Writer Of Prominence
Puts His Impressions
Skagway Into Print
(Continued from page 3)
To us who come from the land of
others who were sv. ept along In the
multitudinous stampede for the glit
tering prize. Rather than see one
memorial tablet fall down, any vis
itor would pay out of his own pock
et for its renewal. It is conspicuous,
being carved more elaborately than
any of its associates and the epi
taph is centered in the one word.
"Mollie." That may stand for Mary,
which is the most beautiful name in
any language. It is a side light on
ly. the flash of a passing lantern up
on events here, and the early actors
in them. Experience takes dreadfully
high school-wages, but he teaches
like no other. No shadow is cast
upon the family's social standiug.
The surname is not blazoned for the
Curiostiy or information of visitots.
She may have been a beautiful, tal
ented girl, the pride and hope of her
parents. In her home there may
have been left a Mater Dolorosa, a
Mother of Grief. By the fact that
this tablet is conspicuously decor
ated. it is rather implied that she
was attractive and had a recognized
personality, that could not be given
the burial of a dog. The ground
ii arked by the grave has many par
allels in the history of the great
stampede.
Attract Irenes* Enhanced
In the nainre of things Skagway
will look toward the morning. II
will arise in the newness of life. II
will have its second wind. I believe
that there is mori mineral walth
ill Alaska than has ever been taken
out of it. There will be the inevita
ble swing of tiie pendnlmu to ex
tremes which occur before all great
equalizations. It has seen th« im
mense exodus which swarmed out ol
'he ships, like boys out of scnool,
longing for a taste of a fresh exper
ience. Some generous natures, whe
have never known the rele.itless
ijrind of life's machinery without
money, do not appreciate the Im
pulse of the crusaders who desired
to avail themselves of a new s.ari
in life. All tlie buried treasure o!
some of the most productive fields
I found its homeward, by a thorough
fare oil whelh Skugway stood, as
a well known half-way house That
distinction will alwiys stand ill his
tory. An inspired writer puts down
the flat proposition: The pool y(
have always with you Sk:tg»a>
stands alone iu my observation ol
two continents and many islands I
never before saw a place that d.il
not have its poor people. I uevei
intimately knew a church that did
not have, at least every two months
a contribution taken up for the
poor.
A Suggestive Memory
I!ut the lovely community has :i
hig> er distinction. The Gentleman
from Hell never had u residence
more agreeable to himself than this
plat e. where he made his home, and
j set his traps for ready money. Here
on tills spot Satan had his cniel
I seat. It was thus the books repre
Iseut the places distinguished above
anything like it on the planet. re
I his emissary, made famous by hia
I wickedness, lies buried. Crime was
rampant. It was organized and out
standing. The kingdom of the Evil
I One. though thoroughly established
| and supported by unlimited money.
! like the walls of Jeilcho .was thrown
j flat by the high-minded men/ and
■ woi :en resident here. Hail to a peo
I pie. that, before the world, could so
[ gloriously triumph. All honor to a
: community, believing that righl
I makes might could go directly at it.
and bruise the serpent's bead. Hap
py beyond most mortals are those
persons, that con'd share in. or wit
ness, such a moral transformation
Blessed are those citizens that re
member that the templor first ap
peared in a beautiful garden, und
needs to be instantly recognized, in
any guise, and at once resisted.
And Now About Tills Garden
The people look upon the flowere
about us here as '.t they were the
usual thing. Not so. They are re
markable. They are exceptional.
They require explanation. Every
thing has a cause, if we can only
find it. I have sought it by dilllgeut
inquiry, and have myself tried to dig
it up. I feel this way about it. The
mountains all about us have been
robbed to obtain it. The fine alluvial
productive qualities of these gener
ous slopes have been washed down
into the hospitable canyon by heavy
rains. Vegetable matter has come
along with it to make a subsoil from
which on dry days the living plants
pump up and use the moisture.
Without the means of proving it, 1
am willing to venture that there are
uiany valleys where a person could,
dig down six feel and And a won
derful alluvium every Inch of the
way.
Community Presents Composite
Picture
Another thing requires explana
tion. Where do people acquire this <
fine Skagway spirit? It is different.)
It Is strange how you can feel a J
town. Each community has its at
mosphere. It Is distinctive. You |
not only see the town but it ad
dresses another sense perception
You feel It. People who have res
deuces in neighhoi hoods near Bos
lon do not realty live In either'
place. They go to Boston to at
tend entertainments and to trade,
hut have a divided heart which, so
cially, is of 110 worth to anybody.
They do not go over heartily and
bodily to either alliance. Such plac
es can have no lrcal social spirit.
The lyceum was a great social, pow
er and blessing, when it was sup
ported by the residents of that par
ticular place. Its glory departed
when it was commercialized and un
conscionable prices were charged
and lecture bureaus began to "star"
it. sending out on'.y to the larger
cities great speakers and singers who
trailed after them, big reputations.
That is the fortunate community
that d scovers and cultivates Its
1 nine talent and depends upon it for
its social sparkle. liach cotamuni
tv possesses singing ability and
speaking ability and more first rale
talent than is suspected, and its lo
cal success hinges on discovering
these things and cultivating them.
Transplanted Men Flourish best
Those of us who come from Salem
must say something more than that
we know of Cap Sutherland. Wo
know him. He represents A1 iska In
me Congress of 'he United States,
wren he returns to bis earlier I orne
in the east he is glreu the reception
of a prince. Wt are Intimate
friends of his fnther and mother and
ot his stunning, gifted sisters.
Where we live he has the cit> and
ti e church behind him, an 1 every
citizen wishes him well, and all the
l.i'Ople say Amen The youn£ men
in e lyceura make a great ado over
him, as he is one of a select croup
that have made their mark in the
world. The l'<: Sunday we were at
I'vimo tie !*fii:c.- deacon of the
il.urch, having i'eaid we were going
to Alaska, etit'.iislnetlually exclaim
"U. "Then you will see Dan Suth
Hrland." He made uo accouut of Mt.
Mi-Kinley. tliut exceeds in ele\atlon
all other summits of tbe land nor
of the gold or lishes, or of the fur
j bearing hears and seals, nor of the
land of tiie mid-u.ght sun, nor of
the territory eight Clmes larger than
all New Knglatid.
When Alaska ivas named it meant
just one tiling to him-—Dan Suther
land The good deacon felt, doubt
less. God might have made a better
man. but doubtless He never did.
The church for me Is tbe one that
stands riglit by its own folks.
There Is uo Difference
W'e are asked what peculiarities
we note in the people of the great
territory. W'e detect no distinctions.
W'e have the same Ideals, the same
I accent, the same faith, and the same
flag. You are fortunate In having
u representative community. Every
man here stands for some idea, for
some peculiar pursuit, and for his
own Hue of business. The meu being
thus chosen are thus selected mater
ial, winnowed s-*ed»wheat. Your
misfortune is in h&rlng the gold of
Alaska expended, carried out of the
territory, as upon the good ship,
"The Portland," a ton at a time. If
the money made In the fisheries and
the furs and the mines were used
here, the greatest single member of
the Union would soon be radiantly
transligured.
