Moccasin Tracks
These moccasin tracks have
nothing to do with the kind we
used to see in the snow around
Bill Taylor’s tent last winter.
’Member the time Chief Tay
lor ran out to see where the fire
was and found that it was his
own tent? Well, he was in his j
underwear that time. If this
ever happens again, we are in
formed that* Bill will appear in
blue and white-checked pajamas.
Who’s the lady, Bill?
His Dignity, Jack O’Connor,
parked by the roadside between
i lie lviiik Bridge and Anchorage
. . . a fan1 damsel beside him
. . . no lights. Travelers report
ing him at different points.
(Questioned, Pack said his
eights burned out . . . that he
parked for safety’s sake every
time a car approached.
All right, Jack, we’ll let you
get away with it this time. A
check-up reveals that the boys
at the road camp really DID
give you some new bulbs.
Mr. Joshua P. Hannon (J.
P. to you) has been talking about
llie colony so much over KFQD
that he thought he might as well
come up and have a look at the
place, so he has driven up a
couple of times recently. And
we understand he had other
reasons for coming.
Wonder who sent Shcely that
can of soup and half pound of
hamburger a couple of days aft- j
e. he had all those teeth pulled?
Bill llallett, who pinch hits ;
for Deputy Marshal Jack Her-]
men, refuses to believe that it!
u as mice that got into his desk j
drawer and took his big .45 Colt
ail apart. At any rate we hear 1
he has written back to thefac- i
tj.y tofind out how to put the
cannon together again.
Deputy Marshal Jack Her
mon, looking like he had a clue,
talking about gun thieves, severe j
punishment and besmirched
reputations. All because he had ,
mislaid his six-shooter out at j
Jimmy St. Clair’s place. Pshaw I
Jack, no one would steal a mar-!
shal’s gun, would they?
What’s all this we hear about
Poland Pasco who used to be
with the railroad here? Pasco is j
in Seattle and has written his I
brother, Charles, that he is just j
about in line for some congratu- j
lat ions, and is planning a trip to
( alifornia. The Seattle gal i
whose name appears so often in j
his letters is Della Turner.
Knock! Knock! Who’s there?]
Tex. Tex who ? Tex a lot of idle
time off your hands when you
play pinochle with the boys at
Horton’s.

Mr. and Mrs. .John Quincy
Adams are back from a trip to
Valdez where Mr. Adams had
been called for jury duty.
Tex Cobb was justly sore the
last time he was up here. Some
one had taken his boat from up
near the glacier and drifted
down stream about 12 miles with
it. Tex had to line it back
against the swift current. He
says that if he had been able to
find out who the culprit was he
would have done the lining . . .
at the point of a gun.
Worn! *r if Phil Allen has any i
more of those tall stories up his
sleeve? Or if he’s in any danger
of losing his crown to Vic Mor
gan or Julius Edmondson. Get
ting pretty good . . . those two.
Jim Smith, major domo of the
warehouses, has moved his of-1
fices over into the new emit,1
north of the spur. Alice O’Neill
went along. And so did George
Sund.
Kids Scalp. Tickets
At Masque Ball
In the press of business in
getting the entertainment start-!
ed at the Halloween dance, Phil j
O’Neill left about 100 tickets on i
the stage with his sign painting
equipment while he went to at
tend to other matters. The tick
ets were stolen and some time
later it was found that boys were
selling them out on the walk at
first for a dollar, and later at
cut rates. It .shouldn’t take any
great of observation to find out
just who among the young boy
group are spending more than
is iii keeping with their earnings.
This, the C.V.F.I). feels, can be
asked of the parents. Or perhaps
it should be the duty of the de
partment in the school student
body which is making a plea for
honesty. Some of the tickets, we
are informed, were found in this
very class room.
