 OFFER REFUSED. BY A. M. & p. O..
Million Dollar Offer for Perseverance and Thane
 Holdings Rejected

The Alaska-Juneau's million-dol lar offer for the Thane- -Persever- ance properties of the Alaska Min ing and & Power Company was turned down by the stockholders of the latter corporation at a meeting held in New York City last week, 1t was revealed here today by L.. H. Metzgar, General Superintendent of the Alaska Juneau.
 The rejection came as surprise to local interests who are familiar with the situation and had expect ed the tender to be accepted. Whether the offer was regarded as too low, or if the present owners Of the old Alaska Gastineau hold ings have other plans in mind was not known here.
 The Alaska Juneau offered to exchange it's own stock, at the rate of two shares for one of the Alaska Mining & Power Company for it's properties at Thane, Perseverance. power plants and developed sites, transmission lines and other build ings Had the deal gone through, 1t would have taken 53.802 shares or Alaska Juneau to pay for the properties. At current market quo- tations this would have been in ex- cess of $1 100000.
 MT. Metzgar, in disclosing that the proposal had been turned down. said he was uniformed as to the cause. No further negotiations, it IS understood, are likely to be start ed at this time.

What Is The Value OF A Vacation
Church School?

The vacation church school serves
five purposes: 1t furnishes to the
community children means of
keeping idle hands from evil, and
enjoying interesting occupation. 1t
is a training school in craft work,
provides Bible knowledge and de-
velops cooperative Christian atti-
tude. 1t is source of comfort to
parents, to know their children are
SO ably taken care of in the sum-
mer months, and they are proud OF
their achievements. A staff Of
teachers is developed among the
younger students aiding in the va
cation school, and they can be used
in the church school later. The va
cation church school brings into the
regular Sunday school children who
probably could not be reached 9TH
erwise. 1t has opened the door Of
many non-church homes to the pas
tor and thus to the church. This
brings personal contacts in sickness,
death. weddings, baptisms, all Of
which present opportunities to ce-
ment friendships for the church.
