THAT GOOD WILL PARTY
(Valdez News Minor
Two oi* three weeks ago, or possibly it was three or
four, a party arrived in Valdez, which had dubbed itself a
“good will” party. It was made up, as far as we have
been able to learn, of members of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce and the Young Men’s Business Club of Seattle.
Naturally, considering they were business men, from
Seattle, and that they had dubbed the trip one of good
will, we rather anticipated they were coming North to
express in some form or other their appreciation for the
loads of coin they have milked the Territory out of during
the last 30 years, but we were fooled.
When the steamer with the party tied up at the
wharf here we found a vociferous bunch in fantastic at
tire, and we gained the idea that here was a bunch trying
to show the hicks how cute the city cut-up could be when
he set out to exert himself. However, we were informed
that they had been having a masquerade dance on the j
ship, and we revised our opinion on the party.
We thought of course, that upon landing these busi-i
ness men would at once get in touch with the merchants
and that a conversation something like this would occur:
How are you Mr. Merchant? We’re mighty glad to meet
you ^emciicuiy and assure you we appreciate the business
you have given us. Has there been any dissatisfaction
with our goods or our service? Come on down to the
boat; I’ve got a bottle of good stuff and well have a little
drink to continue good fellowship. Oh no, nothing like
that occurred, so far as we can find out.
Of course they wanted to take the canyon trip, what
do you suppose they came North for. W’hat, pay for it, I
should say not ! Hasn’t tTie city Council, knowing we
were coming, appropriated funds for our entertainment?
This is the first time it has ever come to our notice
where the seller expected the buyer to do the entertaining
But that’s the true Seattle spirit. Since then we have
been wondering where the “good will” came in, but it was
only a couple of days ago that we hit upon what we believe
is the solution. We think they had really agreed among
themselves before leaving Seattle that they would not
charge Alaskans anything for entertaining them—a truly
characteristic expression of Seattle’s good will.
As the metal miner mines for ore in the deep hiding
places of earth he has thrills that the oil operator—that
all other workers—cannot feel. His treasure does not—
even ages ago—come from the air and light of day, but
from the very bow^els of mother earth.
Back up every good movement, but dont back down
upon it.
