THE ARCTIC BROTHERHOOD
GREETS THE PRESIDENT
introduced by Chairman w. I. Perkins,
the President Talks to Alaskans at
Seattle.

pany, Alaska Steamship Company, Pa
cific Clipper Line, White Pass, Yu-
kon Route. Northwest Commercial
Company, Northern Commercial Com
pany, Pacific Packing & Navigation
Company and the North Star Line.
These passes were given to the Presi-
dent in the hope that even though he
may not visit Alaska in the immedi-
ate future the souvenir will impress
upon him the number of companies
already engaged in the transportation
business in the North.
AS soon as the presentation had
been made Mr.. Perkins stepped to the
front of the stage and said:
Men and women of Alaska:
have the honor of presenting to you
the President of the United States"
When the cheering had quieted
down again the President began to
talk, and he told the Alaskans the
things that they wanted to hear.
He told them that within the last
year or two the people of the other
coast were beginning to understand
something Of the great country in the
North and that Congress was begin
ming to appreciate its responsibility
to Alaska. In very few years he
said that he expected to see Alaska
not only a duly organized territory,
but a great and hourishing state.
During the last session of Congress
he said that many good laws had been
pat on the statute books, but other
laws were needed. among them one
that would give Alaska delegate in
Congress who could speak with au-
thority for her needs. Until that time
should come, however, he said that
with the assistance Of the senators
and congressman from that section OF
the country he pledged himself to do
all in his power to shape legislation
of proper sort.

Des Moines, May 29.-Hundreds OF
families We're driven from their homes
by floods which during the day close
ly approached the unprecedented rec
ord of last year and continued to rise
with such rapidity as to render it ap-
parent that last years record would
soon be surpassed. At the Sixth street
bridge in North Des Moines the gauge
is within six inches of last years rec
ord of 21.4 feet. In the heart Of the
city the gauge indicated approximate
ly 10 feet. The water is rising at the
rate of two inches an hour, Reports
from above Des Moines indicate that
last years record has been surpassed
and, the water rising at a startling
rate.
All night scores of men patrolled the
river banks, strengthening the levees,
while many more We're employed in
removing inhabitants and household
goods from the bottoms.
At s o'clock the levees on Maurice
street gave way before the floods Of
the Des Moines river, swelled by
those of the Raccoon, and $50 houses
were flooded IN an incredibly short
time, forcing the inmates to run for
their lives. The Raccoon is keeping
pace with the Des Moines and has
devastated many square miles of ter
ritory in the southwest portion of the
state.
At 9:45 the center span Of the $685.

At Seattle President Roosevelt was
greeted by large number of Alaskans
and he not only gave them audience
but he spoke for half an hour to them.
The Post-Intelligencer of the 25th
says:
At the Grand Opera House last
night President Roosevelt met the
Alaskans and the members of the Are
tic Brotherhood and this morning thev
are his.
He talked to them about the present
and the future of the great territorial
possession of this country in the
North, and after it was all over the
man in the crowd told the man next
to him that the President understood
the condition of things in the North;
that he seemed disposed to go in and
do what he could to help out and that
when he began to gather headway he
looked like hard man to stop.
The Alaskans left the hall pleased
with what the President had said to
them, and the President said that he
was pleased with what the Alaskans
had done for him, and he looked as
though he meant it.
1t was 8: so o'clock before the Presi-
dent reached the Grand on his return
from Everett AS soon as the pro-
longed cheering that followed his en-
trance had been stilled, William T.
Perkins, chairman of the executive
committee of the Alaska presidential
reception committee introduced to the
| President A. j. DAILY, who in behalf
of the Arctic Brotherhood. presented
to him in a few words the gold pan.
, made of Alaskan gold, emblematic OF
the order, and handsomely bound
copy of an address that accompanied
| it. The address was printed on silk
and bound in white leather, with the
corners cased in scroll work of solid
gold Mr.. Perkins then offered to the
| President in the names of the Alaska
transportation companies passes over
the several lines. These passes were
| fastened between gold covers in the
| form of a tablet.
On the outer cover was engraved:

ByO. +. FELLOWS.
There's deeper green appearing
Ger the rolling prairie wide;
There's stronger, swifter current.
In Missouri's swelling tide.
There are freshening winds at morning
When the day in spIendor breaks;
There are songs of lark and robin,
As the sumberng earth awakes.
But the spring in all it's beauty,
Song Of bird, and wind and rain
Wake no more the sleeping columns
In the churchyard on the plain.
Weary now, they rest from marching
To the sound of fife and drum.
Nevermore to start or Waken
Till the last great call shall come.
Peaceful be the warriors slumbers,
Fower-bedecked his honored grave;
While above, forever cherished
Freedoms flag shall proudly wave.
Let US guard it as they left it
It is ours to make or mari
God forbid its folds be crmsoned
Fer again by cruel war.
Gather then from field and prairie.
Bringing flowers of white and red;
Strew with lavish hand the aarlands
Ger the unforgotten dead.
Red, for brotherhood and friendship,
White, for everlasting peace,
With the blue Of heaven to witness
That our strife forever cease.
So shall come the day of promise,
Speed it, o ye summer hours
When earth's battlefields shall blossom
Into fair and fragrant flowers;
Bringing to the stricken mourner
HalIowed memories Of the slain,
Who for right have nobIy struggled
None of these has lived in vain.
