and a well-known resident of Valdei,
is with us again, and is renewing ac
quaintance with his many friends on
Gastineau channel.
Mr. Baxter said he intended to stick

Mr. Baxter said there was consid

ily interested.—Juneau Dispatch.

REV. G. S. PRIGE
BIDS GOOD BYE
Farewell Sermon In Congregational
Church Last Night Filled Edi
fice To the Doors.
The Congregational church was fill
ed last night to hear the closing ser
mon of the ministry of the Rev. Char
les S. Price, who has been pastor ol
the church for the last eigfiteen
months. The large crowd that turn
ed out to hear the farewell address
was a sure indication of the esteem
in which Mr. Price is held in the
community. The text for the even
ing sermon was, "Be Thou faithful
unto death, and I will give thee a
crown of life.”
Mr. Price eloquently pleaded with
his congregation for the maintenance
of a high standard of Christian ex
perience and for the practical exem
plification of Christian principles in
every day life. In bidding them
good-bye he stated that he was very
sorry that the sickness of his wife
necessitated his departure from Val
dez, and that he had anticipated a
much longer stay in the community.
He stated that Valdez and its people
had won a place in his heart and
pleasant memories would be carried
wherever he went.
Mr. Price and family will leave on
the Alameda for Seattle from which
place Mrs. Price and the children will
go to Spokane and Mr. Price will
leave to seek a new church in Cali
fornia.
Mr. and Mrs. Price will carry with
them the respect and well wishes of
this community and we trust that
they will find a congenial climate and
community in which to work. Reso
lutions endorsing the ministry of the
Rev. Charles S. Price have been
passed by the board of trustees ot
the church.

NEW YORK, March 8—The trial

ford White, Was placed on trial here

Thousands of people lined the en
trance of the court house and cheer
ed the prisoner on his way to the
'trial.
Mrs. Thaw, the prisoner’s mother,
who is a guest of the Manhatten ho
tel during the trial, has issued a
statement in which she declares that.
District Attorney Jerome is persecut
ing her son because his was the first
homicide case in which Jerome failed
to secure a conviction.
Counsel of Thaw assert that the ex

self in forcing their client to trial for
conspiracy to escape from the asylum.
They asesrt that as Jerome still of
ficially regards Thaw as insane that
he cannot legally be tried for a breach
