Whitney, had sought to take | unwarranted libertles with her and she de- clared to some of the flock that on one oo- easion when she visited the church alone the pastor had actualiy Kissed' her. The story has caused considerable of a flut- ter in local cotored circles and an investi- gatlon has been called by the pastor himself. who declares that there is noth- ingJn the statements of the young woman further than he touched her on the shoulder in a fatherly fashion. It ap- pears that Miss Robertson has recanted all that she had said. with the exdeption of the statement tkat she received a pas- toral Kiss. Rev. Mr. Whitney makes the following statement concerning the affair: Some time axo my wife and I were discuss- ing the matter of arranging for an Easter | celebration, and In going over the material at our command we found that we did not have a sufficient number of Young Women to success- fully carry out the programme we had under consideration.

Great trouble has been ex- perienced with dog thieves, and dogs in Alaska represent the same value to the owners as horses do in the States. The chances are that dog thieves will be treat- ed the same as horse thieves were treated In the early days on the frontier; that is, when caught they will be hanged with- out parley.
