WELCOME SENATOR PHIPPS
It is always with great pleasure that Seward wel
comes a member of Congress for in these personal con
tacts with distinguished leaders of our nation, both gain
a more intimate knowledge and truer prospective. Sew
ard’s citizens take particular pride in extending greet
ings to Senator L. C. Phipps, republican from Colorado,
and to his estimable wife, who will arrive in the city to
night on the steamer Yukon.
Contrary to the general belief Alaska has few ills,
no more or greater than any other State or Territory in
the Union. We are yet in the pioneer stage and with the
best of everything in the way of advancement facing us
in the future. Visitations by such men as Senator Phipps,
will do much to hasten the development of our wonder
ful homeland. We could ask for nothing better than that
the able Senator from Colorado, and his party, be placed
in hands of General Manager Noel W. Smith, of the Alas
ka Railroad, during his visit to this district of Alaska.
A SIDE-TRIP INCOMPARABLE
Tomorrow, a party of sixty people, a Burlington
Tours party, who are making a round trip to Alaska 02:
the S. S. Yukon, will spend the greater portion of the day
taking the railroad trip out to Lawing and to Spencer
glacier. Sidetrips, such as this, inauguated last season
by General Manager Smith, of the Alaska Railroad, has
paved the way for thousands of visitors to catch a brief
glimpse of other natural scenic marvels of Alaska.
First the splendid service and maintenance of the
railroad will be noted; the ever winding curves about mas
sive rugged peaks and through silent, eloquent valleys.
..with bounding white water dashing recklessly from
cloudy heights, will convey a message of its own. Who
knows but over the ground they will soon be speeding
raw gold in fabulous wealth may lay. The visit at Nel
lie Neal’s will delight them; the figure eight, high in the
mountains then the blue colored glacier
What a delightful surprise awaits the visitor!
TRIBUTE TO THE PROSPECTOR
Here he comes, with his overalls or corduroy, well
marked with toil. His whiskers are ragged and he has a
hungry physiognomy. Listen to his tale of riches to be
acquired if only the hole could be sunk deeper. ‘'Who is
the cuss?” Sometimes he is an individual who could re
surrect a sheep skin issued by Harvard. Often, he is a
plain American citizen with little schooling, but versed
in the lore of individual contact and being up against it.
.Nutty ?—Not much—only born with the pioneer in
stinct—the wandering foot—the ear w'hich hears only
the call of the wTild. Many of them? Yes indeed; many!
.Every, boy who hacks his name on the fence with a jack
knife is a relative of Daniel Boone, the same who in his
Kentucky cave cut “D. B.” on the rock-w^all of his refuge
from savages, there to be read with wistful feelings bv
those who nowT dwell in fair Kentucky.
The prospector is quite often a liar. He cannot help
it.,. The bright sunshine reflected from the snow masses
which cover his beloved rocks, the vast stretches of moun
tain ranges, looking like a frozen ocean spread before him
as he gazes from a star-striking peak; the vivid sunsets
he admires almost daily, the exaggerations of the atmos
phere; his national exuberancy and abnormal bump of
hope— all these make him a liar even with himself.
Blessed be the prospector, and may he, when his days
are numbered, depart to a realm where every rift in the
clouds discloses to his fascinated eye a pay' streak of
gold, and may he at least depart to a place where there are
plenty of canned Boston baked beans, and a sufficiency of
baking powder, sow bosom and flour; the prospector is
the man who finds the mines that furnish the gold for
the world to do business on. Curse him not, ve infidels.
