CIVILIZATION HAS
REACHED ALASKA
The Far North is No; Without the
Refiaemen's and Amenities
of MiIder Climates.

A bright and talented little woman.
Mrs. volney T. Hoggatt, wife of a promi-
nent lawyer Of Alaska, has passed the
last two winters at Cape Nome' and was
kind enough to tell a Post reporter at
the Risgs House the other evening some
thing OF her experiences in that quarter
of Uncie's Sans possessions.
You think" said she, that we have
no social life in Alaska? Well, now, let
me tell you that one month at Noma
would convince the greatest skepuc. and
one year could give such round OF
pleasure and experiences that the visitor
would forego all the allurements Of 2
more conventional city.
you ask if it is cold? OF course, it is
in winter. Cold has a trick of being
cold, even in Washington. But, you do
not mind that; you like it: you get lone
some without the winters cold.
Let me relate some questions that 1
can remember that peop.e ask me upon
| learning that I have just returned from
Alaska:
DO YOU FREEZE?
:" oh. my! have you been up in Alas
ka? Where? Oh! didn't you freeze:
What did you do to keep from freezing:
What old you do to Kill the time; you
had no amusements of any kind? And

| string of this sort OF questioning. Oi
| course, 1 try to give them ali the IN
| formation possible, but as l 90 SO, III:
| inuuisitive expression upon their lace
changes to one of surprise and doubt.
| Now, why should people have such a
| vague opinion of Alaska? 1t seems al
most incredible that some people do think
| that Alaska is the Land of Nowhere, I'M
inhabitable by civilized man. just because
! it happens to be the most north"ester!y
| portion of our republic. And they nave
never given it a thought. They never
go beyond the boundary line of their own
| little sphere. And yet. these people
would fight like a lot of bloodhounds II
any other nation would try to take Alas
| ka from us.
Nome is at this time the youngest ana
most progressive city in Alaska. Cover
| ing over two and d half miles along the
shores of Bering Sea, it is 2,1N miles
