PIONEER WOMEN 0E NORTHLAND
The dedication in Fairbanks recently of the splen
ded new hall and home of the Pioneer Women marked
a signal event.
It is significant that the members of this organiza
tion are confined to those who “mushed” into the coun
try prior to the days of the advent of the railroad, and
beyond question they constitute one organization in the
territory confining its membership to those early limit
ations.
The fleeting years have reduced tire number of wo
men in this category to but very few. As their number
lessens, the veneration for those who survive and for
all who braved the frontier with thorn increases.
Splendid women, they who survive and all their
departed companions who came into this great nor^h
land in the stirring gold rush days. Many were the
hardships they endured and many were their triumphs.
Young, animated and fired with an unconquerable
spirit, were they when they came. Along with stalwart
husbands or perhaps alone in their great adventure, at
the time they knew' no discouragement or defeat. They
refused to turn back, and they remained here unflinch
ingly for a generation, although at times the struggle
was bitter. They were beautiful and likewise possess
ed of every feminine charm as well as ability and pluck.
Many not only shared in the great work of developing
mines and conquering the frontier—but did the wo
man’s part in founding here a land of permanency, rear
ing families and establishing homes—making Alaska a
homeland, which is the first great essential in building
an enduring state.
That the present membership roll represents the
most enduring of the great host which stampeded into
the country is self-evident. Grateful indeed they must
be that they have been spared so long to serve their
country and those whom they loved. Worthy indeed
are they of every comfort and every honor which today
may be bestowed upon them. They are the only pio
neer women. There cannot be another pioneer gener
ation in Alaska. Those who come after can honor
them by emulating and striving forward in the same
brave spirit; remaining in Alaska, as they have done,
giving to her sons and daughters homes and all that is
essential in Alaska’s battle today toward destiny—the
day when she will acclaim with a teeming population
and statehood among the sovereign states of America—
a true Empire of the North—an empire which would be
impossible without the good works of her radiant pio
neer womenhood.—Fairbanks News-Miner._
