The following racv letter from j
C D. Hemming of Los Angleses will
V especially interesting to readers
of the Daily Alaskan for the rea
son that the writer is kncwu person j
all* to many of them, he having '
mada several trips through the
north gathering material -and j
srliciting susbcriptions for Polk's
Alaska-Yukon Gazateer and Busi
ness Directory, the last edition of j
which was issued in 1!)12. Mr. '
Hemming has spent a good portion
of his life in the publicity business
aud his methods have always
brought results; hence, his sugges
tions should, receive the serious
consideration they deserve.
About four years ago Mr. H*.-m-1
mins stopped for several weeks iu
Skayway and while here was 1 in- ■
Iti.ited into Camp Skagwav Xo. 1,
Arctic Brotherhood.
Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 1, '15. 1
Daily Alaskan,
Skagway.
Sunday mornings, over my coffee '
and cigarette, i usually get a half- J
hour's solid comfort in going'
through the List batch of 'Dally Al
askans' and as a sequence to the [
operation, it is but natural that j
my mind should revert back to the
last time I heard from Stag way; |
and then I immediately go to pic-;
turlng iu iuy mind a sort of mir- .
ago of my recollections of • daily i
life as it was four or five years j
ago, a sort of succession of dura 1
things one after another, and it is j
no* hard for me to find a legal ex
cuse for what some folks would call
apuarent neglect.
Did you ever stop to think that
t'j. word 'leisure' is a variable
term, and 'almost wholly depend
ent for its meaning upon the in- j
dividurl? For instauc« some
fclks, all through the live-Ions;
day, are planning ahead what they |
will do next, and per-se never have
any leisure. Others wing through I
life like butterflys, and except for I
occasional spurts at fulfilling the J
most pressing duties, generally have
u surfeit of 'leisure.' Of course!
