FEBRUARY ISSUE OF CHURCH PAPER
 IS LIVE NUMBER

The February issue of The Alas kan Churchman, illustrated periodi- cal published quarterly at Nenana
 in the interests of the Episcopal church's work in Alaska, is off the press and now in process of distri- button to the many subscribers in all parts of the United States. The mail leaving Nenana today carried the bulk of the edition.
 The Alaskan Churchman, of which Rev. F. B. Drane is editor and pub disher, has the distinction of being the farthest north magazine pub lished in America and is one of two magazines published in Alaska. Its
 publication was started many years ago at Fairbanks, and continued there without interruption until the departure of Rev. H. H. Lumpkin, when Rev. Drane assumed charge as editor and publisher and Nenana became the place of publication. The printing is done at the office of The Nenana News, which is the only establishment in Interior Alas ka equipped for such work.
 The February issue is profusely illustrated and contains many inter-
 esting articles, with forceful edi- torial condemning the cannery op-
 erations at the mouth of the Yukon river. There are also interesting notes from the various missions throughout the Territory.
 | Progress of the Government Rail
 road as Seen from Anchorage, Alas
 ka," is the title of an article writ
 ten for The Churchman by Rev. E.
 W. Hughes and illustrated with sev-
 eral halftone pictures of the coast
 region traversed by the railroad.
 Rev. Guy H. Madara, formerly
 superintendent of the Panama Valley
 mission, contributes "The Musings of Former Sourdough Missionary"
 and Public Opinion," collected for
 The Alaskan Churchman by Mrs. Cecil H. Clegg of Fairbanks, shows the high esteem in which Rev. and
 Mrs. Lumpkin are held in Fairbanks. /, An anonymous contributor writes

about an Alaskan wedding; Burgess Wood Gather, who recently arrived to take charge of a mission on the upper Yukon, contributes "The I'm pression of a Cheechaco," and the Misses Rose-Myrtle and Fern-of the local mission, tell why they came to and what they think of the
 Northland. The concluding article
 is by Deaconess Mabel H. Pick and
 describes "A Very Happy Christmas lat Panama"
 A few copies of The Churchman have been left at The News office, where they may be obtained at a quarter each. The News also has been authorized to enter the names of those desiring to subscribe for The Churchman, either for them tselves or for friends in the States. And in this connection it might be stated that The Churchman is not printed for profit. The money re- ceived in subscriptions just about covers the cost of publication, thus
 enabling the church to keep Out. ;siders informed regarding the work that is being carried on in Alaska. The subscription price is one dollar
 a year.

AERO CLUB SEEKS
 SITES fOR PLANES

JUNEAU.-Landing sites, floats and other facilities are being sought in Juneau, Ketchikan and other Southeastern Alaska cities for sea, planes which will participate in q proposed air race between Seattle and Southeastern Alaska next sum- mer.
 The Aero Club of the Northwest, with headquarters in Seattle, is making arrangements for the race. Prizes totaling $25,OOO may be of. fered, according to advices reach ing Juneau.
 Already two well-known aviators Cliff Durant, former prominent automobile race driver, and Captain Sir Arthur Whitten Brown, non- stop transatlantic flyer, have stated they may enter the race.
 Alaskans are hoping that the air plane racers will break trail for iairplane mail service to Alaska from Seattle. Mail at present is shipped ias freight, and weeks could be saved in some places if airplanes were used.

JURYMEN LEAVE FOR UPPER TOWN
 ID START WORK

The train leaving Nenana today carried a considerable number of local citizens who were drawn re- gently as members of the federal grand jury which will convene at Fairbanks next Tuesday The de- partures also included number of others who have been summoned to appear as witnesses before the grand jury, and it is probable that some of them will be required to remain in the upper town until after the final disposition of the cases with which they are concerned. Another contingent will go to Fairbnks next Tuesday, and still later the Nenanaites who will serve as petit jurors during the present term of court. The grand jurors will be released as soon as they have concluded their investigations,
 and the belief is that the session will not be a long one, but the
 petit jurors doubtless will have a long stay of it in the upper town. The Nenanaites who were drawn as members of the grand jury are George w. Woods, Harry Watson, J. A. Dyer, c. E. Bergman, Albert
 Clarno, J. w. Thinker, N. P Nelson,
 and s. E. Parks.
 Those who will represent Nenana on the petit jury are: Fred Major, i Harry Phillips, Mike Kinaley, Fred
 Mann, A. E. Funk, Dave s. Hal
 leran, J. C. Jacobson, E. A. Head,
 A. M. Bevans, J. T. Oldfield, and
 George Morell.

UNDERWOOD IS NOT MUCH INTERESTED
 ADMINISTRATION
Will Cooperate With Senate Committee, However, Should It Decide to Probe Re-
 cent Alabama Primary
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau The Age Herald
 kll l1HIdsan RnIIhina


 Washington. September 29.-(SpeciaD. = playing little interest in the plan of the Senate committee Investigating campaign scandals, to inquire into aleged law in fractions committed in Alabama during the recent primary campaign.
 As matter of fact, until notified by this correspondent, he was not aware that George Lockwood, a Washington newspaper man had urged the committee to investigate Alabama conditions be- cause of an interview in which Senator Underwood had been quoted as having said that those opposing him had ex- pended approximately s25o,occ.
 The senator said:
 T am not prosecuting attorney, and if course, will not put the case before the committee. It is q matter for the courts, and I would welcome an inveS- tigation by the courts of Alabama How ever, if the committee decides to inves- tigate, I will cooperate with it.
 T did say in Alabama some weeks ago that it was generally believed that the factions and individuals who opposed me last May expended sum approximating s250. GOO My interview to that effect was published in Montgomery Birmlngnani and Mobile. It was not challenged, de- nied or even questioned by an individual or faction conspicuous in the campaign" In this connection, it is recalled that while the ballots were being tabulated and the result unknown, Judge HenryB B. Eos ter, who managed the campaign of l.. B. Musgrove, intimated to the press that il- legal tactics were being indulged in by the Underwood management. Immediate ly afterwards, Lloyd Hooper. who man. aged the Underwood campaign, chal- l lenged Judge Foster to complete snow down respecting the methods which both | organizations had practiced. It was then that Judge Foster conceded the nomiIl- | ation of Underwood.
 l The next chapter was contained in the affidavit filed by MT Musgrove with | the Senate of the United States. In that affidavit MT. Musgrove cited his expenses at something less than $l0000. but added | that other money must have been spent 1 in his behalf by his friends. He pro- fessed to be ignorant of the amount in- volved or the names of individuals who expended such amount

Harding Special Misses Serious Wreck
 By a Hairs Breadth
By Associated Press

On Board Seator Hardings Special Train, Setember 39.-Senator Harding s special train escaped a serious wreck by hairs bredth today as it was car rying the republican nominee across West Virginia on the last leg of his campaign tour.
 His private car left the rails near Millwood, a small mountain village and with it's trucks banging themselves to pieces over the railwty ties was dragged across a high and narrow trestle at the rate of thirty miles an hour. The train came to a stop be- yond the chasm just as the rear wheels of the car veered off the ties entirely and buried themselves in the gravel. The other cars were not derailed and no one was injured. A defective cast ing in the front truck which jolted to pieces as the car crossed switch, was blamed by train officials for the acci- lent In it's perilous career, the heavy car splintered ties and snapped off all bolts for more than three hundred yards.
 Tonight the special minus the abandoned cars turned northwestward or Marion, the senator completing ais three day trip with two evening addresses in Ohio. During the day he had spoken in a half dozen West Vir- yinia cities and had addressed big afternoon meeting at Ashland, Ky. Americanissn, representative govern nent and governmental economy fea- .ured the nominees speech and he also ouched on most of the other issues of the campaign.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

, the Editor of the Age Herald:

To the Editor of the ge-Herald:
 ''The best laid schemes O mice and men
 Gang aft a-gleyii
 So do the best made themes O women sometimes, and the kindest intentions O newspaper folk.
 Perhaps typographical error quoted Dr. Williams of Howard college on the church page of Sundays Age-Herald as saying:
 For the college I have never seen a more attractive site than the tract we have purchased on a plateau of 120 acres on Woodlawn Heights"
 Perhaps 'purchased' was an error in the church editors copy which the waste basket has carried forever beyond recall.
 Whatever the reason for the mistake, it is a pleasure now to correct the sra,e- ment by assuring Mir w. R. Hilliard that the word intended was selected in- stead of purchased"
 A wide difference certainly, and a mis take which the church editor regrets, and for which she hopes no one will hol
