EDITORIAL PAGE
«KKMK.MBi: THE
PIONEER'S HOME
The Juneau Daily Empire of Nov
-i'lh. in speaking editorially of tht
Alaska Pioneer's Home at Sitka, ha:
these timely words'to say: '
"The Empire joins with its con
temporary in urging upon public at
teiuion the needs of the inmates oi
the Alaska IMoneer's Home at Sit
ka, with the approach of the Christ
mas season. The ilornc is nearly
tilled with old pioneers of the Ter
ritory to whom fortne has not been
kint'. All are old men, and many
iiuite helpless, some of them en
tirely so. Nearly all of them have
.spout the best years of their lives
in Alaska, and most of them have
been actual prospectors and miners.
They have done their share toward
opening the country and making its
resources known. And as is fre
quently the case others have reap
ed where they have sown.
"When the Home was established
by act of the Territorial Legisla
ture last spring an appropriation of
ten thousand dollars was made for
its maintaiuauce until the legisla
te meets, In March, 1915. The
number of pioneers who have soughf
admittance, and who are still seek
ing it, is much greater than was
anticipated and the appropriation
will be exhausted much sooner than
was expected. But it will have to
be maintained in some way, and
means to this end must be devis
d for Us maintenance. There-are
10 salaries paid for its management.
Mr. Arthur ti. Shoup has been unre
akting in the care and attention he
? given to its operatiou, to which
1 iie has devoted a great deal of
unselfishly and without any
hope or desire of reward, save that
of rendering humane service for the
benefit of those men who in their
declining days have found a harbor
of refuge in the Pioneers Home in
the ancient capital.
.Many of tne people or Aiasna
will need only to be told that these
old men now there are worthy ob
jects of some token of the Christ
inas season. A snail present of
ome kind, something that will be
of practical benefit to them during
:he winter months, will be accept
able. Something to wear, or smoke
or something to read will cheer the:
along the way and add to their ma
terial comfort and happiness.
"These old pioneers come from
every part of the Territory and it
will be pi .isant for them to know
that at C hristmas season they are
not forgotren. Donations of any
kind may be sent directly to the
Alaska Pioneers' Home, Sitka, and
tuey will be careflly looked Af
ter. And while we are considering
the condition of those who are less
fortunate than their fellows it may
not be out of place to remind thein
that he gives twice who gives quick
ly, for Christmas will soon be here."

four facets, terminating in a small
facet called the coleic The best stones
are cut so that less than one-third of
the whole is above the girdle.
