THE ALASKA WOMAN
The very nature of woman’s work places her in
the background but not so with the old sourdough, the
prospector or trapper. Every move they make is re
corded. Very little is heard of the loyal, trusting and
uncomplaining helpmate oft referred to as the better
half. Undoubtedly, they are.
For weeks past we have been groping about for
a proper tribute to Mrs. Robert Johnston of Seward.
During those weeks we have seen Mrs. Johnston day
after day, sometimes with a small son beside her, as
sisting her husband in actual construction work of
of their home-to-be, just over the Fourth Avenue Low
ell Creek bridge. We have seen her, as we passed by,
wielding a shovel in the foundation trench; we have
seen her packing lumber and doing many other things
of similar nature. And the boy, too.
Can anyone doubt the destiny of this glorious land
of Alaska when women of this sturdiness stand shoul
der to shoulder with their men-folk?
The Gateway feels that it is a privilege to make
this brief record of one of these reserved Alaskan
women whose kindly administrations, devoted loyalty
and self sacrifice are largely responsible for the carv
ing of frontiers.
We salute you, Mrs. Johnston.
OUR BARGAIN IN ALASKA
When Seward bought seven million dollars worth
worth of alleged icebergs in Alaska, the purchase was
almost defeated on the ground that the country would
be good only for its furs. That has proved true. The
fur trade has much more than paid the cost of the
whole Territory.
Considering that the Territory is nearly three
times as large as France or the German empire, it
looks as if Seward got a pretty fair bargain for his
seven million, two hundred thousand dollars.

High School Saturday night would j
;have noticed that it was all lit up 1
ilike a church, and for a good rea
son. The high school students were
having a party.
One half of the attendance were
j guests and the other half of the
'students gave the party. The rea- |
son for the party was that the “Foi- j
ly Drive” ended last Friday after- j
|noon at 3:30 and the losing side of;
'that Drive had to entertain the j
winning side.
The party started early in the j
evening. Games were played and j
stunts were performed by each 1
prize which was no less than a J
side- The winning side received a J
inice box of beans- Later on came j
dancing and last but not the least, ]
|the eats which consisted of cake
'and ice cream and lemonade.
The party was a great success
and was thoroughly enjoyed.

The recent visitation to An- j
chorage of a Seward business man
was the signal for much whis
pering as to what his real pur
pose was in that dty following
so close upon the heels the
Senatorial investigation. Certain
Anchorage folk were informed
he was in the market for five
miles of rails—when they are
torn up; that he intended to
run a track up Marathon moun
| tain as a sight-seeing attract
ion.
