The presentation to Mr. Rogers tooK

more than 100 White Pass employees
and othrr friends of Mr. Rogers. That
to Mrs. Rogers, Miss Florenc and Miss

in the presence of two scors or more
of ladies.

Mr. Rogers will receive the watch
which was presented to hitr, at Seat
tle. None could be secured in Skag

other Mr. Rogers' monogram. On the
inside case will be the inscription:
"Presented to J. P. Rogers, retiring j
superintendent of the W. P. & Y. R. ]
Skagway, Alaska, by his employees aod .
friends."
The presentation was made by John j
W. Troy, who said:
"Mr. Rogers:? The time is at hand
whtn you, Mrs. Rogers and little :
Florence are to depart from Skagway?
to sever a residence that begun among .
us more than s>x years ago. The friends
whom you see here and many others
who would like very well to be here
with us could not permit that to take
place without doiog something to indi
cate to you how great a place you and
your family occupy in their esteem
Therefore they have brought you here,
and while we are expressing our feel
ings to y>u in our poor war. Mrs
Rogers is receiving, at the Pullen
tru?e, renewed testimonials of (he love
and affection which the ladies of Skag
way bear for her.
"It is needless to say that this parting
grieves us? your a-sociaies and friends.
The fact that the association which has
been yours witu us for so many -years is
to be broken would convey that to your
sensibilities though we said not a word.
Yet, I want to say just a word about
your connection with us all in your
capacity ?s a railroad man. a citixen
and a friend, and I will say it as a citi
zen and a friend wbo has not had the
go d fortucetobe ass ciated with you
in the work of your chosen profession.
"Much has taken place in this coun
try which we have called our home for
many years since thai October day
when you first set foot, in Skagway.
\ ou found this town a straggling camp,
hanging between tide water and tho
bead of Yukon navigation, with a part
ly constructed railroad upon which we
ha I builed our hopes to make this the
irnt-eway to the Klund.rfe connect inc.
The history of that railroad before jour
appearance upon the scene had not
leen encouraging, to say the least.
Difficulties unknown and unsolvablj to
the layman had beec encountered to
such an extent that packers with mules
and bob-sleds had been able to trans
pori freight to Bennett, cheaper than
could our railroad of great hopes. For
weeks trains were moved only when
shovelled from snow slides and drift*,
and. apparently, everywhere there were
leaderless and helpless men. With
your appearance the situation ? as
changed. The application of your
practical experience, splendid abilitief
and strong and forceful nature, which
hypnotize difficulties and make them to
disappear as disanpeared the troubled
mobs of ParU before Napoleon's artil
lery, wrought, wizard-like, tho magic
which caused the *:ates of our port to
stand ajar, permitting the tides of com
merce to flow without let or hindrance.
"But you were not conient wiih doing
well the work you camo here to do.
As greatly as you achieved in your
capacity as a railroalmaj it is as a
citizen that some of us like to think of i
you. There has been nothing to come!
up that counted for the advancement of j
our town and its surrounings in a busi- j
ness way, a social way, in the way of
clean sport and wholesome amusement
or in any other way but that you have
had your strong shoulder at the wheel. I
You have been ?ine with us in every- j
thing that counted for the improve- 1
ment of our conditions In any manner. ,
Our joys have been your joys and our
sorrows your sorrows.
"But above all else we love you for
own sake. In your work as a railroad
man and a citizen you have been a
leader as one apart from olbt re, yet you
1 have drawn no I'.ne of exciusiveness
' about you. You have never said, 'I am
! Sir Oracle and when I ope my lips let
1 no dog bark.' A while ago I said you
! have been one with us. You have been
i more. You have been of us You
have been what wc call a '-mixer," and
we have all come to know you very well
because of that. And when I say we
i have come to know you, let ma say al?o
that we know no 111 of you. We have
found you always without guile, with
out any of that finesse or indirection
that leaves one coming in contact with
it in doubt. Instead we have found
you open, frank and manly, standing
squarely upon your two feet looking us
in the eye. We have fouod you as
j great in honesty and as big of heart as
you are strong and capable. We haTe
found you a man worth tying to and we
