Prosperity
ine prosperity of any communitv depends very largely upon the
:./pv ration manifested by the many individuals and institu
forming the community. ri here can be no lasting prosperi
v or genuine progress in the 5i e of any community without
i,.inest cooperation between all elements that in any way affect
ne common welfare.
So it is with Alaska. No one section of this great land can
r tosper for long at the expense of any other section; all construe
ve efforts must be so coordinated that but one outcome will re
■ ult—Cooperation; and Cooperation means Prosperity
It is the constant aim of The Alaska Railroad to at all times
render such service as will best serve the citizens of the entire
Territory.

» . . BOY SCOUT DANCE
I The Boy Scout Benefit Dance
at the Sons of Norway Hall on last
Saturday evening was one of the
biggest success of the year.
The dance was given to raise
money enough ten help the boys buy
their uniforms. Each boy is to
pay for one-half of has outfit and
the balance is to be taken from the
- treasury. The loyal support which
5* the towns people gave to the af
i*
;♦ fair and the generasity with which
p
|» the merchants and musicians met
> the requests of the boys, made it
► possible for them to earn enough
to meet the expense.
During the intermission the
[ Scouts put on a demonstration of
l their drills, and the snap with
^ which they were executed attested
'l to the earnestness and sincerity witn
'l which the boys are taking hold of
£ their work. Their Scout Master
l Dr. Dan Standard, presented the
J ^roop with a beautiful U. S. flag,
► a gift from Mr. Trigvy Strom, one
- of the assistant Scout Masters.
, The pillow which the American
1 Legion Auxiliary donated to the
| troop to be raffled, brought in
\ twenty dollars, tickets being sold at
* 10 cents a chcance.
* The Troop and their leaders wish
| to express their sincere apprecia
1 tion for the loyal support which
’ made this dance such a financial
l success.
IN CIVILIZED FRANCE

■■ 11
I Certain Southern gentlemen of
l ten prate of lack of civilization iD
» the aboriginal element of Alaska.
» For their special benefit we pub
* iish the following from Paris pa
►
» pers.
* “Father” Auguste Guillot lived
► in the villiage for 78 years, until he
* was finally beaten to death by those
* who feared him.
* The villagers held that animals
shunned Guillot, that a baby who
touched him had convulsions, and
-that a curse was upon him. They
called him the “thrower of spells.’
Last fall as he passed through a
field Angele, and 18-year-old shep
herdess, was convinced that the
< calves and lambs were terrified, so
she set upon him with her staff.
{Her brother came to her aid, and
they left the old man senseless up
on the field. Next morning a
crowd, no longer fearful of him,
beat him as he lay o nthe ground.
He was taken to a hospital three
days later, and three months after
ward died of his injuries. The vil
lage is rid of its “sorcerer” but the
villagers apparently have no con
sciousness of their guilt.
FURTHER HELP FOR FLORIDA
SUFFERERS
Responding to numerous appeals
for assistance, Robert T. Crowe, of
Louisville, Ky., the Great Icohonee
of the Improved order of Red Men,
has issued instruction to the nation
al headquarters of the fraternity at
a station at Miami, Florida, for the
further relef of the victims of the
tornado which swept that country
last September.
The Improved Order of Red Men I
was one of the National organiza- j
lions which went to the assistance |
financial and otherwise, of the suf- j
fers of last falls’ storm, and with
the expenditure of much effort and
considerable monqy,, it was believ
ed at the time that the more serious
problems of the tornado had been
met. Reports received by the
Great Icohonee, however, are to the
affect that while much relief was
extended, yet the distress ofmany
families did not develope until
months after the catastrophe. It
is these latter groups which will
now receive the attention of the
Improved Order of Red Men. A
distributing office for the Order
will be reopened at Miami during
the next few- days and new sup
plies of food, clothing, and other
necessities of life will be issued.
