JULY NUMBER OF
PATHFINDER IS
THE BEST YET
UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT EVI
DENCES SUCCESS AT THE
START—A FINE ISSUE
The July number of the Pathfinder,
Alaska’s only pioneer magazine, is
the best ever issued, and shows the
new management is working hard to
make the venture a success. The
title page has been changed to an
attractive engraved plate represent
ing Alaska, which adds immeasura
bly to the looks of the magazine. A
number of contributions from promi
nent Territorial writers fill the vol
ume, which has a good substantial
advertising patronage.
The new publisher, John E. Meals,
is a writer of ability, and as a mana
ger has few equals. In his salutatory
he says:
"We have long had two ideas which
plague us to the exclusion of every
thing else. The first is, that there
should be some means whereby Alas
kans could meet on common ground,
know each other and stand united for
their common good. The second is
that there are some wonderful stories
in early Alaskan history, which ought
to be put into print before they are
lost.
“Accordingly the Pathfinder will
always be open to properly voiced dis
cussions of Alaskan affairs and prob
lems; we shall try to make it reflect
truly the history of our day.”
Among the interesting articles is
one on “Reindeer,” by Lee Considine,
with photographs by the author. Mr.
Considine is well acquainted with his
subject and tells of some of the little
known characteristics of this valuable
food and draught animal.
“Adventures in Promotion,” as told
to The Pathfinder by Jack McCord,
Alaska’s Cecil Rhodes, is also very
interesting and describes the ups and
downs of the man who attempts to
place Alaska’s resources on a market
able basis.
Frank J. Cotter writes on the possi
bilities of the Cassiar, and unfolds a
tale of romance and gold which makes
the reader long to get out his hiking
boots, pick and goldpan, and hit for
the hills.
A special department for “Sour
dough Notes,” is found, as is a his
tory of early Alaskan newspapers. A
special department contains the lat
est market quotation on Alaskan furs
which -should be of interest to the fox
farmer and trapper, and “The Forum”
allows Alaskans to express their
views in a department of their own.
Mr. Meals is to be congratulated
upon a perfect magazine, perfectly
edited and a work of art typographi
cally. it covers a field peculiarly its
o >\ n and should be in every home in
Alaska, as it is Alaska’s only maga
zine, printed for Alaskans by Alas
kans, with the co-operation of Alas
kans,

CHICAGO WILL CHANGE
CHANNEL OF RIVER TO
RELIEVE TRAFFIC JAM
CHICAGO, Aug. 12. (/p)—Cutting a
new channel nearly a mile long
through one of the most congested
business sections of Chicago, while
river traffic continues in the old
course, as the project to be under
taken by Chicago in streightening the
Chicago River. It will be done as a
means of relieving traffic conges
tion.
The new channel, which will pass
thiough a part of the city now co.v
ered with car storage tracks and
li eight warehouses, will make possi
ble the opening of four important
streets connecting the south side
of the city with the business district
and also the rearranging of tracks
and terminals, thereby reclaiming a
large area for business purposes. The
channel will be 200 feet wide and 26
feet^ deep in the central 100 feet,
sloping to 16 feet deep at the dock
lines. The project involves the mov
ing of two brdges, the constructon
of five others and an excavaton of
1,000,000 cubic yards at a mechani
cal cost of more than $3,000,000.
A heavy river traffic must be main
tained while construction is under
.way.
The transfer of property of the
Chicago and Northwestern and the
Chicago, Berlington and Quincy rail
roads from the west to the east sides
01 the river will be necessary.
Operations will begin as soon as
condemnation proceedings can be
put thru to obtain the necessary land
and riparian rights, says Hugh
\ oung, head of the city’s plan com
mission. The commission’s plans in
clude the rebuilding of all freght
and passenger termnals of the 14
railroads running into the Dearborn,
LaSalle and Grand Central stations.
One large passenger station will
house all these railroads. Under the
new arrangements of tracks pro
vided by this plan, it will be possi
ble to cover them with hotels nnd
office buildings.

Young Leaguers Warned
Against Modernists’ Talk
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12. (£>)—
Young people attending the conven
tion here of the Walther League
were urged in an address today by
the Rev. J. W. Behnken, vice-presi
dent of the Texas district, ‘‘to be on
guard when modernists undertake
to praise Jesus Christ, because the
Bible speaks in very plain and posi
tive language.”
“When modernists begin to use
words of praise about the Bible,
about Christ, about any Scriptural
doctrine, we had better beware,” he
said. “You know that the soft cats
paw conceals sharp claws. When
the paw of modernism is subjected
to careful examination, it reveals
the horrbleclaws of the denial of the
inspiration of the Bible, of Christ’s
Diety, of the glorious work as our
Substitute, of His bodily resurrection
and in fact, of everything which is
dear to a true child of God.
“Do not permit yourselves to be
deceived by the flowery language and
astounding expressions which these
great exponents of modernism use.
What have these people accomplish
ed? They have undermined the
faith of thousands. They have start
ed confusion in their churches, in
their denominations and in other
church bodies.
“Just keep in mind that the Christ
of the Bible is none other than ft.e
Savior, who by the shedding of His
blood and by His suffering and death
wrought for us an eternal redemp
tion. Compare that with the cari
cautre of Christ which the modernist
ist presents, a Christ who is a mere
example for our imitation, and you
should be convinced that it is not
the Christ of the Bible.”
Corpus Christie Procession
Berlin’s First, 400 Years
BERIN, Aug. 12. (j^P)—'For the first
time in 400 years, Corpus Christi
Day was celebrated recently at the
German capital by a public proces
sion. This is taken as evidence of
the much more tolerant attitude of
the republican regime as compared
with the old monarchial. Under
