UP MEN'S and BOYS' OURSHOECLUB NOW HAS 4,376 MEMBERS! "The Family Shoe Store" 107 S. 4th Shelton duple By NANCY WINTERS HOODSPORT - On an Alaskan cruise celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Gold Rush and the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Alaska Yukon Pioneers went Mr. and Mrs. Dave Farcy last month Three hundred and seventy five passengers, pioneers and former residents, boarded the ferry Wickersham, of the Alaska Ferry Line to cruise the Inland Passage. Oldest of the pioneers was Pete Jensen, 98, and included in the passenger list was General Jimmy Doolittle who had promised his wife 60 years ago that he would show her the fabulous Inland Passage. Another elderly lady remembered the Yukon Trail when as a girl of 12, she had accompanied her father into the Gold Rush area on guided tours. The cruise was organized over a period of several months by Budd Clark who chartered the Wickersham for her last trip to Alaska. The Farcys saw the trip advertised in a Seattle paper and since Dave had worked at Kodiak in the forties they signed up. The trip took them to Ketchikan, Wrangell and Sitka. At Skagway they left the ship and travelled on the White Pass Railroad to White Horse in the Yukon Territory. From the train they could see the Gold Rush trail. People turned out en masse in the towns to greet them. High School bands large and small welcomed them and they were entertained with programs and refreshments. At Skagway they were given a supper and the people of Petersburg had prepared delicious Swedish dishes topped off with Alaskan King Crab. At Skagway they saw the Archangel Dancers performing Russian Folk dances and at Haines they watched the Chilkat dances; Indian dances which until recently were forbidden to the white public. Their fellow-passengers, though mostly in their late seventiesand eighties, were spirited and friendly and delightedas children as old friends came down to meet them in towns along the way. Meals on board were good providing variety and tasty appearance. "We came home ten years younger and ten pounds heavier," says Mrs. Farcy. The Wickersham will not be used on the Alaska run again but will be taken to Holland where it will be refurbished as a cruise ship in the Mediterranean. Canal neighbors Niel and Mary Simmons and Jim and Helen Simmons had visitors from Oregon last week. Their brother Jack and wife Peggy vacationed in Alaska and stopped on their way home for a few days. They helped celebrate Mary's birthday Sunday.
