OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.
The News.isa.indebted: to Mr. V . T.
,Pinkerton, Fairbanks, .Alaska, for a
bundle of " the 'FairbanksDaily'

A ,perusal •'of these, papers leads one!
to believe ' that the Alaskans go
about their daily life much as we do
here; `
the Fatrb asks - council l at its
routine aneeting discusses repair's to
, the public school, cleaning, out sew
ers,',orders accounts paid, etc.; the
Royal Arch Masons held •their an-
nual sleeting as did also the Mid-
night Suit Order of the Eastern Star,
in 'both, of which appears the name of
Mr. Pinkerton as an official and
Minnie Pinkerton in the tatter.
Church news and police court news
both have a place, • ,
The Tanana Valley Agricultural
Society advertises the date of its an-
nual meeting and a short course in
Agriculture is also announced, to be
conducted by a ,Government repre-
sentative front an Experimental Sta-
tion, but what the extent est of the farm-
ing community is, is not indicated.
The one great interest of •the dis-
trict is mining. Nearly a page of
the paper is devoted to land office
notices of mining claims but strange
to say, the advertisements in the
paper are for electric washers, auto-
mobile insurance, steam laundry,
January sales, etc. •
Apparently the Alaskan railway
hoes not pay, but will be kept in
operation by the United States
government. There is mention of a
proposed pulp and paper industry
for Alaska,
Automobilists have been using the
beach along Bering Sea as a boule-
vard and have no difficulty in travel-
ling for miles. This reminds one of
our own Kettle Point on Lake Huron,
The movies are invading Alaska
for its.. wonderful scenery and
several pictures have been located
there, The Fairbanks Airplane Co.
is doing business and expects to ex-
tend its usefulness in the near fu-
ture.
To the average person the very
mention of Alaska brings shivers
and visions of dndless snow and ice,
and references to thirty, forty and
fifty degrees below zero do not alter
these opinions. Nevertheless, the
paper asserts the first snow did not
come this year until November 36th.
Seaforth had snow a month earlier
than that.
• In an issue just before Christmas
there is an editorial urgin¢ the mer-
chants to be more generous with
light in the stores. If a lady goes
shopping she is almost afraid to
enter the stores which are all dark
except for a light in the rear. When
she goes in, a clerk comes and
switches on a light at the front of
the store and turns off the other one.
If the purchaser wants to look at
goods in another part of the store,
the clerk turns off the light where he
is and switches on another one where
the desired goods are, This perform-
ance is, of course, to save light. The
days are very short and no doubt
the cost of electricity is high as it
says a ,merchant could burn all hist
lights I;he week before Christmas and
the extra cost would be "only about
$10,"

ST. COLT/MEAN.
Died in Detroit—Mr. John Wingle,
a former well known resident of Mc-
Killop, passed away after a fete
months' illness at his home in Detroit
on February 9, 1926. He was in Itis
eighty-seventh year and had always
enjoyed good health to within a few
months of his death. The subject
of this sketch was born in Ireland
and with his father and mother emi-
grated to Canada when he was quite
young. They settled in Scarboro
Township, where they lived for a
number of years. They then decided
to go further west when they came
to McKillop and settled on Lot 12,
Concession 2, which fine hundred acre
farm he cleared and built fine build-
ings on. He was a hard working ,mean
and besides running his farm, follow-
ed the threshing business in the days
of the horse power threshing machine
when the hardships were far greater
than with the present day outfits. He
continued to reside in McKillop until
about twenty-two years ago when he
with Inc wife and fainly, moved to
Detroit, where he continued to reside
until called by death. His wife pre-
deceased flim fourteen years ago,

ward, all of Detroit, and six (laugh,
ters, Mary, who lived at home with
her father since his wife's death; Mrs,
Thomas O'Sullivan, Mrs. Ferguson,
Mrs. Hyslop, and Teresa and Agnes
who both died at their former home
in McKillop. Also one sister, Miss
Mary Wingle, of Toronto, survives,
He was a kind and loving father and
husband and a good neighbor, and
was a life long member of the Ro-
man Catholic faith and died fully
fortified with the sacraments and riteq
of his relicion. The funeral was held
to Detroit where he was buried in
the family plot beside the remains of
his wife. His many friends and neigh-
bors in McKillop regret that never
again in the flesh will they meet him
to receive the hearty handshake, the
jolly spoken word and pleasant smile,
which was always extended to them
on his many visits from Detroit to
his old friends and neighbors in Me-
Killop. The sympathy of the com-
munity is extended to the bereaved
family on the death of their father.
Mr. Joseph Downey, of Vancouver,
Washington State, is here on a visit
with his brother, Mr, Michael Down-
ey, of St, Columban. It is fifteen
years since Mr. aud'Mrs, Downey and
family left McKillop. While time
seems to have dealt leniently with
him, he notes many changes in the
community.
