Women Real Pioneers Juncau 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 or go to matinees or evening shows—there weren't such things. And if there had been, time would not have permitied the women to indulge in them. There were no modern facilities for dcing housework and homes were simple primitive affairs.

Each year {more than 1,500,000 worta of fur was bought and sold here. Pelty crime was unknown. Min- ers and trappers left their pokes with the merchants for months at a time without asking or need- ing receipts and it was as fe as if deposited in the soundest of banks. There were no locks on any docrs, and no robheries.

A. Rasmuson, President of the Bank of Alaska, who was in Juneau last night while the Dorothy Alexander was in port. “People of Southeast Alaska are' articularly interested in the Al-| aska Railrad,” said Mr. Rasmuson, {“on account of its influence on the tourist traffic.
