Monster Parade
Feature of Labor
Day Celebration
It starts with S and ends with an
S, the intervening letters properly
placed spell the word Success. The
morning after is similar to entering
some “banquet hall deserted” and the
decorations, flimsy, cobwebby dresses
and best suits are put aside for an
other day, another time; the flag, the
glorious flag of our country is taken
down, furled and laid away for anoth
er occasion when the band will play
and the spirit of patriotism causes
the heart to beat and the feet step to
inspiring, soul stirring music made
only by the strains of AMERICA.
From yesterday morning until the
morning after there is only one of
Webster’s words that fill the bill and
is appropriate to the occasion and
that is SUCCESS.
For nine long, consecutive days Old
Sol was resplendant in his glory and
the posters advising Anchorage citi
zens of California weather were su
perflous for the same 7,000 citizens
hail ample cause to feel that the fickle
God governing the little rain drops
would be consistent and make it ten
days and the tenth be a perfect day.
It was a perfect day and to this end
the committees in charge of the Lab
or Day celebration, headed by Charley
Peters, sustained and abetted by the
remaining 2,999 members of the Alas
ka Labor Union toiled and labored in
cessently. J. Pluv should have been
born of the other sex so He could
have been referred to as She, ever
fickle, never to be depended upon and
! never bankable. At exactly one min
! ute past twelve Sunday night it rain
| ed; it rained on the just and the un
just alike; it played no favor; Is anil
fell upon the Alaska Labor Temple
and on the office of the Daily Times;
it rained big drops and small globules
which fell in the new Edes harbor an I
swelled the rushing waters of Ship
creek. Some of the rain fell on
Christensen road, some on K street,
but most of it landed on Fourth av
enue and Recreation Park. This same
power governing fogs and moisture
and acqueous precipitation of the at
mosphere does not follow the creed
of the blue bonnets for the synonym
is hypocrocy and this word in un
known to the followers of predestina
tion and preordination.
oijut-fuuiifv ur even luiies uiy, ivion
tana, may be able to pull off a cele
bration as good but there is no chance
for these criterion cities to surpass
yesterday’s performance made possi
ble by the members of the Alaska La
bor Union. Seward, Fairbanks or
even Knik refuse to enter the running
and future attempts to emulate yes
terday’s celebration will i the
unanimous support of Anchorage.
Starting witn nine malairmtes led
by “Ketch,” also a pioneer, th? parade
leaving Labor Union hall, on the min
ute, was the forerunner of the big La
bor Day celebration that ended with
the successful culmination of the
dance, making it one great, grand and
glorious day for which the Alaska La
bor union deserves all credit.
Following “Ketch” and the other
eight dogs pulling a home-made sled
carrying a precious package of infan
cy portraying the manner of early day
transportation of valuable parcels and
driven by A. Korth, came the Leo au
tomobile carrying a much more preci
ous parcel of virgin femininity, re
splendent in her beauty, radiating
happiness and good cheer to the old
timers of this country who ever point
with pride and speak with love and
respect of Babe White, the daughter
of Cook Inlet.
The idea of evolution of transporta
tion from the early pioneer days of
dog sleds to the present day of auto
mobiles and rapid transit was splen
did and was especially well received
by the crowd of people who lined both
sides of 4th avenue from K to C
street.
In order came a representative of
the days of early Alaska pioneers
with three dogs hitched to a sled that
carried only the absolute necessities
of trail life on the wild stampede from
“Tubetulic to A M M Aluc Tuc” led
by a trail blazer on the gee polo and
followed by his Tillicum partner.
The 65 Pioneers of Alaska dressed
the part, carrying picks, shovels and
packs followed and told the story ot
Alaska’s advancement and develop
ment in a characteristic manner.
The judges awarded the “bed dis
play of Alaska’s flowers” to > Bud
Whitney but the legion of frienus of
this estimable family claim that Bud
himself copped the prize sever: ars
in Nome. The Whitney display of
j wheat, rye, oats and garden tiuck
bearing the sign of “The firs ' re
seeder on Ship Creek” was g.nal
and worthy of mention.
The float of Mother White’s deserv
edly won a prize. This float described
the trading of the early days with
Mrs. Martha White dressed in the
costume of the times with a fur cap
and coat, surrounded with seven Tv
onic Indians and an exhibit of furs,

Johnston’s Ferry was represented
by a row boat on a wagon frame with
the redoubtable Captain Johnson and
the pilot guiding the craft.
The float representing the govern
ment railroad was next with a party
of railroad builders carrying the tools
of construction, with a push-car load
ed with coal and farm products of the
Matanuska valley and Miss Myrtle
Austin seated on the throne of Justice
beautifully portraying the character
of the Goddess of Liberty, with Uncle
Sam standing in the center. Mrs.
Dixon’s character of the results of the
European war and her make-up signi
fying poverty and the crippled condi
tion of the people was good.
The members of the Alaska Labor
union and made a splendid showing,
making it easily understood why the
Labor Day celebration was a success
as are so many other issues undertak
en by this body of representative cit
izens. The float of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce advertising the
resources of the country such as Wil
low creek gold, Chicaloon coal. Mata
nuska farm products and other re
sources deserves special mention. The
automobile of the Universal Transfer
company carrying a load of children
was well decorated. The Inlet Soda’s
float with a large bottle in the center
of their delivery wagon surrounded by
smaller bottles was a good display of
this “made in Anchorage” enterprise,
The beauty and grace of Anchorage
wore the becoming and expensive
gowns of the Style Shop. This float
was really fine and brought forth
much applause from the crowd on
Fourth avenue and the decision of the
judges in awarding them a prize was
well received.
Carrol & Co., displaying boots and
shoes with leather tacked around the
entire float was good.
The Montana Pool hall was repre
sented by a miniature pool table, soft
drinks and pennants.
The Loyal Order of Moose was the
only fraternal organization repre
sented in the parade and the showing
of this order was creditable.
The float of Shonbeck*s grocery
store divided first prize with the
Chamber of Commerce. A Ford run
about well decorated with wheat, rye
and oats and with a delivery wagon
t ailing loaded down with a splendid
d lay of fruits and vegetables was
, f the best floats in the parade.
automobile advertising the Twc
Gi VafTle House was decorated
waffles fro. i the wheels to the
body. Two young waffle chefs occu
pied the back seat, getting off a very
good and original display.
Brown & Hawkins were represent
ed by one of their automobile delivery
wagons well decorated and carrying
the sign of “United Labor Moves the
World” in addition to the company’s
well-known sign of “B. and H.”
A transfer wagon carrying a bunch
of children with the sign of “outfitters I
for the U. S. railroad builders was j
next in line.
The ice wagon filled with large i
cakes of ice followed. W. P. Fuller & !
Co.’s display of paints, varnish, brush-;
es bearing the sign of “everything
that goes on with a brush” was good. J
The float of Sundberg’s grocery i
store showed a happy and contented
family at a meal and signified that
this store is a loyal booster of Alaska '
products.
The float of Peterson’s Pool Hall j
showed players seated around twoj
card tables.
Carsten’s Packing company was ■
represented by their delivery wagon, j
well decorated.
The float of the North Side Lumber i
company consisted of a large transfer |
' wagon piled high with lumbar, garden
i tools and household effects with the
; contented cow tied on behind. The,
idea of this advertisement was effect-;
ive and bore the sign of “Bound for
the Matanuska Valley from the North ; ■
Side Lumber Company." i
Newt Pilger’s float was worthy of i
especial mention and displayed a
large white sox of Pilger’s stock. The
sides of the float bore the clever
wording of “P. S. No B. S.” in large j
leters with smaller letters reading,
“Pilger’s Stock no Bum Sox.” The
Bank Pool Hall was in line with an
automobile carrying a Punch and Ju
dy show.
Members of the Bird Creek Lumber
company rode in an automobile and
Polley Bros, were in line with a well
I decorated delivery wagon.
John Frame and McNeice as trail
blazers led the parade, which was a
splendid result of Anchorage business
men enterprise.
Several of the merchants had floats
ready but did not enter on account of
the weather and there should have
been a larger representation of the
business houses but taken as a whole
the display of floats was creditable
and the parade a distinct part of an
extremely successful Labor Day cele
bration made possible by the mrj -
bers ofthe Alaska Labor Union.
