Mrs. E. F. Thompson, wife of
the Southern Pacific operator
in this city, is expected to reach
Hillsboro from Watertown, S. I).,
their former home tomorrow
evening. the great change
from that ice-locked region to
Hillsboro. where flowers fill everv
bush and the" cold of even an or
dinary winter is lacking, will un
doubtedly be duly appreciates.
Business at the depot of the
Southern Pacific in this city is
increasine neht along in pite of
the "hard times. " The sale of
tickets during November was up
wards of SJ.000, a gain oi more
than $500 over the same month
of last year. Freight receipts
and shipments are also increas
ing and there is less scarcity of
cars.
Washington county was well
represented in the business meet
ing'held in Portland last Sunday
to discuss the present financial
situation and the advisability of
calling an extra session of the
legislature, which was voted
down almost unanimously. This
county is almost always opposed
to extra sessions unless the need
is very urgent, and in this case an
extra session of the legislature is
not thought to be at all neces
sary. The ladies of the Congregation
al church will hold their annual
sale Saturday of this week. The

also refreshments consisting of
punch and cookies, colFee and

ANOTHER
LETTER
FROM MRS. WFATHtRRtD.
(Concluded From First Tage.)
to pick up some beautiful sam
pies of ore. It was interesting
to look along the walls and see
little pockets of real gold. We
were taken all through the big
mills and had it explained very
interestingly by Mr. Kensie. We
were then entertained at a dain
ty luncheon, the best part of
which I recall was plenty of good
rich milk. They have a herd of
c?ws th.at 8"ppiie? miik
! Tor th l.ircp txiarainir nousp.
We were taken through the club
house where everything is pro
vided for the pleasure and health
of the miners. It is well worth
the trip to Juneau just to see this
immense gold mine and its work
ings. Juneau is unique and pic
turesque. Like Ketchekan it is
sheltered by great mountains,
which at this time of year are
covered with snowr The Hawaii
an girls never tired of watching
the snow and icebergs, and their
only regret was they could not
get in a snow storm. There, too,
they wanted cold weather exper
iences and could not get it not
even on the last days of Novem
ber, and in Alaska at that
Our return trip was even more
enjoyable than when going. We
had a larger boat, a regular
queen, and one ot tne most com
fortable boats in which I have
ever traveled.
The delegates and all had some
annoying experiences in exchang
ing certificates for transportation
at Juneau, and cash had to be
dug up quickly. But few dele
gates had enough cash to jingle.
even when leaving Seattle. Some
one who had but little dignity
and much less sense, endeavor
ing to make a supposed-to-be-
joke, cabled something to the ef
fect that the Hawaiian girls had
to come down as stowaways.
Just why the supposed-to-be-
bright (?) reporter singled out
the Hawaiian party, no one
knows. Then to make it more
exasperating, another bright (?)
and intelligent (?) reporter sends
in the "news" (?) from Seattle
to the Oregon i an as a fact We
are still looking for this individ
ual, and we are glad tb state we
are not letting the narrow brain
of one person overshadow for a
moment the loyal, courteous and
dignified treatment of the press
and good citizens of Seattle dur
ing our stay in their delightful
and progressive city. As this
item has been the only one to
ruffle 'us during our long trip
through the Pacific Coast states,
Mexico and Alaska, we will try
to forget the stowaway message
and let the fact predominate that
the Hawaiian party was captain,
chief officer and all that consti
tute the "bosses" of a steamer,
Five of the best rooms, first seats
at the tables, and every Alaskan
was a nobleman.
And right here let me say that
if ever there was a finer lot of
men, possessing character and
all that makes them a man among
men and a gentleman among wo
men more than an Alaskan, it
belonged to the prehistoric age
and not this one.
Enroute to Seattle we again
stopped at Ketchekan and Wran
gle, but the most interesting stop
was at Metlakahtla, where we
were met by Father Duncan and
taken to his church where he
gave a very interesting and in
structive ttlk on his fifty years'
experience with Alaskan Indians.
This particular village is compos
ed of comfortable homes, good
business houses, schools and
church, and Father Duncan is
the only white man there. His
work has been something won
derful and remarkable. He is
one of our greatest heros. A
man of eighty, well and full of
energy, planing and working as
if he were only beginning me.
With hair and teard as white as
snow and saint-like appearance
he moved about on the dock, this
dark and rainy night greeting
passengers and bidding everyone
a welcome and an invitation to
come up into the berg. With a
antern on his arm he led tne
, . i t.:u fi-h tho
way, and up tne mn "
darkness we followed mis mes
senger of God to the house oi
worship. A leautifuland grand
structure, f!he work of Indians.
The pipe organ pealed forth in
the stillness of night and voices
from faraway Hawaii re-echoed
in Alaska. "Nearer My !1 to
Thee" seemed to unite in kindred
ties hearts and souls of two coun
tries. ,
As I recall the many incidents
of this trip it seems that in all
my travels there is none that will
stand out in memory with as
many interesting and pleasinu
features as the Hawaiian p:;rt?.-s
tour to AiasKa. mere was nev
er a dull moment on board - with
a banquet at morning, noon and
evening, and another one at 11
o'clock at night with games and
concerts, dancing and conversa
tion; well, all combined to make
life on a steamer perfectly love
ly. One evening there was a mas
querade ball, the costumes were
unique and pretty. S''"ra! of
the girls spent a day or two in
preparation. One costume was a

We reached Seattle regretting
our journey was not longer. It

four days.

He is very anxious to greet old
schoolmates and friends. 1 Io has

The Robley Male Quartet sang
in the First M. E. church to the
great delight of all. They are
all artists. Every number on the
program, as well as the encores,
was received with the greatest
delight. They ought to go ev
erywhere. Their work is novel,
unique and most effective. The
hits they make arc capital. I
commend them most heartily.
