. SAD EXPERIENCE
, OF ALASKA GIRL
4 A 17-year-old Fairbanks girl was
sent by her parents to California for
the purpose of acquiring an education.
She got it, but not in the manner her
parents anticipated. After a few
weeks in school, she married a man 30
years older than herself. This hap
pened last fall. Before the time for
planting onion sets and setting spring
hens arrived, the young wife had left
her sere husband and was suing for
a divorce. She obtained it only three
weeks ago and the other day she was
in Gastineau channel on her way back
to Fairbanks. She acquired the edu
cation all right. The moral to this is
that, while it is perfectly right to
send young girls from Alaska to the
states to acquire educations, discre
tion must be exercised in the selec
tion of girls to send. If they have a
penchant for men 30 years older than
themselves—well, there are lots of
men that class in Alaska, and trans
portation comes high.—Ex.

HAD DELIGHTFUL
TRIP OVER ROAD
Mrs. Alice E. Anderson, Miss Juliet
Stryker and Miss Juanita Anderson,
stopping at the Parsons hotel, told
a most delightful story of a fine trip
they have just taken along the gov
ernment railroad and to the Willow
creek mining district. To say they
were treated with hospitality doesn’t
half explain the courtesies they re
ceived.
Although they were often tola la
dies’ could not be accommodated they
said they invariably found the best
of accommodations.
One of their fondest memories
seemed to be of Ira Brown’s place at
Moose creek. Of course. Brown’s
place represents the par excellence
of up-to-dateness and the scenery
around that point would beggar a de
scription.
The girls said real nice things about
the cosy cabins the ranchers have, and
spoke enthusiastically about their
crops.
Mrs. Martin’s hospitalitv was dwelt
upon at length. They told of the tent
erected and floored and furnished for
them, of the fascination of seeing real
gold bricks retorted. In fact they
showed a thorough knowledge of j
mines and mining.
And the memory of mile 12 and Mr.
Thorp was most pleasantly recalled.
The mushrooms which grow there are ;
most delicious and it seemed a speci- ■
ally nice kind of trout makes the ae- j
cent of Cottonwood creek for the ben- j
efit of the people in that vicinity. The |
girls spoke of Mrs. Van Orman at j
Mile 16, remembering her thought- j
fulness in regard to having a lunch
ready for them upon their arrival.
The road house at 31% was also
mentioned.
According to Miss Anderson won
derful results have been acquired by
the A. E. C.
And the fact that she has made a
study of civil engineering at the
University of Washington surely
places her in a position to know.
In concluding their remarks the
girls said that every minute of the
trip would be to them a pleasant
memory and they surely hoped to
make it again next year.
