 The result is that the parish house appears in . series of steps. breaking back from tho church. its height ranging from ono 10 six stories. This not only has provided the parish house ample light. but has left the great east window of the church free from shadow.
 Another ''island" of light appears to the south of the church. where low cloister has been imposed between the towering walls Of the church and . residence to the south. 4 carved stone doorway leads through this cloister to the tiny Chapel Of the Beloved Disciple. Thus light is promised the south windows.
 Setback ideas of construction have been prevalent in office build- ings for years, but this is believed to be the first time it has ever been applied to a church.

NEW BANK NOTES IN CIR
 ;sEuLATION BY JULY 10

The issue of new small-size cur rency will start July 10 under an elaborate plan designed to prevent money disturbance. Explaining the procedure, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, in a letter to George Hutch inson, presidertt of the First National Bank, Fairbanks, says:
 "We are about to inaugurate the replacement of all kinds of paper cur rency outstanding with currency of a smaller size. The amount involved is practically d,byDggu hrdl hrd hrdldl approximately $5,OOO, 100000, in all most 90O,OOO,OO0 pieces. The Treas ury is not calling in the old currency, nor is it undertaking an immediate replacement of all outstanding old size currency. Neither is it making any special provision for the direct exchange of the old size for the small size. On the contrary, for the issue of all kinds of small size currency, the usual procedure in effect for sup plying paper will she followed so far as possible. New small size currency will be made available to cover the redemptions of old size currency unfit for further circulation, and, general ly, payments of currency by federal reserve banks will include both new currency and circulated currency fit for further use, the new currency being of the smaller size, and the cir culated currency at first being of the old size but later of the small size. The issue of small size United States currency and fedeal reserve notes will commence July 10, 1929. The issue of small size nation albank notes win commence before the end of July"
 The new currency is 6 5-16 inches long by ? 3-16 inches wide. The fol- lowing portraits will be found on the various denominations: Washington, $1; Jefferson, $2; Lincoln, $5; Ham ilton, $10; Jackson, $2O; Grant, $50; Franklin, $100; Mckinley, $500; Cleveland, S1,O0O; Madison, $5,OOO; Chase, s10,0O0.

BEAVER SENTENCED TO
 HANG SEPT. T, FAIRBANKS

For the second time since the na- tive has appeared before him after being convicted on a first degree mur- der charge, Judge Cecil H. Clegg a few days ago sentenced Constantine Beaver to death, according to the Fairbanks News-Miner. The court directed that Beaver be hanged be- tween the hours of and 8 q. m. CID Saturday, September z.
 Sentence was passed after Judge Clegg had granted motion filed by United States Attorney J. A. Hurley asking that date be fixed for the natives execution. The main argu- ment of Thomas B. Drayton, Beavers attorney, against the motion was that the mandate from President Hoover refusing executive clemency had not yet arrived and that telegram was the only evidence possessed by the government to show that the plea for clemency had been denied.
 Beaver was found guilty in Febru- ary of murdering another native in the Holitna river country. He was first sentenced to hang in May, but a reprieve was granted by Governor Parks so thata plea for executive clemency could be placed before the President. The telegram saying the chief executive had refused to inter- cede was received about the middle of the month.
 Beaver will be the first man to die on the -gallows in Fairbanks since October, 1921, when Old Hamilton, an aged Indian, wa shanged for the mur- de rof fellow tribesman.

BRAVE MAN DIES IN ATTEMPT

CORDOVA, July BE. F. Mo Guire, army radio operator who won fame for his bravery in refusing to desert his post when the steamer Starr was wrecked last winter, again risked his life to save others, and this time lost.
 McGuire was riding in a speed boat with several small children.w when, due to too many crowding forward. the boat plunged into the lake and sank. McGnire caught two little tots in his arms and sheld them aloft above the icy waters until rescue boats neared, when, with safety just out of reach, he suddenly collapsed and went down.
 ' He was rushed to theshospital and artificial respiration vainly used for two hours in an seffort tesrestore life.

TOM TAYLOR, sOLDTIMER, HAS PROSPECTS ON. SWIFT FORK.
  OF HOLTTNA RIVER.

Oddie Hallson, Alaska game war den, in charge of this district, was 8 recent arrival at Takotna, accompa- nied by Mrs. Hallson, they having made the trip up from Bethel to Mr. CCrath in their own speedy craft.
 Speaking of conditions down river, Mr :Hallson states that Tom Taylor, a we'll known oldtimer, who has been prospecting in the vicinity of the Ho- litna and the Hoholitna rivers for the last fifteen years is credited A. with having found gold-.in the Swift fork of the Holitna river. He previously had found colors all through that re- zion, but this latest discovery is said to be great deal better than any he has found before :. Sam Voich .@ and Charlie Wood went up with Taylor about the latter part of June to. thor oughly prospect the new find.
 A large forest fire was sighted a considerable distance up Stony rivef when MT. Hallson came up, on the last of June. From later informa- tio nreceived, he. says cloudburst or exceptionally heavy rain storm put the fire completely out. which was most welcome news, as it meant the saving of a considerable amount of game.
 
 The New York-Alaska Gold Dredg- ing Company, operating at Bear creek, on the Tuluksak river, expect a short put prosperous season. They are employing about g men.
 In discussing the fur situation, Mr- Hallson states that he sees no cause for any great alarm or pessimism re- garding the future of the fur in this egion. Investigations, h esays, show that it is history repeating itself, and every indication points to the fact that it is merely a natural cycle as old in the history of fur as the Ter ritory itself. The scarcity of birds and rabbits, the fact that practically all the lynx caught last winter were exceptionally large, the fact that theres was a very good catch of fur caught close to the. coast in the delta country of the mouths of the Kusko- kwim and Yukon rivers, and numer- ous other indications have been mo- ticeable in every other cycle affect ing the fur catches in the country, said Miro. Hallson.
 Returning here Tuesday from -a brief visit at Ophir, in company with Carl Lottsfeldt, MT. and Mrs. Hollson left the same afternoon for McGrath, preparatory to returning downr iver to Bethel.
