Sourdoughs Assemble
in the Coal Terminal
The town of Anchorage, the
coal terminal, is the Mecca that
is attracting scores of old sour
doughs from all parts of Alaska,
as well as from the Northwest
Territory. They are here, these
pioneer frontiersmen, from Nome,
Fairbanks, Iditarod, Ruby, Daw
son, Circle City. Juneau, Cordova,
Ketchikan, Valdez, Seward, Chit
ina, Skagway and other places
too numerous to mention. It
is perhaps safe to assert that
there is scarcely a settlement in
the whole of Alaska that is not
represented by a former inhabi
tant in Anchorage.
These hardy, independent, re
sourceful pioneers compose, in
large part, the history makers of
Alaska for the past score of
years. In the big gold camps of
the north, some of them were
among the rich mine owners of
former times. Some of the pio
neers are in business here; others
are employed »n the government
railway, while yet others are
“sticking,” around waiting for
“something to turn up.”
In making his daily rounds,the
Pioneer man came across the old
timers whose names appear be
low. The list is not complete,
but tends to suggest that the pi
oneer element predominates in
the new town.
Of couse, Jack Cronin is here,
and so is globe trotter J B Mc
Allister; so is Jake Young, Geo.
