Costly Night Fire
 In Ketchikan

Damage to the extent of S35,000 was done to the Me Kay marine ways at Ketchikan by a night fire which destroy ed additional property valued at S15,000 and threatened for a time the entire west end of the city last week.
 The near conflagration was caused by a tar pot equipped with a gasoline burner catch ing fire.
 In addition to damaging the marine ways, the fire also de- stroyed an automobile and warehouse belonging to Hans Apich, a trolling boat belong ing to Jack Rice, and caused damage to the Ketchikan Boundary, and GilPs Laundry and cleaning establishment.
 Volunteer firemen and the crews of the Cutter Alert and city fireboat fought the flames for two hours before the fire was checked. The weather was calm and this is believed all that saved the west end, as the flames shot 100 feet into the air, dropping cinders in all parts.

 5,250,000 Cases Expected

Up to September 5, the 1881 salmon pack of Alaska aggre- gated 5,178,292 cases, as re- ported to the U. s. Fisheries Bureau in Juneau, according to the Juneau Empire.

 The pack on September : included 1,637,906 cases of reds and 2,816,O19 cases of pinks.
 Although the fishing season had been ended in the north ern end of Southeastern Alas ka for from three weeks to more than month, salmon were said to be still running, many bays and inlets having myriads of fish milling around near the months of streams and all streams we'll filled with spawning fish.

.O|L IS CHEAPER
THAN AUTOS

Despite the fact automobile
prices are sharply lower than
they were two years ago, good
oil is still cheaper than automo-

search Foundation in a bulletin
cautioning summer motorists to
devote special attention to their
oily supply during July and Au-
gust. The bulletin continues:
although American motor
lists are becoming constantly
more cOgniZant of the fact
that the life and efficiency of
their automobiles depends very
largely upon the care and at
tentiOn which they receive,
there is still a tendency among
too many motorists to practice
foolish economy in the matter

ALASKA AGAIN IN LIMELIGHT.

Alaska scenic grandeur and topographic and geological phenomenon again in the lmelight due to profusely illustrated and interesting articles in the last National Geographic Magazine and a late New York Times by competent authorities writ ing about actual experiences
 The Rev Bernard R. Hubbard s. J.. the "Glacier Priest" of Alaska and the Alps, takes twenty pages in the National Geographic Magazine for his article and thirty-sx original illustrations for an exceedingly graphic and entertaining article on his explorations in the giant volcanoes Aniakchak and veniaminof. Most of the article is devoted to the first named which gives title to the article, "A World Inside Mountain" The factual matter has mostly heretofore appeared in The Empire. He brings out clearly the immensty of the mammoth crater which is twenty-one miles in circumference and contains thirty square miles with crater within the crater and all sorts of flora and wild life and brilliant scenic effects.
 The New York Times article is from the pen of Dr. William s Ladd of New York, President of the American Alpine Club It tells of the thrilling experiences of Dr. Ladd and three associates who climbed Mount Fairweather last spring. The facts and details of this trip told in signed article by Dr. Ladd in The Empire last June. The article in the Times three pages and is Illustrated with several fine and Illuminating pictures of the great mountain that mastered after weeks Of hardship battling with the elements and arduous climbing.

CANADIANS REFUSE TO BACK UP
 HOOVER.

The Canadian Press which is the Canadian equivalent of American Associated Press dis cussing the waterfowl proclamation of President Hoover says the Canadian Government has not only done nothing to support the American Presi- dent but there has been general protest from ind- viduals and organizations throughout the Provinces against doing anything.
 Yet there many more reasons why Canada should have duck killing moratorium as there is for the United States to have one. So far as Alaska is concerned there is no reason in the world for the early closing ordered by the Presi- dent Next October and November they will prob- ably be shooting ducks geese, etc, on the British Columbia and Yukon side of the two- or three-thou sand-mile boundary line while Aaskans must put away their guns and wait another year for that sort of outdoor sport. We must presrve the ducks for our neighbors to kill.

Gloom in Texas.
Seattle Times.)


 Anguished Texans protesting vigorously against the order of Seymour bowman, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, closing the international bridges the Rio Grande at o'clock in the evening. Business men at Laredo, Brownsville, Eagle Pass zapata, Hidago, Roma and Mercedes are circulating petitions asking that the bridges be kept open twenty-four hours day. They assert the closing order hurts tourist business and puts a severe strain commercial and social relations between neighboring cities along the border. It is difficult from this distance to why MT. bowman should enforce curfew regulation at the gateway cities Possibly it has come to his ears that the Americans who crossed the bridges enjoying themselves, something which he believes should be sernly repressed According to his official view American citizen should laugh and be gay within hearing distance of American cities When he entered the Treasury Department four years ago. he was put in charge of Prohibition enforcement Although he has been relieved of that hard respon done
 The situation with reference to large centerS of population is not similar the northern border but it appears that law is administered somewhat better than the Rio Grande. Tourists can go and come from British Columbia at any hour of the day night. twenty-four hour service is maintained during the tourist season and through out the year when travel warrants it. There is no sound of gaiety close to the border to offend MT Lowman's sensitive else he would abate it.

THEIR OWN LEADERS TO BLAME.

membership and prestige of churches is due to a merciless campaign against them by the American press. Those churches that are losing membership and prestige are to blame for it themselves. If they would stay out of politics and away from other secular problems and serve the cause of the lowy Nazarene there would not be criticism by the newspapers. When church tries to run the country it opens the door for attack, particularly when it does not fight political battles fairly. Among the worst of the foes of churches are Dr. Clarence True Wilson, Dr. Daniel A. Polling, Bishop Cannon Bishop Lawrence, Dr. Mcbride and others like them who are more interested in practical politics than in the religion of Jesus Christ The American press would not be true to newspaper readers if it would lie down supnely and let the political preachers have unopposed dictatorship
 Churches could spare lot of divines and profit by the loss.

Euttuf Oh the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Christianity, which has revealed
Its power as a world religion, has
shown a great disregard OF boundar-
les and barriers. Hence it was mo-
mentous when Paul crossed from
Asia into Europe with the preaching
OF the Gospel.
AS Paul lay asleep there came the
vision OF a man OF Macedonia say
Ing. Come over into Macedonia and
help us" Paul was not the man 70
think twice about the meaning of
such q vision. The vision was for
him essentially a divine call.
Immediately therefore, he set sail
and came ultimately to Phillippi, the
chief city Of Macedonia. He began
his Missionary activity here, as he
had done at every other point, by
getting In touch with any devout
souls who might be in the CON-
munity. He found some meeting out
side the city gate by q riverside
where there was said TO be "a place
OF prayer"
1t would be interesting II we knew
q little more about this group who
came out by the river to pray. APP
80 Chilly tAAL4[ NEAE "a A4AAARGA "a
women who came together there,
or at any rate Paul's contact was
first Of all with women.
Among these women was Lydia,
described as "a seller of purple" in
the city OF Thyatira. Evidently she
was a woman Of some force of char
acter and ability, a type Of the bust
ness person who have not found full
satisfaction of their interests N
business. Her home became Pauls
headquarters We do not know a
great deal about her, but have
evidence Of the great part she played
in the spread of the Christian
church.
Is somewhat strange that Paul,
was quickly amendabie to
ch}{isge OF ideas and to surrendering
OF prejudices, did not have his pre-
JUDGES concerning the public partic-
ipation of women in church SER
vices changed when he saw the effect
OF the Gospel on women like Lydia.
We should say that Paul's defer
ence to social ideas aid customs q
his own time should have little 10
do with our determining the place
md function of women in the church
in u modern day. 1t Is interesting
to see how the extent to which
traditional Interpretation Of Paul's
words concerning women IN the
church persists in its effect upon the
church's practice. In some churches
and denominations the line of SEX
nal discrimination as regards preach
ing and all activity In the church
has become fairly we'll o~bliterated,
but In other communions women are
still definitely secluded from certain
functions.
Possibly one might lay some en-
phasis upon the unconventional ways
In which Christianity has had rs
growth and progress. It's growth and
spread are associated with the
temple and the synagogue. They are
associates, also. with the church
that met in somebody's house and
with groups meeting for prayer by
n riverside. Christianity has been
free from Journalism in its true de-
velopment. It has always taken TO
itself unconventional channels. The
conventionally minded and those
who have sought to limit Christian
ity by their authority have tried
always to drive It back into rigid
banks and channels. but the spirit of
Christianity cannot be curbed and
cannot be put only into certain
molds.
