LAMENT

clothes since Mariar Jane is dead,
To carry water, cut the wood, or
help pull the sled—
When it comes to pullin' with the
dogs she wuz as good as two;
I alius figgered I'd a team with
Towser, her and Blue.
The hand of death is no respecter
of the love of man an’ wife
The loss of poor Mariar casts a
shadder o’er my life.
His eyes was gettin' leaky, and per
haps it wuz a sin—
I had to turn my head away to kiv
er up a grin;
His cultus wawa started me to re
memberin’ the day
He chased the old gal with an axe,
and how she switched the play
Bv annexin’ a Winchester—she
buffaloed her man;
When she monkeyed with the lever
ol' Scroggins “also ran”,
But he seemed to think that my
emotion wuz a credit to my heart,
So he nodded to the booze clerk an'
made another start.
When the Arctic panacea had van
ished down his neck,
He proceeded with his story and
dealt right through the deck;
You see, he sed, it was this way: “a
year ago last fall
I decided we would winter just be
low the mouth of Dahl;
I knowed I had to hurry fer ’twas
gettin’ pretty chill,
There was shore ice on the Yu
kon and snow upon the hill—
You remember that the mountain
there is mighty steep and high;
It looks as if the top of it reached
mighty near the sky.
I went up about a mile or so and
cut my cabin logs,
Next day 1 started Mariar out to
sled 'em with the dogs;
I told her to be keerful when she
got down half way,
Cut out the dogs, make a rough
lock, and she'd git by okey.
The day before I cut the house logs.
workin’ like a hoss;
I was takin’ things some easy, an’ a
thawin out the moss;
I was smokin’ an’ a thinkin’ when
I heerd an awful yell,
An’ that old gal was coming like a
arrer straight from hell;
She had a skookum load of logs, hut
I couldn’t understand
With the rough-lock and the gee
pole how the load got out of hand.
She seemed to be a techin’ ’bout
every fifty feet,
An’ the warwhoops she was let tin’
sure wuz hard to beat.
She wuz ridin’ on the gee pole, with
the rope around her neck
And I ’spected every second that the
sled would surely check.
But it kep’ a cornin’ faster an’ I
surely was surprised
!I stood there jest a gawpin' lik*. I
wuz paralyzed.
I hearn of Ol' Jack McQuestion and
some other old galoots
Tell of a gag in ’Frisco, an’ they
called it shoot the chutes;
I 'lowed it was some speedy, an' 1
don’t dispute it still.
But it wasn't one, two, seven, with
Mariar down the hill.
She shot down past like lightnin
and fore I could move or think
She -footed 'cries the shore ice and
landed in the drink.
The Yukon has a current there of
seven miles an hour
An' the savin' of Mariar was beyond
all earthly power;
My boat wuz half a mile away, up
a little slough,
An' Mariar and sled and load were
quickly lost to view.
Two miles below I found the sled
hung on a gravel bar.
But no trace of my old woman, tho'
I hunted near and far.
She went to feed the salmon that
fed her all her life.
An' every salmon I have et since, I
thot of my dear wife.
In lookin’ round the wreckage I
discovered right away,
What caused Mariar’s trouble when
she tried to stop the sleigh;
She'd hitched the rough-lock sure
enuf but, like a fool, by heck,
'Stead o' hookenin' round the run
ner she'd hooked it to her neck.
Yes, tiie old girl is gone. I'll never
see her likes again,
I'd a sooner lost old Towser than
to lose Mariar Jane.
The above, poem first saw the
light when it was read by George
Dooley at an Eagle Smoker in Cor
dova. Mr. Dooley, who had the or
iginal manuscript, said the poem was
written by James Dickson a loco
motive engineer who worked on the
Alaska Central and had quite a re
putation as a poet. He first called
his poem “Mariar Jane” but later
changed the title to "The Squaw
Man’s Lament’. Numerous requests
from oldtimers outside have been
made to have it published once
more. Save this, as it is too long
to republish. Some of Dicksons
poems rank with those of Service,
and are epics of Alaskan pioneering
-Valdez Miner.
