Haines and Fort Wm. H. Seward.
Churchill Hutton, little son of Cap
tain and Mrs. Paul Hutton of Fort
Wm. H. Seward, has discovered a
new species of animal which he has
named the Snookum. Many snook
ums live in and around Haines and
the Post and may bo seen in the
evening going to the tide flats for
a drink of salt water. The kind most
common is of a dark brown color and
growls as it passes people in its
path. This is the harmless bear
snookum. The snow snookum is
pure white and is fond of snow and
ice. If anyoue doubts the truth of
this statement a few minutes talk
with little Churchill will convince
the most skeptical that snookums
do really exist
