Br Et Kealon Hamilton. fth knew boom days In Medford too Klondike Kate Roc V well, "belle of th Alaska dance ball, queen In the land of the sourdough," whose engagement to John Mataon was re cently announced as culmination of a 93-year romance. It was 20 years ago she appeared In the Rogue River valley Owney Patton remembers well. "I rang the doorbell' he told the story this morning. "I won't tell you where. And there stood Kate." "She says, "What Owney, you here?' "And I says 'Kate, I'm here I'd have known her anywhere. Some fel low had a crush on her, but I'm not tellln you who. ,"6he used to ride by and doff her hat, kind of soldier style. And talk to me, when there was no one around. Just the same old Kate, that took the Chllakoot pass In 1698. "I almost went with them Med ford's little Irishman declared, shift Ing hi pipe and gazing across the car parking lot he guards on North Central. Then he waded Into the story of the gay party of singers and dancers that left Spokane In 'P8 for the Klondike, which brought "Kate1 tame, fortune and sorrow. "I knew Kate well when she was 16 or 10. Her father was a Judge in Spokane and she played In the old variety theaters. Vaudeville, you call It now. That's when the excitement came, and they all hit for Alaska. Kate was a fine look in' girl and could take care of herself In the pinches. Bbe bad to, to take the Chllakoot pass. That was tough traveling. "I couldn't break away, but my friends all went. There were the La Moore sisters. All three of them, by turns, married 'Swift Water BUI one of the most famous men in the Klon dike. One time eggs went up to an impossible price and BUI bought them all. : Nobody had eggs but 'Swift Water Bill and the LaMoore slaters Turning back to Klondike Kate, Owney continued, "Alexander Pan fages went up there, too, from Spo kane. And he struck It rich. It was in the Klondike that Kate married him. Then he became the show mag nate and Jilted her. But I' m not sayln anything against him. We'll forget t.v "Eddie "O'Brien and wife were my favorite team and their daughter, Annie. She was the champion buck and wing dancer. The best tapper In the world, next to Lula Beeson. Rich ard K. Fox owner of the Police Ga zette, which has also gone out of style, put up the medals and those girls could dance. "Annie O'Brien was made mascot of the second Eagles lodge organised In the United States and I was vice president of It. When she went Into the Klondike, she didn't forget us. 8he sent ua presents galore. A big stuffed eagle, a fine gavel. The first night she danced In the mining town they showered her with 1000 In gold. Her folks had to help her pick tt up. Her dad played the concertina and stamped his foot. That's all the music Annie needed. She came out with (85,000. She's married now and set tled down In Philadelphia. "I knew Lon Chancy then, too. He used to play at our place. All those fellows did. "Klondike Kate danced and sang and did acts with partners. She was really a brunette, but tried to blonde up a bit several times. But she was a good girl, then. She set Pantuges up In business. I never liked him and he never liked me. I was young and free then and I used to give the girls a swing around, myself. "They were a happy lot. Happier than folks today, who have millions' Owney puffed again on his pipe, send ing rings far into the sunshine. "Poor one week, the next fn satins and lace with feathers In their hats. But al ways the same. I remember the wo man who played the negro wench in 'Birth of a Nation knew her as soon as she came on the screen. She got ner start sewing for the girls. "I never heard of the sourdough Kate's marrying. But he knows who he's gettln Pan tag-a was her first husband. I'm godfather to his son-in-law, John Con&adlne, Jr. His father was In the circuit for years, known ss 'Sullivan' and Consadlne Big Tim Sullivan was killed by a train. They slmost burled him In the potter's field and then some guy, like me, came along who knew who he was. Do you know what he used to do for the Tammany gang? Charter a boat, take them to Coney Island and buy out the place. Spend 10 and 13 thousand on a party and then they slmost burled-him In a potter's field. "And they talk about great men today. They never saw any. I'm not claiming that was any Sunday school crowd. But they never shook the lit tle fellow down." Owney stretched himself to his greatest stature. "They always shook down the big guy. Then they wonder why it's such a great country, well, they've never seen it as Owney has." C. OF C.
