AX< HORACE, ALASKA. FRIDAY, AUGUST Ho, DIR.
LABOR DAY.
The people generally are beginning to realize that tile man
who earns his bread by the sweat ol his brow is worthy ot con
sideration and recognition a- a rerv essential part ot the activi
ties of life. Nowadays, we look on the man in the overalls with
respect not unmixed with admiration, because lie is doing his
share in the world's work and is not a drone or shirker like
some of the white-collared gentlemen who profess eontempt for
employment that might spoil their dainty hands, and who
would prefer to be a drag and an encumbrance on the commun
ity, rather than seek an honest livelihood by hard and honest
toil.
In harmony with the changing sentiment with respect to
the laboring man, the congress of the l nited States has by law
set apart a certain day—called Labor Day-—and throughout
the vast domain of this great and glorious country, this day
will be fittingly observed by appropriate ceremonies and ex
ercises.
Anchorage, as an up-to-date community, proposes to cele
brate this day. The Alaska Labor T nion, an organization
composed of nearly all the employes on the government rail-1
way project, is taking the initiative in the matter, and an ac- i
tive committee is in immediate charge of the preparation of
the program that will be given. It is very fitting that the la- >
boring men should take the lead in the observance of this day,
because it is essentially Labor’s day. But every resident of
Anchorage and this vicinity should lend aid and encourage
ment to the occasion, showing their friendly attitude toward la
bor and their respect for the men who toil. (
All of us cannot be laboring men. Some of us are in the
professions, some of us are storekeepers and merchants, others
are hotel keepers, while others are engaged in the various voca- |
tions in life. We who belong in this category are not laboring
men in the accepted sense of the term. But while we are en- ;
gaged in other lines of endeavor, useful, too, under our rather ■
complex mode oi' living in the present day, we can take pride ■
and pleasure in joining with the laboring men of the commun
ity and contributing our part toward making Labor Day •
a fine success in every respect.
The Alaskan Engineering Commission is doing a gracious
act in announcing special excursions on the railway line, to en
able all the men employed in construction work to come to
town and celebrate Labor Day. Business houses generally will
close ami official business be suspended.
The weather being propitious, it i< certain there there will
be more people in town on Labor Day than on any preceding
day in the town's history, and it will tax the capacity of the
hotels, lodging houses and restaurants to- care for the vi-itors.
But we’ll make room for them and extend a cordial welcome.
May the weather man smile benignly on September 4—La
bor Day. '
THE CALL OF THE NORTHLAND.
In a recent magazine number of the Seattle Post-Intelli
genoor the following story on “Alaska, and the Traffic to the
Wonderful Northland” is from the pen of II. M. Ayres, whose
description of conditions here is the result of a visit to the ter
ritory. Among other things the author says:
“Many men have gone to Alaska; many have made their
fortunes in the streams or the bowels of the earth and taken
the toll of yellow ‘back to the states’ with a linn determination
to remain where the lights shine brightest and enjoy the wealth
gained by hard toil. That inclination seldom lasts for any
great length of time, however. The call of the northland is <
echoed to the wanderer, and is too strong to be overcome. <
Sooner or later they 'go back in,’ only to find that the spirit of ;
discontent 'till remains with them. The states may offer their <
best in the way of bright lights, musical comedies, congenial
companionship and everything else that goes to make life
worth living, but there is a certain spirit in the northland that
is found in no other part of the globe. It calls and the man of
the north answers.
“•lust what the call is would be hard to explain. "Mystery
is the keynote of the north- -mystery and silence. Anti because
ot it- mystery and silence those who have lived through the
cold winters of Alaska, with the ice and snow and silence, or
the wonderful summers with the midnight sun and beautiful
scenery, are never satisfied elsewhere. The old friends have
changed ‘back in the states,’ but the friends of Alaskan days
never change. The hearty welcome and handshake always re
main the same.”
CONSIDERABLE ACTIVITY.
Things are on the move around here. Three months ago
Commissioner Conroy left for the mines, Ennis was named to
take his place temporarily, and now Woolley has been desig
nated the permanent appointee. City Attorney Cop; ■ rnoll
was elected and shortly left for the east, the council naming
dudge Green in his place temporarily; then Coppernoll 1 turn-,
ed, Green dropped out. Coppernoll resigned and Green was reg
ularly elected to the office last night. During the winter 1
uty (T. S. Attorney Whittelsev was removed from Seward to
\ aldez and now comes the report on good authority that he
IS to hf removed from \ al ley and his nlnoe taken Kv_ Atfornov
