this community. All public spirited cit
izens are earnestly requested to attend

already given material evidence ol
their ijtt rest and good-will by gener
ously contributing to the funds in
part raistd.
Advices received from Mr. H. I) Key
Holds from Seattle this morning are
very reassuring, and are to the eilcct
that grand progress is lieing made in
connection with all matters pertain
ing t > the Home Railway. The busi
ness element of Seattle are subscrib
ing splendidly, and Mr Reynolds
states that he is meeting with no op
position. uor anything in trie slightest
degree of a discouraging nature, but
on the other hand is receiving all the
encouragement which he could desire.
He states that the Santa Barbara will
be fully repaired, and reloaded, and
will sail Wednesday, witba heavy load
of railroad supplies. In addition the
Alaska Coast Company has chartered
the 1900 ton sailing ship Glory of the
Seas, and she will be fully loaded with j
ra'droad supplies. and will saii just as j
quickly as possible, for this port. Ad
ditional rai.road material is arriving]
at Seattle from the East very rapidly,'
having been much hastened through
the influence ofthe Chicago office ot !
the Reynolds Alaska Development j
C in pa i y. Tonight the Seattle Com j
iiiercial Club will entertain Mr. Rev- ;
Holds and will formally endorse tli
Home Railway project, and to- ]
nionow the Chamber of Commerce1
will meet for the same purpose, Mr. ]
R< j uulds also having beeu invited to]
address the meurbers of that organiza- ]
tiou.

A correspondent from Katalla to one '
of the Seattle papers stated not long j
ago that there was no clergyman as
yet at that place, adding that it was
commonly agreed it would be better
for the peace and well being of the
community if this should continue to
be the case. Much at variance with such
a startling presentment of the public
sentiment there prevailing, was Father
Turneli’s experience, the local Catholic
missionary in charge of this part of the ■
territory. He reports that he never
i
yet met, with a warmer reception than j
wa~ .given’him on his first visit there |
two weeks ago. notably on the part of
representative noa-catholic citzeus.
They provided him with a temporary
place of worship and turned out in
large numbers. Credit for this is due
largely to the kind offices of Mr. Clark
Davis, a former Methodist minister.
A centrally located building site has
been donated for the church by Messrs.
Davis and Rogers the touusite owners.
Lots for t Sister’s Hospital and Acad
eme.v will also be forthcoming when
required. All honor to their generous
and liberal spirit.
