ALASKAN VISITORS
TELL OF THE NORTH
DOCTORS DICKINSON GAVE AN
INTERVIEW TO REPORTER
Under date of December 20, the
Daily Pantagraph, a publication of
Bloomington, 111., publishes an in
terview given to one of the report
ers by Doctors Dickinson, who are
mow on a visit East.. An excerpt of
.Vhich follows:
Dr. George Dickinson and wife, of
Ketchikan, Alaska, are in the city
spending a few days with Dr. and
Mrs. J. L. Yolton, of East Jeffer
son street. Mrs. Dickinson was a
former schoolmate of Mrs. Yolton,
the two having attended the same
medical school. The Dickinsons
brought with them to the city all
the enthusiasm of the thriving north
country and the stories which they
delineate, including first-hand de
scriptions of the country , furnish
a book full of thrills to those of
us who have not ventured outside
the bounds of the middle west.
Ketchikan, their home, is situat
ed on a beautiful island of Gigedo,
just west of Prince of Wales is
land, in the extreme southern part
of Alaska. It is at this place that
gold seekers make their first stop
before taking the long trip to
White Horse and thence across the
divide to Dawson and the Klon
dike region. For this reason, and
because of this environment, no por
tion of the territory lends more
color to the whole Alaskan scene
than does the southern.
Mrs. Dickinson was asked if Alas
ka contained many women. "Alas
ka is a paradise for women,” she
said. “Why, we have suffrage, and
it is wonderful the courtesy which is
shown the women by the men there.
One would think that in such a
country, drawing so many men who
are compelled to live hard lives,
women would be treated with less
consideration than other places. The
fact is that it is just the opposite.
No man ever thinks of seeing women
stand in a street car and in every
way they are shown every atten
and courtesy which could be
asked for. It’s a paradise for
women."
Asked about the industries Dr.
Dickinson remarked that, though
gold was thought to be the great
source of wealth of Alaska, the fact
was that many other fields of
wealth were being opened every
'•ear. The copper mines are among
the best in the country, while the
fisheries furnished employment for
thousands. Doctor Dickinson has
interested himself in a quarry of
marble which the United States
geologists after an examination,
stated to be of a quality even bet
ter than that of the famous stone
of Italy. Many thousands of dol
lars have been invested in this new
found source o fwealth. The stone
is shipped on board vessels to the
United States and distributed
throughout the country.
Romantic stories are told which
rival the most thrilling of those of
the story books; in fact the doctor
knew and had dealings with the
currupt judge and the preacher
about whom was woven the great
story of Alaska by Rex Beach. Dr.
Dickinson, in his seventeen years’
resid nce in the north, has staked
many a poor down-and-outer who
v.tnt to the Klondike to return no
more. A few miles from where ne
lives a man whom he staked at
one time holds a claim which is
unique in that the owner and a help
er are all that are needed to work
it. At one time he had an oppor
tunity to sell out for $100,000 and
now works the mine only when he
needs the money. He is waiting for
a big price. This man crushes his
own rock, washes the gold himself
and thinks nothing of getting from
three hundred to a thousand dol
lars worth of the golden metal in a
very short time.
Dr. Dickinson says that descrip
tion fails t odo justice to Alaska,
and that the country will be one of
the greatest resorts in the world
one of these days. The fishing,
hunting and recreation which the
country affords can be duplicated
in no other spot on the globe and
that the unlimited resources which
lie untouched in the bosom of the
territory will furnish the means of
building the country into a great
commercial state.
Dr. and Mrs. Dickinson will re
main in the city for a few days,
after which they will return to the
home of Mrs. Dickinson’s parents in
, Waukegan, 111.

ANKLE BOUQUET THE LATEST
(From Popular Magazine)
Feminine ideas of personal ador
nment change with the evolution of
dress. So richly embroidered
hosiery became the vogue when slit
skirts were in style. This season’s
modes in evening gowns and danc
ing frocks permit a conspicuous dis
play of the ankles and therefore
fashion assents to their decoration.
; One of the numerous attempts at
i this is to be found in the ankle
bouquet, a freakish stab at orna
mentation that has found certain
exponents in the smart sets of
both the East and Middle West.
The ankle bouquet is worn with
dancing frocks and is held in place
with either a narow filigree band
or a soft ribbon. It must be of
dainty porportion and consist of
flower with delicate tints which
harmonize with the costume worn.
