The Butte Dally Post pays the fol
lowing tribute to a former townsman.
Thomas O. Noyes, whose death was
recently recorded in this paper, and
who had a large circle of friends in
Alaska, where he spent many years
in the mining development of the
territory:
Mr. Noyes was a victim of pneu-j
monia. Broken in health he came (
to Butte on December 2fl last, and a
I
few days later left with his wife and i
mother for St. Louis, here he entered
a hospital. He appeared to be on the
road to recovery and his friends here
hnd supposed that he would soon be (
back in Montana. He was. in fact,
convalescing, when he suffered an at— j
tack of pneumonia, contracted in the
hospital, and it was this that carried ;
him off. His health had been under-;
mined by the hardships of a prospect-1
ing trip taken recently in Alaska, and j
it was that that had brought him to
Butte in December.
For eighteen years Mr. Noyes had
been a resident of Alaska. He was
a pioneer of some of the more im -
portant districts in that northern
country, and had taken a prominent
part in the development of the ter
ritory.
As a boy none was better known
in Butte than Tom Noyes. He was
born May 2f>. 1874. in the Noy*s resi
dence. 47 Kast Granite, whicn is still
the home of his mother, one of the
best known pioneer residents of the
city. lie attended school in Butte,
and alter completing the high school
he went to the University of Michigan
at Ann Arbor.
On liis return to Montana he be
came interested in Alaska, where
many Montanans already were located.
On January 7. 1888. he married Miss |
Frances Batchcn at Seattle. That
same year he removed to Alaska. He
engaged in mining and he became one
of the well known men of the north- j
ern country. He operated at Nome, I
Skagway. Candle, and was a pioneer
of the Candle creek country, where
he made a fortune in placer opera
tions. He established a bank there.
Mr. Noyes’ home was on Tongas is
land, southern Alaska. From there
he made many expeditions into the
interior. He had prospected in the
Shushana district with some success,
and it was on another trip to a part
of Alaska that lie made his last trip.
This was a particularly trying experi
ence. An athlete skilled in the mode
of traveling and living in the far
northern lands, lie met with hardships
| of an unusual nature bn his last ex
pedition. They so wore him out that
ho was a physical wreck on his return
to his homo on Tongas island. In the
hope of restoring his health he de
I elded to come to the Slates. He was
accompanied by his wife and little
daughter. Bonnica. They went to
Seattle, where Mr. and Mrs. Noyes j
are very well known, and from that
city came direct to Butte. It was then
decided that Mr. Noyes would be bet
ter off in a warmer climate, and hej
was taken to St. Louis, leaving here,
after Christmas,
Besides his wife, little girl and his,
mother, Mr. Noyes leaves his brother.
Jack Noyes, and two sisters. Mrs.;
Arthur P. Heinze of New York, and
Mrs. T. J. Murray of Butte. The fam
ily is specially prominent, and Mr.!
Noyes himself was well known in |
Montana, on the coast and in Alaska, i
of which he may be said to have been !
a pioneer.
SENSIBLE MAN DOESN’T WANT
DOLL FOR WIFE.
A husband, if he is a man of sense,
wants his wife to be u companion, not
a doll. Miss Ethel Coldwell. dean of
women of the University of Washing
ton, told the mothers of high school
girls in a talk at the Lincoln high
school recently.
"I feel, personally, that the mar
ried woman la not only under obli
gation to administer her home ex
pertly, which means scientifically, but
to make an intelligent contribution to 1
the well being of the community,”
said Miss Coldwell. “Home making is
rapidly becoming a profession, and
training is necessary for nny profes
sion.
"Whether or not a college Is worth
what it costs depends upon the stu
dent. I have seen, as l)r. Jordan ex
presses it, a good many thousand dol
lar educations put on 50-cent girls.
'But,' some one mentally objects, 'I
do not intend my daughter to earn her
living; 1 expect her to be married, as
every woman ought to be.’ In that
case. I should say emphatically, more
training is essential."
-:o:
"1’ncle Sain is a great big fake."
If you do not believe the foregoing
statement the next time you happen
to be near Tanana Crossing ask any
native you meet and they will bear
it out. The natives of that section
ire peeved. They are more than
peeved, they are sore and extremely
so. Why? Because the territory of
Alaska offers a bounty on wolf skins
ItllU ilirii u\s*;a UUl |»a.T. * it
native of the interior does not know
nf any such animal as the territory of
Maskn, i>ut they do know about Uncle
3am and the difference between the
[\vo is too fine a distinction for them
:o understand. So they are sore at
L'ncle Sam. and the first chance they
jet they are going to get bark at hint
iood and plenty.
If Uncle Sam ever visits their sec
ion of the country and they catch
tint alone lie will be shot in the back.
>r will tie turned loose in the woods
without rlothes to furnish the piece
le resistance for a banquet to which
til tlie mosquitos in the Vukon valley
will be invited.
Mere is the reason for this hitter
reeling on the part of the natives.
Since the Alaska legislature passed tin
wolf bounty bill and nice large no
tices have been printed and stuck up
in conspicuous places all over the land,
nailed on trees, stumps and elsewhere,
the natives of the interior have been
mulling the question over in their
minds as to whether to send the skins
to Uncle Sam or sell them to fur buy
ers.
Finally two native boys decided to
take a chance, and two skins were
prepared and shipped, on one of the
Tatiana river steamers, addressed in
nice large letters, printed on them by
the natives themselves. Did they ask
any advice about them? They did
not. Uncle Sam wras well known
everybody knew him, and anything
addressed to him would go straight
to his house as fast as the boats could
travel. So these two wolf skins were
addressed In the large letters to
“Uncle Sam. Outside."
Tlie skins were placed in a boat in
the hands of a friendly member ol
the crew, and were seen safely on
their way by the anxious native boys
w'ho stood on the bank and watched
the steamer until she had passed the
bend down tlie river. That was the
last heard from the skins, and the
boys are very sore at poor Uncle Sam,
and he will have an awful time squar
ing himself with them.
The governor's office was notified of
ibis dereliction today, and now every
one concerned is scratching his head
In an effort to solve the difficulty and
Find out how to make the stock of
Uncle Sam stand high with the natives
igain.
