WEDDING STORE!
i
Dutch Blankfleld is back in Fair
banks again after having spent sev
eral weeks in the states on a buying
trip. "Mrs." Blankfleld is not with
him, and Dutch says there never was
any such animal. The story of his
wedding was all Jobbery, concocted
by steamboat men, with the assist
a nee of a few coast reporters. As it
happened, however, the story worked
well for Dutch, for he got in a lot
of "good eats," and on the way north
had an opportunity to enjoy the bridal .
chamber of the boat.
According to Dutch’s story, when
he was going outside, there was a
native woman from Kodiak going to
Seattle also, t'pon arriving there the
reporter that covers the waterfront .
for the Seattle Times appeared on the i
boat. One of Ihe officers was stand
ing near by at that time, and pointed i
to Dutch and tlie native woman, say
ing: "Mr. and Mrs. Blankfleld Just
came out from Interior Alaska.”
Dutch says “the poor symp fell for
it." and the next morning there was
a big story in the paper about his
arrival. Then the telephone messages
congratulating him began to pour in
Old friends dropped around to the
hotel, and a number of business men
from whom he was buying goods of
fered to put their automobiles at his
disposal. Then when he started north
the steamboat men made it good by
reserving Hie bridal chamber for him
arid telegraphing to Cordovi) the pas U
senger list, which included "Mr. and t
Mrs. Blankfleld." Dutch never did ! j
occupy the bridal chamber, however.; i
as he turned it over to a couple of
ladies who were coming to Fairbanks.
In Seattle and Portland Dutch found ,
a lot of interest in the north among j
people who had been in Alaska before I ,
or who wanted to take a trip to the 1
interior to look over conditions. If it
was not for the fact that there is such i
a shortage of horse feed in Fairbanks
there would have been at least 50 or ■
75 more horses brought in over the
trail this spring. Dutch thinks, as .
many former residents of the interior i
thought of coming back with stock. '
