IT’S A REAL PLEASURE
to view the new wall decorations on
view here exclusively. They are so
unconventional, so out of the common
and so unusually artistically attrac
tive. If you plan to repaper you
should by all means see these new
papers. To decide without doing so
is apt to result in regret later.

The New York Herald discovered
her. She had come all the way from
Alaska to see real civilization for the
first time in her seventeen summers.
Never before had she gazed at such
buildings, nor ridden on such busses
and subway trains, and we might par
enthetically add, met up with such
d- fools. She was the “innocent
daughter of the frozen north,’’ ac
cording to the sensation-loving news
paper; she was the “child of the
snows” and the real simon-pure sen
sation of the hour; and she put it all
over those astute New Yorkers just
waiting to be gold-bricked, like tak
ing candy from a kid.
It is unrecorded just how she first
made her debut; but after she had
put up at one of the best hotels in
the city and acquired her childish
stare of innocence, the reporters fell
for her so easy, that had she told
them she was the posthumous child
of a Belgian nobleman and a Chick
aloon native she could not have re
ceived more attention. Men and wo
men flocked to see this untutored
child of the north; she was invited in
to the best society (where they could
hee-haw at her crude mistakes), and
was offered a position as lead in a
musical comedy. The public was so
interested in what she thought of civ
ilization (as produced in New York)
that they could hardly give her time
to chew her T-bones at two dollars a
chew. Had she asked for it on the
plea of being a “poor uncultured, be
nighted Alaskan,” she would proba
bly have had the Flatiron building or
the Woolworth block presented to
her to see her exhibit her “native de
light” at so munificent a gift.
“She learned with wonder that
there were bell-buttons beside the
top seats of the Fifth avenue busses,
and she dragged her way along
Fifth avenue, “window-wishing” for
the finery and the jewels and preci
ous treasures glimmering from the
windows, says the guillible Herald.
“It was her real visit of civilization
as it is contrasted with life at Koyu
kuk where the outside world is but
dimly known (My gosh!). Until the
park came to her view she never
dreamed that a Central park existed.
Names that are household words
meant nothing to her (She had never
heard of Pear’s soap). Of all the
notables of finance, the stage, the
clergy—the whole world. She had
heard of but one, Mrs. Finley J.
Shepard, because she ‘was so kind.’
and of John D. Rockefeller, because
he has an ‘oil house’ up in Juneau.
“She sat tense and expectant at
the Century theatre last night watch
ing the parade of fantasies across the
stage. Her exclamations and her
peals of laughter that floated out
over the house made many turn their
heads and stare in amazement at the
broad-shouldered, bright-eyed girl,
whose cheeks were flushed with
amazement. Her laughter was the
free, unrestrained laughter of those
who have the wide space to breathe
in.
“The first sight of chorus girls in
the airy and extremely economical
costumes caused her to blush violent*
ly.
“ ‘Say, she asked fiercely, ‘is this a
burlesque joint?’
“She was assured that if was not,
but an attraction of quite some note.
“Everything was new—astonish
ingly, wonderfully new— to her.
“Later, with certain footsteps, but
wide amazed eyes, the girl threaded
her way back of the stage and met
the various principals, each of whom
bestowed on her a picture. Then she
came home, her day over.
And the next day she did other
things and had other stranger adven
tures. She was taken on a sight-see
ing New York trip, through the cafes
and restaurants. The indefatigable
reporter of The Herald summed it up
for his readers, concluding:
“Altogether, it was a pleasant and
somewhat tiresome day for the
young woman whose eyes are being
opened so wide by professional awak
eners.
“Among the many communications
seeking aid, advice, a visit, and mere
friendship, was an invitation by tele
phone from Dr. Alexander Cummings
of the University Forum, a highly
intellectual organization, to address
the forum. Miss Sachen agreed that
she would and she will talk on ‘Life in
Alaska and Its Contrast to Fifth
Avenue.’ ”
But, alas, the lecture was never
given. Something dreadful happen
ed, entirely unforseen by the fair
damsel who was drinking in civiliza
tion at New York’s bubbling fount.
It had a terrible effect on her ad
ventures. Her old dad spilled the
beans. The New York Sun proceeds
with the story:
“She had accepted the invitation to
lecture, promising to appear, as the
invitation had suggested, in the furs
of her northern home.
“But,” said Nick Sachem of 500
Dugarra avenue, Kansas City, Kan
sas, yesterday in an interview with
the Sun’s correspondent in Kansas
City, 'It’s all bun! Louise is my
daughter, and she hasn’t been shoot
ing moose and caribou in Alaska or
any place else.
“ ‘She left here last fall to grab
off eight bucks a week in Chicago
shooting biscuits in a beanery.
“ ‘There’s some fellow named Jack
something that’s stuck on her. He’s
a saloonkeeper some place up in Alas
ka. Last summer when Louise pulled
this stuff about Jack I told her she
ought to marry him while the going
is good.
“ ‘My daughter was in Alaska for
about two years. She hashed in a
boarding house up there. But she
blew back here to Kansas City last
June. I did not see much of her
though, because she spent most of
the time living with a woman friend
of hers down the street. She came
here with some diamonds—I should
say so! ‘Where’d you get ’em?’ I
asked her, ‘Saved my wages in Alas
ka and bought ’em,’ she told me.
So the game was up. The strange
young creature from the wide spaces
in Kansas City was relegated to the
bone heap. We are told:
“Here I was handing Broadway the
bunk by the bushel and going strong
er with each edition of the papers,”
sighed Miss Louise Sachen to a
bunch of reporters assembled around
her yesterday afternoon “—and holy
fathers!—what happened. Pop, away
out there in Kansas City up and spills
the beans.”
What typical Alaskan slang and
how like our coy damsels in expres
sion. Honestly those New Yorkers
haven’t got sense enough to feed
smoked fish to a blind malamute,
when it comes to things Alaskan.
“You see I was always crazy about
New York and wanted to bust into
her, like Pop said in that interview
yesterday. So I came. The McAlpin
was the only hotel I had been told
about, so I came here. I got kinda
lonesome when I first came here and
used to talk to people at the desk
down stairs and well—yip! yip; biff;
bang! bang!”
Some more Alaska idioms, we sup
pose.
“Say!” cried the girl, all her en
thusiasm returning. “Wasn’t it a
pip?’”
And we poor, ignorant, misrepre
sented Alaskans must agree with her
that it was.
“Then I’ll hoof it out and find a
job. So long! You’ll never see muh
face again. G’byl, But it was sure
some whiz while it was whirling.”
And with these few choice expres
sions of Yukonese we leave it to our
readers.

GOOD PROSPECTS ON MIDWAY
REPORTED FROM TOLSTOI
(Iditarod Pioneer.)
J. W. Wilson arrived from the Tol
stoi on Wednesday last. He is here
for the purpose of negotiating the sale
of some mining ground in that dis
trict upon which some very good pros
pects were uncovered recently.
Mr. Willison will be remembered by
old Klondikers as the government tim
ber agent in the early days of that
camp. He is on his way outside.
The ground owned by Mr. Willison
is on Midway creek, a tributary of
Madison, below Esperanto. Reports
say that dirt taken from a hole sunk
to bedrock on the property shows val
ues of 50 to 60 cents to the foot. Con
siderable interest has been aroused by
the new find at Tolstoi and vicinity.
Yesterday it was stated that George
Blanusha, of this city, had bought the
interests of Mr. Willison on Midway
creek, but the price was not made pub
lic.
