The meeting, in Skagway, of the I
first territorial convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance
union, is of special interest to J
our citizens, for the reason that J
the first local union of the organ- j
iz&tion in Alaska was formed In I
this city in 1900. The leader was j
Mrs. S. E. ShorthilL mother of
Mrs. L. A. Harrison, treasurer of
the present Skagway union, and
11 W. W. ShorthlU, secretary to
the governor of Alaska. Mr. and
Mrs. ShOTthill came to Skagway in
the rush of 1897 and were identi
fied with the commercial life of the
town f«,r several years. Mrs. Short
hill was active in all efforts for the
promotion of moral enterprises in
what was then a minings camp, and
t^e erection of a building to servo !
as church and school was secured |
largely through her activity. In
l$9y Mrs. Shorthill was appointed
representative in Alaska of the
National W. C. T. jr., and for six
-.ears she spread th'* gospel of pro
hibition in this part of the terri- j
toy.
The second uniou in Alaska j
was organized at t'oughis by Mrs.
H. Pedersen, now a resident of
Skagway, and treasurer of the pres
ent territorial union. From time to
I me Natioial W. C. T. U. speakets j
have made itineraries of the coast j
towns of Alaska, notably Miss Jes- j
ste Ackermann in 1M?8. Miss Belle
Ktarney in 1900, Mrs. Cornelia
Verapleton Jewett (now Mrs. Hatch- i
• r) in 1910, and Mrs. Lora La
Mance in 1913, when the territori
al onion was organized and the |
present officers elected. The pres- |
eut roster of unions includes j
Ketoh'kan. Wrangell, Peters
burg,. Juueau Douglas, Haines
Flcagway. Sitka, Vald^z, and
Seward and a recently organo
id native union at Sitka which has
forty-four members.
The Woman's Christian Temoer
I'-ice union is the largest organiza- j
Tion of women in the world, hav
ing a membership of over 500,
00. It has been o'.te of the gre-it- !
est forces in the promotion of t«e
movement for total rbstir.ence and
prohibition, which is now 6weepin§
' he country in an irresistible wave.
Skagway welcomes the repre
sentative of aji organization
whose annuel meetings '" 'are
eagerly solicited by the cities:of tiie
States, am' our citizens are showing
:heni unbounded hospitality.
This first convention of a body
of Christian women, marks au
epoch in the history of Alaska.
IN SKAGWAY, TOO
A short time ago when this p«v
o> r advocated the cleaning up of
•he town and tearing down of the
ol shacks and rattle-trap buildings
that loom up distresefully on eveiy
' anfl. we were taken to task becatv-.
it was claimed, many of the hous-.!
es that bad outgrown their 'useful- |
uess for commercial and residential '
ifcupancy could and ere being use.l '
lor other purposes, such as chick
en houses, storehouses for vejr-v
••tables, etc., and this, notwithstand
ing the obvious and well known fa»t
that unless scrupulous daily attea- i
tion Is paid to it a chicken hou^-j J
:s probably the most unsanitary >■
i se for a building that could pos- r
sibly be devised.
The people of the interior towns
are al9o beginning to realize thjit
municipal and community upkeep in
ti «• appearance of streets, buildings,
yjrds and residences is a necesarv
adjunct, to natural attractiveness of
surrounding scenery to enable then I
to draw and hold people of wealth")
and leisure who make annual vis
its to the places which please them
best, to ?ay nothing of the thousand
of people of moderate means who
fomo north for the first time, with
uo intention "of repeating their vis
it, but who, i£ auffie.ien.tly attracted
l>y what we have to otter them, wtU
return again and again if it is in
anyway possible lor them to ac
complish their desire. The Daw
son News of April 24th, has the
following of what a woman from
the outside had to say in regard
to the present appearance of that
city:
"Dawson is in a dirty looking
condition. In all friendliness 1
should say to the people of Dawson
it is time they are waking up to the
exstence of brooms and paint. Sweep
the walks and streets, Bcrape up tha
all^s, and paint the cabins. It will
give strangers a much better impres
sions. and paint and cleanliness abou
any premises anyways increase the
iralue of property far beyond thei;
:oet." These words were spoken by
i lady who arrived a few weeks ago
by stage, and who is seeing Dawso.i
now for the first time in its de
nuded spring habit.
"Yes, I understand," said the fair
arrival, "that the grass will come up
ind the leaves will come out, and
some of the deep lines and wrinkles
oi old Dawson will be hidden by
Dame Nature, but it will do the o il
burg no harm to resort to a few cos
metice. Paint is not such a bal
thing after all, and as for flower3
and shrubbery even such an old lauy
as Dawson may wear them most be
comingly. I also should suggest Ihat
in trying to put the old woman into
as attractive form as possible that
quite a number of the ancient
shoots be torn down. Some have
-ollapsed, and actually seem scurvy
*nd a menace to health. Strangers
'ock at the blank winodws cf
neglected buildings as indication of
spiritual degeneracy of a munici
pality. Any first class revivalist
will recommend removal of physi
cal defects which are an ey sore
will jliscourage devotions to the
cause of thrift and cleanliness. A
good way to et at broken-backed
buildings is for the city fathers to
put a good stiff tax on them. They
would be better torn dawn and . con
nect' into plank walks along some
of the outlying streets, wher« those
i'jw u i .provided with means of keep
ing out of the mud .have to wade
ankle deep when there .is a shower.
"Oher towns of the size of Daw
son outside have taken on civic
pr'de which is affording them many
improvements. Their old and de
lap'"dated buildings are not only
torn out, but dealers who encupi-.
ter sidewalks with abandons I
sleighs, push carts, wagons, wheel
borrows, flying machines and en
gines of war or peace to be distri
buted promiscuously over their
aptu lots instead of getting them
put away neatly not only are al
lowing their assets of that nature
to »o to rack and ruin in the weuth
er, but making the town hideous in
tho eyes of all. From the window
of my place I can count twenty
thrfce old sleighs and wagons La
tho rtreets and on the open lota,
tad see more junk piled there in
ho center of town than in the
orst slum district of any outside
