M K. Kooace. Missionary
Change Probable
at St. Andrew's
For some time past rumors have
circulated that a change was ex
pected at St. Andrew’s Mission.
Spoken to today regarding the
matter, Mr. G. W. Chilson, layman
j in charge, said that some time ago
j he had tendered his resignation to
the bishop, and that in all proba
bility it will be accepted. Word
from the bishop bearing on the
matter is expected at ar.y time.
Mr. Chilson is a young man of
recognized ability; but under his
ministration there has been a lack
of harmony among church people
here, and it is doubtless this fact
that has influenced him to offer his
resignation.
Some time ago it was talked that
Rev. J. E. Huhn, now of Fair
banks, was desirous of returning to
St. Andrew’s in case of a vacancy
here; but of course nothing is defi
nitely known yet—not even that
Mr. Chilson will not remain.

E. Becker, foreman of the Big
^Minook hydraulic works, was acci
dentally hurt last week. A ditch
was being constructed parallel with
the creek at a point where the creek
br.nk is high. Mr. Becker went to
the creek unknown to the work
men, and a piece of frozen muck
cast over the bank struck him on
: the head and Laid his scalp open.
The force of the blow almost sent
him into the water. which would
have drowned him. for it was both
swift and deep. Mr Becker scram
bled up the bank and his appear
ance all covered with blood was
the first intimation that anything
was wrong. Manager K>>»ncetook
a lew stitches in the wound with a
sailmaker's needle and a fishing
snelt, and Mr Becker was soon all
right again
