DUNLAP VICTIM
OF NEWSPAPER
MAN’S DREAM
C. C. Dunlap, a well-known mining
man, formerly of Cordova, who is now
in Nenana, received the following
clippings from a St. Paul, Minn., paper
in a recent mail. He admits having
sent the moosehide mitts, and also
having written the letter, but dis->
claims any connection with either the
weather that froze the ink he was
writing with, or the dusky maiden of
the St. Paul reporter’s dream. The
clippings read as follows:
INK FROZE ON LETTER
FOR TROPICAL ST. PAUL
V
Ruby Schmidt, deputy clerk of the
district court, looked out at the warm
shower yesterday took a sniff of the
balmy air after he had finished read
ing a letter from his friend, C. C.
Dunlap, a former St. Paul boy, who is
near Nenana, Alaska, and wondered
whether this is the north temperate
or one of the tropical zones.
Dunlap wrote November 17. One
sheet of it was written in ink and the
last one with a pencil—due to the ink
freezing up while Dunlap was writing.
It was only 60 degrees below at the
time, he said, and he was out twenty
miles from town.
At the time the letter was written
the mercury stood several degrees
above the freezing point in St. Paul.
The letter was encased in a birch
bark envelope, common to the Alaska
country.
O-WANNA-GOO-GOO SHE ON FOR
GET HER PALEFACED LOVER
Rudy Schmidt, deputy clerk of the
district court, today received a Christ
mas gift from Alaska with a breeze
of Arctic romance attached to it.
Two years ago, while visiting C. C
Dunlap, friend and prospector, at Ne
nana, Rudy made friends with an In
dian chief whose tribe was camped
nearby.
The chief admired Rudy and the
wonderful camera he carried.
Likewise. the chief’s daughter,
O-wanna-goo-goo, thought Rudy was
the original Gibson boy she had been
dreaming about.
Owing to her unmistakable desire
to annex him to her tribe, Rudy was
compelled to leave Nenana hurriedly
for fear of being; kidnaped.
O-wanna-goo-goo, mourning her loss,
did not forget him.
Through Dunlap she sent the
Christmas gift—a pair of moosehide
gloves—daintily embroidered and
trimmed with the finest beaver.
