TOP PRIZE WINNER—The Outdoorsmen's float
practically brought the great outdoors to the
downtown streets of Kodiak. The interesting
float copped first prize, and justly so. In the
picture above are Kin Clark, his dog, Ooloo, a
Kodiak bear foot alive), Fred Mamaloff, Sammy
Baker and a group of boys roasting wieners
around a campfire. Not shown is “Punky” Gal
lagher, in a bathing suit, who undoubtedly
caught the eye of outdoorsmen, seamen and
landlubbers alike.
Here There Everywhere
Ode to
E. L (Bob) Bartlett
(Shades of Hamlet. Apologies to Shakespeare without whose help
this could not have been written—and more’s the pity).
To be or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of the Senate Chamber
Or as Governor of the biggest State
And by this seating end all tranquility.
Impossible it is to end by death or sleep
The heartaches and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to—what say you, my friends?
To sleep, perchance to dream
Of great oratorical vote-getting powers
To shake the Senators from their seats.
Or should I seat myself on Capitol hill,
Bark my commands and have my will
In shaping this great northern hinterland
In a future proud and great.
Or do I crave the plaudits of this nations senators
For which I’d bear the -whips and scorns of time,
The oppressors wrong, the proud South’s contumely
The pangs of up passed resolutions,, laws delayed ■•••
The insolence of office and the spurns
Of men who answer to their constituents?
Proud I would be in , Juneau’s mansion
Eagerly working for Alaska’s expansion.
Or doth my Star in Washington burn bright?
Can it there shed its ray of light?
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o’er with the pale cast of thought.
Enterprises of great pith and .moment -
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action. ,
WE HEAR TELL. Picked up in the ASC mag Alaska Liner,
under Ketchikan Kbmepts, we learn former agent here, Clarence
King, is embarked on a new project. He got his hook, line and
sinker into the recent Ketchikan Salmon Derby, but according to
the report, he is “clearing out the bottom for the true sportsman.
At the time of writing he had only managed to come up with one
starfish and four Irish lords. ,
TRAVELLING BEAR. These Kodiak bear get around, especially
when they are dead. Wonder where one is that was shot by Camp*
bell Church, noted author and lecturer. A Seattle restaurant owner,
Nick Lambros, picked the hide up at an auction sale some years ago
and after patching it up a bit, and stuffing it, he auctioned it off
last fall. A P-I columnist’s comment at the time was: “Put it in the
old living room and you’ll have a conversation piece—that’s for
sure.’’ But how many husbands have to go to this length to get their
wives to talk? What she’d say if you did that wouldn’t be .exactly
interesting.
