FUNK CUTS HAY ON
NEARBY HOMESTEAD
A B. Funk has been engaged dur
ing the past week in putting up
hay at the Andy .1. Erwin home
stead, about a mile south of town,
near the Commission powder-house.
F'unk planted about 25 acres of the
homestead to oats, and the growth
was one of the best in the valley,
the oats attaining a height of more
than four feet. A sample on dis
play at The News office measures
considerably more than four feet.
Mr. Funk planted several small
patches of oats in town, and reports
excellent results from all of them.
INDIAN BASKETS AND IVORY
FOR SALE BY MRS. C. W.
ADAMS. k29
V
Failing to profit by the exped
ience of dupes in nearly every town
j on the coast of Alaska, where the
[sale of water camouflaged as redeye
[has been going on steadily since the
| territory went dry, a number of
Fairbanksans last week were taken
down the line for over $2,000 by a
I recent arrival, who unloaded two
barrels of perfectly good water on
his unsuspecting victims, who
thought they were buying whisky.
Fake barrels sold on the coast
really contained a small quantity
j of liquor, placed inside the barrel
! in such a manner as to flow from
| the bung when the barrels were
J tapped. But that constituted a
I clear violation of the law, exposing
| the fakers to arrest and punish
| ment.
j The Fairbanks genius conceived a
[safer plan. He had a bottle con
cealed in his clothing, from which
a small hose carried the whisky out
through his sleeve, ready for use
; when he tapped the barrel. An
! other hose was really placed in the
barrel, and the whisky appeared to
! pass through it, but in reality the
; liquor came from the concealed bot
j tie.
j That the trick worked is indicat
ed by the alleged fact that the
money changed hands, the purchas
ers taking possession of the two
: barrels of water and the faker de
parting over the trail with the
cash. There was not so much as
jeven the >mell of liquor about the
barrels to warrant the arrest of the
ivendor, even if the dupes had cared
to make their identity known for
I purposes of prosecution.
; The money is said to have been
i put up by six residents of the upper
town, four of them being women,
and one a cook in a restaurant.

ORDER FORBIDS
USE OF GAME AS
FOOD FOR DOGS
According to a recent regulation
made by the secretary of agricul
ture, it is not now permissible to
kill or sell any game animal in
Alaska “for the purpose of feeding
them to foxes or other fur-bearing
animals in captivity or to dogs
boarded for pay.”
Announcement of this regulation
is contained in a circular dated
July 15, copies of which reached
Nenana on a recent mail. Other
regulations “for the protection of
game in certain localities in Alaska”
are mentioned in the circular, one
of which prohibits “the hiring of
any person, directly or indirectly, to!
kill or capture game birds or game
animals for any boarding house,
cafe, cannery, eating house, hotel, i
messhouse or restaurant in Alaska, !
south of the Arctic circle.’
An
other regulation prohibits the hunt- j
ing of game animals with dogs.
Other regulations relate to other
sections of the territory.
The receipt of the circular at |
Fairbanks and the misinterpretation j
of its meaning there has occasioned '
some misunderstanding regarding;
the game laws. There is an im- I
pression abroad that the game laws!
of the territory have been suspend
ed or repealed, whereas, as a mat
ter of fact, it is not within the i
power of the secretary of agricul-1
ture or any other representative of j
the United States government to j
change the game laws by modifica- j
tion. By virtue of the authority
conferred upon him by Section ” of
the Act of May 11, 1908, the sec
retary of agriculture may make
regulations for the additional pro
tection of game, but he cannot sus
pend any part of the law.
The misunderstanding doubtless j
resulted from the wording of -the j
circular, which says that “all regu- j
iations for the protection of game ]
in Alaska, made and published by j
the secretary of agriculture.I
prior to the regulations hereby made !
and published .... shalL be and are
hereby revoked.” That means mere
ly that a lot of regulations, which
had accumulated and which were of
no particular benefit, have been dis
continued. It does not mean that
the game law has been changed as
regards seasons and the number of
animals that may be killed.

Mail for the Iditarod district will
be routed by way of Fairbanks and
Tanana during: the coming winter,
according to advices received at the
upper town this week from the
postal authorities at Washington.
The Seward-Iditarod winter route,
in use during the past several years,
i6 to be abandoned because of the
excessive cost of transporting mails
that way, and the uncertainty of
trail conditions.
It is believed at Fairbanks that
the transfer of the service to the
Fairbanks-Chitina trail will be ac
companied by a substantial increase
in the weight allowance, sufficient,
at least, to meet the requirements
of the additional service. And it
also should result in diverting trav
el from the abandoned trail, which
will be rendered more than ever
dangerous to mushers by reason of
the withdrawal of mail carriers, who
have kept the trail open in past
winters.
WAGNER ENJOYS
STAY IN STATES;
IS ENTERTAINED
(By H. M. d’Orsay.)
A recent letter from Charles
Wagner, late of Camp 43, Alaskan
Engineering commission (where he
ferried us over cheerfully at all
times, as a good captain should)
shows us he is all to the merry!
“Charlie” went to Myrtie Point,
Oregon, primarily to visit his moth
er, sisters, and brothers; but in
reality to see if he was really the
back number he feared he was,
after twenty years spent in Alaska.
Charlie is not a back number!
He writes that he is having the
time of his “young life.” His letter
is not an aftermath vision of the
war. Far be it from such, where
Charlie dropped down!
Four dollars a day, board and
room, if he would work in the hay
field; but he can’t “tear himself
away,” he says.
His brother gets nine dollars and
ninety cents a day, cutting timber
in the woods, but Charlie won’t do
even that—just yet; nor does he
even mention returning to Alaska.
He goes on to state that laboring
men are scarce—that he ought to
go to work sometime before the
Oregon rains begin to fall; but that
is as far as he has gone into the
laboring question, on his own ac
count. There’s a reason.
Girls of “23 years of age,” with
“complexions of peaches and cream,”
call for Charlie in their car, anil
he can even cut out the regular
young chaps—they do not hail from
Alaska! For an old sourdoug'h he
feels—and with good reason—pret
ty chesty. Back number? Why, he
is IT! And the girls are his moth
er’s neighbors, and friends.
Strawberries with real cream, and
chicken fried golden brown is com
mon truck when Charlie dines.
They have made parties, and din- j
ners, and gone on excursions, until
Charlie 'has gone out and bought
gilt:edge stationery, as the only
kind tit for a delineation of the;
good things prepared for—not the
prodigal son — but the sourdough
from the Land of the Midnight Sun.
Vive la Charlie!
