CHURCH BUILDER
VISITING HERE
WAY WRANGELL
[
; M. J. Nicholson, in charge of j
construction for the Protestant
Episcopal Missions in Alaska, un
der the direction of Bishop Peter
Trimble Rowe, is a visitor in Sew
ard awaiting steamer connections j
for Wrangell. I
Mr. Nicholson was last in Sew
ard about 18 months ago. Since
that time he has remodelled the
church and rectory at Anchorage,
at a cost of around $7,000. From
1 Anchorage he went to Fort Yukon
where he installed a heating
plant at the Hudson-Struck hospi- i
tal. In addition to the heating unit j
there he built a girl’s dormitory |
las an addition to the church’s mis- I
sion.
The Protestant-Episcopal church
maintains 17 active missions in
! Alaska and Mr. Nicholson has
[charge of the cdnstruction, re
! modeling and maintenance work
| at all these missions. His tasks
take him from one part of the
Territory to another and he must j
always be on the move. His work j
at Fort Yukon was not completed,
at this time, he said, but he will
[be able to return next year and
'complete the job. Mr. Nicholson !
'is going to Wrangell to do some j
repair work on the church and in- j
stall a heating plant there. From j
I Wrangell he will go to Sitka and]
make some necessary repairs to [
the ishop’s home and the church. ,
Mr. Nicholson has been with the ;
^Protestant-Episcopal church in his !
present capacity for 10 years and
has been in Alaska for over 35 ;
years.
I He stated that the depression to
residents of Fort Yukon is just
talk and the illness of the rest of
the world. They have a stable po
pulation there and their chief
isource of livelihood is furs. Re
cent fur price rises gave Fort Yu
koners much, cause for rejoicing as1
it meant extra money for food and
provisions.
Beryl A. Henney. of South Bako- j
ta. who will become a member of
the Seward high school teaching <
faculty, arrived in Seward on the :
SS. Yukon today.
Marty Skinner, local youth, who
has been in Anchorage all Summer ;
is now working in the D & D
Cafe at Anchorage, according to
I local arrivals.
