Many Interested in
Evangelistic Meetings

The evangelistic services being con-
Quoted nightly in Liberty hall by Rev
j. t. Jacobs and Rev. H. A. Schultz
of the Seventh Day Adventist church
are creating good deal of interest
and attracting fair sized crowds.
s'The lectures are creating an inter-
est in the study of the sacred scrip
tures," Rev. Schultz said yesterday.
men and women who are attending
declare that they have never before re-
ceived such a clear knowledge of Gods
Word. Others are beginning to realize
that an opportunity of a lifetime has
come to them, and are beginning to
attend now, realizing that the lectures
are worth more to them than the
fleeting things of life.
Sunday evening a good number at
tended. A discourse on Modern and
Ancient Spiritualism was given by
Evangelist j. T. Jacobs, who said that
modern spiritualism, in all it's phases
and phenomena, is the work of wicked
spirits and is one of the most promin-
ent signs of the end of the age. The
evil spirits, or spirits of devils, have
ever opposed the work of good carry
ing out the commands of their leader,
Satan, deceiving, lying, betraying, and
in every way leading men downward
to perdition. The severity of the di-
vine warnings against the ancient
practices Of necromancy, or medium
ship, should not be UNDECIDED. The
Lord said, Regard not them that have
familiar spirits, neither seek after wiz
ards, to be defiled by them. / am
the Lord your God.'-Lev. 1881.
There shall not be found among you
any one who maketh his son or daugh-
ter to pass through the fire, or that
useth divination, or an observer of
times, or an enchanter, or WITCH or
a charmer, or consulter with famil-
lar spirits, or a wizard or necroman-
Ger Gone who communicates with the
dead. For all that do these things are
an abomination unto the Lord.'-Deut.
19:9-12.
"A new chain of subjects will be-
gin Friday evening, which will reveal
the great work of Christ at the present
time"
Rev. Schultz urges that the programs
for the coming week be kept and that
definite plans to attend each night be
made, as this, he promises, "will be
one Of the choicest weeks of the en-
tire series; lectures that are heart
gripping, interesting, and Of such a
nature that you never forget them"
A twenty-minute song service pre-
cedes the lecture hour, which begins
promptly at 1850 p. m.

Angus Hay Dies
At Sequinn Home

| Angus Hay, 81 years old, former
publisher Of the White Bluffs Spokes-
man and for the last sixteen years
owner and publisher OF the Seouin
Press, died suddenly Monday at his
home at Sequiln following paralytic
stroke.
| Born on a boat in Canadian waters
on Lake Superior in 1870, Mr.. Hay
learned the printers trade as boy.
His first newspaper venture was the
publication of the Hinkley (Minno
Enterprise which he established. Later
he moved to Minneapolis and st. Paul
where he worked on daily papers
He came to washington in the early
part of the present century. He first
established weekly newspaper at
Hover, in Benton county, but moved
his plant to White Bluffs at the be-
ginning of irrigation in this valley and
established the White Bluffs Spokes-
man, the first issue being dated August
2, 1907. He continued the publication
of the Spokesman until 1915 when he
sold the paper to E. j. O'Larey and
moved to Sequim where he purchased
the Sequim Press
During his first years residence in
White Bluffs he lost his wife and five
years later married the present Mrs.
Hay who was Miss Vesta Messer. The
widow and two sons, Gordon and
Angus, Jr., survive.
While he lived here Mr.. Hay was
identified with the period of early
pioneer development in this valley, in
which he took an active interest. Dur
ing the five years preceding his move
to Sequim, Mr.. Hay was postmaster at
White Bluffs.

First Snow Falls
Wednesday Morning

Although snow had previously fallen
In nearly every part Of the state, this
valley received It's first white blanket
Of the season Tuesday night, or rather,
Wednesday morning and forenoon,
when about three inches fell.
The unreasonable cold weather that
had prevailed for several days, mod
Grated Tuesday and the warmer at
mosphere undoubtedly produced the
snow.
Winter has arrived this season
much earlier than for several years but
is welcomed by most growers who be-
lieve that some snow and at least rea-
sonably cold weather is generally con-
ductive to good crops. They also feel
that the mild weather last winter was
responsible in part for the unpreced-
ented number of codling moth this
summer.
According to newspaper accounts,
the fall of snow in the mountains has
been unusually heavy and far exceeds
the amount on the ground at this time
last year. This is welcome news to
those irrigation projects that depend
on storage for their water.
The chief objections to the present
weather is being made by duck hunt
ers. They were trying to make the
most of limited open season but the
cold weather last week froze over
most of the pons and as it is unlaw-
full to hunt on the river they will be
shut out unless milder weather should
melt the ice on the ponds before the
close of the season on December Is.
Although many places In the west
have reported sub zero weather the
lowest point to be reached in this VAL
ley was 10 above Monday night, ac-
cording to the government thermo
meter at Hanford.

Near Accident Occurs
At Grants Corner

What might have been serious ac-
cident occurred near Grants Corner
Monday evening between four and five
p. m., when a tire blew out on one of
the back wheels of Ed Petersons Sc
dan as he was on his way home from
White Bluffs, and the car went into
the ditch, saved from a complete up
set by being wedged against power
pole. Mr.. Peterson and his passenger
were uninjured but the car was badly
damaged.

SEWARD ALASKA, MONDAY, MAY IS, 1881
CONTRIBUTED

We leave the port of Seward,
 Travelling north by rail; Climbing hills and mountains,
 Ger winding trail The skies are, oh, so blue,
 And trees along the ledge. We are coming to a stop
 At the town of Anchorage. This place is sure surprising,
 As over it's streets we ride. Buildings and the people
 Are much like those Outside. We travel on to Curry,
 Which the tourists praise, At the base of Mt Mckinley,
 We can see it's summit raise. Another town is Healy,
 The meals served there are fine. Besides this there's not much,
 Except large coal mine. Now we reach Nenana,
 Here rail and water meets, And chechako and sourdough Each other friendly greet. At the end of the rail is Fairbanks, All are waiting patiently. If different from the Outside,
 What the change might be. Fairbanks is a marvel
 And strictly up to date; With talkies and quite modern Like cities in the States. Sorry that my stay is short,
 The place appeals to me; I must take the plane to Bettles, Where dear one" I will see. Seven thousand feet our altitude Things look so small below; And animals like midgets
 Are moving to and fro. The Ship" sails over mountains, With weather calm and clear. When pilots know the way,
 One has naught to fear. Two hours trip from Fairbanks, The plane sets down on snow; Where a dog team is awaiting, For further North we go. Sixty miles by dog team; Over 9 snow packed trail, With cabins few and far between, It would not do to fail. With a native as a guide,
 We meet many on the way, All bound for Wild River
 Where we expect pay. The weather here is splendid,
 And night as bright as day; For in this land at this time,
 At midnight one can play. Men and grub arrive
 Locating around the lake Each one hurrying to the creeks
 And all a claim to stake. The mining game is hard,
 One to win must work; For in a land of hardships
 It does not pay to shirk. To say that you have won
 When your story's told; Is considered an achievement,
 When you seek Alaskan gold.
