THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, Bishop Crimont |s Honored, Spokane's Gonzaga University SPOKANE — The new women's residence hall at Gonzaga univer- sity, the first in the unnemty: 64 year history, has besn officially | named Crimont hall announces the Very Rev. Francis Corkery, S.J. university president. d The hall is named for Bishop Joseph Raphael Crimont, S.J., D.D.,’ first Jesuit bishop of Alaska, and former president of Gonzaga uni-| versity. The residence hall is a spacious four story home at E526 Sinto, pur- chased by the university and just opened this fall. Some 35 out of town coeds are residing there. Mrs.| | Edna Mulligan is the housmother. The late Bishop Crimont was a well known figure in Spokane and the entire northwest and Alaska. He was born in 1858 in Ferrieres near Amiens in northern France. ‘When the Rev. Joseph Cataldo, S.J., one of the pioneers of the west, went to Europe in the 1880’s to re- cruit missionaries to the United States, Bishop Crimont, then a scho- | lastic in the Jesuit order, answered Father Cataldo’s call. He came to the United States in 1886 as a mis- sionary to the Crow Indians in Montana. He was ordained in 1888 and be- came a naturalized citizen in 1893. The following year, 1894, he went to Alaska where he became superior of the Holy Cross mission in the Yukon. In 1901 he became presi- dent of Gonzaga university. During his years as the university president he greeted President The- odore Rosevelt during his visit to Spokane and Gonzaga university. Bishop Crimont was named pre- fect apostolic of the Catholic Alaska mission in 1904 and in 1917 bccame: the first Bishop of Alaska. He was Bishop during both world war T and II and saw the dog sled travel change to airplane travel. He was instrumental also in the canoniza- tion of Mother Cabrini. In 1942 he celebrated his 25th anniversary as Bishop at the age of 84 and is listed as the oldest Bishop in point of years in the| American heirarchy. “ He died May 20, 1945, and is| buried at the Little Flower of | Terese shrine in Juneau. The shrine was built under his leader-| ship as Bishop by Rev. William! LeVasseur, SJ., who recently re-| turned from Alaska and is now supervisor of the Nez Perce Indian mission and St. Joseph’s children’s home in Culdesac, Idaho. Communicafion Editor, Daily Alaska Empire. Dear Sir: In your paper of October 31 under; the heading: New Federal Tax on| Liquor, Nov. 1st, quote: “An example; beer will be taxed an additional $1.00 a barrel, broken | down, this amounts to one third of | a cent a pint. Since this is less| than a cent, no increase is allowed, | but when three or more pints are sold at once, an additional cent may be charged to cover the new tax, OP.S. explained.” It isn’t clear however whether one cent per pint or for three pints may be charged by the dealer. I gather that liquor dealers have at- tended meetings with O.P.S. om— cials and I grant that the average | dealer is an intelligent persor who would fully understand what the new tax means. Whether intelli- gence is below par, or dealers are after some extra cash, I can’t say,| but my recent experience proved that songething is wrong some- | place. Purchase of two pints of Bud-{ weiser beer at the liquor store nor- mally would amount to fifty cents plus 1 cegt city tax; it cost me fifty-five cents plus 1 cent city tax. In other words, 2% cents have been Jjacked up by dealers and new regu- latipn is that no raise is called for. Drinking at bars is altogether getting prohiivive. An 11 ounce can of beer, better known as a rooster, normally sold at twenty- five cents is now thirty cents. It’s a boost of five cents on a short beer. Some places, pints of beer went up as high as ten cents per pint. I haven't tasted hard liquor, - but one can well imagine what the price would be. Cigarettes went up five cents a pack at the bars and if 'm not mistaken, the tax boost was one dollar per thousand. Now I wonder what that meeting between those two factions amounted to. Are liquor dealers getting the best of the O.P.S. or is it that O.P.S. is too slack, or am I interpreting it all wrong? Most, of us like a drink of this or thaf and I don’t begrudge a law- ful profit, but in this case, the way I see it, someone is off the beam un- less the new tax is explained more clearly, and enforced, the general public will be fléeced as usual.
