Curls and the Government Railroad
HOW THE BLOOM OF YOUTH CAME TO KNIK
BY HELEN VAN CAMPEN
Come in. dear! I guess y.:u never
figured you'd ketch me runnln' a
beauty parlor in a tent this size!
Don't fall over those pack saddles—
Pete Insists Mr. Wilson's goln' to pick
this camp for the railroad terminal,
an’ he's brought up every second
hand outfit he seen, an’ It's Just nerve
wrackin' to give facial massage wrin
kle treatment In a joint where pa
tients are liable to break a leg
trippin' on a gasoline engine or a dog
harness—an' on windows, so I can’t
get on my professional expression
'till a woman’s almost Inside!
Sit down, dear—I’ll give the beans
the once over, an' see what that drat
ted bread’s doin'—my grief, in Fair
banks I never turned out sour bread,
but it's so rain an’ damp here on the
coast, a person—yes, dear, every word
In that pamphlet's true! The curl
stays in three months, an’ you can
dance yourself sick without it per
siprrin’ out—looka my hair— ain't
that wave grand!
I done a lady’s hair in Knik—an’
we had a time gettln’ there! The ice
wasn’t all out of Turnagain Arm, an’
Pete run the engine an' steered an’
watched the baby, with me layin’ flat
on top the pilot house, with the
searchlight on the channel, an’ the
night that dark—well her’s was a
drabby blonde, an’ when sht! took my
curl treatment, site was immediately
engaged to a minin' expert from
Helena, an ’she flagged him for Bill
Ames, discoverer of the Here’s Hopin’
mine, an’ before that no man would
give her a pleasant look.
Oh, your’ll take It fine—Imagine
your whole head one fluffly delicious
mass of curls! My Heavens, if ladles
would only eat stewed fruit for
breakfast, an’ drink two quarts of
water a (lay, an’ buy the colors they
like instead of what they think they
ought to got, an’ keep their hair
curled alway—this won’t hurt a mite,
just hold it quite still, dear. Don’t It
give you a feelln’ of exhaltatlon. just
t(linkin' of how you can get up on’
look like sumpin’ instead of—Pete? Is
that you? Put it down outside then,
I got a patient in here!
(He's bought another old second
hand tent an’ says don’t sell it for
less’n fifty bucks. Why they're only
seven, new, an' who does he expect’ll
pay?) Oh, it has to be a weenchy bit
sticky at first, dear, but that wears
off, an’ remmeber outa the twelve
ladies in camp you’re the first to take
Keep-Curl, an’ yunno yourself people
revere a leader!
It's three bottles for ten—thank
you, honey! You look sweet, now.
Goo’bye.
(Gee, my heart Is beatln’ terrible,
an’ I bet I was yellin’ "steamboat” In
my sleep last night. Why can't that
ship get in with the newspapers, bo
we’d see If the President's settled it?
If he'd talk to me or any other sour
dough, he wouldn’t need to study any
maps for a route, besides what do
them people outside savvy about
Alaska?)
Pete. She blew; come on in. Say,
don't buy any more junk! The more
I reflect, I see plainer we made a mis
take in mushin’ here—leavin' a gar
den in Fairbanks that raised more
strawberries an’ celery an’ lettuce
than any the rest, an’ gettin’ three
bucks a dozen for home grown eggs,
an’ now we’re kitin' round tryin’ to
guess the terminal! But it's what a
woman gets for marryin’ a prospector
—Wilson’ll choose one of the others,
just 'cause we came here. Yes, this
Is the natural route to the interior,
but when’d they ever do anything
right for Alaska, ’cept sign the bill?
Seward people are hollerin’ how the
gov’ment should take over the Alaska
Northern, an’ run it through—sure,
everybody in town owns stock in it!
An’ Chltina says a spur from there to
the Matanuska’s the dope, an’ Valdez
claims the old survey from there to
the inside shows less grade than any
of ’em, an’ a mob's pullin’ for Portage
Bay! Where you goin’.
Well, if you sight the boat tell me
quick!
Here's a woman—good day, step
right in1— don’t hit yourself on that
stove, Mr. Binns simply insists on
pilin’ this tent up with—indeed I have,
dear, an’ they're direct from New
York, too—this bright green one’s
perfectly darling, an’d go lovely with
black eyes—just slip It on. Why,
you’re not sallow, its the light through
the canvas gives your skin that tinge.
She did? Oil, It was your sister in
law? I thought so—it ain’t relatives
you can expect bokays from, dear!
You got n clear skin, but a jar of my
Uloo tnfo Youth will help it—just
smell, Isn’t that nice? it’ll be the
Bloom of Youth will help It—just
only wide skirt in this camp, dear, an’
it's the first shipment into the North.
Kb. No doin' housework in a eight
| by ten log shock with mud an' slush
j outside an’ a slimy beach below an
j snow banks above you * discouragin,'
, but Alaska folks dress up all the same
why’nt you lemme try this little
pink chiffon gown on you, dear? The
lines are darling.
Your sleter’n law’d accuse you or
bein’ wasteful? Hay, dear, If I was
you I'd tell her to sell her hammer an’
buy a horn, for she ain’t your best
friend! Mrs, Helnle Koslnsky's bridge
is *et for Hat’day—her husband's one
o’ the coal claimants an’ he owns a
salmon saitery on the RusKokwim,
an' while iilrdie was a hasher in
Dawson until she grabbed Helnle, she
spent a year In I’arus an’ her dia
monds are wonderful, an’ I wlsht
you’d heard her humiliate a tourist
on the Cordova dock last year who
talkin' I-Yench an’ pronouncin’ Khelms
to rhyme with teams! If you take the
pink Chilton she’ll realize you got
tong. You were? Dearie' you’d be
throwln’ your money away—why the
only cow that was ever on Prince
William Sound was the one Sam Blum
brought to Valdez, an’ she fell down a
crevasse In the glacier the very day
they told the Btore not to deliver any
more canned milk!
Listen dear, as between sister wo
men—you got the next shack to Clara
Howard; does she mention me? I ask,
not that I care, but a certain party
said Clara warned her my goods was
—ha! She did? Squeeze in a trifle,
dear, I'll have to let this out for you,
you must be larger than thirty-eight!
Well, live an’ let live, of course, but
if Clara begins braggln’ about the
three’n four hundred dollar gowns she
wore in Nome, it'll quiet her to re
mark that two dollar red wrappers
outa the A. C. comp’ny's store was all
we ever—pull in harder, dear, you’re
breathin’ out an' not in—there! It’s
ravishin'—I bet your slster'n law’s
one peeved girl when she see It. Yes,
eighty dollars, dear, look at yourself
in this mirror—ain’t that sweet?
Yunno Clara panned both the bonin’
an’ guarantee, when I took Trueform
corsets through the Interior, an’ Harry
never uttered one yeep in my defense,
though Pete an’ me packed the extra
fifty pounds of bacon that Harry

we was all goin' to Broad Pass last
year, an’—eh. An’ don’t you want
the green? Well!
(That ends her, 1 s’pose, by the way
she tore outa here. Aw, this camp is
a dead one, 1 seen that on the jump.
An’ to be lnchin’ out a livin' sellln’
face lotions an' Keep-Curl, when we
got a lead silver proposition half a
mile from where the rails would be
laid if he picked this route, an’ unless
he does it ain’t worth a hoot that far
from a smelter—I’m goin’ to stay out
on the point tonight, an’ watch for
the lights of the boat! But It’s no
use, we’re wrong, I know we are—
heavens' I keep hearin' whistles; I’d
swore 1 heard one then. Why did
Pete put this tent in the trees where
you can't see the water or anything
else? An’ Pin tired of smellin’ fresh
cut logs an’ Siwashln' in one room.
I wouldn’t care if the sidewalks in
Seattle did hurt my feet, an’ yet we
got to drudge along here, 1 s’pose, an’
the one who was better gucssers’ll get
the money an’ Pete’ll hike in on the
tail of the boom—an’ we’ll be ditched
again!
It’s his fault; lettin’ those fellas in
the survey party last spring kid him
that this was the host point on the
coast. 1 wonder who that woman in
the funny little hut an' the patent
leather pumps is, just Jumpin’ the
mudhole? That's the very latest style
hat, ouside. It’s maddenin’ to be off
the main trail of a camp!
She must have come in overland.
Good day! Could I interest you in
Keep Curl—it stays In three—well, In
Bloom of Youth, then, it gives a nat
ural—that tent? Fifty dollars. You’ll
tnke it? An’ the stove? An’ the six
chairs an’ the set of irons. You're
goin' to start a restaurant? 1 hope
you have luck, I’m sure.
(Here’s a strange man now!) Sir?
There’s ten of those pack saddles—
eight each. You—you couldn’t use a
Whlzzer engine, new model, fly wheel
in the mugneto an' doesn't need bat
teries to start—you can hang it over
the end of a row boat?
(Talk about queer, how’d Pete get
the hunch that stuff woul dsell? And
here’s another man.) Sir? Yes, we
huve a tent—lot) pound sack of beans,
fifty sugar—1 got you, anything else?
Four tin plates—Ma'am. Who. sells
lots? Why, we do, here’s a blue print
of it—thin will be Woodrow Wilson
Avenue, an’ thiB cross is the power
house that’ll be on Franklin Cane
Squnre—oh, they’il have to blast the
mountains down, you know? You’ll
;ake six an' pay cash?
(Am 1 dreamlu'T Who are all this
—— - - I
crowd of strangers? They ain't
Alaskans; they got no sense! An’
their shoes are too light.)
Ma’am- Laundry? My husband’s
startin' a sawmill, an' he can sell you
lumber for a laundry—sure! Look
here, while waitin’ for lumber, you
wouldn’t like a swell line of beauty
culture an' colored wigs—they buy
anything In a boom camp, an' they're
payin’ ten a day wages on the creeks
inside, an’ sluicin' Just started, an'
the wives do the spendln’, you know?
You take the lot for two hundred!
(More people cornin’—those four boys
look like they was used to mushln'—
they got their pack straps on right.)
In a minute, I'll serve everybody If
you wait—here, drop that tent. It's
this other party's! Whore do you
think yon are? Don't care if you
have got the price in your hand, he
saw It first, (ties, I'm feelln' so ex
cited I can hardly think—where Is
Pete? There's only your own tent an’
cook stove an’ the pink dress left to
sell.) Ma'am? You do smell bakin'
bread! You’ll buy the batch? An'
the beans, ’cause you got no time to
cook till you look around? (My head
Is buzfcln’. My sakes, that looks like
the bunch of gov’ment surveyors that
camped by us when we were locntln’
the lead silver claims. An Pete's with
'em!)
Pete! Pete Rinns, nre you deaf,
I've sold everything rn the place
twelve tots an’ even the bread outa
the stove—Pete! (Oh, look at him
hustlin' right by! Why this big
crowd can’t have come from the in
terior—an' what's that loud cheerln?
I’ll get out of these trees an' find out,
’cause I can see the beach from the
hill, an'—oh, the ship's In—she's
anchored, hundreds cornin' ashore an'
the dock piled with freight!
That woman may know—it's her
that tried on the dress.- Hay, watt,
I—eh? Your husband says you’ll soon
have the price of forty cows now, an'
you can get the pink dress—never
mind that, tell me what the President
—are you sure?
Doin’ to build the road from here?
An’ we'll be runnln' the saw mill,
an’ sellin' lots, an’ it’ll pass by the
claims, an’ we can live human, at
last? You can't have the pink dress!
I been goln’ without pink dresses an’
soilin' things to make other women
beautiful, since I come into the ter
rltory, an' I'll wear it myself—I
shan't do a thing except keep slicked
up, an’ count money, an’ watch Alaska
