 Women Real Pioneers
 Juneau was no exception to the historic rule that pioneer life was harder on women than on men, as was interestingly and amusingly demonstrated by Mrs. Simpson, whose father owned one of the first trading posts established here. Women then didn't attend teas and bridge parties oy go to matinees or evening shows-there weren't such things And if there had been, time would not have permitted the women to indulge in them. There were no modern facilities for doing housework and homes were simple primitive affairs.
 Her own pioneer home was Q frame house built of rough-hewn lumber put up green and when winter came, the boards shrank un- til an inch separated each board My mother has told me many 8 night she lay awake and prayed that we children did not freeze before morning as the snoY sift- ed in through the cracks" Ms Simpson recited. Rugs were aa un- known luxury and bear skins cov- cred the cabin floors in lieu there of.
 Water was packed from the hill- side streams and springs by the menfolk, and Saturday bathnigh! and washday Monday were real tasks in a family of ten children -It took a week 10 get ready foi bathnight and week to clean ur after it." she remembered.

 Great Fur Market

 Petty crime was unknown. Min. CTS and trappers left their pokes With the merchants for months at a time without asking or need l ing receipts and it was as sase az if deposited in the soundest of banks. There were no locks on | any doors, and no robberies. Source of Discovery
 Gold taken from the stream known now as Gold Creek by local Indians and taken to Sitka brought Richard Harris and Joe Juneau tc this district to prospect, MT. Beh- rends recalled. They found tht placer deposits and shortly after ward quartz in Silver Bow Basin Those who followed them to build the first town were Cassiar min- CTS.

OLD FL00RS.CAN -.
BE RENOVATED
WHEN WORN OUT
BY BERTHA ANNE HoUCK

When floors become difficult to
clean, lose their freshness of color,
and develop a rough surface, it Is
time to paint or varnish them. These
symptoms should not be allowed to
develop to the point where an cX-
pcnsivc cure is peessary.
In prescribing for down floors
we divide them into two classes;
finished and unfinished. In the first
;,roup is the floor which has been
previously painted, vanished or lac
qucred. If the old finish Is in good
condition, the floor may be refin-
:nshcd without any other surface
preparation than thorough cleaning.
Sandpapcring, however, is always
advisable and is absolutely neces-
sarv when a var.Eshcd floor is to be
rcfinishcd with another: material
If vanished floors arc TO be
stained, it is necessary to use Il
paint aad vasnish remover to take
off the old finish. Waxed or oiled
floors must have their finish re-
moved completely with turpentine
or other grease remover. II the fin
ish is badly cracked or chipped, it
must be .sandpapcred or treated with
a paint and .varnish remover. The
surface is then washed with turpen
tine or bcnZinc and sandpapcrcd
when dry.
Old unfinished floors require a
different kind of treatment. First
they should he scrubbed thoroughly
with warm water and household am
inonia, the proportions being about
ono part ammonia to eight parts or
water. A stronger solution -niav s-As
seeded for grease. Spots and stains,
Occasionally these will be stubborn
as to require alcohol or IL spot re-
mover. Waxcd or oiled floors do not
require this kind of cleasing, but be
sure that the wax or oil has been
rcmored before. a ncH paint is ap-
.plici. Floors Of open gram wood
which have never been finished viii
require a paste wood filler, which
is brushed onto the bare wood. Soft
wood floors are sometimes treated
with liquid filler but this step Is
omitted by many painters.
