A WORD IN TIME SAVES NINE
PIECES OE CLOTFING
FROM YOUR LINE
These ere Victor Johnson’s
words, and they arc well taken in
view of what has haonenod out at
Tract ^97 recently. rTere’s Vic’s
letter.
’’Last Thursday night we looked
out of the window and saw a fellow
taking down the clothing from the
line, not stoooing to take a niece
at a time, hut grabbing off line
and all, intending to make a com
nlete haul.
I raised the window/ and he took
off through the woods in haste.
Previous to this v/c had six
garments taken from the line and
this vans the second offense.
I reso^ct the fine Ale.skan Open
Door Tradition, but am convinced
there is one sneaky theif in the
valley and am waiting for him to'
return.”
Victor Johnson
Nervy cuss to invc.de the Tract
whore 6 school teachers live, mak
ing .just that many more chances of
being detected. Tiinda foolish,
too. Might not have been anything
’cent school ma'am's unmentionable,
on the line.
Seriously, though, sneak their
ery is one thing we don’t went hem
in the valley. Alaska has been
comparatively free from this tyne
end let everyone do his utmost to
catch or identify any culnrit at
tempt inn to steal, no matter how
minor the theft.
Lineman Farrin has brought in
the telephone call list from the
booth at the road junction just
north of the Butte cection. It
has boon punctured with six .22
rifle balls. The rohonc line had
been shot out on both sides of the
booth within a mile either way.
Footprints in the snow showed that
two men had participated in this
niece of vandalism.
It docs’nt seem possible that
anyone could be so thoughtless as
to deliberately destroy such im
portant communication as the Butt
line 3 but someone certainly did,
It would take a visitation of
just providence to properly pun
ish such a person. He should suf
for a most painful accident, and
have to bear that pain for hours
upon end...all because it would t
impossible to reach the doctor bo
cause of the wilfully destroyed
lino.

have no more right to own a gun
than a baby to own a razor.
