$76 COAL PRICE TO BE CUT
IN THE ALASKA REGION
NEW YORK. June 3—Coal at
$76 a ton is to have the price cut in
half by native co-operation at the
Northernmost hospital in the world,
according to announcement made to
day by the Presbyterian Board of
Home Missions.
The Presbyterian Board operates
this hospital at Point Barrow, Alas
ka, and completed it recently under
great difficulties.
“The Eskimos, already appreciat
ing the worth of the institution,
have volunteered by cutting the op
eration costs,” the statement said.
"The first step will be to mine 200
tons of coal for next winter's use
at the hospital, using the native
Eskimo labor at the mine set aside
for the native at Wainwrlght, 100
miles distant. The natives will free
ly transport this coal themselves by
dog sledges, and expect to deliver
it at $38 a ton less than former sup.
plies brought from Seattle.
The Presbyterian Board today an
nounced a long list of native Es
kimo contributions to the hospital
The list shows that while the na
tives retain their aboriginal names
they supplement them with Chris
tian names from the United States,
the result of missionary association.
Some of the contributions are: Kun
zuskik, 15 pounds reindeer; Mabel
Kerook, 16 pounds reindeer: Ned
Uusunginya, 115 reindeer: Amos
Ekosek. 4% pounds reindeer: Jim
Semigloak, 125 pounds reindeer;
Njllie Takatak, 7 pounds reindeer;
Philip Paneowo. and son Shirley, 9
pounds reindeer: Paul Kaveoluk. 5
pounds fish; Bruce Nakapigak. 14
pounds fish: Helen Kagoaluk, 1 pair
slippers.
The harbor at Point Barrow is
open only two and one-half months
a year.
I. E. F. HEROES NOW ON
RECLAIMED FARM LAND
MCGRATH. Minn.. June 3—Every
major engagement of the American
Expeditionary Forces in the world
war is represented by forty-six for
mer fighters who. disabled and re
ceiving government training, are en
gaged in reclaiming a tract of 3.500
acres of land near here, title to
which has been placed in the veter
ans' names. It is the first project
of its kind In the states. The tract
has been plotted into forty and
eighty acre farms. It has been sug
gested that the sites be named after
some of the important battle scenes
of the war such as Chateau Thierry,
Belleau Woods. St. Mihiel. The Ar
gonne and others. However, some
fighters object that their various
wounds and ailments are sufficient
reminders of their experiences.
Life on the tract is similar to
army life. There are bunk and
chow halls and the squad arrange
ment for work.
The men settled here late in
April, coming from the University
of Minnesota agricultural school
where they were studying unde/
government supervision. In fact
they still are being paid for voca
tional training as their courses stip
ulate that a certain period be de
voted to practical application of
their schooling.
They are paying for the land in
installments from the salary of 3100
a month which each receives.
The men. some of whom have
families, are being housed in large
community buildings until separate
l ouses can be built. It is planned
to build a school, store and church
on the property when the farmers
become settled.
When the tract had been plotted
the veterans were grouped in units
to begin clearing land. The units
work on each man's farm one week.
The tract lying in territory de
veloping rapidly as a rich dairying
and farming center is chiefly burn
ed-over land, unfit for reforestation
and, in its present shape, for agri
culture.
The new farmers present a unique
assembly of all nationalities. Some
were gaaaed. others shell-shocked,
others wounded by bullets. Then

lounding with several special serv
ices beginning tomorrow morning
and concluding on Wednesday eve
ning. The first service to be held

"The Fellowship of Service" will
take place and the speakers will
include Rev. Garret M. Conover,
the senior member of the Classis
of Month, and Rev. A. L. Iszard.
senior pastor of the borough.
A brief history of the church as
prepared by the present pastor, Rev.
F. T. B. Reynolds, follows:
The Reformed church of the bor
ough of Keyport was the result of
efforts on the part of the Classis of
New Brunswick which requested
the Rev. A. C. Millspaugh, minister
of the Reformed church of Middle
town. to conduct a service in the
borough each Sunday here. He re
sponded to the wish of the Consis
tory, and preached in the borough
on Sunday afternoons. Nathan F.
Chapman, a student from the theo
logical seminary at New Brunswick,
was then secured and he conducted
the work from his ordination in
1847 until 1850.
At this time the original mem
bers of the church were Daniel
Sloan, Jr., Abraham Van Woerts,
Mrs. Dorcas Van Woert, Mrs.
Maria C. Arrowsraith, Mrs. Mar
garet Ackerson, Peter L. Snyder,
Mrs. Jane Snyder, Miss Catherine
oiijuct, ii um iiic luiuuiccuu
formed church; William H. Coulter,
Mrs. Sarah Post, from the Bergen
Reformed church. Mrs. Mary Lam
bard. Mrs. Maria Barnes, from the
Port Richmond Reformed church,
and Mrs. Sarah Johnson, from the
Presbyterian church of Phio.
During the next three years the
congregation grew rapidly and the
church was in charge of the Rev.
John Minor and the Rev. Jeremiah
Searle. The Rev. Samuel Lockwood
was the first minister of this thriv
ing church and was installed in
1854. He remained as pastor until
1869 and was succeeded by the Rev.
A. A. Zabriskie, whose pastorate in
cluded three successful years. In
1873. Rev. Elias Mead began his
ministry here and continued as pas
tor of the Reformed church for sev
enteen years, being followed in 1890
by the Rev. James T. Schock who
continued as pastor for seven years,
at this time concluding to accept
the principalship of the local school.
