Did you ever think what a tremen
dous influence hi the development of
our great territory the common tin
can has been? It should have had
center place oil the territorial seal!
In an article entitled “The Backyard
Glorified,” which appeared in a recent
issue of “The Spirit of Missions,”
a niOhthly magazine published in New
York by tt>e Missionary Society Of the
Protestant Episcopal church. Rev. E.
P. Ziegler of this city tells vividly and
interestingly sdffte of his experiences,
sorting over the hitman debris of the1
great backyard—Alaska ■
“In this backyard,” he Writes, “I
have been astonished at timeg to find
filled cans in good condition lying un
used; again, I have found some ha/f
used and thrown aside, some with the
contents about to spoil, some sour,
some ready to explode, many without
labels and hard to decide upon, and
some with false labels. It’s exciting,
also. I have thrown, by mistake or
sudden impulse, a perfectly good arti
cle into the pile, unable to rescue it.
Some rolled out and rebuked me for
my lack of good judgment. Some later
nourished me, and even saved my life.”
In Alaska, he says, the missionary
finds opportunities for the personal
touch which means so much in the
success of the work, and which is
often impossible Outside. “Inter
course is, I believe, much more per
sonal in a country like Alaska than
in the densely populated, cultivated
regions. The various strata compos
ing society are necessarily more often
thrown together—they must experi
ence the same pleasures, difficulties,
joys, sorrows. Money, station, or fam
ily can not change temperature, cli
mate or transportation facilities here.
Generally in Alaska the rich and the
poor eat out of the same dish and
dance to the same piper.”
The article throughout reveals the
sympathy, broad-mindedness, absolute
sincerity and absence of pose which
have won for its author a very warm
place in the hearts of all who know
him. There is nothing of the “prunes
and prisms” school about Mr. Ziegler.
Numerous illustrations help the
readers Outside to form an idea of
what our country is like. In his selec
tion of the photographs Mr. Ziegler
has done Alaska a service. Most of
them show summer scenes, such as
the flower-embowered rectory at Fair
banks, and long lines of men in ‘ice
cream” suits parading the streets of
Anchorage. There is much to uproot
illRr, unfortunate conception of Alaska
which has possessed the minds ol most
Outsiders ever since learned senators
in congress denounced the purchase of
“Seward’s ice-box—the island of Wal
russia.” One p&ftf shows the bb*y
fireside of the Red Dragon here in
Cordova, and the cover design of the*
magazine is a reproduction of Mr.
Ziegler's magnificent painting of a
mountain-scape, which hangs on the
wall at the Northland Club.
