 PIONEER WOMEN
Interesting Program Re- calls Early Days in Alaska

The largest gathering in Juneau of real old-timers for many years assembled today as the guests oi the Juneau Woman's Club at their Before '98" luncheon in the Luth- eran Church.
 Mrs. R. R. Hermann, who presid. ed at the luncheon as toastmistreSs paid tribute to the valiant and courageous women who came to Alaska before the days of '98, and expanded upon the theme of the luncheon, And they built a great country in far land"
 She introduced Mrs. Anna M. Snow, one of the real pioneers of Juneau and Alaska, who told of her adventurous trip to Juneau aboard the wheeler Olympia in 1887.
 Early Days
 In spite of the fact that there were few aids to navigation in those days, Mrs. Snow said, the Captain of the Olympia brought the little ship to Juneau in "A hours. She told of the early days in Juneau when the town had one steamer a month, no telegraph, and time was kept by the Catholic priest, who took the time by the sun, when there was a sun. The few white children here at the time attended St Ann's school or the private school kept by Miss Marian Murphy and Miss Kitty Jensen, who was later Mrs. J. c. Held. The Snow family brought to Juneau its first real drama and had an exciting time in Alaska in the early days, when MT. Snow directed theatrical performances in Juneau and at the capital at Sitka where they gave their repertoire at Baranof Castle. There was an in terlude when Mir Snow left for the gold fields of the Interior and Mrs. Snow, with her children Monte and Crystal, waited for six teen months before word was re- ceived that he was well, happy and would return in the fall.
 All to Interior
 Next time MT. Snow went to the Interior, his family went alonq made the perilous journey over the summit of the White Pass and down the Yukon River to Forty Mile and Circle City where they remained for several years and ON their re- turn to Juneau in 1898, found il grown to twice the size 1t was when they had left.
 Other speakers on the program were Mrs. David Waggoner, who told interestingly of Pioneering the Missionary Field, and Mrs. M. A Wittemore who addressed the group on The New Pioneers"
 Vocal Solos
 Two vocal solos were sung by Mrs John Chapel, accompanied by Mrs Carol Beery Davis. Mrs. John Livie accompanied by Mrs. Robert Rice presented two violin solos, The Serenade" by Franz Schubert and "Af, Sweet Mystery of Life,9 by Victor Herbert
 Guests of the Juneau Woman's Club were:

With the advent of November, ones thoughts naturally turn to the Thanksgiving season, and after that comes December and the Christmas holidays. Most of us, whether you look at the situation from a bus mess or social standpoint, must be prepared for anything ahead, which seems to be the slogan of many mo- tourists who depend upon our Esso service to keep their automobiles in shape for travel in all kinds of weather.
 People as a group and indi-
 vidually, are a great study. To
 me, there is nothing more fas-
 cinating to see and talk to the
 fellow, and get his viewpoint on
 this, that and the other thing.
 To give you a slight idea of the
 people from many walks Of life
 who agree on the quality, con-
 venience and service of our Cot
 tage Place station and what 1t
 has to offer consider the fol-
 lowing:
 Pockets full of papers, which for him, means in line of duty though containing plenty of bad news, no doubt, is Sheriff Frank McCann. who gets around faster than pin wheel. Closely related in a profess sional way, Co the business of being deputy sheriff is a young and popular attorney in the person of Clarence Balanda. who visits us over the weekend prior to trip out of town probably to one of the football games. in which he seems to be interested more than a little. still another branch of the law in the person of Patroiman Al Foss- bender was among those present within the past two days. all set for c nice drive on as fine a Sun day as we have had in more than a month.
