ADDRESSED GIRLS'.,CLUB.
Mrs: (Dr:) Sloan addressed the
memb o
bers of the Guts Clu f Willi
eharch on Tuesday evening, telling
them some "of the impressions gained
during her eight years residence in
Alaska. Her talk was most interest-
ing and was:much enjoyed. ' by those
present.
tA.DIES HEAR ADDRESS.
Dr. Sloan, who has spent several
years in Alaska and who, with his
wife and little daughter, is spending
the winter with his sister, Mrs, We --
ley Walker in Clinton, addressed the
members .of the Travel Club and a
few friends at the home, of Mss.
Gunn on Saturday, evening. IIis talk
proved to be. a most interesting and
instructive description of life and con-
ditions in a vast and eoimparativeiy
little, known 'territory belonging to
the neighboring Republic.
Dr. Sloan might almost be termed
an "Old -Timer' as it was in 1900
that he went to Alaska and condi-
tions were vastly differentthen from
what they are at present, Iie has re-
sided at Nome, an up-to-date and
progressive town, near the Artie cir-
cle and almost within sight of Siber-
ia, which, however, was during the
gold rush sone years ago, a much
moro busy place than it is now.
Their school system, civic conditions;
ote., seem to compare favorably with
those in other and less isolated
parts of the Republic and but for the
fact that there is no communication
with the outside world during the
long winter months, life there would
not be so much different from that
of many other thrifty towns.
When Dr, Sloan went to Alaska
there was not an inch of railway in
the territory. Travelling was alt
done by dog train in the winter and
by ivatcr in the. shell summer or by
trail overland. The speaker: told of a
thrilling experience he had when sur-
rounded by'a pack of angry dogs
while 011 his way to see a patient,
Dr. Sloan spoke of the vastne:•s of
the country and the various climates
at different points, in seine places, he
said, being superior to that of Can-
ada. In the region 01 Nome., howev-
er, the summer is sihort and the
weather in winter extremely cold.
Dr. Sloan does not pose as a mar-
tyr at all because he has sustained
life in that far-off frontier of civiliza-
tion for so long, bowel er. Ile main-
tains that a white man can live
wherever a savage can, 'though the
easiest thing to do under some Cir-
cumstances is to die. The constant
struggle is to maintain life. 'There-
fore the 'weaklings are killed off, the
frontiers have no place for weaklings,
and only the fittest survive. IIard-
ships are all in a days' work and if
you happen to have a strong consti-
tution you get used to 'em, so to
speak.
The speaker: had a miniature sleigh,
which he said was an exact model of
the sled used in Alaska and it was a
marvel of good workmanship. Iie al-
so had a sealskin coat, pair of legg-
ings and pair of mitts made by the
Eskimo women 'and which he assured
the ladies were the. usual and coin -
mon garments turned out by them.
The fur was tanned by them and nev-
er: was fur more soft and pliable,
and they were beautifully sown. In-
deed, so excellent was the workman-
ship that it might not be a bad idea
for some of the large fur hous-
es in the cities of Canada
and the United States to import
some of these workers to handle the
finest of their work. It seemed all
the more wonderful when it was
learned that the native women make
their own needles and thread, "It
is not necessary" remarked the
speaker`, "to learn a trade in a big
factory in a large manufactutlt e
town. All that is needed . is th'
men and women he isolated long
enough from the outside world and 1
they will learn, in Uhe natural evolu-
tion of things the best possible way
of doing the work necessary fortheir
needs." To illustrate further what
he nceant he exhibited a chatelaine
watch shade front tiny gold nuggets by
a jeweler at None. It was an exquis'-
ite bit of workmanship and a' Dr,
Sloan remarked, "could not ihave been
turned out by the best shojis in New
York," IIe also Passed eroued for
inspection a half -pound nugget of yel-
low; a
1 M gold just as it had .nen .linked
up from the ground and as one told
the bit of precious metal ' fn one's
hand 'and turned it over 0)10 ' could
understand in some measure why
men and women will risk so mach in
-the>hope of obtaining an unlimited
quantity of it, gold has a f tsci.neeioii
]which nobody can quite understand
A, geed' medal with a red Bross
ename0ed upon it, presented to the M
Dr, by the; corporation of Nonce, was
also, a fine piece of craftsmanship.
Alaska is now an organised terri-
tory and has a legislature of its own.
The first laws passed for Alaska rtyc
its own legislative body were pas: ed.
in March of 1913 and the very Hist
law' on the statute book was ane
granting universal suffrage, ]'lure 1
are not many women: u) there," re-
marked the Dr., "so we're not afraid
of them," Also he t:eln u:lcad- that
the women had not asked for the suf-
frage.
Dr. Sloan spoke in 'the highest terms
of the native Eskimo char at ter, which
did not improve when they learned
the naughty thins which the `blies
g Y g w
can, and to their shame be it said
do teach then. •
At the conclusion of the address
Miss MacDougall and Mrs. Bredone
moved a vote of appreciation to the
speaker which was most heartily en-
dorsed.
