DR. McQUEEN’S FAR WELL
SERMON
Dr, McQueen spoke both morning
and evening last Sunday at the Meth
odist church. The subject of the even
ing seimon was, “The Power of the
Gospel.” The text was Paul’s well
known statement found in his letter to
the Romans, and expressed in these
words; “1 am not ashamed of the gos
pel of Christ”
Dr. McQueen briefly but clearly
outlined the life of Paul while he was
still known as Saul of Tarsus and
called attention to some of the posi
tive elements in his character and his
*5 *
zealous espousal of the religious views
of the Pharisees, ready to go to any
*
extreme to suppress the ever growing
influence of Jesus of Naxareth, and
was even on his way to Damascus to
hale the followers of Christ before
the tribunal of the Jews, when there
appeared to him on the way a vision
accompanied by a voice of authority
that changed the whole course and
tenor of the life of Saul of Tarsus,
and henceforth he became Paul, h ser
vant of Jesus Christ and apostle to
the gentiles.
“Paul was not a man of the first
century only,” said Dr. McQueen, “he
was just such a man as is needed in
the twentieth century, a man of brains
and morale. He had th«* courage to
turn his back to many of the traditions
and influences of preceding centuries
and stand forth a manly man declar
ing before all the world that he was
not ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
Such a man as Paul is needed as chief
officer in our municipalities and A
the halls, of legislature . a man who
has a clear vision* of truth and righte
ousness and the moral stamina tv
stand up for it in tip* face of all op
position. and thus leave a clear recorn
behind him for an incentive and in
spiration to those who follow.
“There are all sorts of isims and
makeshifts, including the much dis
cussed league of Nations and prohib
ition. purporting to be the panacea tot
fell the evils in the world, but in spite
of all these we shall go on muddling
tk rough until we grasp the fact that
the teaching of Jesus is the only rem
edy for the evil and unrest in the
world, and prove by our lives and acts,
as did Paul, that we are not ashamed
of the gospel of Christ.”

SKWARD IURTiKKMKE PROOF
Prof. Collier Cobb, the geologist,
seems to have visited our fair town
without introducing himself. We learn
this from the Seattle P. 1. which says
that the Prof, has just returned to
Seattle from an investigation of Al
aska’s shore-line as far west us Sew
ard. We are sorry we did not meet
him, as he did not “knock", but rather
gave us a mild boost. He says that
Puget Sound and Alaska are the new
est geological formations in the world,
and that where-cver a city is built on
a deep glacial fill there is no chance
of a severe earthquake. In Seattle’s
front yard the Prof, found glacial
drift 900 feet deep, which acted as a
sort of shock absorber, preventing the
‘rock tremors from reaching the sur
face structures. Of course for u build
ing like the L. C. Smith in Seattle, it

FISHERMEN MI ST
PAY ALASKA TAX
SAX FRAXCISCO, (By Mail)
The right of the territorial govern
ment of Alaska to impose a poii lax,
•
on the crews of ships visiting fishing
waters within its confines was upheld
ay the United States circuit court heae
recently in the case of John Hednes
<oy, a fisheiiman of the Alaska Pack
jn»’ Association, who sued for the re
turn of the tax in th$ name of a score
or more of his shipmates.
Collection of the tax through the
men’s employers was disapproved,
however.
According to the evidence, the ter- ■
ritorial government demanded $;"> tr m i
each of the fishermen. The packer^ I
association by whom .they were em-!
ployed, paid the tax and later deduct-!
ed it from the wages of these employ
es. The men sued for the return of!

Seattle Nov., 2— There was an in
crease in exports from Alaska of more
than $2,000,000 in September over the
same month of 1919, according to fig
ures received by the Bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce. Ac
cording to figures from John W. Troy,
U. S. collector of customs at Juneau,
Alaska’s total exports for September
amounted to $14,312,765 an increase of
£6,050,027 over August of this year.
Copper is the only commodity which
showed a material decrease from the
shipments made in September of last
year and one explanation for this is
the demand for copper as sales
are being made in the eastern market
around 17 cents, and during the war,
the government price of copper was 26
cents.

Canned salmon led in all exports
in September, with a value of $12,677
