TRAPPEDS INDIGNANT
A paragrapn appeared in the
News columns a few weeks a
j go to the effect that Alike
Knowles and A. Trim had left
for the head of the Chitina on
a hunting and trapping expe
dition.
Some busybody who knew
more than the trappers did,
sent a copy of our paper to the
Game Warden Ed. Youngs, with
the following notation-** If you
read between the lines this
means they have gone for beav
er and marten/’
Like most messages of this
kind it was unsigned, so Trim
and Knowles do not know to
whom they are indebted,
Ed Youngs visited McCarthy
last week before the trappers
I returned. When they return
ed last Tuesday they were ang
! ry to find they were so accused
I As they say — the life of a

high prices furs command no a7

such a pest.
LAURIE BROTHERS WILL
MOVE TO CORDOVA
Messrs. Laurie Bros., who for
nearly five years past have been
among our most prominent cit
izens, are leaving here during
this month to make their head
quarters in Cordova.
During the time they have
been in business here, their
clientele has spread over such
a large district, that thev find
it will be more satisfactory to
conduct their business in the
coast city.
The Laurie Bros, have leased
the corner building in Cordova
which has been occupied by
Kenny Holden and will conduct
an up to the minute clothing
store in that city. They will
reside in the apartments above.
Much as we like to know
these young men are extending
their field of business, it is
with very great regret that we
see them leave McCarthy, for
their departure will mean a
great less to our city. They
have always been foremost a
mong our boosters and ready to
help with all matters of benefit
and interest to the community.
Mrs. Sam Laurie and children
have been resident here for Sand
a half years and will leave a
large circle of friends. Her clev
er impersonations at our enter
tainments will long be remem
bered.
Mrs. Jack Laurie, who came
here as a bride last summer,
has been such an acquisition to
! society, she will be greatly mis
sed.
j
! The News joins their many
friends and customers in heart
| ly wishing them great success
j in their new venture.
