CELEBRATES FIFTIETH
ANNIVERSARY BY GIVING
DINNER TO HIS FRIENDS
—
Acting as host and celebrating his
fiftieth year in Alaska Mr. G. W. Guck
cr invited Messers M. C. Rugg, L. Car
rigan, S. Guyot, R. Davis, S. Shucklin,
F. Labbe, E. Wilson, R. Murphy, F.
Parrish all traveling men, and Char
les Garfield of the Juneau Customs ofi
fice, to be his guests at a dinner party
.served at Cameron's Cafe last even
ing.
Old time commercial men say noth
ing can surprise them in Alaska, but
there were several explanations oi
pleasure as the party entered the din
ning room, and it was hard to believe
this was Seward, Alaska, and noi an
outside Metropolis. At either end ai
the table was a steaming goose, while
at each plate a nicely browned duck
awaited consumption. * From soup to
desert, nothing was omitted, Charley
Cameron proving able to the occasion,
upholding the reputation that “Sew
ard serves the best.
Replying to the felicitations of the
Bunch on his prowess as a hunter Mr.
Clicker, replied by acknowledging his
pleasure at having so many compan-;
ions as guests at the time, and sug^
gested that as all present were vital-,
ly interested in the welfare and future
of Alaska, remarks be made along
these lines, each guest present re
sponding,* the unanimous opinion heT.
ing that a territory as large and with
resources so great as here in Alaska
ought to contain a population of sev
eral hundred thousand permanent re
sidents. Particular stress was laid on
the advisability of attempting to make
permanent residents of the numerous
cannery crews that make their annual
trips to the territory bringing their
own supplies equipment etc., taking
millions of dollars worth of fish
away, but leaving nothing in return.
Home rule was the subject of one
speaker who declared: “If something
comes up that needs a decision, I
can't take time time’ to write exilian
ations to my house in Seattle who do
not know the conditions anyhow, and
it seems preposterous that official
Washington, thousands of miles away,
Knowing nothing of Alaska 01 her
needs, should refuse to allow her hard
iest citizens the right to make her own
laws and decisions.”
Traveling men who know Alaska do
not let pass any opportunity of boost
ing for Alaska— they know her needs
and see her opportunities, if only she
be given her rights meetings and dis
cussions junong * the boys similar to
that of last evening will do Alaska no
harm.
