PROCLAMATION
No body of men has contribut
ed more to the growth of Seattle
than the Alaska Pioneers. Some
of us who have lived here a long
time can recall the joy upon the
arrival of the S. S. Portland
■with the Klondike gold. With all
the rest of the United States.
Seattle at that time was in a des
perate financial condition. We
•who were living here in those
days doubt whether the com
munity was ever so thoroughly
depressed as it was just before
the arrival of the S. S. Portland.
The arrival of the S. S. Port
land marked the turning point
in the history of this great city.
It would be impossible to over
estimate the contribution that Al
aska has made to the welfare of
Seattle.
The Alaska Pioneers endured
hardships that rank them with the
pioneers who came from the East
to the Western frontiers.
It is with great pleasure that I
learn that The Alaska Yukon
Pioneer Association is going to
take upon themselves the dedi
cation of Alaskan Way. This
great maritime thoroughfare pro
perly belongs to the Alaskan
Pioneers.
There, it is with pleasure that
I proclaim the week of November
6th to 14th Alaska Week, and I
call upon all our citizens to join
the Alaska-Yukon Pioneer Asso
ciation in making this an out
standing civic event.
Dated at Seattle, this 15th day
of September, 1937.

after an illness of two weeks.
His business associate said that
death came seemingly from a
trivial illness. Mills suffered sev
eral slight illnesses during the
course of the summer. He took
a long cruise during the hot
weather, in his yacht because
recurring illnesses caused him to
give up much of his work for
the Republican party.
