Local Gun Grabber
Gets Hoose-gowed
A mania for collecting guns
without going through the for
mality of purchasing them has
brought a heap of trouble upon
K. Staiger, who has been here in
the camp for about a month.
Staiger was picked up Sunday
by Deputy Marshal Jack Hermon
• after it was found that he had a
half dozen guns that had dis
appeared from valley residents.
At a hearing Monday afternoon
before Commissioner Huntley,
Staiger plead guilty and was
taken to Anchorage where he
will stand trial.
Some Good Ideas
Joe Flakne of the Extension
Service suggests that now is a
good time to get your supply of
dirt for hot beds and flats for
spring.
Another suggestion from Joe
is that you gee your young pigs
onto the market. Fall pigs, he
explains, will not make profitable
gain during the winter months
on purchased feed. Lack of sun
shine and green food is a con
tributing factor.
The turkeys that were brought
in tor breeding stock are too
valuable for Thanksgiving din
ners. Why not a nice roasted
Pig?
Carl Drager, City Attorney, end
George Kennedy, Hardware mer
chant, were up from Anchorage
on business last Tuesday.
Knock! Knock! Who’s there?
Marietta. Marietta who? Mariet
ta meal at Sally’s that met with
her approval.
.Slaughter-House
Well Abandoned
‘ You can never tell about
wells in this country ” says
Forrest Kelsoe who is in charge
of drilling. The slaughter-house
well prompted that comment. |
Kelsoe and his crew drilled six
hundred feet to tap sa’t water!
at the site just below town, and
less lhan a quarter of a mile
distant is that fine well on the
old Dunklee place; thirty some
feet of fine water.
The well at the slaughter-house
has been abandoned.
A Pig Shoot? ? ?
Because of the strike situation
there will be no turkeys for
Thanksgiving tables, so how
about a “Pig Shoot?” Just as
much fun, and what’s nicer than
a nice roasted piglet on the table
with an apple in his mouth?
Within reason, too. The very
best fall pigs are only worth
about $1.00 for each week of age
or about the same per pound as.
turkey would cost. If interested
see John Kirsch or leave word at
th#e PIONEER office.
WILLOW
Jim Gleason snowshoed down
from Willow last Monday and re
ports five feet of snow. Gleason
had been working at the Martin
mine which has laid off its crew
of 22 men. He reports that the
bold Lord has {.Iso closed down
on account of a shortage of sup
plies due to strike conditions.
The Fern is still operating and
the Lucky Shot is working about
100 men.
Honesty Will Out
There really are some honest
people in the world after all.
Frank Ling used to sell Raw
leigh products back in the states
before he joined the colony
when it was formed. Last week
a follow came up to him and
paid him $1.10 he had been ow
ing for stuff purchased five
years ago.
When
Sourdough Sam sags the end of
the world will he here. . . .
When Colonel Ohlson takes a
trip to the states on Heinie
Berger's boat.
When Oskey Weeda is stumped
for a comeback.
When L. B. Jacobs loses his
temper. *
When Donald MacDonald turns
down a single-tax argument.
When Anton Anderson runs \
out of poetry to recite.
When Doc Albrecht gets in a
hurry.
When Harold Thuma gives a
direct yes or no answer to a
question.
When Horton finishes the Val
ley City Hotel.
When Dave Markham starts to
teach a Sunday School class.
