8. The Oregon and Washington District allowance includes
subsidy for the Alaska Mission.

9. The South Dakota District, which has not definitely joined
the ranks of the subsidized Districts, was granted an emergency
allowance each year during the past triennium because of the

10. At the synodical convention in Cleveland, O., in 1935,
we reported that it was found necessary temporarily to discon-
tinue our missions in Alaska and Mexico City. The convention
by resolution “encouraged the Board to keep a watchful eye upon
both of these fields and to reopen these missions as soon as con-
ditions become favorable.” We are pleased to report that the
mission in Alaska was reopened at Palmer in the Matanuska
Valley when the Government entered upon the colonization of
this territory, bringing settlers from the drought-stricken area
