BISHOP ROWE WILL
BE HERE THIS MONTH
Rev. E. P. Ziegler has received a
telegram from Bishop Rowe, saying
that the bishop will leave Seattle on
the eighth of this month for south
western Alaska ports. He will spend
a week in Cordova, during which he
will hold confirmation services. An
endowment fund of $100,000 is being
raised among the Frotestan. Episcopal
churches of the states and Alaska, to
be used for the furthering of Alaskan
mission work. This fund is being
raised in celebration of the twenty
fifth aniversary of Bishop Rowe's epis
copate in the great Territory.
Perhaps no one holds a more prom
inent place in Alaskan history than ij
this great explorer, author, and mis
sionary. Mrs. Ella Higginson pays
high tribute to him in her book on
Alaska, and the story of the bishop's
proxy-swearing is a classic throughout
the North.
The story is wcl-worn, but may
bear telling again, borrowed from
Harry Leon Wilson’s “Somewhere in
Red Gap.”
“And Jake Berger got real gabby at
last and told the story about the old
inusher going up the White Horse
trail in a blizzard and meeting the
Bishop, only he didn’t know it was
the Bishop. And the Bishop says,
“How’s the trail back of you, my
friend?” And the old musher, swore
with the utmost profanity for three
straight minutes. Then he says to
the Bishop, “and what’s it like back
of you?” and the Bishop says, “Just
like that!”
