of the poor doomed animals?
Those Angora Goats
Do you remember the woman with
the six Angora goats? The two
men with the ox that packed the
big load. The two men who arriv
ed with the big wheel-around with
which they constructed a frame
with handles at each end—lashing
their outfit on either side of the
wheel—and how it threw the entire
load on one man when the wheel
dropped in a hole in the trail’
Were you there the morning a
man placed a big load on a steer
and the animal started up the tent
ed trail tearing into first one tent
then another, depositing a slab of
bacon, a tin pot, sack of beans, ap
ricots, dried apples or desicated
eggs at every jump and leaving be
hind a smoke screen of Hour?
Did you hear Percy Hunting re
cite “The Raven?” Bob Wetzel
pick the banjo? And I wonder if
you ever staked Babe Wallace to a
stack of chips at the black jack
table? How many of you waltzed
to the bar with the Oatley sisters
—or heard Sweet Marie warble
“Sweet Bunch of Dasies?” Did you
contribute to Cad Wilson’s nugget
belt? Did you throw a dimond
hitch on the Oregon Mare or the
Montana Fillie? Remember the
night in Dawson when “Sweet Wat
er Willie" was staged? And the
night Nigger Jim started the down
river stampede?
Remember how we used to pay a
quarter ounce of gold dust ($4) for
coffee and doughnuts at the mouth
of Hunker? The beans are burning
so I must stop reminiscing.
There have been several Alaska
pioneer organizations—the first be
ing that of the "Yukon Pioneers.”
This included the oldtimers of the
Circle City, Fort Yukon and Forty
Mile districts. The second organize
tion was the “Brotherhood ft Alas
ka Pioneers” organized in the Kod
iak-Afognak and Cook Inlet dis
tricts. ,
The present active organization in
the Territory, “The Pioneers of Al
aska,” was first organized in Nome.
This organization has an. active
membership in excess of 2,000, has a
grand lodge — or as it is called,
grand igloo. There as 20 subordin
