WOMAN APPLIES
METHODS THAT
ARE PRACTICAL
(Literary "Digest)
She doesn’t smash saloons nor de
liver public lectures on temperance,
but she is doing a great work toward
eliminating the use of whiskey in the
huge northwest territory of America.
Her name is Mrs. Dabney, first name
unknown, for in the Alaska country
men either call you by your first name
and forget your other one, or, if they
have a great deal of respect for you,
you are called Mr. and Mrs., and the
name your parents gave you is for
gotten. And respect is exactly what
Mrs. Dabney gets—from every miner
and traveler, every trader and wan
dering wayfarer. They know better,
she says, than try to deceive her when
they appear at the camp with a bot
tle in each pocket. In The Union
Signal, Miss Ella A. Boole, of the W.
C. T. U., tells us all about a visit to
Mrs. Dabney. We read:
Mile Twenty-Three and a Half is a
station on the new government rail
way between Seward and Anchorage,
Alaska. It is a square building made
of logs and, although everything
about the place is primitive, it is scru
pulously clean. Sometimes seventy
five men who work on the railroad
take their meals there. Mrs. Dabney
is housekeeper and a good cook and#
with the help of a friend, does all
the work.
When the government began the
construction of the railroad it estab
lished its base at Anchorage at the
head of Cook inlet. In two years’
time this has grown to be a town df
8,000. The government made it a
prohibition town and also let it be
definitely known that no drinking
would be tolerated among employes
and no liquor could be sold at the
road houses. t,
All types of men are at Mile Twen
ty-Three and a Half, and last Fourth
of July 25 of them secured a demijohn
of whiskey and several bottles. Mrs.
Dabney walked in upon the company
while they were drinking. She or
dered the owner of the house, her em
ployer, to go to his room, escorting
him there. She told him to go to
bed and locked the door. Going back
to the company, she attempted to
break the demijohn, but the bottle
was too strong. She then poured out
the whiskey, smashed the receptacles j
and threw the bottles of whiskey into
Iienai lake. When one man called her
a second Carrie Nation she simply
said she did not propose to clean up
after men who got drunk, that the
government rules forbade the use of
liquor and she would see to it that
they were enforced, and that no man ;
could come to her table who had been
drinking. It is said she enforced her
words with a threatening finger. The
men submitted, and while they were
at dinner the construction “boss” came
in and, before all the men, apologized.
He said she was right and that he
would not ask her to serve meals to
him or anybody else who had been
drinking. No man took offense at her
action, knowing it to be right.
We had heard the story from oth
ers, but it was interesting to hear
Mrs. Dabney tell it herself. She add
ed, “I can find whiskey any time they
bring it in. The other day a man ap
peared with a suit-case. I suspected
he had liquor and I went up to him
and said, ‘Give me that whiskey.’ ”
She said he meekly opened his suit
case, took out the bottle, and handed
it to her. She threw it into the lake.
If you could see this little white
haired woman and learn how firmly
she stands for the enforcement of the
law and then realize how 76 men sub
mit to her martial law, you would ap
preciate it, and you would know how
the men respect her. It had hurt her
a little when the men called her Car
rie Nation, but when I told her how
Carrie Nation never attacked any sa
loons except illegal ones, and how the
people of Kansas so respected her
memory that they were about to build
a memorial to heri she was encour

delightful luncheon was served.

aged and permitted us to take her
picture. We were there on the birth
day of the mayor of Roosevelt, which
is the other name for Mile Twenty
Three and a Half. As we went away,
she said, “A1 says he is going to cele
brate tonight,” and then, with a twin
kle in her eye, she turned to me and
said, “but he won’t, even if he is
mayor.”
Mrs. Dabney is providing those men
with a clean place in which to sleep
and plenty of good, clean food, and
she demands that they obey the gov
ernment rules, and that they do not
do things which make her work hard
er and cause her extra trouble. There
is no greater evidence of the respect
in which the men of Alaska hold good
women, than the way the men at
Mile Twenty-Three and a Half sub
mit to the law’s administration at the
hands of Mrs. Dabney.

FELIX BROWN RECEIVES
RELIC OF DAYS OF NOME
Felix Brown recently received a
parcel post from Seattle with all
charges paid. When the package was
opened it was found to be an old ledg
er kept by Felix during his business
career in Nome and contained the
names of many men who have since
become famous in politics, the news
paper field, the financial world as well
as other minor and lesser crimes. For
instance there is George Grigsby, the
Solon of Alaska; Chas. Herron, the
Dana of the territory; Skookum John
son, the popular boniface, and Bill
Spencer, of racing fame. These ac
counts were all marked “Paid in full.”
Captain John Sundback sent the
ledger from Seattle, where he was
visiting old friends prior to going to
Juneau, where he will wear the togo
of senator-elect from the Nome dis
trict during the session of the law
makers.
Senator Sundback also wrote Felix
a lengthy letter, giving a detailed ac
count of several recent eventful hap
penings in the northern city and men
tioned many mutual friends. He wrote
that Seattle was full of Anchorage
boosters who never let an opportunity
pass without a good word for the rail
road city. He further advised that
“the peoplpe of Anchorage had better
prepare for a great tourist travel this
coming season, and you may look for
unprecedented activity in the railroad
construction with Anchorage the base
of supplies and operation.”
Senator Sundback and Mr. Brown
have been mining partners for several
years and are still interested in some
paying property in the vicinity of
Nome. The senator advises Felix
that he will try and visit Anchorage
when the territoriay legislature ad
journs.
