SEATTLE .May 10? A belated (lis
patch from Ashville. North Carolina,
conveys the news that Or. Sheldon
J; okson. founder of the Presbyterian
missionary organization in Alaska,
died at that city a few days ago from
inability, due to his advanced age.
to resist a slight ailment. Dr. .lack
son expired within sixteen days of his
seventy-fift h birthday.
I>r. Sheldon Jackson, previous to
the past five years, was fur a period
of nearly twenty years one of the
most potent factors in the affairs of
Alaska. Coming into the district with
the backing of the Presbyterian
Hoard of Homo Missions lio displayed
successful energy in establishing mis
sionary stations throughout Alaska bi C
especially along the coast which grad
ually became conceded as the pecu
liar field of his denomination. His un
tiring labors placed him liifch in the
councils of his church and he grew a
p?.wer at Washington where he be
c? m?> the arbiter of all matters con
nected with the natives of, or edu
cation in Alaska. Governor Brady's
long tenure of office was primarily
due to Or. Jackson's influence and i
was by his recommendation and under
his supervision that the Interior Dt-j
partinent introduced the large herd .
of Siberian reindeer into the district.
