphering three cts" two
ks" and a few scattered "p's," Sec
rotary Mckinley decided that if they
spelled Casey that way in Jugo-Slavia
it was no place for an American or
ganization to attempt to introduce
American methods. So while General
Steponof will receive all the advice
and good will he desires from the
"Caseys," he cannot be awarded the
services of the men who made a hit
with the A. E. F. Their temperaments
withstood German shells, but Jugo
Slavic spelling is something else
again.

Brief Reviews and Notices

Report of Proceedings Of 18th Annual
Meeting Catholic Educational Asso-
citation. Published and issued from
Office of Secretary General, 1851 E.
Main St., Columbus, O.
Many interesting papers are noticed
in the Annual Report of the Catholic
Educational Association, just at hand.
The volume is one of over 600 pages,
and containing as it does matter per-
tanning to various lines of education,
has an appeal for teachers from the
primary to the university.
The papers were presented at the
annual convention, the seventeenth in
the history of the Educational
Association, which was held in New
York and largely attended. The SER
mon of Archbishop Hayes, delivered at
the opening Mass, is included in the
Report In it he sounds clear note
of the present-day crying need for re-
ligion in education, for other ends "by
ing the Archbishop's appeal for truly
Christian education may be noted the
strong emphasis laid by Bishop Sha-
han, the President General, in his
opening address, on the fundamental
principles of democracy, the highest
exponent of which, the Catholic
Church, is ever striving to keep her
children close to the spiritual, in the
school, and to Undue them with quail
ties that make for Christian citizen
ship.
Within the compass of a brief re.
view it would be impossible to make
mention of every article, but a mum.
Der of paramount Importance strike
the eye, notably the one by Rev. E.
v. O'Hara, LII. D., pastor of Eugene,
Oregon, on "The Rural Problem in Its
Bearing on Catholic Education"

DIOCESE OF LEAD

Glen Cross: On last Sunday morn
ing the ceremony of dedicating the
new church was performed by the
Right Reverend Bishop assisted by
Rev. Henry Kipp of Timber Lake and
the local pastor, Rev. F. Besendorfer.
The petition for pastor about a year
ago was considered premature to say
the least, owing to the small number
of families here, but the people had
better foresight than their critics as
may be seen from what has been &C.
complished. This congregation has
doubled because of the coming of a
resident pastor, and the people prom
Use to have a Sisters school within
two years.
Isabel: Bishop Lawler, accompa-
MED by Fathers Kipp, Besendorfer and
Moore, blessed the new church last
Monday morning. 1t was a very happy
occasion for the people, who had been
worshipping for years in part of the
priests residence. Now that they
have completed the church they are
looking forward to the time when they
shall have parish school. This bless
ing is not far distant.
FiresteeI: Last Monday afternoon
this parish was honored by a visit
from the Right Reverend Bishop. He
presided at a meeting of the members
of this congregation and ordered the
erection of church in the spring. He
said that the old system of holding
services in somebody's house or store
has been abolished throughout the Do
cese, and that now God has His own
house in every community. For the
present the parish is attended from
Isabel, but the people hope to have a
pastor of their own some day.
Buffalo: The new church here was
dedicated and the Sacrament of Con-
firmation administered last Saturday
by Bishop Lawler.
Box: The Right Reverend Bishop
assisted by the pastor, Rev. J. D.
Shannon, blessed the new church here
last Sunday Confirmation was given
after Mass.

The Forty Hours devotion opened in
the Cathedral on Sunday with Solemn
High Mass. The Cathedral Clergy
We're assisted by Rev. Thomas Merrill
OF Red Lake Falls and Rev. II. Pelger
The entire parish received Commun
ion, most of the parishioners going
to Holy Communion every morning,
while in their visits to the Blessed
Sacrament during the day they exhib-
tied true zeal and deep devotion.
GENTLY: Messrs. Kover & Son of
Fort Wayne, Ind, who were awarded
the contract for decorating ST. Peters
Church, completed their work a few
days ago. They have given entire sat
isfaction; in fact, Father Theillon,
whose valuable suggestions and good
taste Mr.. Kover did not hesitate to
commend, is highly pleased. The OBJ
ject the church has in such decora-
tons is everywhere carried out, the
paintings and decorations being
means of instruction and edifcation
and inviting devotion. Father Theil-
Ion can now justly boast of having one
Of the finest country churches in the
state; and one free of debt. His res
idence, called the White House of
Gentilly," was recently repainted.
Stephen: Messrs. kover & Son
Stephen where Rev. Joseph Fraling is
pastor. This church is a gothic struc-
ture and is well adapted to religious
art, which, no doubt, the artists sue
ceeded we'll in bringing out.
Ada: The Right Reverend Bishop
blessed the large bell of ST. Joseph's
Church, assisted by Father Pelger the
pastor and Father Merth of the Cathe-
dral. The Bishop took occasion to
commend the good work accomplished
here under the passionate of Father
Pelger, a jealous and untiring priest
The church is now complete, with but
a small debt on it.
Two InIets: st. Mary's Church has
received it's first resident pastor in
the person of Rev. H. j. Decker Two
Inlets was formerly attached to St.
Peters parish of Park Rapids, but its
growth in recent years necessitated
the formation of a parish here. An
up-to-date residence is being erected
and will be ready for occupancy in
few weeks. Father Funk, who has
been attending Two Inlets, says the
presbytery when completed will be al
most free from debt

PROBLEM OF THE
NEAR EAST WORRIES POWERS
MAY ENLARGE VATICAN'S JUR-
IsDIcTIoN OVER CATHOLIC. IN.
NS-PALESTlNE WILL
NOT PROVIDE SUBSISTENCE
FOR INCREASED POPULATION.

Not the least intricate of the prob
lens facing the interallied conference
at San Reno, in connection with the
Turkish settlement, is the protection
of the religious institutions scattered
throughout the Ottoman dominion
In the Near East, more than any
where else in the world, politics and
religion go hand in hand. Up to the
outbreak of the Great War, the relig-
ious institutions, foreign missions and
schools, oftentimes were made the
wedge for the opening of a political
movement. The French first, in spite
of the fact that they drove the Jesuits
out of their own country, jealousy
guarded their interests in the Otto
man districts, and for many years the
French government regarded itself as
the special protector of all foreign
missionary establishments. Supse-
quently the Kaiser took a hand in
this game and heralded himself as the
special protector of Christian institu-
lions established in the Ottoman
realm
Up to the outbreak Of the war, for
a period Of approximately fifty years,
the powers required the appointment
of Catholic governor of Lebanon
with their sanction and approval. The
Turks disregarded theis requirement
the moment they linked their fortunes
with the central empires.
NIder DeooIee IIn;+:ao
The whole aspect Of the religious
situation has been changed by the
war, but it remains as intricate as
ever. Palestine and parts of Syria
find themselves for the moment under
British and French protection. The
Greeks and Italians are demanding a
toothOld on the eastern shores of the
mediterranean. Even the older peo-
pies, the Jacobites, the HISTORIANS
and the Chaldeans, in whom the ma
tionalistic leaven is working; have to
certain extent buried their differ.
ences and are for the first time col
lectively demanding recognition as AS
syrians.
The powers will undoubtedly find it
necessary to make some provision for
the religious institutions, a large pro-
portion of which are Catholic. I'm
der the old so-called capitulations the
rights of thpse institutions were in
corporated in Turkish law. The prin-
ciple of extra-territoriality was ap-
piled in the Ottoman Empire and each
country, as a rule, exercised direct
