People of Seward, it will not be
long before will have the opportunity
lo capitalize our resources and the
scenic resources of the kenai Penin
sula. The wagon road from Seward to
kenai will be completed in the very
near future and when it is the best big
game country *n the big North West
will be opencil to the hunter of big
game. This country without a question
of doubt is the most wonderful para
dise for big game hunters in Alaska.
Next season when the tourist and the
hunter and the stranger come to Sew
ard let's be in a position to say to the
them, “You can now plan for more
than a few days stay in Seward. You
can stay in Seward and the vicinity
or a couple of weeks, in the first
place wouldn't you like to see the big ■
glaciers and the splendid canyons
along the light of way of the new wa
gon road. We can fix you up so that
you can travel by a fine road, in aj
line automobile, driven by a man who j
knows the country through which you |
will travel. You will find up- to-the-!
minute road houses along the route ol j
travel that will supply you^ith every
comfort. Y’ou can return to Seward the
next day if you so wish or you can
come back the same day. Then we will
arrange to have you go by auto to
keiiai Lake, the beautrful lake you
saw when you were riding on the
Gateway Flier betwe«w Seward and
Anchorage. You’ll find first class ac
commodations at the lake, good meals
and comfortable beds. You will want
.-fc • • •
to fish and to at least climb one of
the hills in quest of the ptarmigan!
which are so plentiful in that region.
Next morning our auto will pick you
up and take you on through to Rus
sian River which is flanked by moun
tains and trees. You’ll find a good
road house there and some real moose
hunting. After bagging your moose
you van continue on to the town of
Kcnai, see the canneries and the fish
ing boats, the gardens along the way
and everything else that tends to.
■take this the most picturesque coun
try m the world.
Rig game, moose, goats, sheep and
biown and black bear, glaceries and
purple canyons, sparkling water and
fresh air and all this by auto from the
Terminal City and the Gateway of one
erf the richest and largest territories
in Alaska. Not yet but soon these
things will be facts. So let's prepare
for it now. j

India is planning a big program of
airplane construction, and there is ev
ery indication that Alaskan spruce
lumber will be used in this work.
A letter received states Alaskan
timber is recommended.
A wood pulp plant, the first unit of
which means an investment of $3,008,
080 and will give employment to 08O
men, is one of the industries that will
be established on Prince William
sound next season by parties already
extensively interested in the Territory.
George C. Hazelet has just returned
from Galena bay where he had En
gineer Hesse and a crew of men sur
vey a water sight which he has filed j
ontn for water power purposes in the
manufacture of wood pulp.
A WORTHY CAIJSK
%
A movement which will arouse na
tion-wide interest as well as in Alaska
lias been inaugurated to observe on
November oOth the 25th anniversary
of the mis: ionary episcopate of the
Kt Rev. 1*. T. Rowe, 1). 1)., Bishop ti
Alaska, and as a fitting thanksgiving
and memorial for his bishopric and a
,‘stimon-al of the admiration and love*
in which he is held by the rank ard
tile ot the Church as well as countless
friends everywhere, to establish “The
Bishop Rowe Foundation Fund” of
$100,000, the annual income from
which will go to some* special object in
the missionary vnoik in Alaska which
tile Bishop has established.
The suggestion has met with en
thusiasm and the heartiest respons
and will appeal to not only members
of the Church to which Bishop Rowe
belongs, but to many others in the
•States and in Alaska who know of the
Bishop s part in the development of
Alaska.
SKETCH OF BISHOP ROWE
Peter Trimble Rowe was born in
Meadowvale, Ontario, Canada, and is
a graduate of the University of To
ronto. From 1878 to 1882 he had
charge of the missionary work among
tlie Indians and white people along
the shores oi Lake Huron, centering
at Garden River, and from 1882 lo
i8Jh» in the Soo country, Northern
Michigan. Few men had training in
their earlier ministry which so thor
oughly fitted them for their life-wortc.
In l8if:j, when the Church determined
to seud a bishop to Alaska, he was
called to be the fiirst bishop to that*
great country. * »
Bishop Rowe began his work in
Alaska with the same practical d«'-*
• otion that jpid marked ail his iorm,,f
ministry— a continuous ministry now
of twenty-five years in Alaska, of the
most strenuoust devotion which h;u
made him known as the friend of ev
ery man — white, Indian, or Eskimo—'
and the best known and best beloved ;
citizen of Alaska. ;
In the dangers of the Arctic winter!
he has regularly gone on marches of:
a thousand or even two thousand miles
before there were any steamboat lines
or railroads or many trails— journeys ;
involving snowshoe trips which exper
ienced men had thought impossible,’
building his own boat and shooting;
the rapids; and, as the strikes of gold
caused a rush of whiie miners here !
ami there— at Fairbanks, Nome, Cd^-;
dova, or elswhere— he has not delay- j
ed. The Church has been there as soon I
as the saloon, sometimes getting thero j
first, erecting hospitals, schools, club- j
rooms, and churches; placing nurses, >
teachers, and missionaries in charge;!
himself an expert with hammer and’
saw, or seeking out he lonely prospect
or, tlie sick and distressed, or follow
ing up the Church’s children who have
emigrated from every state in the
union and from many parts of the
.A
world.
Among Indians and Eskimos, also
the Bishop’s name is a household
word; and they rejoice at the news
passed along that he is on his way for
a visit with them— their friend and
Father- in- God.
One touching letter comes from an
isolated point in the interior: “When
you come to -> place you make
big church and help all people get
straight in God way. I wait here for
you all summer.
“You come here then all this coun
try* you make light, and then I be glad.
All children and every one want t«>
see you.
“Sure you make light this counv *y
if you come, and if you no ccine every
one be too much sorry.
. “You help me. Your friend,

\ I NIOI E MEMORI VL
. The National Committee in its cir
cular says:
. ‘‘It is presumed that the whole
Church would like to celebrate this !
ev(*nt in some substantial way. In tin
case of a long and active service such
as Bishop Rowe’s, we can easily ima
gine that his many admirers anc
friends will wish to have part in thir
commemoration.
“It has been customary, in many
instances, to wait until the great sol
diers and servants of the Cross have
laid down their arms and entered into ;
their rest before their work has been
acknowldged by some memorial to j
them; but it is proposed, in the case j
of Bishop Rowe, that some adequate
commemoration of this anniversary ,
take place while he is here and able to
enjoy the knowledge that his effort- j
have been appreciated.”
MASS MEETING AND SERVICE
It is intended that during this yeai |
the* fund will be raised and presented.
Appropriate services and addresses
will be made at Juneau and in other
places.
Those i\vho may not *be reached by
the Seward committee but who desire
to have a part in the testimonal of ap-.
predation and friendship, may com
municate with the Rt. Rev. YV. T.

CHEYENE, Wyo., Oct., 25— Work
men blasting for lime rock recently
uncovered a beautiful cave eighteen
and one half miles west of Cheyenne,
according to reports received here.
The cave’s roof walls and floor
glitter brilliantly in the light. The
workmen crawled through a ten-font
opening and came upon a passage 100
feet long. At the end of the passage
they found a chamber, 70 by 30 fpot

The Doughnut Brigade gathers ev- j
ery morning at the bakery and during
the gatherings as the mem6ers get on
the outside of four luscious doughnuts
and a cup of real coffee, you can hear
various subjects discussed and argued.
The merits of the Democratic Party,
the wonders of the G. 0. P., the er
rors of each party, the future of the
town, the possibility of oil being <
found, the weather and a myriad oth- i
er subjects. The pessimist and the j
optomist mb shoulders, the booster '
and the knocker sit at the same tables !
with the stranger and the old timer
and the baker in the rear chuckles as '
he listens and continues to fry more >

You will find that the two bits is well

EIGHTY FOXES SHIPPED
FROM ALASKA TO STATES

shipment of 80 foxes on her last voy
age southbound. The foxes were in
20 cages, and were insured for a small
fortune. They were from the Hercules
fox farm on Sockeye sland near Pet
ersburg, and were being shipped by
J. S. Chastek, the owner, to Glnncoe,
Minnesota, where he has another fox
ranch. There were several silver foxes
in the lot, but the shipment consisted
chiefly of blue foxes. ^
