WHERE THE FOUR-LEAF
CLOVER GROWS
by KATHERIN G. KANE
(Written specially for The Gateway)
Opposite Unalaska and just across
the narrow harbor of Unalaska Bay
lies Dutch Harbor. And here we en
ter the enchanted land. A well-kept
board walk leads on to the govern
ment wireless station, one of the old
est and best equipped stations in
Alaska, with its roomy houses and
gigantic towers. After passing the
station w^e continue on a narrow trail
that skirts a small fresh water lake,
and here, almost hidden in the low,
rolling mountains, is the deserted
but picturesque and almost forgotten
village of Dutch Harbor. It was here
in the early eighties that, owing ito the
heavy trade from Nome, the Northern
established their great mercantile
stores, and built the largest wharf in
Commercial company of Alaska first
Alaska on this well protected and
deep seaport. It is said that while a
large freighter was moored at this
dock during the night a terrific wind
arose and the vessel was blown out
to sea, but not before she took over
half of the wharf with her. The pres
ent wTharf, while not as large as the
previous one, is the reparation made
at the time.
As we w'andered thru the vacant
buildings that had at one time throb
bed and vibrated with business and
social activities, we could not dispel
the sad and depressed feeling of the
silence of the houses that echoed and
re-echoed the sound of our voices and
footsteps, as if in supplication to re
store to them their former inhabitants.
i
Mute Evidences of Vanished Glories
The commodious store buildings,
apartment houses, cafes and assembly
hall are still intact and in good order.
The post office, with its perfectly ar
ranged fixtures, conveys precision in
its time. The neat and substantial
dwelling houses, surrounded by ylarge;
garden plots and the remains of trel-i
lis work, -where in the past climbing
roses used to bloom in profusion, still
stand in mute testimony of by-gone
days.
The hotel, which was a low struc
ture, contained many rooms and
suites, a large lobby and cozy dining
rooms, once housed such nationally
famous men as Whitelaw Reid, Dan
iel Lamont and other celebrities of
that time.
The most interesting and the out
standing feature of all, is the spacious
14-room house, once the home of the
vivacious, beautiful and charming
Molly Garfield, as she was nationally
and affectionately known, daughter of
the martyrd President James A. Gar
field, who as the bride of Stanly
Brown. then president of the Northern
Commercial company of Alaska came
to Alaska and for three years lived
here, until the Alaska Commercial
company assumed control.
This beautiful house was built for

LOOKING AHEAD
Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
