A recent letter from Elmer
Reed to Miss Gretcher. Young,
concerning the Pioneers Home
and some of the Second D.vision
boys residing there ma\ be of
some interest. Mr Reed will be
remembered as a Nome resident
of many years and .s now em
ployed in the office department
of the Sitka Home
"The Pioneers' Home .? certain
v a credit to the people of Alas
ka Here some 200 sourdoughs
are treated with all consideration
an-d kindness, and it is just like
living .r, a first class hotel The
meals are of the finest and the
kitchen is an uptodate .nstitu
nr I lived on hopes and cann
ed goods for so long in old Nome

Doc tells me he enjoys the
work as it gives him something
to do, as well as occupy his mind.
I am pleased to say that he is
feeling fit as a fiddle.
The average age of the residents
is 73. which speaks well for the
Home Several here are over 90
and still going strong. We re
cently buried one who had pas
ed 9S Old Bill Guisler tells me
that he is leaving for Teller in
May to go back to his diggings
He is now 90 and one has to ad
mire the spirit of these fellow -
even though they may be doing
themseivs an injury.
'Gasoline Red" Joe Earle, re
cently acquired an old safe from
a fire we had. and has started to
{Mint her up He will sell it for
around S50.00
Arthur Carpenter, the old Nome
piaro player, is about the same
as when he entered the Home
One sees sc many funny things
as well as pathetic ones in the
H me. and every few days the
'lie- are at half mast indicating
that another brother has gone
West belond the smiling and the
weeping On the hillside close
v ,.e nearly six hundred Alas
kans
A" old sport in the hospital
ward not long ago, woke up
around 2 a.m Hearing no signs
of activity he decided the Home
was deserted, rolled up the bed
ding put .t on his back and start
ed for "camp" The nurse had a
hard time talking him out of it.
Superintendent Hansen told me
recently that there was one out
stand.r.g feature of the gang from
the Second Division :n the fact
that i cy all figured to a man
that they were millionaires and
had left the big paystreak in the
ear' untouched. Well. I cou'.d
Si?e t. s view point, for I too still
ant f the firm opinion that if 1
had the oportunities. I could go
buck to my old stamping grounds
a" 1 possibly surprise the N nte
te' Ii may be just a dream—a
b _ pped: earn—but I hope to re
turn someday and demonstrate
my theory I can at least have
the sai sfaction that I tried to be
a m llionairc. The trouble is
• hat it :? in our mird and—if we
-o ir mind—we are broke—so
what the ell.
P-ker Pete Lars n from Nome,
comes into my office every couple
of days and asks if his money has
arr.ved from Nome. Pete tells
me he has soled 90.000 pairs of
b for the miners up there at
$2 • u a r and never has receiv
ed his money. On top of this he
claims he wrote a book about
N'ome and wants his royalties.
What's the matter with you No
meites. why doni't you kick thru
with the mazuma?
O.d Joe Fortune is in the same
class Joe makes frequent of
fice calls asking for the big check
he has coming from Nome. He
is very polite about his request,
and upon leaving the ffice he
bows and tells me he will call
ago:-', tomorrow.
The Home was built at a cost of
$30u."9O 00 and Is the finest struc
ture in Alaska. Sitka to me is
the beauty spot of Alaska and the
scenery incomparable It is here
t that the Russians Landed in 1799
and some of the old structures
still remain.
Mt. Edgeeumbe. a half hour's
run. from Sitka, is the most ma
jestic mountain in Alaska. It
was . f volcanic origin and blew
off its top thousands of years ago,
leaving Sitka nested in the midst
of numerous small islands. Can
you wonder why we are all so
well contented here!"
