THE HEART OP THE
SOURDOUGH
There where the mighty mount
tains bare their fangs unto
the moon,
There where the sullen sun-dogs
glare in the snow bright',
bitter nooni,
And the glacier glutted streams
sweep down at the clarion
call of June.
There where the livid tundras
keep their tryst with the
tranquil snows;
There where the silences are
spawned, and the light of
hell fire flows
Into the bowl of the midnight
sky, violet, amber and rose.
There where the rapids churn
and real, and the ice-floes
bellowing run;
Where the tortured, twisted
livers of blood rush to the
setting sun —
I’ve packed my kit and I'm going,
boys, ere another day is done.
I knew it would call, or soon or
lute, as it calis the whirring
wings;
It’s the olden lure, it’s the
golden lure, it’s the lure of the
timeless things,
And to night, oh, God of the
trails untrod, how it whines in
my heart-strings!
I'm sick to death of your well
groomeu gods, your make-believe
and your show;
1 long for a whiff of bacon and
beans, a snug shakedown
in the snow;
A trail to break, and a life at
stake, and another bout
with the foe.
With the raw-riobed Wild that
abhors all life, the Wild that
would crush and rend,
I have clinched and (dosed with
the naked North, I have learned
to defy and defend;
Shoulder to shoulder we have
fought it out—yet the the Wild
must win in the end.
1 have flouted the Wild. I have
followed its jure, fearless,
familiar, alone;
By all that the battle means
and makes J claim that land
for mine own;
Yet the wild must win, and a
day will come when 1 shall
be overthrown.
Then when as wolf-dogs light
we’ve fought, the lean
wolf land and I:
Kought and bled till the snows
are red under the reeling sky;
Even as lean wolf-dog goes down
f will I go down and die.
Service
continued from page 1
after the announcement of my
selection by President Coolidge
as governor of Alaska, such as
I received in Washington over
the wives from the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce and Anch
orage citizens, made me feel
good. It is a wonderful feeling
to be far away from home and
receive the welcome L did from
the territory of AlasKa,”
Continuing, Governor Par
ks said, “To be successful in
helping to administer the affairs
of the territory of Alaska I must
have tlie hearty cooperation of
all, and I feel I am going to get
this. Alaska has be«n calling on
other people to help us. Let us
start in and help ourselves, make
constructive suggestions and all
pull together. I wish to thank
you all for the kindly demonst
ration, and assure you I apprec
iate it.
