BISHOP ROWE TOURING
INTERIOR ALASKA FOR
TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR
The Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe,
D. D., consecrated as bishop of Alaska
in 1895, is on his way to Dawson, en
route for his visit through the in
terior. The bishop will find Arch
deacon Stuck waiting for him at Fort
Yukon, with the launch “Pellican,” and
the two will thread the Yukon country
this summer, visiting especially the
native missions on the Yukon, Tan
ana, and Koyukuk rivers.
Next year will mark the 25th year
in which Bishop Rowe has been jour
neying through Alaska—in earlier
days in his own manufactured boat
shooting the rapids, or mushing on
foot with his own dog-team over a
thousand miles or more during winter,
before the present steamboat routes
or overland trails.
Often among the first to get into
a new camp, he planted missions and
hospitals to succor and minister to the
newcomers and their families.
From Southeastern Alaska to and
beyond the Arctic Circle and along
the Yukon the Bishop had planted
the ensign of the Cross, and, with his
band of faithful women and men, has
had no little part in holding up the
higher standards of life and minis
tering to the souls and bodies of
those who have flocked to the North
land in search of fortune, as well as
ministering to many of the native
population, who, in many cases, look
I- to him as friend and father in God.
The Bishop has three times refused
to be transferred to other less ar
duous missionary fields.
The Bishop expects to return next
fall in time to attend the Triennial
General Convention of his church,
which meets in Detroit for three
weeks.

were in dock than at sea almost, due
to the fact that we had no men to man
them, is to be paralelled, every quali
fied man must prepare for this officer's
ticket.
“The regulations just passed by the
steamboats inspection service open an
entirely new recruiting field among
naval men commissioned as ensigns
after having the intensive training
course offered by the navy and with
four months sea service to his credit.
4'The above applies also to our navi
gation class which Could take care of
at least twenty more men, who have
had the requisite sea service. The

decreed that ’a graduate of a regular
ly established high school or college
upon recommendation of the master or
masters under whom he has served
after not less than 12 months' service

coastwise steamers of 2000 gross tons
or over is eligible for his examination
for license.’
“Applications for the school should
