Arctic Chief Quinn Presides—Discuss
the Action of the Grand Camp
at Seattle.
The Valdez lodge ol' the Arctir
Brotherhood neld a largely attended
meeting at Arctic Hall last night.
Arctic Chief Tom Qu'nn presided. E.
E. Ritchie read' to the members of
the lodge the proceedings of the
Grand Camp of the order, which was
held November 11, 12, 13, at Seattle,
and the members discussed the ac
tion taken at the Grand Camp rela
tive to the limits of the order.
Judge Walker also spoke upon the
trouble in the order and believed that
the matter would soon be righted,
and that in the end the order would
be stronger for having had the dif
ferences regarding the establishment
of lodges below 51.
The action of the Grand ('amp at
Seattle in recommending to Presi1
dent Wilson aid for Alaska was very
heartily endorsed'and the resolution
passed in Seattle approved. It was
Ss follows:
“Whereas, The Arctic Brotherhood
is an4 organization of Northerners
which has endured since the golden
days of the Klondike and which serv
ed the interests of the sturdy pros
pector, miner and empire-builder
from the time when this order was
the only organized body of men
north of 54 degrees and 20'minutes
up to the present day, when it holds
together in social union the repre
sentative men of Alaska, Yukon and
British Columbia, and
"Whereas, The aims and purposes
of the Brotherhood are to promote
land encourage everything tending to
wards the development of the vast
country which the prospector and
trapper has explored and opened up
to the present stage, therefore be it
"Resolved, By the officers, mem
bers and delegates of the Grand
Camp of the Arctic Brotherhood, in
convention assembled, that the exe
cutive and legislative branches of
the i'nied States government should
take prompt and intelligent action
with regard to legislation, having as
its object, the development of the
Territory of Alaska. BC it further
“Resolved, That, first of ail, this
action should be toward providing a
government owned and operated
railway from tidewater on the south
ern coast to the Yukon valley, to he
followed by immediate action as to
the coal question, an action which
would make available, for local can
sumption at least, ihe vast fields of
coal in the territory. The- president
and legislators are urged to recog
nize and heed the call for develop
ment which is coming from the
northiand, in continually increasing
volume and strength, a call which the
Grand Camp of Arctic Brotherhood
repeats and reiterates, in the hope
that it be heard and answered. Be
it further
“Resolved, That this resolution be
made a part of the Grand Camp, and
that copies be printed and. transmitt
ted to the President of the. Cnited
States, the delegate from Alaska,
senators and. representatives of the.
i states of Oregon, Washington and
I California and the. members of the
| Committee on Territories of both the
j Senate and House of Represent?!
i lives.”
The local, camp also made further
j arrangements for the Caster ball of
the lodge, which is to he one of the
largest and most enjoyable affairs ev
er given by the order, which has a
record for entertaining second to
none in Valdez.

GRAND PAINTING
OF Ml M’KINLEY
Sidney Lawrence is Completing Won
derful Work of Art at His Val
dez Studio.
Sidney Lawrence. Hie noted paint
er, has been working for the past
few months upon a large painting of
Mount McKinley, which he will place !
on exhibition at the art exhibition at
the San Francisco world’s fair. The
canvas is six by eight feet and the
painting is a [remarkable iwork of
art. To Alaskans familiar with the
%
many beautiful and elusive colors
which surround the high mountains
and deep valleys of the north will
wonder that an artist can reproduce
these faint and intangible colors so
that the spectator stands in aw’e at
the reproduction of the mountain.
Mr. Lawrence has done this with
his painting now nearing completion
at his studio on Keystone avenue. The
uncompleted work is a marvel and
an inspiration and well merits the
praise which those who have seen it
have been so lavishly spreading about
town.
For many years Mr. Lawrence lias
visited the headwaters of the Susit- i
na. where he has located some prom-!
ising mining claims and the giant
mountain called the “Top of the,
American Continent." has been call-'
ing him each year until finally the
past summer he left Valdez equipped
with fan outfit and spent several
weeks painting preliminary sketches,
of the mountain. For tveeks he
camped five miles from the base of
the mountain and worked each day
at the sketches, catching the varied
shades and colors, the immense vast
ness of the huge mass of rock, ice
and snow and has transformed this
greatness and grandeur of the moun
tain to canvas, where all may see
and enjoy.
Mr. Lawrence has done Alaska a
service in reproducing so faithfully
the grandeur of the highest mountain
in America. He has done a service:
to the many thousands who will vis
it and view in awe his reproduction
of. "our mountain,” and he has added
in no small way to the sum total of
the world’s collection of art.
Steamer Seward Here Tomorrow.
The freighter Seward, of the Alas
ka Steamship line, with a larste ship
mem of supplies for the Granite Gold
Mining Company, is expected some .
time tomorrow and will then .no to
Port Wells to unload.
