Skagway Sends 450 Pairs of Shoes to
People In Devasted Regions of
France and Belgium
Four hundred fifty pairs of shoes,
some of them now and many of
thetn newly half soled, and oil good,
were shipped ou the Mariposa inis
morning to Seattle from wh.ere they
will be reshipped to Belgium and
France. Placing a value of 50 cents
ou each pair of shoes the shipment
abounls to $225.00, and placing a
value of 50 cents ou each, shoe,
at.il the leather alone was worth
'hat much, the amount of the ship
ment reaches $450.00. This means
tnat nearly 500 people in. France
and Belgium will have foot wear
for the winter who would other
wise be forced to go barefoot and
suffer the hardships of cold. Or if
the shoes were to go to soldiers it
would mean that Skagway had fur
nished foot wear for half a regi
ment.
Credit for some of the shoes must
be given to Carcrois wltich, with
out any solicitation, sent a large
suck of shoes to added to tlie'
box.
SUagwuy was not asked to start
a shoe campaign but someone no
ticed au article in the Seattle Post
Intplligencer stating the need for
shoes, and the JJaily. Alaskan under
took a movement to see if there
were not some shoes in, Skagway
that could be sent. The quantity
oi foot wear gathered was surpris
ing to ull concerned.
Credit should be given to James
Kennedy 0, Co., and to Dortero &
Son who offered, their services to
collec: the shoes and stores as de
pots for the gathering of the i'oot
wear Frank Suffecool did the
hauling of the box without charge,
and it weighed a half ton; and;
tiiose who contributed to pay
freight chargos also are entitled to
a share of the thauks.
