Methodist Church Notes

There were 112 in Sunday school
last Sunday. Good, let's beat it next
Sunday, what do you say? We sure
did have a good congregation Sunday
morning. but the attendance wasn't so
good Sunday evening. We know that
the wind blew cold Sunday and that
the thermometer didn't climb much
above 26 all day and that it required a
desire a viii and some grace to face
the music Sunday evening, especially
if your oycrcoat was a wee bit thin.
We take note tha. some were kept
away from the services on account Of
sickness. We missed them, but we did
not forget them in our worship, and
are hoping they will be able to take
their places next sunday. We are glad
to noe some new faces in the congrc-
cation and hope that we may have the
privilege and pleasure of having them
present and worship with us often in
the future.
1t surely is encouraging to the pastor
10 note the interest manifested in all
the departments. of the church. There
are signs of renewed interest and pro-
gress in all, but we are very greatly
handicapped for the need of more room.
Our church is good as far as it goes.
When | think of how il serves our
needs with my minds eye l see a well
grown ~ year old boy crowded into a
suit cut for q boy or 10 years old.
He looks very much at disadvantage,
but there isn't thing wrong with the
boy except that he is very much in
need of a new suit of clothes. Let's
get the child a new suit
We had very interesting and profit
able meeting of the Board Of Stewards
Sunday afternoon at which time there
were some plans made which we hope
TO see materialize this year. The
board set the first Sunday in May as
the time to hold our annual revival
and asked the pastor to write DIR. II.
G. Morrison to see If we can get him
at that time to come and do the preach
ing and lead the meeting.
1t may be that the ordinary person
cannot realize how much their pres
ence is worth to the church, how it
cheers the heart of the pastor and the
leaders of the church to see their faces
in the crowd. Won't you come and
help gladden. the heart of someone.
To those having having pledged to
the Centenary, don't forget that these
are the last days of the time set to
clean up these pledges, so LET'S do our
best.

 Alaska Coal Land Transfers

Following hard on the heels of the Tea-Pot Dome oil grant expose, the revelations of which have created one of the greatest national scandals in the history of the United States, Senator Robert M. La toilette has introduced res olution in the senate calling for an investigation of an alleged plot whereby the coal areas set aside for the use of the Navy in the Matanuska coal fields were turned over to the Interior department during the incumbency of former Secre- tary Fall, whose alleged man. ipulations in connection with the leasing of the Tea-Pot Dome naval oil lands form the basis of the present oil probe.
 Following repeated tests, the Navy department spent ap- prexiHately 6 million dollars developing the Eska mine in the Chickaloon area, installed a coal washing plant costing nearly quarter million, osten- sibly to prepare the coal for naval use, then, for no appar- ent. reason, all government work ceased; it was announced

 MAN BURNED TO DEATH

Reports from the Tolovana section say that the cabin of William Hirsch, located about 50 miles up the Tolovana riv- CT, burned to the ground and that no trace can be found of the owner, who, it is believed, perished in the flames. Three natives visited the cabin Jan Euary 13, finding Hirsch alive and apparently in good spirits. When they returned a week later they found a note pinned to a tree about forty yards d. way from the cabin. It was dated the 18th. and is very rambling in it's wording. The writer also spoke of thought transference." The natives said that a heavy snow had fallen and that no tracks could be found showing that Hirsch had left the cabin.

 By Order Of President

Presaging possible complete abandonment of the project, President Coolidge has given orders to suspend all prepar- ations for the proposed Arctic flight of the naval dirigible Shenandoah until Congress has an opportunity to. express it's views on the subject. The presidential action is said U be animated by objections raised by certain congressme | against the expenditure of the $350,000 which would be Ill
 vo]ved in the flight. Although

efforts were started at once to secure congressional assent to the flight, naval officers are doubtful if sanction can be ob- tained in time to carry out the plans this summer. Although opposition to the flight has been expressed in congress, no organized fight has developed and Representative Rogers, of Massachusetts,, had planned to press for action a resolution fo1 the House to go on record as in favor of the expedition.

s. P. Fitzgerald, guiding spirit of the Independence. and Titan operations and one of the most widely known mining mJnI Of 'the Portland Canal district, returned Thursday from 8 business trip to Vic tcria, Seattle and other south-
 efn points During his visit in
 the former city Mir. Fitzgerald completed the organization of Ithe Independence properties and says the stock placed on the market was far oversub- isrribed within a few dave prin- | c'pally by Victoria peorle, al though a small block was dis posed of in Seattle. The sale ioS the initial one hundred and fifty thousand shares has pro-
 vided ample working capital
 to meet all requirements, MT.
 Fitzgerald says, but a :.r
 g eater amount could have
 been disposed of easily had it
 been desirable. He says the
 Portland Canal section is at- tracting wide attention in Vic- Itoria and Vancouver and many
 are seeking investments in the
 Id strict. The news of the Dun-
 well strike has created a sen-
 s@tion in southern B. c. and
 may lead to much new invest
 ment and development in the
 near future.
 MT. Fitzgerald states that
 Messrs Erickson, Forest and associates successfully floated
 the Rufus group, located or
 Bear river above the Ipdanen- 'dence group, in Victoria during
 his stay in that section.
 MT. Fitzgerald says it is the in-
 tention of his company to con tinue the development nro- gram inaugurated last fall for the present but 8 new schedule will probably be arranged for next summers operations. Mir. Fitzgrald brought in six tons Iof supplies and equipment for the Independence, including cars and rails. He intends to remain here only short time and will return to Victoria af- ter completing necessary ar- engagements at the Indepen-
 dence.

that the operation of the Chick aloon plant and the use of Alaska coal was impractical, " and the coal lands were turn ed over to the Department of the Interior. It now develops that s. Sumner Smith, of the Bureau of Mines, who directed the governmental development work and supervised the large expenditure of money, later ap- piled for a permit to operate the mines privately.
 The investigation asked by Senator Lafollette is said to be animated by recent charges laid before President Coolidge, by John E. Ballaine, of Seward, in which Ballaine declared that under a plan sponsored by Secretary Fall, private in- terests, after obtaining possess ion of the naval reserve coal lands, planned to sell the coal to the Navy. Rallaine charged that coal from the Mat anuska area suitable for all purposes of the Navy can be laid down at the seacoast for .S9.50 per ton, as against $11 6 ton, the price paid by the Navy for coal at present.
