; WHITE PASS EMPLOYES EM
FOURTH ANNUAL BANQUET
In response to the invitation te
" sued by President 0. L. Dickeson
to be present at? the fourth annual
dinned of the White Pass and Yukcr
i route, about one hundred and fif
teen men, from aH points along the
1 lin® assembled' about the banquet
1 board at the Pullen House last ev
f ening at seven o'clock, and com
• memorated the institution 0f the
event for the fourth time.
Three long tables, glittering with
polished silver and cut glass, a
profusion of bouquets of the choic
! est fall flowers, greeted the eyes
! of the guests as they seated them
selves in the spacious banquet hall.
Set at righfr angle, and on a raised
platform at the head of the room
wag the speakers table, and at this
were seated President Dickeson,
Superintendent V. I. Hahn, General
Agent Prank B. Wurzbacher, Audi
tor G. Herman Miller, Master Me
chanic Howard Ashley, Private Sec
retary John Blanchard, Dr. L. S.
Keller, frequent patron of the White
Pass route parlor car, and last, but
not least, the pioneer -engineer of
th© White Pass, John Ol3on.
W. R. Hillery, cashier, presided
at the head of the first table, and
was surrounded by members of the
office forc-3, while F. J. Van de
Wall, inspector of customs for the
port of Skagway sat at the head of
the secontV table, and J. M. Keller,
representing the press, was at the
head of the third table.
The first order of business was
a close discussion of the menu,
composed chiefly of Alaska products
—Skagway's choicest in particular.
When the discussion had reached
cigars and cafe noir, Mr. Dickeson,
acting in the capacity of toast
master, asked for attention,' and
prefacing his remarks with a few
well chosen quotations, interspersed
with keen witticisms, in which he
went over some of the trials and
tribulations of railroading in the
far north, carefully went over the
progress of the past year, and laid
before the men present, the results
of their successful co-operation in
making the year one of success and
increased business. He said in part,
that the aim of the White Pass of
ficials had been "Develop the
Nortti" and to this end, 'he follow
incr comparisons would tend to show
to what extent their aim had been
achieved. In 1898 to 1899 the
White Pass operated 35 miles of
road. 1899 to 1900 this was in
creased to 111. 1900 to 1912 the
mileage was increased to 662 miles.
1913 to 1914 in connection with the
American Yukon Navigation com
jpauy, the wWtg Pre# operated
' 1654 miles, and la 1914 this vu
increased by operation, with tie
, same company to 4300 mile*.
He stated how the White Paaa
system had placed thu ku»ln«a
centers of the Paget Sound coos
try in much cloHer contact is point
of time with the Lower Yukon, uid
ia closing dwelt upon the tact that
during liig four year's term o£
office there had been not a single
j complaint from the patron* ox the
] system on account of Incivility oa
the part of the employe*. Thin
he said he considered as a gr«U
| compliment, and called attention to
the fact that the employes could coa
j tribute to the welfare of tb$ com
J pany by helping to correct mistaken
i impressions of the North.
Mr. Hahn was then called upon,
> and he stated that hia work was
! becoming less and less irfcaom®, aa
lie understood the men under him,
ae well as the "higher upg" aad
as they andenrtood him,
Mr. Wurzbacher took up th« ques
tion of moving the freight or ex ttve
wharf from the ahipa la port to
the cars in waiting, and atatad that
whilo at times it was hard to crowd
all the freight on tha Wharf into
the cars at hand, if they, were IwUt
sufficiently large, hg believed that
his force of men would ba abl# to
! keep the decks »t the wharf ctaw,
and there would be no causq fo*
complaint of delayed shipments from
that score. ,
Dr. Keller, when called u^oh Mr
President Dickeson, stated thai as
an old resident of the ccm»try
served by the White Pwm, h« *»•'
slad to add his words ot praise to
the ever courteous treatment h«
at all times received tram tie hiuul*
of the men with whom b« came
contact, and the fact that iha Whlta
Puss had expanded and intended to
continue to expand, waa a ■saattar
which every sesldest of the North
should be proud of. That through
the untiring and Bhrewd etflOTta of
President Dickeson, the hulk of th«
freight and passenger traffic
routed through Skagway, was «U
so a matter which Bhould be credit
ed to him, and was one which «*«■
of the greatest Importance to
entire population of Skagway aad
tlie towns along the White Pitsa
route. i -
