THL' SOI'KDOUGH CLUB.
On the Sth of this uionth the Al
aska, Yukon and British Columbia
students at the University of Wash
ington at Seattle gave a banquet in
the upper hall of what is known as
the Alaska buildiug, located on the
grounds of the University, and at its
conclusion organized what they were
pleased to term the "Sourdough"
Club. Forty names were signed to
the membership roll. The objects
of the organization as set forth are
as follows: "To unite the students
from Alaska and the Yukon by the
identical bonds that hold together
all residents of the northland; to
promote closer relations between the
University ot Washington and the
prospective students in the north,
-~u to further the best interests of
Alaska aud the Yukon." The re
quirements 'or membership are that
the candidate shall have been a
bona fide resident of the north for
at least 12 month prior to his ap
plication for membership.
When the A. Y. P. exposition
opened in Seattle in 1905 one of
the most imposing structures that
met the eye of the visitor w;is that
known as the Alaska building and
wnich was erected at a cost of
something like $50,000 by contribu
tions from the various camps of the
Arctic Brotherhood throughout Al
.iska and the Yukon. It was built
in a permanent manner, as It was
the intention at the close of the ex
position to turu it over to the l;: i
versity of Washington for uses whic
they might deem fitting. This pro
gram w as carrie.l out.
At present this building Is used
by the Young Men's Christian As
sociation, us a luuch room for stu
dents and is open on requisition
for general club meetings of the
students of the University, but in
conformity with a tacit agreement
between the donors and the regents
of the university at the time of the
transfer the clubs composed wholly
or in part of students from Alaska
and the Yukon have prior right of
meeting and occupancy.
The regents have adhered strict
ly to their agreement with the Arc
tic Brotherhood, and have stated
that when the students from the
north become numerous enough to
provide for the expenses of its
maintenance they would be allow
ed its exclusive use.
Since the exposition several ses
sions of the Grand Camp of the
Arctic brotherhood have taken pluee
within It and It has been designated
as the place for holding the next
session of this body in 1914.
The organization of the Sour
dough club is a commendable move
and one which deserves the en
couragement and support of the
people of the north. It is probable
that wuh the present small mem
bership the club will have a strug
gle for existence, and it may be that
at some timo in the future funds
will have to be raised to keep it
R'/ing. Should this prove to be the
case we feel assured that it will
meet with a. prompt response from
every section of the north.

Europe Is Changing For the
Best Under American
Influence
Our

Italy's
Hope
Paris
Now a
Better
City
By
OWEN JOHNSON
Author
and Traveler
MANY tilings go to show the influence the United States is oxert'ng
abroad in a social and economic way as well as musically.
Puccini, the composer, says that European singers! will soon he
coming here to get their operatic practice. Then the Italians who re
turned to their native land from the United States with lots of money in
their pockets have SET A GAIT FOR PROGRESS IX THE OLD
COUNTRY THAT HAS HAD MUCH EFFECT ON THE WHOLE
PEOPLE.
PARIS IS BECOMING RESPECTABLE, AND THE AMERICANS ARE
making it so. and lots of plages that used to be tem
ples OF VICE, OR SO CONSIDERED, ARE NOW SIMPLY HIGHLY
COMMERCIALIZED ENTERPRISES THAT TRADE ON AN OUTGROWN
REPUTATION.
One cannot stay long in Italy without being struck by the TREMEN
DOUS INFLUENCE AMERICA IS EXERTING upon that country
today, Italy now seems in the waiting stage. There is great need of di
rection in her industries. She has not yet produced a powerful middle
class The aristocracy has not gone into the direction and expansion of
the industries of the country. For that matter, I think she is behind.
She is cither waiting for the aristocracy to change its attitude or for a
powerful bourgeois class to develop.
But even far more noticeable is what I have found in the laboring
class in Italy. I mean with regard to the returned immigrants, those
who have been in the United States and have returned.
VERY FEW OF US OVER HERE REALIZE THAT FROM FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND TO SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND ITALIANS RE
TURN TO THEIR OWN COUNTRY EACH YEAR FROM THIS COUN
TRY. PUCCINI SHOWED ME IN THE LITTLE PLACE WHERE HE
LIVES, TORRE DEL LAGO, TWO CLASSES OF DWELLINGS. ONE
CONSISTED OF HOVELS. THE OTHER WAS COMPOSED OF FORTY
OR FIFTY NEAT STONE HOUSES, BEAUTIFULLY KEPT UP AND
PROSPEROUS LOOKING. HE POINTED TO THESE LAST. "THAT IS
WHAT YOU DO FOR US," HE SAID. "AMERICAN MONEY HAS BUILT |
EVERY ONE OF THOSE HOUSES."
In southern Italy this improvement is even more noticeable. Those !
people go back with great independence in matters of religion and politics j
and with a great desire for education.
There are liars aad liars. Soino |
;>et>i>lo lie tor gain, soiao for one re*H
son, and soino for another, and a
very few for no reason at all. Wo
can liad soaie excuse for those who
He to subservve some end but for
the slimy reptile who, alhtough
created in the likeness of man, iff
a creature fit only to crawl through
life on his belly, we have only a
feeling of contempt. The Daily Al
askan had an experience with one
of those latter individuals a few
days ago and would take pleasure
In giving him publicity in an alto
gether different manner from that
in which we did at that time, but
upon reflection have decided that he
is too utterly contemptible for fur
ther notice.
The farmer who sits on a stool
and waits for the cow to back up to
be milked rarely carries a full pail
to the house; and the business man
wUo takes the advice of a "knock
er" and doesn't get out and hustle
for trade stands a poor show of get
ting it.
Two births in one day is a pretty
sood record for Skagway and proves
that this section of Alaska is pro
lific iu other directions than those
o' horticulture and floriculture.
