REOPENING OF
 RIVERSIDE DELAYED

Resumption of operations on the Riverside will probably be delayed for some days, owing to the absence of Manager J. D. Littlepage who is at present in Ketchikan doing duty for Uncle Sam as 8 grand juryman. Although not included in the number of grand jury members originally called, Mir. Little page, who left for Ketchikan recently in company with Jas. L. Freeburn, is said to have a1- rived there just in time to be called to fill vacancy in the inquisitorial body. The present prospects are that he will not be able to return to Hyder for some days. In the meantime the mine will probably remain closed down.
 Recent arrivals report that nothing definite is known in Ketchikan regarding the re- ported prospective sale of the Riverside property to the Free burn interests or of the prog |ress of negotiations, although lit is considered certain that 'one or more of the present owners will retire.

 Following a conference at the hecinning of the year, it was understood the two railways have been trying to arrive at a mutually satisfactory route out of the Peace River district.

Forty-eight deaths and 384 injured was the toll of mine accidents i'll Alaska during the years of 1923 and 1924, ac- cording to official figures con tained in a report to the Alas ka Legislature by E. D. Stewart Territorial Mines Inspector.
 The figures prepared by MT. Stewart cover all industrial &C., cidents occurring in the TerrI- tory during the past biennium and disclose that 59 per cent of the deaths and IT per cent of the injuries were the result of accidents in the mining in- dustry. Eleven persons were killed and 283 injured out of a total of 4,101 employed in the mining industry during 1923, making a fatality rate of 3.79 and an injury rate of 94.58. The high average is forcibly displayed in the report by com parison with other Territorial industries for the same year, which show that out of a total of 19,538 persons employed in all other industries only II
 were killed and 105 injured. Ten of the fatalities and 97 of the injuries sustained in all other industries occurred in the fishing industry, which en- ployed 16,924 workers. The death rate for all other indust- ries was 2.75, compared to 3.79 in the mining industry, while the injury rate amount ed to 25.76 as against 94.58 fol
 mining. Totals for the bien-
 nium disclose that out of 8,222
 men employed in mining
 27 were killed and 680 in-
 jured. The fishing industry en-
 ployed 33,819 men but despite
 it's numerous hazards the num- Der of deaths due to accident
 were only 16, with 1894 injuries reported. Accidental deaths in
 all other industries, employing
 a total of 3,035 persons,
 amounted to no more than 3, with only 20 persons injured.

STEESE WILL HOLD
 HARBOR HEARINGS

Presenting a matchless op- portunity for placing before the War Department Engin- eering Board and the federal government the great need of the town for protection against the encroachments of Salmon River and also for the removal of navigation dangers along the waterfront, Col. James G. Steese, head of the Alaska Road Commission and chief of the Alaska division of the Engineering Board, will ar rive in Hyder next month for the purpose of holding hear ings on the projected survey of Hyder harbor authorized by the last Cong-esss under the provisions of a bill introduced by Delegate Sutherland.
 The announcement of the dis tinguished visitors contem- plated visit was contained in a telegram addressed to presi- dent Ernest Blue of the Cham Der of Commerce. The message stated that Col. Steese would arrive May l4th, and would hold hearings on the question of survey for improvement of Hyder harbor and related matters authorized by the Riv- CT and Harbors Act last March.
 Col. Steese. will be in Hyder only one day, arriving on the Wales and departing on her re- tun to Ketchikan.
 According to the message Col. Steese will be accompan- jed by a stenographer, who will record the testimony pre- sented a the hearing.
 Although not actually includ- ed in the scope of the contem- plated hearing on the harbor improvement issue, there is no doubt that the matter of ss- curing protection from the riv- CT can be taken up with Col. Steese during his visit and will undoubtedly result in some benefit in that direction. Col. Steese is already somewhat ac- quainted with the matter as a result of local appeals for pro- lection against the flood con- ditions developing in earlier years and if the matter is prop erly presented his assistance in securing the much needed re- lief is practically certain.
 The Chamber of Commerce is preparing to present all the evidence bearing on the river protection matter possible to obtain and will also make a strong urge for much needed harbor improvements.

PEACE RIVER
 FARMERS DEMAND
 ACTION ON R. k

ment and now openly conced- ed failure of the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National rilways heads to decide on a feasible route to their district, the settlers of the Peace River section are up in arms and de- handing not only that the Ot- tawa government make an im- mediate disclosure of it's policy respecting that impo1itanE question but also that the AL berta government enter into di- rect negotiations with the c. P. R. with a view to induc- ing that company to acquire the Edmonton-Dunveagan and the Central Canada Railway lines with a view to their ult- innate extension to the Pacific coast. Resolutions to the above effect were endorsed by the Associated Boards of Trade of the Peace river district last week, according to the follow ing Edmonton dispatch:
 Due to what speakers termed the apathetic attitude of the Dominion Government, as well as the heads of the c. P. R and c. N. R. in coming to a definite conclusion with regard to the railroad development of the Peace River country, as outlin- ed in the Ottawa conference of January last, the Associated Boards of Trade of the Peace River District, representing the north side of the Peace, held a a mass meeting Wednesday night and a general discussion of all angles was indulged in until a late hour.
 After a thorough review of the facts as they affect the Peace River country, a repre- sentative committee was se- lected for the drawing up of resolutions to be forwarded to Premier Greenfield of Alberta and Hon. w. l.. Mackenzie King.
 The meeting adjourned until yesterday, when another mass meeting approved the resolut- ions, which were ordered wired to the heads of the two gov enments.
 The resolution sent to Pre- mier Greenfield calls upon the government of the Province of Alberta "to make immediate arrangements to have the c.
 P R. Company acquire the E. D. &B. c. and Central Canada Railway lines and for obtain ing for the Peace River people the advantages of q one line freight and passenger tariff
 on all incoming and outgoing traffic, and that such arrange Fments shall provide for pledges and safeguards as to 3 deGidite
 programme of continued con struction toward an outlet on ! the Pacific Coast.

 above discloses that the ques.
 tion is still undetermined in SC

are attacking their own problems.
They are no longer taking cues from
the missionaries who come there, but
are stepping into the situations con-
fronting them with the intention and
determination to solve the puzzles
presenting themselves. Consequently
they are developing a judgment Of
affairs which bids fair to lead to even
greater benefits for the Christian re-
ligion.
The mistake must not be made, how
ever, he warned, of casting all the re-
sponsibility for Christianity in japan
on the shoulders Of the Japanese until
they are strong enough to assume 1t.
That time will come gradually.
To Take Up Task in 20 Years.
From this point on. he declared. ia
pan was ready to assume more and
more responsibility for the Christian re-
ligion, and fewer and fewer trail-blazing
missionaries will be sent until in about
20 years the only connection between
this country's mission boards and Japan
will be in the persons OF highly trained,
superior advisers and Counselors, who
will act as pilots in steering the ship
OF religion In the isle until the Japanese
have evolved even substitutes for them.
A let-up in financial support OF the
Christian missions in Japan would be
disastrous, however, he said, for al
though Japan is gradually assuming
more and more financial responsibility,
the period has not yet come when the
church there Is self-supporting.

Missionary Faces Dangers.
THE missionary has faced every
possible type of difficulty and danger
in the carrying on OF his work
exile. disease, opposition, riots. mar
tyrdom and every sort of peril by
land and sea. Wherever he has gone
churches have sprung up. hospitals
have been built, schools have been
opened and new and worthier life
has come into existence. The story
OF missionary achievement consti-
tutes, without gainsaying, one of the
most glorious pages of history.
The Christian religion is intrin sically
and unchanEeably a missionary re-
ligion. When II ceases to be mis-
sionary, it ceases to be Christian"
Rev DR. Stewart Winfield Herman,
pastor of Zion Lutheran Church. Har-
risburg, Pa, speaking yesterday,
charged that the average congrega-
tion is scarcely 10 per cent efficient
in it's missionary program.
Each congregation in America, he
declared, should have its representa-
tive at work in the foreign field.
Cites Survey Results.
"A recent survey of congregations"
he said, indicated that the average
congregation was approximately so
per cent loyal in attendance upon the
various services. About 80 per cent
of the church members felt their re-
sponsibility enough to receive the
holy communion at least once a year
and that about 16 per cent contrib
uted Systematically to the various
current and benevolent funds of the
church. We would not be regarded
as being overextravagant upon the
basis OF such percentages to say that
the average congregation is scarcely
10 per cent efficient upon what we
would consider as an adequate for
eign missionary program for a con-
gregation.
We can think of no better objec-
tive of the congregation than so to
develop its work that in all parts of
the world there shall be representa-
tives, so that the Christian work of
that congregation shall be carried on
without interruption throughout the
"a hours OF each day of the 365 days
of each year-a congregation upon
whose work and workers for the
Christ, the sun never sets
