THAT RANCH OVER
THERE !”
As a part of the eulogy
delivered by Dr. J. Whit
comb Brougher at the bur
ial services of Will Rogers,
the clerygman referred to
a foreword written by the
humorist for the late Char
les Russell’s book, “Trails
Plowed Under.”
Russell, the Montana
cowboy artist, Dr. Brough
er explained, requested the
foreword, but before Rog
ers could “get around to it”
the author of the volume
died.
' bo Will wrote it in the
form of a letter”, Dr. Whit
comb Brougher said, “and
this is what he wrote”:
"There ain’t much news
here to tell you. You know
the Big Boss sent a hand
over and got you so quick
Charlie. But I guess He
needed a good man, pretty
bad. I hear they been work
in’ short-handed over there
pretty much all the time. I
guess it’s hard for Him to
get hold of good men.
"They’re jest scarce ev
erywhere ... I bet you had
n’t been up there three
days until you had cut
your old pencil and was
drawing something funny
about some of the punch
ers.
"I bet you Mark Twain
and Bill Nye, and Whit
comb Riley and a whole
bunch of those old joshers
was jest waiting for you to
pop in with all the latesl
ones.
“What kind of a bird k
Washington and Jefferson'
I bet they are regular fell
ers when you meet ’em
ain’t they Most big mer
are. I would like to see the
bunch that is gathered ar
ound you the first time you
tell the one about putting
the limburger cheese in the
old nestor’s whiskers.
“Don’t tell that, Charlie,
until you get Lincoln ar
ound you. He would love
that one. I bet you and
him kinda throw in togeth
er when you get well ac
quainted.
“When I get to think
about all of them top hands
up there if I could jest hold
a horse-wrangling job with
them I wouldn't mind foll
owing that wagon myself.
“You’ll run onto my old
Dad up there, Charlie, for
he was a real cowhand.
And I bet he is running a
wagon. And you will pop
into some well-kept ranch
house over under some
cool shady trees and you’ll
be asked to have dinner
and it’ll be the best one
you ever had in your life.
“Well, when you are
thanking the women folks
vou jest tell the sweet-look
ing little old lady that you
*now her boy back on an
outfit you usta rope for
and tell the daughters that
you knew their brother,
and if you see a cute little
rascal running around

“Well I can’t write you
any more, Charlie, the
darn paper is all wet. It
' must be raining in this old
bunkhouse.
“Of course, we are all
just a hangin’ on here as

know why we hate to go,
we know it’s better there.
“Maybe it’s because we
haven’t done anything that
will live after we’re gone.

HAVE YOU TRIED
COMAX COAL?
COMAX COAL is produced by the Vancouv
er Island Coals Limited, producers also of the fam
ous Ladysmith Coal. We brought in a sample sup
ply of COMAX COAL on the recommendation of
Mr. II. R. Plommer, General Manager, who visit
ed Nome last summer.
After investigating local conditions Mr. Plom
mer advised the introduction of COMAX COAL
on the ground of Economy and Elliciency. He pro
duced facts showing considerable saving compar
ed w’ith oil burning. COMAX COAL is extremely
high in heating value, and because of its strong
coke qualities, is long-lasting. It is not recommend
ed that this coal should be used except in those
places where a healthy draft is available, and in
this regard it should not be inferred because the
draft is on the fire, that the fire is burning to
waste. Of course, if the heat is not required there
is no purpose in exciting a fierce fire, but if requir
ed the more of the oxygen from the atmosphere
that can be consumed with the coal, the better
the results.
