A LETTER FROM
Oi 1EIGHBOR
Haines Alaska May 15, 1915.
Editor Daily Alaskan:
My utteutiou was called yester
day to a placard 'posted in a cer
tain place In Haines, which I
think deserves more than a passing
notice. Of course, the placard was
in regard to the coming vote on the
question as to whether Haines
should remain wet o: go dry, the
placard being in the interest of
j the dry vote. Anion,; other things
1 it said, "That Haines is the -worst
I town in Alaska," and I wish to
j say that the man who posted the
I placard knows practically nothing
j about the towns of Alaska, having
mly visited Juneau since he came
i to Haines from the states, and for
j that reason is not qualified to
j pass judgment on the goodness
of any town iu Alaska.
lie says there are four brothels
iu iiaines, meaning four saloons.
My advice to him is to look up the
I definition of words, so that he
will know their meaning when he
| uses them, for according to Web
ster, a brothei is "A bawdy house,"
"a place of prostitution," and the
four saloons here are not brothels
i.'i. any sense of the word. Again,
I ' o says we have a barn school
| house. * Now the facts are that
we have a school house that meets
all of the requirements, and will
compare favorably with the country
| SM ool houses in towns of the same
| size, down in the states.
Again I quote: 'Talent lor town
site, nit." Wo had a right to ex
i-ect a little better language from
rhe gentleman, even if he wanted
i to use that as an argument in fa
[ vcr oi Uie town going dry, but I
fail to _soe any connection what
ever between the two. Ift - other
words, I can't see how the liqucr
question affects tho townsite mat
I ter of Haiues.
•Vow 1 am not a whisky man, not
| a s iloon man, in any sense. I have j
voUd for prohibition, and will do
s.o again when I think it for the
best interest 01 the people at large,
'jut 1 also love fairness and de
spis.- misrepresentations, and in
my candid opinion it would have
been far better for the cause of j
temperance in the town of Haines, J
if the gentleman had said nothing \
at all, than to say what he did.

day. May 15th, from 9 to 11 p. m.,
ia the auditorium of the Metho-1
(list church, to their friends In !
Skrigway, commemorative of the
25th anniversary of their wedding,
was a fitting culmination to a his
t >ry-making week In Skagway.
Aside from the local interest |
Ifcat this event aroused, it was j
doubly significant by reason of the
fact that it was the pioneer cele-1
tration of its kind in Alaska, and
therefore a noteworthy coincidence
ibat it should occur during the Eva
sions of the first woman's conven
tion ever held in the territory. |
The church was beautifully de
corated with ferns and potted
plants, while the program, which
was unusually bright and enter-1
tainlng, was arranged with charm
ing and sympathetic reference to the
completion of the twenty-five years
ftf tender companionship that it
celebrated.
Mrs Cornelia Temple ton Hatcher,
Mrs. Lulu B. Thompson, Rev. Mrs.
Blackwell, Misses Koenan, Taylor
and Wlgg, formed a receiving line
in assisting the host and hostess
in extending a hearty welcome to
the large number of guests pres
ent, who seemed to vie with each
e ther in the enthusiasm acd cor
diality that marked their congratu
lations to Rev. and Mrs. Pedersen
on the occasion of their Silver an*
nlversary and In the expression of
their best wishes for future pros
perity and happiness.
W. C. Blanchard acted as
master of ceremonies, announcing;
each number of the program.
The rendition oX -i'l Love the;
Moon," by Mrs H. G. Kinase, with
her rich contralto voice, brought a
hearty encore to which respond
ed with"Just a Song of Twilight."
Miss Margaret Keenan gave a
delightful reading "Constanoy,"
which was followed by a vocal boIo,
"Come to Me," by Mr. W. <C. Blanch
ard. accompanied on the piano by
Mrs. Blanchard. As an encore he
sang an exquisitely tender little
Irish lullaby.
Next to the concluding feature
of the regular program, Mr Oscar
Selmer rendered a violin Solo "Ro
mance," which formed one of the
brightest numbers on the pro
gram, evoking a hearty encore.
Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Blanchard,
Mrs. Olsen, Mrs. Lowle, Miss Evan
geline Cook and Messrs. Zlpkan and
Cole of the church choir gar® the
"Wedding Chorus" from the cantata
REVOLUTION
SUCCESSFUL
Paris, May 17—Accord;ng to ad
vices received here this morning
the revolutionary forces have been
successful in Portugal, .and a new
government, headed by Jose Cliagas,
is now In power,
"Ruth." This rich and beautlfui
composition was rendered "with a
sympathetic Interpretation, a fi
delity to technique and a liveliness
that formed one of the most de
lightful features of the evening.
At the conclusion of the regular
program, Mrs. Cornelia Templeton
Hatcher, on behalf of the National
W. C. T. I!., presented to Rev. and
Mrs. Pedersen a gold lined silver
spoon that had been given to Fran
ces Wlllard, the famous apostle of
temperance, on the attainment of
her 60th year, and which has tho
distinction of being the only article
lu heir possession at the time of her
ueath, that has been given away.
This historic souvenir came from
Frances Wlllard's famous home—
"Rest Cottage," that Mecca of tem
perance workers throughout the
v orld.
Mrs. Hatcher In a lew "well chos
en wordB, traced and emphasized
the tixelese activities of Rev. and
.Mrs. P«dersen for a decade on be
Lalf of temperance in Alaska, and
referred to the tender regard in
which they are held by the National
W. C. T. U.
J. W. Pritchett, on behalf of
the woman's auxiliary' and friends,
In a few -witty, happy remarks, pre
sented Rev. and Mrs. Pedersen with
a silver carving set and silver ser
vice, respectively.
Both the pastor and his wife
;nade feeling responses to these
presentations, voicing thetr apprecia
tion for the kindly sentiments and
substantial tokens of the good
will that marked their anniversary.
A souvenir In the shape of a
toothsome bit of wedding cake,
tastefully boused In a dainty box
with the card of the host and
hostess reposing thereon, was giv
en each guest.
A delightful hour of nociai con
verse followed during which a bevy
ot pretty girls served delicious re
freshments.
The affair was one of the most
eujoyablb ev**r held In Skagway, and
It 1b needless to say that the good
wishes aud heartiest congratula
tions of the community, one and all,
are with Mr. nd Mra. Pedersen In
unselfish devotion to high civic
ideals and practical, helpful ser
vice to their fellowmen.
