A. P. Kashevaroff said, and I am glad I was able to spend a week with him. I shall have that to remember.” Because Sitka had been two | months without a priest, the Rev. A. P. Kashevaroff was kept busy Wwith baptisms, church sermons, and one marriage—that of Thomas Young, Indian, to Charlotte Little- tield, also Indian. The bride was de- scribed by Kashevaroff as ‘the most trikingly beautiful bride I have ever seen.” Two services were held by the Rev. Kashevaroff, one on Sunday and an- other on Thanksgiving Day, and fourteen members were added to the Sitka Temperance Society by his en- devaor. He also addressed the school- children on the “History of Sitka.” S - OFFICIALS GOING SOUTH Several White Pass and Yukon Railway employees boarded the Yu- kon at Skagway for Seattle, includ- ing W.
