WINTER MAIL SERVICE
IS TO BE IMPROVED
John Brower, owner of the ‘Brower
stage line and winter mail contractor,
is now engaged in enlarging his outfit
and getting all equipment necessary
for handling not only all the mail he
can get but all the feright business
that he can secure during the coming
season.
He is putting in new auto trucks
and new stock and stage equipment.
Whenever and wherever it is possible
to operate his motor truck he will do
so, and when the trail is too heavy for
this kind of traffic he will have the
stock and equipment to carry on the
business. ,
Last winter, he stated, he was han
dicapped by not having enough stock
and cars to take care of the traffic.
Next season this will not be the case.
The Brower line will operate be
tween Fairbanks and Chitina all sum
mer, carrying both feright and pas
sengers.
The trail is reported to be in fair
shape with the exception of over the
summit, where glaciers are making
through auto traffic out of the ques
tion. One big glacier hetween Miller’s
and Yost's, stated Mr. Brower, is
likely to be impassable for cars for
possibly three weeks longer. Snow on
the coast summit is also reported to
be extremely heavy, and traffic over
there will hardly be opened uhtil the
middle of July.

BIG METHODIST I
CFLEBRATION
IN COLUMBUS
COLUMBUS, O., June 18 (by Asso
ciated Press).—A choir of 100 trom
bones, said to be the largest ever or
ganized, will be a feature of the Metho
dist Centenary Celebration here July
10 to July 13 which will mark the
close of 100 years of missionary work
by the Methodist Episcopal church.
Alto and tenor were the principal
trombones used by the choir which
has been rehearsing for weeks. ■ To
give the complete voicing necessary,
soprano and bass trombones had to be
produced in large numbers and those
accustomed to playing the mere trom
bones had to acquire a new technique.
The soprano trombone, in particular,
has not been used in concert in more
than 100 years, according to H. B.
Dickson, organizing secretary.
Special scores had to be prepared
for the simplest church hymns and
for the greatest choruses of sacred and
semi-sacred music. Besides the trom
bone choir, there will be a $50,000 pipe
organ, a mixed chorus of 1,500 voices,
a chorus of 600 negro singers, a group
of trained oratorio singers and a band
from the famous Rainbow division.
Public building and private homes
will be used to accommodate the 200,
000 to 300,000 visitors expected at the
celebration which, directors say, will
be the biggest church meeting ever
held. The state school for the blind,
the state school for the deaf and the
former barracks on the Ohio state
university campus will be used to
house the delegates. Forty thousand
rooms in private homes also have
been listed.
Hundreds of delegates will eat their
meals in former saloons which went
out of business when Ohio became dry
May 27 and which have been con
verted into restaurants to accommo
date the visitors.
Automobile caravans will bring the
delegations from Council Bluffs, la.,
Springfield, 111., Pittsburg, Texas,
South Dakota, Virginia and other far
ayvay points. The celebration will take
the form of a big missionary ex
hibition.
