SEWARD, ALASk V. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 3, 1915.
The Juneau Empire again takes issue with the Gateway in relation to
the forest fund which the legislature decided should be divided equally be
tween all the four divisions of the territory. The Empire deprecates the
assertion that the First division is sectional in its suggestion to divide the
territory and states that speaking of such dividing is not meant as a threat
at all but as a suggestion which for the benefit of all divisions might be fol
lowed. At least this is the impression left after reading the editorial of the
Empire and without referring directly again to it, but what is particularly
ill'sired here is to speak of another statement in the Empire editorial to the
effect that the Gateway’s assertion that the other divisions should share
fifty-fifty the monies derived from a forest in the First is not upheld by any
argument. The Empire, in other words, cannot see why this paper should say
that this or any other division besides the First could have contributed to
funds from a forest in the Juneau division.
The Empire has evidently not grasped the argument put forward by
this paper, which may be the fault of the manner in which the Gateway ex
pressed itself, and the argument will, therefore, be repeated in the most
direct and simple manner possible.
The development of each division in the territory has aided the develop
ment of the other. For instance, it no Klondyke rush had taken place and
if the resulting peopling of the other parts of Alaska had not materialized
the First division would not be as prosperous as it is today and would not
have the population which it now enjoys, so, therefore, no such amount of
money would have come from the Tongass forest reserve. The fact really
might have been that nothing but the Treadwell mine would be in operation
were it not for the advertising given all Alaska by the Nome, Fairbanks and
other strides following the Klondyke. Of course, the other divisions owe at
least as much to the First division, but that does not lessen the debt of Ju
neau which should particularly take into account the fact that it has been
elevated to a capital, the seat of the legislature and the headquarters of
various officials by the development of other parts of Alaska—development
which could, by the way. be furthered by having as much money as possible
for road building.
Both Juneau papers have recently reproduced another article from this
paper commenting on the statement of Commissioner Thomas Uiggs that
newspapers should not become too “local.” Why do they not take this ad
vice to heart and look beyond to the rest of Alaska. The territory can never
hope to gain anything if it becomes sp it up into warring camps. Once again
let it be said that each division in Alaska owes something to the other. It
may not be a debt that was incurred by the payment of actual hard cash but
it is a debt, nevertheless, and a debt of honor that should not be repudiated
because geographical lines or some other technicality furnish us with an
excuse.
WANTS THE WOMEN OF
SEW VRI> TO GET TOGETHER.
Noted officials of the Federation of
Women’s Clubs wrote by the Mari
posa mail to the Gateway suggesting
that the women of Seward and Alaska
get together. The following is the
letter of the Director General, intro
ducing the message of Mrs. Fenny
backer. the president general:
‘‘You will find inclosed a little mes
sage to your women, from Mrs. Percy
V. Pennybaeker, which she has put in
my hands to get before the women of
Alaska, if possible. I cannot think of
any way as good as through the
columns of the press of the country,
and so I send you a copy and ask you
to insert it.
The club women here are very
anxious to get into closer touch with
your women, and as l do not know the
name of one person in your town,
your paper seems to be the one avail
able channel.
I hope some of your good women
will write me after reading this little !
letter of Mrs. Pennybacker’s.
I thank you most earnestly for the
help you give.
Yours most cordially.
Evangeline C. Harper.;
The following is Mrs. Pennyback
er’s message:
Austin, Texas.
August 10, 1915.
To the Club Women of Alaska:
My recent visit to the magic land
of the North has made me extremely
eager to see more women’s clubs or
ganized in Alaska; these clubs
should then organize into a territorial
federation, and in May, 1916 come |
into the General Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs.
Students of the present day affairs
are united in the opinion that no
force has done more for the social up
lift, for the betterment of home con
ditions, and for the improvement of ,
the child, than the women’s club
movement.
It is by no means difficult to gather
in a community a group of women
who will gladly read or study togeth
er to prepare themselves for some
line of civic action. There already
exists in Alaska enough clubs to form
a territorial federation.
Mrs. Frank White, chairman of our
membership committee Valley City,
N. Dak.. Mrs. Mary I. Wood, manager
of the Bureau of information, Ports
mouth, N. H., and Mrs. William P.
Harper, director of the General Fed
eration, 651 Kinnear PI., Seattle, will
glady answer any questions as to the
best steps of organizing and of com
ing into the federation.
All the forty-nine states in our or
ganization stand anxiously waiting to
give Alaska a hearty welcome.
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker.
Pres. General Federation of Wo
men's clubs.
