CAMP
KENNEOOTT, Aug. 8. — Mr. Chas.
Zlegle returned last week from his
mining claims and is exhibiting some
fine specimens of ore taken from his
Larkinaw properties. Charlie says
his meal ticket is now assured. We
hope he makes a million and cannot
rest till he gives us half.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Mr. and
Mrs. Bateman paid us a short visit
last week. Mr. Bateman thought so
well of our last invitation that he
brought his wife along. No need to
repeat the invitation, our latch string
is always on the outside.
Mrs. M. A. Hecky and several young
lady friends visited Bonanza one day
last week. Strange, all the young la
dies insisted upon visiting the com
pressor rooms until the operator
changed shifts. Now they avoid it
like a pest house. How about it, Jim
mie?
Consternation reigns supreme in
the ranks of the Bachelor Club. Pre
sident Paulson announces his engage
ment to a beautiful and wealthy young
lady of the far east, the marriage to
take place in the indefinite future.
And a lot more of the members are
getting wobbly in the knees. When
we approached them in an effort to
raise money enough to pay up our in
debtedness and renew our subscrip
tion to the Daily Times they looked at
us in a vacant sort of way and men
tioned something about subscribing
for “Good Housekeeping and How t»
Be Happy Though Married,” and we
caught Bill Baxter looking at a Cor
dova furniture catalogue, and when he
saw us he sheepishly slipped it out of
sight. We did not say anything, as
we got caught that way once our
selves.
And now you will see Conway, Erick
son, Dustin and a lot more I could
mention, if I was not afraid of get
ting whipped, sneaking in to Dr. Log
. .,■_ • ... ■ ..
j Kin's office to have their cases diug
j nosed, and in every case he has pro
. nouneed it the most virulent type of
j heart failure, and In Dustin's case the
| doctor says he is Inclined to en bon
I point, whatever that Is, and the next
attack will surely prove fatal If the
young lady only consents.
T. Wilson Barrington (no friend of
Woodrow Wilson, Tom is a Bull
Moose) left a short time ago for the
Hub of the universe. Tom said he
would not stay here because Mike the
Chef's beans were not baked in Bos
ton. I suppose the next thing we will
hear is that the young ladies of Ken
necott will be kicking because the
Paris hats they are wearing were made
in Cordovn.
\
A few days ago the younger set of
Kennecott picnicked on the banks of
Bonanza creek and the event was
taken advantage of to settle the long
standing dispute between Morgan and
Lawrence as to which was the fleetest
of foot, and a race was arranged on
the spot, and as the country is as bare
of vegetation and wood as Puget
Sound In a windstorm, one of the popu
lar young ladies was detailed to act
as a timing post or buoy, as yachtsmen
would say. The contestants were to
leave the starting point, circle the
young lady and return to the start
ing point. So referee Stannard sent
them off at the crack of the pistol,
and Morgan won by a neck, but Tubby
protested. He said Morgan grabbed
the post in turning, and referee Stan
nard allowed the protest, and ordered
them to run it over again. So they
| got another start, this time Tubby
leading slightly, circling the post beau
home plate, and passed under the
wire a clear winner. And when he
checked his momentum and looked
back, horrors, there wras Morgan still
i clinging to the post, and now Tubby
i wonders If he was jobbed. He can't
tell for the life of him what Morgan
was saying to the post out there alone.
The Kennecott athletic club is now
arranging n splendid program for Eu
bor Day. A match which may have
a decided Influence on the European
war Is to be staged. Jake, the
Russian whirlwind, and Max, the Her
man cyclone, are matched to fight 20
rounds, or to a decision, with Tom,
the Haarlem (Holland) spider, as re
feree, and as both contestants have
received letters of encouragement
from their respective monarehs. n
lively time is assured when these two
bear cats tear into each oilier, as the
fur will surely fly.
MUSIC LOVERS HAVE CHANCE
TO ENJOY REAL HARMONY.
_
