Advice to H. A. Young
When your ’Miners' Ultimatum"
In the columns of the News
Aired itself, and claimed to echo
Rampart miners' honest views:
Who for years have labored under
Graft's tyrannical misrule.
I was puzzled as to whether
You were greater knave or “phule."
“Young" by name as well as knowledge 1
Surely less than nine days' old,
Else your eyes had often noticed
Acts unlawful, raw and bold.
Done most openly and shameless—
No pretense that they were right.
If these facts are new to you, sir
Where’s your hearing, sense or sight?
When the citizens of Rampart
Boldly tar and feathers talked
For the Fraud to wljom you grovel.
Who, their honest fury baulked?
Who persuaded the Grand Jury
Their indictments to withhold?
Wickisksham ! The star pledge breaker,
. • - * r-.
Chief of grafter’s uncontrolled!
Who can “envy” such a couple?
' Who for them could “malice" feel?
Beings sunk so low can only
To our strong contempt appeal
Everyone who knows their record—
Miner, Senator or Scribe.
Keenly feels the degradation
Galling to Alaska's pride.
Green and Wickersham are "dead ones9'
All their shamefaced friends admit;
You're too late to be a mourner
O'er tiie putrifying kit
Take a friend's advice in season:
Whitewash isn't to your hand.
When you wag your little penlet
Tackle thing’s you understand.
__ A. H. Turner.
Tanana .Trails freaking Down
The remarkably mild winter and the
moderate thawing weather of the past
two weeks all point to an early break
up. Reports from the Tanana agree
that the trails out of Fairbanks are ra
pidly becoming impassible. On March
12 the upper Tanana began to breakup
and overflow. Several hairbreadth es
capes due to this condition are reported
on the trail between Valdez and Fair
banks.
