WHERE HONOR IS DUE
In all our talk of the hardy pioneers who have un
dergone hardships and deprivation and travail in the de
velopment of the North, we have been prone to forget
those splendid women who too, have taken their part in
that glorious march of progress, giving as unstintingly
of their courage and fortitude as have their men. There
is hardly a page in the great book of achievement in
many different portions of this comparatively unknown
land upon which the name of some courageous and stead
iest woman should not have been inscribed to the honor
df her sex and the glory of the Territory.
It is with such profound conviction in mind that we
propose the name of Mrs. D. W. Downey of Nuka Bay
for Seward’s own particular hall of fame. She is the
type which it would be most fitting to honor, since she is
entirely unconscious of great achievement taking it all as
a part of the day’s work and no more than a part of her
rightful job as the helpmeet of her life partner.
Mvc Downey has spent three winters in the new
frolo camp of Nuka Bay at the side of her husband, the
partner of Tom Babcock, and.is now embarked upon her
fourth. The present visit to Seward is her first out of
-«olafed country for two years,
if Nuka Bay becomes the great gold camp that it
gives promise of doing, much credit therefore will be due
co Mrs. Downey. The only woman in that land of precip
itous mountains where great snows bind the white
silences she has lived unselfishly unprotestingly, giving
the moral support necessary when her partners were
down to bedrock in a financial way and the “zero hour"
was at hand. She uncomplainingly stood the loneliness
that women feel when away from members of their sex,
did her work cheerfully, heartening her co-workers to
further effort until at last the gold flowed out to them,
a rich yellow stream which is startling in its significance
of a newr and great mine.
She belongs to that shining army of loyal women
who marched by the side of their husbands in the great
hegira across the plains. They advanced steadily and
daringly into the Unknown to reclaim homes from the
wilderness, but they are entitled to no more credit than
"his steadfast Northern woman who has so materially
helped in the development of what will become a great
new gold area on the map of Alaska.
EBULLIENT—A TEN-POUND WORD
It came to our mind when we started thinking about
F. J. Hayes, who is a two hundred and fifty pound boost
er for Alaska. It means full of pep, boiling over and a!
that stuff that show’s there’s something inside besides
a vacuum.
“Alaska’s Goodwill Ambassador” has been honoret
again in an article in the Railway and Marine News ot
Seattle. They have paid “Babe’’ Hayes a fine compli
meiit and it is along the lines they are saying now, “H<
is the best booster Alaska ever had.”
“Babe” has a peculiar method of approach. H<
doesn’t come at you with the rapid stride and grinning
smile and the very forceful handclasp, almost putting i
kink in your backbone with enthusiasm. He sort of ran
ges up alongside the stranger in distress and inquire!
and discusses in a friendly way what its all about. Pretty
soon he has a ,new friend and another who will stick t<
him thru thick or thin, come what may and Devil taki
the hindermost. That’s “Babe’s” system and he is getting
letters from prominent persons all over the world tha
just “happened” to meet him at Cordova. They say sucl
things as “liking Alaska” but wishing they could ge
back to shake “Babe’s” hand again.
General Manager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alaska JR ail
^*oad recently made the remark that Alaska needed :
“high-powered salesman.” Here he is Mr. Ohlson!

“LADIES MUST DRESS"
A funny tale showing the vast effect women’s clothes have
on their fortunes with men. A more appropriate title for
this farce would be “Ladies Must Undress.” Is the old
theory that hidden charms are more enticing exploded?
Why does a man want less clothes on a girl before he mar
