"AND so IT CAME TO PASS. ,"

It seems that Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma ,who in company with Senators Frazier of North Dakota and Shpsead of Minnesota visited Alaska this past summer for the purpose of Investigating conditions among the natives for the Office of Indian Affairs has at last made the semblance of a report spending government money for junket tour of the territory
 The only fly in the ointment seems to be that he is reporting on separate and altogether out-ofne" project, with which he did not even have time to thor oughly look into.
 Here is Senator Thomas giving us first hand re- port on the Matanuska project and how is complete flop. Why is it we don't hear him reporting what his investigation disclosed concerning the native sit uaon in the terrtorythe real purpose of his trip?
 How was Senator Thomas able to issue such damn ing report on the agricultural experiment going on at Palmer, when he stopped there only for short time about long as he stayed in Nome? His visit to Nome where native controversies have existed for numbers of years, short that person had fly to Tel Ter to do more testifying of course his hook
 If he stayed in Palmer as long as he did at Nome his investigation concerning natives, based his report on Matanuska, should be in the same category.
 We heard him say that federal officials really wish ed to gain authentic and reliable information and facts concerning this country and yet, Senator Thomas com- es out with statement that the Maanuska affair is completely devoid of any benefit except to show 'once and for all that Alaska is unsuitable for large scale colonization"
 And so it to pass, that Senator Thomass of fair mindness and justice in his Investigation appears to be nothing than SteaP designed to mSlead the people or AlaSka who, when It comes right down to it, working not from any selfish point of view, but to develop Americas richest wonderland, and home of huge wealth and possibilities to the Un- ited States
 In one breath he damns an experiment. designed to help develop this country to point where it be entirely self supporting and at the time lets fly at the whole country If this is the type of invesgat which is to be sent to Alaska to learn about the country, wish the government would keep them at home, and we'll send our own men back to Washing teach the Alaska from fair-ninded and conscientious view point.

It passed the House with slight
amendments on April 80; was re-
turned to the Senate and again passed
the same day; was duly approved by
the President; and thus came into be-
ing Gonzaga College-no longer the
Washington Seminary.
But although this doubtless was a
very good law" as the college history
states, like other law points. it was
too delicate for popular comprehen-
sion, and not even the elaborate char
ter, with the Presidents signature
attached, nor the yearly catalogue,
with the new title on the cover and
first page, could do away with the
word Seminary to which the epithet
old was appended, no doubt as term
Of endearment, and so, the Old Semi
nary 1t was called until literally it
had ceased to exist, swept away in
the wild rush for statelier and more
majestic structures in the fairest part
Of the fair city of Washington"
It might well be said here that the
generous spirit shown by Ambrose
Lynch was no doubt partly due to the
fact that his son, Rev. Daniel Lynch,
S. j., was for long time connected
with Gonzaga College.
nURING the Civil War, many of the
churches Of Washington were
used for army hospitals, especially
when the Government could not other
wise find sufficient accommodations
for the sick and wounded. Naturally,
the time soon came when st. Aloysius
Church could not longer be made an
exception, and so. on September 9.
1852, when the manned and injured
began to arrive from the Bull Run
battlefield, and the hospital situation
in Washington was actually critical,
the dreaded demand for the church
was made. Rev. Bernard r. Wiget,
s. j., was then in charge of st.
Aloysius Church as well as Gonzaga

the same day a deed was given by
Mr.. Lynch to the trustees of st. JOS
eph's Orphan Asylum, for the adjoin-
ing quarter west, minus 20 feet for
an alley between that part and the
college portion. The building Of the
church was soon commenced, and
within two years it was under roof,
and in October, 1859. the edifice known
as st. Aloysius Church was dedicated.
After the restoration of the semi
nary in l848, the fathers determined
to obtain recognition from Congress,
and it was on May 4, 1858, that their
efforts were crowned with success. A
bill was first introduced in the Senate

equal to the occasion, for he offered
to build a hospital for the Govern
ment, If the beautiful new church
could be spared.
On the following day, the record
states. this proposition was made and
accepted. 1t Is added:
"The plan was made for three
buildings, each "a feet wide and 200
feet long, the keys to be delivered in
eight days. The Government agreed
to supply as much lumber as would
have been necessary to floor the
church, but should battles be fought
and wounded brought in during these
eight days, then the church would
have to be used. On the eleventh.

this time. President Lincoln soon ap-

with an annual salary of $1,000, and
as further compliment to him. named
the hospital for the church over which
he presided.
Not long since, the writer called
upon the Rev. Philip J. Clarke, S. j.,
headmaster Of what is now Gonzaga
High School, and through his courtesy
he was permitted to look over the early
records Of this foremost institution.
Among the students of the old college
he noted many names well known in
Washington in bygone days. OF course,
many have long since passed away,
but their names are still known to
those familiar with local history, and
the more recent graduates will be
quickly recognized.
