was erected, the membership of the
club was enlarged-to Include man
of- Nome’s principal business and
professional men and miners. The
inil’atlon -eremonies are said lo
have been very unique and Inter

The fll»t "Big Chief” of the cluo
was Albert Fink, a prominent law
year to whom the organization
oves very much. One of* the hon
orary members was Captain E. W.
Johnston, who gave many logs for
the cabin.
The Eni was a great factor In 1
promoting tbe Alaska sweepstakes,
and It also sponsored tbe Nome
Kennel Club, which was a separate
organization. For many years the
members of the Eni enjoyed the
prlveleges of the Log Cabin, but
Anally the expenses became too
great for the diminishing number
of members and the club becam-1
inactive. It still exists nominally
however, and the present seciv-4
tary has custody of the club's r
cords and Its very Interesting rit
ual.
The Log Cabin was the scene
of many festivities, especially when
distinguished visitors Came to
town. Among those whom tbe
club has entertained are Attorney
General Wlckersham, Secretarv
Nagel and Major General Bell, at
one time Chief of the General
Staff of the United Mates Army.

FEATURE ON ARCTIC
BROTHERHOOD
By Louise Harlan
In the spring of ’98, when thou
sands of gold seekers were mak
ing history by their concerted'
rush to Dawson in the Yukon
Territory, the steamer Seattle was
on her way to Skagway with a
boat-load of hardy pioneers who
were determined to cross the
Chilcoot Pass or die in the at
tempt. It was on this steamer
that the Arctic Brotherhood, a
secret and fraternal organization,
was formed by the passengers on
board. They were all going to a
new land, and none knew what
would befall them, thus they
bound themselves together in .1
brotherhood of the North.
In those days there was greai
dispute over the Canadian-Alnska
boundary line, and although there
w*as no actual war concerning the
matter, there was considerable
bitterness and ill will between the
two lands. However, the Arctic
Brotherhood was made up of Am
ericans, Canadians, and Britishers

and to show no hard feeling thev
jjdopted aa their moyo, "No boun
dary line here."
During the 15 years after its
founding, the organization enjoyed
its greatest prosperity and growth.
Every important town in1 Alaska
and the Yukon Territory had a
Lodge, or “camp” of the Arctic
Brotherhood. For many years
there was a yearly session of the
grand camp, held in Seattle.
When the gold rushes were over |
and many of the members of the
lodge returned to the States, the
population of the towns diminish
ed greatly, and there were no
longer enough members to keep
each, camp cative. One by one they
closed their doors, until only Camo
Number Nine at Nome remained
open. It is still active, elects an
A,rCtic Chief, which corresponds
to the President of other clubs,
and holds meetings in hall main
tained for that purpose. In the
hall there are' a club room and a
library of 400 books for the bene
fit of the menibers.

FEATURE ON PIONEERS
By Louise Harlan
"Alaska is calling them to pre
serve the memories of her early
struggles. Alaska needs them to
lead and pave the way for her
greater future." The "them” re
ferred to means the piopeers, an'l
teh above Is an excerpt' from the
preamble of the organization
founded, in Nome over 27 years
ago and called the Pioneers of
Alaska. Their purpose in organ
izing can be seen clearly from tfio
above quotation; In another part
of the preamble the members fur
ther intend to “search for nr*1
establish harmonious conditions”
in Alaska. In the days when the
Pioneers banded together and
made the above pledge, there was
need of establishing harmonious
conditions, for then the great in
flux of gold seekers naturally brc
many who were escaping from
their pasts and who i were not will
ing to live peacably and like citi
zens of a civilized laud.
The first meeting of the Pio
neers in Igloo Number 1 was held
on February 20, 1907. I). A. Mc
Donald was Influential in organiz
ing the Pioneers, and was their
first President. There were 478 f
charter members, allmen, an.d all
of them had been In the country '
since 1898. Later, in order to
allotfe' for more mejpbers, the time \
when they were ' tjo be in Alaska
was extended to 1900, and has
Since been futther extended to
1905. The club has spread to th#1
rest of Alaska, and there are now
some 26 igloos In the territory,
with a total membership of 3000,
Yearly meetings of_delegates front
each igloo are held In varioui
towns of the territory.
In the Mother Igloo here is an
interesting collection of articles,
all old and all donated to the
lodge. One of the prize posses
sions is a piano which has been
in the territory since 1897 and
which .according to good authority
is over a hundred years old, lift
ing made in Paris in or befors
1825. The piano was brought to
Sheep's Camp 37 years ago, stayed
there one winter, then was 'taken
to Dawson, down the Yukon t#
St. Michael and thence to N'oine,
The Instrument is small, made <>f
solid Mahogany, Its keys are fel
low and chipped, and it is, of
c?ur83. beyond all use as a mus
ical Instrument today.
