RITES TO
H.C. SCOTT
________
•
Amid a very large gathering of Pio
neers, fellow members of the light
house service and other friends, the
funeral services for Herbert Scott
who lost his life in Mary Island trag
edy recently, were held at Red Men's
Hall.
The services were held under the
auspices of Igloo No. 16, Pioneers of
Alaska, and the regular Pioneer rit
ual was followed. They were conduct
ed by three of its officers, President
Joseph Ulmer, Chaplain Harley Sel
don, and Historian William Morgan.
The services commenced at two o’clock
and were brief.
More than three score of Pioneers
were present at the services. Members
of the lighthouse service from Ketchi
kan and vicinity were there in a body
nad all branches of the lighthouse ser
vice here were closed during the ser
vices. The atendance half-filled the
hall.
Tribute was paid to the deceased by
the Historian, Mr. Morgan. He said:
“As historian of Igloo No. 16, Pio-,
neers of Alaska, it is my duty to give
a short sketch of our deceased brothers
| life and upon consulting my records;
i find that Herbert C. Scott was born
i
i at Oskosh, Wisconsin, on June 10th.
11853, making him 62 years of age, on
June 10th, 1920.
I “At the time of birth his father own-1
j ed a sawmill at Oshkosh. His early j
j life was spent in the Middle Western '
' *
States, following various occupations,
notably holding the position of super
intendent of the Poor Farm at Osh
kosh ; then, if I remember corectly, as
a glove maker for many years; then
; as a Pulman Car conductor, finally,
hearing the call of the Klondike in
1898, came to our own Alaska, where
he has lived almost continually ever
since.
“He came to Ketchikan in 1898 and
followed various occupations and busi
• ness’ here until his finally accepting
I employment as assistant lighthouse
keeper; serving at Hinchinbrook, at
which place the writer relieved him
in 1915. Having a long vacation he
went to Puget-Sound and shortly after
wards married. When his vacation was
finished he and his wife were placed
at Mary Island Lighthouse Station as
first assistant, which position he held
until the end.
“The deceased brother has been an,
acquaintance of mine for more than
twenty years and during that time his
good deeds and generous purse, and
finally his passing while making an
heroic effort to secure aid for his com
panions in distress, was a fitting end
of the life's chapter of an Alaskan
! Pioneer.”
At the close of the ceremony, the
remains were viewed by those pre
sent A blue Pioneer badge pinned on
by the President was worn to the
grave. The Pioneers marched to the
grave in a body in spite of the in
clement weather. The remains were
placed in a grave in the Pioneer lot
at Ketchikan. The pall bearers were:
E. C. Austin, Ralph Foosness, John
Olson, John Steele, N. F. Zimmerman
and Antone Swanson. The casket was
i covered with many floral decorations.
Mrs. Scott will remain in Ketchikan
until afafirs here are settled, when she
will go South to Kirkland, Washing
ton, where they were married Dec
ember 8, 1917. They had a ranch at
that place, to which they had intend
ed to retire in another year. Mrs. Scott
before marriage, was Mrs. L. A. Har
wood, an old sShool-mate of the dead
light-keeper. <
Mr. Scott was the son of the late
Jesse Scott of Oshkosh, Wisconsin and
Mrs. Scott He is survived by four bro
thers, Frank of Oshkosh, Dow of Kan
sas City; John of Lacrosse, and Ed
C. Scott of Minneapolis, Minn.—Ket

“The skies may seem pretty murky
*.n JuneaU during these snowy days,
and things may seem dead right now
but the future looks bright—not only
for Juneau but for all Alaska..*'
tf. L. Morris, traveling man for
“Schilings Best," in the southeastern
| pari of the Territory, who made this
■ statement, and who is wiling to back
it up with facts, to prove his opinion
is founded on something besides per
sonal optimism, * peaks on as follow?:
“The popularity of Alaska as a
land of oport unity for the investor,
for the young man of enterprise, and
for the tourist is rising rapidly. Last
summer we had by far the best tour
st season in the history of the Ter
ritory. And every tourist returns to
his home state an enthusiastic adver
tiser cf A aska
•'The jopig manhood of the states,
eve *. t ag r for the west, realizing that
the las American frontier is as great
a land of (remise as the western
plains of the past century, is bound
to vesoj i j to the call of opportunity,
Overture, end success.
“In every town in southeastern Al
aska that I visited last summer, there
was a decided faith in the future, peo
ple tvere holding on to their property
and preparing for the great period of
d< vciopment that is bound to occur in
a territory possessing our natural re
sour, •».
“In preparation for the rush ex
pected next spring and summer, the
Grand Trunk Pacific line will again
luu its steamers to Alaska portS, in
order to reap tjie benefits of the in
creased migration of workers, busi
ness men, and tourists to this coun
try.
‘"Newspapers all over the states are
taking up the work, and informing the
public of the possibilities of the “last
frontier.” News of pulp mill develop
ments, appearing in the big dailies of
the east are drawing the attention of
capital and the American public is
slowly beginning to realize that in
stead of a land of ice, and rocks and
snow, our territory is a temperate
country, warmed by the Japan current
and in most places as inhabitable as
