Hon. O. D. Cochran gave a second
rddress yesterday afternoon on "The
Status of Women in Alaska” at the
Kegoayah Kozga club room. This ad
Iress was in the nature of an encore
is his previous address had been cut
ihort on account of lack of time
ind the ladies urged that some points
lightly touched on then should be
nore fully elucidated. All of those
who heard the first talk were present
yesterday and others besides so that
here was a goodly gathering.
Mrs. It. W .J. Heed, president of
the club, introduced Judge Cochran
who in an informal and entertaining
nanner proceeded to explain some of
the laws of the territory that have to
do with the rights of women. He
dwelt at considerable length on the
Inheritance laws showing that at pres
ent a widow received only a third of
the estate, the other two thirds going
to any other heir or heirs. Until the
laws are changed, the remedy for this
injustice is for every man to make a
will. And it is equally desirable that
•
enough in the matter to investigate
to a considerable extent. Prominent
among these has been Eric Johnson
who has had wide experience as a
mail contractor. He went outside last
summer and on two aerodromes in
Southern California studied the game
and made some flights. He made
progress and ran a machine a little.
It was his belief on his return from
the south that hydroplanes might be
used on certain routes .n the sum
mer where there were bodies of water
handy for beginning and ending flights.
He did not seem to be optimistic
concerning the use of planes in the
winter on account of storms and lack
of landing places.
Johnson’s views in this respect are
borne out by Kenneth Marr who has
experienced many Alaskan winters and
writes to T. M. Clowes on the sub
ject. He says:
“It cannot be done and I say that
after having tested and operated some
of the most efllcient flying machines
in the world today.
“I am at present operating an Avion
de Chasse machine one of the swift
est and strongest air-craft known. I
have seen marvels of air-craft con
struction. But as yet I have failed
to find one that could last for a single
minute in an Alaskan storm.
"Supposing the mail carrier should
have egnine trouble, where would he
land? hero is no sufe or protected
landing in sotno portions of the north
and Ungine trouble In my opinion
would mean eertaln death.”
Marr’s objection against the much
discussed aerial route in Alaska is
in agreement with \V. E. Boeing who
is Seattle’s most experienced flying
man. Boeing has always maintained
that the plan Is impracticable.
every married woman who owns piop
erty should make a will in her hus
band's favor if she wants him to in
herit on her death.
Ttie Judge traced the present Al- j
aska law on Inheritance buck through
he Oregon code to Iowa and ex
pained it very fully to the satisfaction
of ills audience He explained the laws
pertaining to coirsauquinlty and manj
other provisions of the Alaska codr
that refer to women.
A number of ladies in the audience
took notes of the address and Judge
Cochran was warmly thanked after
he finished speaking.
From expressions heard subsequent
to the meeting there is likely to be
quite un epidemic of will making
immediately.
