8aturaay June 25th 1921.
We have a dog in our neighbor
hood that can outyap anything
between here and Dawson.
It yaps in short staccato barks
with a bloodcurdling whine at
the end.
The whine was not so bad at
the first quarter of the moon or
at the half, but from the half on
it was some whine and when the
moon^reached the zenith of its
power a lew nights ago one won
dered when the dog drew breath.
This being an unincorporated
town no local laws are in effect;
governing such cases. Henry
Olsen, the mayor, says it is out
of his jurisdiction and if the
town ever did become incorpor
rated, he would pass the buck,
he meant the dog, on to some
one else.
Andy Taylor, of Chisana city
is a first class man with dogs
but unfortunately he took the
boat reet ntl.y for the Siberian
coast on important business and
we dont know when he will re- (
turn; and the dog is still yapp
ing.
Too Much Johnson raised dogs
i
I
for fifteen years aud then sold
them at a handsome profit, so
he would have been well quali
fied to ACT as Referee in
any yap question that might
come up,were he here.
The proper and correct way
to keep the dog from yapping
would be to chain it up across
the creek where at present there
are no residents, and people’d
not notice, for its yapping
noise would be drowned by the
roaring of the creek.
To move the dog that distance
legally costs so much per foot &
as you cannot spend what you
have not we will evidently have
to go withoutour sleep lor some
time to come— while the dog still
yaps.
