Fortune Hunters Quit Frozen
North in Droves, Leaving
Soldiers of Cross to Wrestle
With Problem of Saving Ma
tives From Hardships.

Soldiers of the cross rather than
gold seekers now are the principal
invaders of Alaska, called by the
Indians OF the Frozen North The
Great Country" because it covers
an area Of $50, 400 square miles, two
and one-half times as large as
Texas.
For while the stationary price
OF gold in a world OF ever advsnc-
ing prices has made thousands OF
poor claims improbable to work
any longer. so that hundreds Of
fortune hunters and adventurers
have left the country for the high
wages of The States, the task OF
the Church remains. However
much the white population of
about 10000 a decade ago, has
shrunk, nearly 10000 Indians and
Eskimo remain to be ministered to
and protected from exploitation.
The message of the Gospel was
carried to Alaska by the Russian
Orthodox Church long before it
was termed Stewards Folly" when
Seward, then Secretary Of State,
purchased il for S7,2OO,QOO in 1867.
1t was not until 1896, however, that
the Episcopal Church sent its first
emissary. Today, despite the diff
hcultes OF travel by river in sum-
mer and dog-sled in winter, the
Episcopal Church has three hospi-
tails, five schools, one library, a
mems club, and twenty-five mission
stations manned by approximately
forty-seven workers.
Through its Nationwide Cam
paign, the Episcopal Church pro-
posed to do much more for the In

The greatest immediate task fac
ing the Episcopal Church in Alas
ka today is preventing the estab-
lishment of canneries at the mouth
OF the Yukon, where nets will block
the salmon from going up the river
to spawn in the spring. One cam
merry was established last spring on
the lower Yukon, and such har-
vest OF fish did it catch that few
salmon reached the upper waters
Of the river, and as a result nearly
10000 Indians are facing starvation
this winter. Relief work for these
natives in cooperation with the
Department Of the Interior will be
an added problem for the Church
to face.

Just to illustrate the condition of
peoples minds at the present relative
to prices-that they do not want any
thing cheap-there was demonstra-
tion Wednesday when a fruit cart
standing on Seventh and Edmond
loaded with sizable and attractive
bananas bore a sign Of % cents a
dozen, and there were few purchasers
At Sixth aud Edmond on the o'a
Rock Island corner, was another cart
filled with bananas The fruit that
it contained apparently was of the
same quality as that displayed a short
distance away. If there was a differ
ence in quality, the first mentioned
profited by the comparison. Never
theless, a card tackled to the side of
the second cart announced a price Of
40 cents a dozen. The volume Of
business at the second cart was great
er than at the first More people
were passing by.
How do you get 40 cents for your
bananas?" asked an observer. Others
are selling Is cents cheaper"
The proprietor flashed back his re-
sentiment without any show Of timid-
ity. III people buy my fruit, it's be-
