A collection was taken up for the Presbyterian missionary board to help extend the gospel of Alaska.

He showed tbe resources of Alaska to be far superior to those generally understood of it. He described the natives of Alaska, tbe peculiar superstitions of their religion, the progress of Christianity, the hospitality of the natives, and spoke of the growing value of the reindeers since the government appropriation to stock them from Siberia. He described something of the wealth of the country in its fisheries and mines. He exhibited to the audience an eagle-down robe, a reindeer coat and models of the large canoe used in whaling and seal hunting. Everybody was pleased. Rev. S. 11.

The Street Commissioner is., putting the streets in good condition—the alley* will receive the same attention—so that our city will be in good condition so far as the streets and alleys are concerned,'’ but a large number of tbe out-building» need more care and attention than the 1 streets and alleys.
