New Collection Alaskan Verse Is
Kiplingish But Priceless: Davs of
Early Prospecting, Adventuring
Another assimilation of Alas
kan verse has come to hand. It
carries a flowing title^ “the Pio
neers and the Nuggets of Verse
*They Panned From The Gravels
of the Past.” It is compiled and
published by Clarence L. An
drews, of Seattle, one-time Alas
(kan and editor of “The Eskimo,”
a quarterly magazine devoted to
the “forgotten man” of the rein
deer industry.
The collection is uniqu and in
teresting. It is based, of course,
on the old Alaska—the land of
the grizzled prospector, the sour
dough, the rough-and-ready who
drifted out of the Klondike in
search of new diggings. And that
is really the only complaint to be
made against the book. It does
not hear the clear, impelling call
of the new country, where gold
is found not ir. bonanzas but in
perspiration and hard work.
As a record of the days of Klon
dyke, Annie and Killisnoo Jake,
it is the best Alaskan anthology
yet published, by far. Interspers
ed between the poems are tales
of Alaskan cities of long ago, as
recalled by Andrews. He says
this of Juneau and other towns:
"In 1892 Ketchikan was a saltery
on the rocks. Skagway was one
cabin owned by Captain William
Moore, Dvea was a trading post
belonging to Healy and Wilson,
and Petersburg had not been
dreamed of.
‘‘Kasaan was the showplace and
Muir Glacier was the scenic won
der as a place of call. Three
steamers the "Queen,” the "Mex
ico" and the “Ctty of Topeka” fur
nished the transportation and
they sailed from Portland.
“In Juneau, the street, the only
one, ran along th waterfront.
Martin’s curio store was the first
to greet the traveler, with a little
black bear on a post as an intro
duction. Behrends, the pioneer
merchant, was there, and Olds
had the Occidental hotel. Pilz,
the first mining engineer under
U.S. regime had gone, after being
the real founder of the camp. The
Treadwell boasted 240 stamps, &
Nowell was promoting the pros
pects that have since led to the
great Alaska Juneau mine.
"The Log Cabin Church was
on the corner where the cement
structure of the “Zynda” (Hotel
Juneau) now stands. Valentine,

early mariners, Kendall, the fur
tradei^ Thorp, the cattleman, and
Indian fighter from the Yakima,.
“Slim Jim” Winn, the first thea- j
tre operator and others were,

The book is not strictly confin-1
-ed to Alaska. Into it creeps a
memory of the “Days of Sixty
Two,” the covered wagon, and
even Bret Harte's tale of the
"Russian eagle,” Rezanof, and his
Spanish sweetheart.finds a place.
Then comes a unique assort
ment of prospector’s verses,about
half of which are rhymed to be
sung in tune with Kipling’s"Road
to Mandalay,” which was obvios
ly a favorite among these pio
neers.
Examples:
"I got off at Eagle City
Where the Dawson steamers
land.
Where there are no Ten Com-1
mandments
And the customs Brokers stand.
“On the road to Tananay
Where the Customs Brokers
stay
And they pull the miner's poke
strings
On the road to Tananay.
“Put me off at Circle City
By the Yukon's muddy shore
Where Bate’s cabin with its booze
Lights,
Shines a welcome from the
door.
“Where the Siwash dogs and
maidens
Daily gather round the well
And the sign proclaims to Hea
ven,
In case of fire just ring like—"
“Come you back to Michael Bay
Where the old stern-wheeler
lay,
Can’t you hear their paddles
chunking
From LaBarge to Michael Bay.
“Come you back to Michael’s Bay
Where the big belungas play
And the sun dips down at mid
night
In the old St. Michael’s Bay.

Weather Today
(U. S. Weather Bureau)
Cloudy and unsettled weather
continues generally over Alaska
except fair skies were observed
in southeastern Alaska at the
morning observation. Rainfall has
occurred during the past 24 hours
over the Tanana Valley and por
tions of western and southwest- |
ern Alaska.
High air pressure covers south
ern Alaska and the north Paci
fic Ocean while low pressure
continues centered around Point
Barrow. This distribution should
result in a continuation of cloudy
and unsettled weather for Nome
and vicinity probably with show
ers tonight and Wednesday with
little change in temperature.
The lowest Nome temperature
last night was 46 and the. highest
yesterday 52. A trace of rainfall
was recorded.
