THE MATANV8KA MELODY.
By L. C. Wilkes.
Why is it that the writers
When they write to folks below,
Always tell about Alaska
As the land of ice and snow?.
You always tell of the nortnern
lights
And how the hungry huskies howl;
Where the streams are cold, and
filled with gold,
And the wolf pack loveB to prowl.
You never tell where the pansies
bloom,
And The morning glories climb,
Where spuds grow like pumpkins
And the garden "saB" is fine.
But you’ll ^ill of days .n Dawson,
Or the land of perpetual snow.
Where your breath snaps like a gun
shot *
Whon Ho aotranfv.lwn iialna'
You never speak of the valley
On the Matamiska line.
Where the farmers raise big cab
bage
i In our southern Alaska clime.
You will tell of the cold.
The snow and the gold,
But never a word do you say
Of the farms In the Matanuska
i Near the railroad right of way.
1 So why this farce of the far-off
north
Be applied to all the land,
Where there’s farms galore, anu
room for more,
I can't quite understand.
So change your lines to the sum
mer time,
When the flowers are all in bloom,
| And learn to be a booster
And watch the Matanuska boom.
Dime creek, the new prospect near
Nome, looks about the host of any
of the new country developed in the
past few years, sejs M. J. Weller, of
Nome. He says that whire the dis
trict has shown up well, so far, it
has not reached the point where a
stampede into the country is likely.
The residents of Anchorage must
adopt the watchful, waiting policy,
until the congress passes the emerg
ency appropriation bill. We can
conserve our energy until that glad
day, for all of us will be so busy
from that time oil that we will re
quire the best that is in us.
That piece of furniture you need
would be an appropriate holiday gift
WILKES makes everything. Shop
opposite Alaska Transfer Co.

To soothe the savage breast”— With its cheery, homelike crowds
But give me Poster’s harmony. That can’t he found elsewhere.

I’m a crank about tobacco.
Yet they have my favorite brand;
in fact, their stock cannot be beat
By any in the land.
And I’ll meet you there this evening,
Where we’ve met in days of yore.

Just across from Cotter'3 Store.
