WANTED? A GLACIER
Stroller White, of the Whitehorse
Star, is out with a very ingenious
scheme for attracting some of the
tourist travel to that part of the
country. Nature having long since
deprived the Rapid City of Its gla
ciers, if it ever had such attractions,
the Stroller has devised a method of
restoration.
He wants the bluff across the
river from town cleaned of strag
gling trees and then paintod over un
til it becomes a facsimile of the gen
uine goods ? a full grown glacier in
all its scintillating glory. It is his
idea that a painted glacier will with
stand the superheated atmosphere of
that vicinity better even than the
real article, if they use asbestos pain
Moreover, a glacier of this kind kind
would be further removed from the
danger of destruction by the depre
dations of ice worms, which are
known to exist around that section
iu great numbers. The Stroller re
cently started a subscription to raise
the required amount and is getting
anxious to complete the necessary
fund. Using the columus of the
Whitehorse Star, the Stroller says:
"Subscription s to the Stroller's
Glacier fund is coming in rather slow
ly, but those who understand the ob
ject are enthusiastic and some have
offered to double their donations if
sufficient funds are not subscribed to
begin work in the very near future
The scheme is this:
We must have something that will
cause visiting tourists to emit such
ejaculations as "How Lovely," "isn't
that sweet," "How utterly utter,"
"The dear thing," "I'll be gosh
derned," and other expressions com
ui*>u to tourists, and to ha\e them do
so we must interest them. The Stroll
er's suggestion last week to clear the
shrubbery from the hill across the
river opposite the depot and paint it
a glacier blue has beeu well recived,
but if the suggestion is to be carried
Into effect to catch any tourist bus
iness this season, there is no time to
be lost.
A few suggestions have been oi
fered that the Stroller gladly accepts,
one being that a few white objects be
scattered around after the blue paint
is put on, and that all local people
be Instructed to Inform tourists that
the white objects are mountain goats.
Another suggestion is that, while the
bluff is only 400 yards distant from
the depot, we agree to iuform all
strangers that it is fully five miles,
glacial atmosphere being very deceiv
ing. Also, tell it is not safe to at
tempt to cross the river in small
boats.
The person to wham the contract
is let for panting the bluff must be
instructed to make a few blurs which
will represent crevasses and we can
recite ? not forgetting to shudder fre
quently during the recital ? of per
sons who have crossed the river for
closer inspection of the glacier and
never returned. It might be well to
add that the supposition is their fea
tures are well preserved in their
ice-walled sepulchre.
As it will only be necessary to paint
the side of the bluff facing the town
and a few objects on top to represent
wild animals, it is believed the whole
thing can be done for a few hundred
dollars, and there is no reason why
a hand painted glacier should not
prove a winner.
Donations may be left with the
Stroller. They should be marked
plainly
'For hand-painted Glacier fund.'
NOME HAS ONE COMING
We have ordered our stamp mill
and the peoplo are commencing to se
UuU the Nome Quaru Development
Compa.iy means business. When the
mill arrives there Will be ore in plen
ty for it to commence i>ounding out
the gold and in the near future the
three stamp double, will be pounding
up rock that will lay a new founda
tion for Nome. We certainly need
one for the old timbers are not of
the permanent kind and are now
getting onto their "uppers" so to
speak.
All should help the good cause along
and remember that many hands make
light work. The only way to accom
plish results is to give the undertak
ing a good start so the momentum
will carry it along after operations
once set it in motion. ? Nome Nugget.
Now is the time when one's
thoughts natur&liy turn to dwell upon
ALASKAN SOUVENIRS and wh u a
desire to possess such takes an un
controllable hold on one. WE ARE

DESIRE. Alaska souvenirs of all
kinds, ancient and modern, souvenirs
that appeal to the tastes, that satis
fy both the eye and the pocket-book,
