The Right Rev. Peter Trimble
Rowe, D.D., Bishop of Alaska, is a

On Sunday morning at the 11
o’clock service the bishop will cele
brate the Holy Communion and
preach. In the evening at 8 o’clock
a public meeting {will be held at
Eagle hall, when the bishop will de
liver an address. A cordial invita
tion is extended to all.
During his twenty years as Bishop
■of Alaska Bishow Rowe has mush
ed all over this frontier and many
bid-timers met him in early days at
different points and on all kinds of
trails. During his trials and illness
of the past two years he has had
the sympathy of Alaska, and Valdez
will give him a warm reception to
morrow night. Everybody is invited.
FRANCE WILL CARE
FOR THE REFUGEES
Government Has Appropriated $60,
000,000 To Care for Sufferers
of War Zone.
PARIS, Feb. 6.—The government
has appropriated $60,000,000 to care
for citizens who have been rendered
destitute through saving been driv
en from their homes by the German
invasion.
It is estimated that nearly seven
million citizens of northern France,
which is now the battle ground of
the western zone, are subsisting on
charity in other parts of the country.
In addition to the French which have
been rendered destitute there are
hundreds of thousands of refugees
from Belgium which must be provid
ed for.
Efforts are being made by the gov
ernment to find employment for men
who are unfit for military service,
as well as the women who were em
ployed In factories which are now
idle. Thousands of men were em
ployed in building fortifications near
Paris, but this work has been com
pleted and the capital is overrun by
starving men, women and children.

GOING AFTER THE
TOURIST BUSINESS
Steamship Companies Will Run Boats
Direct To Nome From San
Francisco.
SEATTLE, Feb. 6.—The Alaska
Steamship company and the Pacific
Coast Steamship company have in
augurated aggressive advertising
campaigns to secure the big tourist
trade which is promised during tha
coming summer. Transcontinental
railroads report that an enormous
number of eastern people who form
erly spent the summers in Europe,
but cannot do so now owing to the
war, will visit the San Francisco and
San Diego fairs, and that a large per
centage of them will also make the
trip to Alaska.
Both steamship companies are ad
vertising that passenger steamers will
be sent direct to Nome from San
Francisco, returning along the coast
and inside passage. There are hun
dreds of Alaskans now in the states
who will visit the California fairs
before going north and many of them
are making arrangements to go via
the direct route to Nome.
