'JOURNALISM IN IDE FUR NORTH'
Address Before the National Editorial Association
at Houston, Texas, by Mrs* Mary E* Hart,
President Alaska Cruise Gub and Vice
President Pacific Coast Women's
Press Association I,
Mr. Chairman, Members and
Friends of the National Editorial As
I sooiation.
I I am glad to be the learep of
; greetings from Hon. James Rolph,
Mayor of San Francisco, with a
",ost urgent invitation, that you
I hold your next convention in that
1 it-' during the Panama-Pacific In
turiiutionaj Exposition, which Jn
I vitailou I sincerely hopu will be
f accepted.
(Iiends invitation.)
i aljo bear the greetings of the
Alaska Cruise Club, and the Pae
'•■c Co.ist Women's Prtns Associa
tion which are in brief as follows.
(Reads greetings.)
And now to my subject- "Journal
ism in the Far North."
Tiie first newspaper in Alaska
was established in Sitka hi 1SC7—
a |('ekly edition—not larger than
i.U< double i>age of a mugazine, but
liom this small boglnuing has
i sprung a mighty jornalistic tree,
(«'ith branches that reach to th0 re-'
niotest distances of our great north
ern territory—these distances that
Alaskans fondly hope will soon be;
encompassed by means of the "Iron '
| Trail,'' since congress has so re
jcontiy passed our Alaska railroad
Mil; and right here I wish to state
I 'hat the Alaska press wae one of
I the greatest factors Jn the securing
oi' this government recognition,
j which means so much to our north
! em population and the world at
• as; well. Every little settlement
■ has its weekly and all the larger
towns daily papers, and these pub
lications now have associated press
[J service, so that our people are up
j!o date on news of t'ia outside
woriu. Ti.e new gold strikes are
, u * i hronicled aud as our northern
{Press is conservative, nnd it is
i well known that no wild rat scheme*
i fre advocattd, our people trust
| their published statements, and
I '1,Ue "° hesitancy ju casting their
j'ois with other stampeders to any
jnew • digging- that be noted as
I l'r°misiin* by the local editor. The
■ society and club "doings"al30 have
jspac° in our dailies, for Alaska'
(towns have their club and other!
j social functions, and the society
i matrons have the same weakness 1
j or seeing their names in print as !
• do their sisters of the "outside"—!
a term applied to any United States
! P®ssessicns outside of Alaska. i„
; •' 1 of my fourteen years of wander
i |S oer our northern territory, l]
I only came across ono native woman
I " ho evidenced this so called weak
. "ess, (if it be a weakness to de-1
suo just meed of praise for deeds
I :'cconir>lished—and i do not
j consider it.) Her name was Pala
j f ' f Af:ik«koff Antesilook Anaok,— I
better known as "Slnrock Mary,
the Reindeer Queen of A'aska," as
jShe is the proud possessor of over
j no thousand reindeers in her own
• right, being the weathiest native
woman in all that country. Siio had
lome with her retinue to Nome on a j
bridal tour, on the occasion of her j1
second marriage to Anauk, a young
Eskimo of her trihe, and the happy
pair were encamped upon the sand-j
jpit lying between Bering sea and
Lhe Snako river, not fnr from my
awn little newspaper office. Learn
ing of this and knowing that I was
1 personal friend of tho bride, tlio j
ijdltor of tho "Nonio News" sent a
messenger with the request that I
Interview the newly weds, and se-1
sure their photographs for the fol
lowing day's edition, which 1 pro
seeded todo, readily g.rning their
sonseut when 1 made cle-.ir to the , \
bride that her picture, with that ol '
lier new husband, accompanied with
i nice "write up," was to ;:ppear in j ]
print.
I turned in my story and tho
photographs, and the next day a j
copy of tho edition was brought io
oiy little office, and there oil thef j
front page appeared tho article just i
iia It had been written villi a re-j
production of the photograph of tin
couple—a very good one—but I
scrutinized the latter dubiously, i"<>i
tho staff artist not bolrg content j
in simply reproducing the photo i
had surrounded and emlc-lii. !:• d
with a circlet of very fat cuph!» v.
exceedingly diminutive w; '1
were over twenty of th^se little
lore messengers gaily gyrutin?
around the newly weds but 1 look
ed at them disapprovingly, vaguely
sesing some resulting unplcasan' j
ness, and my intuition proved cor- j
rect. While I was still examining |
the picture, my office door was j
thrown open without the ceremony
of a knock, and in came tho en- i
raged bride, who had bee all amia
bility the day previous. She.
violently shut the door :;nd stood
with her back against it confront
ing me with a vicious glare thai
boded no good, and I no'.kod thai
sho held in her hand a crumpled
newspaper. "Won't you sit down" 1
faltered, but she only sharped her
mucklucked foot and continued to
glare. "Won't you have s:»ir.e kov.
kow" (meaning anythiug to call 1
said, ingratiatingly. Another stamp
of the foot and a decided negative.
"This Is fine weather," I ventered |
weakly, for 1 was beginning to feel
quite alarmed, there being only one !
egress from my office, and that j
barred by the biggest and maddest
Eskimo woman that I ever saw—in
fact she looked to me ♦ n feet tali |
;.s ehe stood blocking my doorway.
Still no reply except muttered
growl accompanied by a recurring j
stamp of tho muckluck. In despera-1
tion I extended the pn-i or toward
he-*, saying with all tho cordiality '
that our strained relat.ons permit-1
ted. "Did you see this nice picture j
of yourself and Anaok?" and then
the storm burst forth in all its fury.
