Shocking Times
Old
SEATTLE, Dec. bP)—Frankly,
Klondike Kate is scandalized by
some members of this here now
younger generation.
The way a lot of these cigaret
te-smoking slack-wearing, stove
hot cut'ies carry on in the beer
parlors and dance halls of this
modern era, she says, is a down
right caution.
Compared to them, the dance
hall girls of roaring Dawson were
respectable, genteel ladies. As a
matter of fact, stoutly asserts
Klondike Kate, the dance girls of
roaring Dawson at the turn of
the century were respectable lad
ies. Present-day fictioneers and
motion picture producers, she la
ments, have grossly libeled them.
A lady was a lady in the Naugh
ty Nineties, says Klondike Kate.
Now she’s some other man’s wife.
Visits Seattle
A charming person herself—a
lady of almost legendary reputa
tion, Klondike Kate—Mrs. Kate
Rockwell Matson of Bend, Ore.
—was in Seattle recently to at
tend the opening of the Alaska
Yukon Civic Exposition at the
Alaska-Yukon Civic Exposition
at the Civic Auditorium.
londike Kate spends her win
ters in the beautiful little town
of Bend, where she is extremely
active in civic, social and Catho
lic circles. But summer finds her
in her old stampeding ground in
the Far Yukon, where Husband
Matson works a small mine all
year around.
Movie Version Hit
“I’ve never yet seen a motion
picture,” she said, "which pictur
ed the dance hall ladies as they
really were. We weren’t fallen
women. Sure, we worked for
percentage checks on the liquor
sales, but it stopped there. Peo
ple nowadys have got the old
time dance hall girls mixed up
with the girls who lived across
the river.
“I saw a moving picture recent
ly in which the dance hall girls
were pouring champagne on men
who had fallen on the floor. Nev
er in all my years in Dawson did
I see such a thing. I saw Mae
West in Klondike Annie. They
wouldn’t have let the kind of wo
man that Mae West portrayed
stay in one of Dawson’s dance
halls in those days.
“Honestly, you see much worse
scenes in the beer parlors of to
day than you ever saw in the
saloons and dance halls of the
Yukon.”
Ghost Town
Dawson isn't what it used to be,
Klondike Kate admits sadly. The
people there are nice, but there
isn’t that genuineness about their
handshake. You have the f cl
ing, she says, that everyone is pre
occupied, living within himself.
It’s a ghost town, the buildings
sag, the streets are empty, and
the wooden sidewalks echo hol
lowly and lonesomely to your
footsteps as you walk down to
the postoffiee. And you don't feel
any more that you can leave your
doors unlocked.
Klondike Kate still rolls her
own cigarettes. It’s a habit she
learned in the Yukon and she's
neveT fancied the tailor-made
variety of the comforting weed.
How old is she now?
She says she’s “sixtyish,” but
she hopes she still thinks like a
woman of thirty. Her friends
among the sourdoughs say she
does.
Sort of Retraction
Klondike Kate wants it known,
however, that she has a great
deal of respect for the younger
generation.
. “Most modern girls are lovely,”
she declared, “and I hold them in
high regard. Many young girls
have come to me with their pro
blems and I have always found
them straightforward and sensi
ble.”

Anchorage Man
Found Nearly
Frozen Death
(Continued From Page One)
At the hospital Leek said he
must have been in the truck at
least 12 hours, although he could
not remember what happened.
He said he was driving to Anch
orage from the Inn yesterday af-‘
tarnoon and that the automobile
skidded near the Marsch ranch.
‘‘I must have been knocked out
because I remember nothing
more,” Le:k said.
Leek, who was coming to An
chorage to do his Christmas shop
ping, was only partially conscious
when he arrived at the hospital.
An examination showed both feet
to be frozen virtually solid. Thej
left leg was frozen seriously and
the left side of the body and the
shoulder were also frozen. It ap
peared that he had lain all night
on the left side.
C. L. Cadwallader of Wasilla,;
employer of Leek, came to An
chorage at dawn this morning &
found his truck in the ditch.
Mr. Cadwallader telephoned
his hotel at Wasilla and dispatch-:
ed an automobile to the Fishhook
Inn for Mrs. Leek. She will be
taken to Wasilla today and will
come to the bedside of her hus
band tomorrow.
Mr. Cadwallader employed Mr.
Leak only a few' months ago to
be in charge of the Fishhook Inn
when it is opened as a chicken
dinner resort. Mr. and Mrs. Leek
came from Salmon Idaho. Mr.
Leek’s parents reside at Lewis
town, Montana.
