REV. THOMAS MAY TAKE
MISSION AT POINT HOPE1
A Seattle dispatch received recent- i
ly by the Juneau Empire declares!
“The Point Hope association has •
practically decided not to send a
cruiser to Point Hope, Alaska, be-,
cause of the death of Rev. A. R. :
Hoare, missionary’, "’ho was killed <
early in May. The boat will be j
sent next year.”
Notified of the contents of the ■
message. Bishop P. T. Rowe, head !
of the Alaska church, stated that
he had received no such advices and
believed that a mistake had been
made.
“I have something to say about
the matter,” said the bishop, “and
have about concluded tentative ar
rangements for sending the boat ac
cording to original plans. I have
jbeen in communication with Rev.
W. A. Thomas, now located at Fort
: Yukon, and he has agreed to take
the place made vacant by the death
!of Rev. Hoare. Mr. Thomas was
'stationed at Point Hope two years
while Mr. Hoare was on a vacation.
He is familiar with the situation
there, and if he goes to Point Hope,
it is now planned to send the boat
with him. It may be necessary for
me to confer with the Point Hope
association before anything definite
can be announced."
