PRINCE OF PERVARICATORS
When it conies to fish stories,
we have a man in our town who
is entitled to the banner. He just
presses the button connected with
the imaginative section of his
brain and stories unfold like the
film of a motion picture machine.
The other day he reeled off this
one. He said one day he took a
notion in his head that a bullhead
might be trained to live on land
just as well as in the water. So
he caught his fish, deposited him
in a tank in the kitchen and be
gan the process of gradually ac
customing his new acquisition to
the new environment. The first
day he kept the bullhead out of
the water five minutes, the second
ten, and so on. increasing the
length of time until it was able
to remain out of the water indefi
nitely. The fish became so tame
it would actually follow him all
about the house, eating food out
of his hand, and seemingly as hap
py and contented as when swim
ming in the lake. But one unfor
tunate day the fish strayed down
to the lake, wandering out on the
dock, fell through a crack and
was drowned. Truly Alaska’s ex
hilarating air and shimmering
lakes have a peculiar influence
upon the imagination. ._

SCHOOL TRACK MEET DRAWS
CROWD TO WITNESS EVENTS
The first track meet to be held by
the pupils of Franklin K. Lane
school took place on A street on
Saturday and was a very successful
affair in every respect, with a large
crowd in attendance to witness the
events, all of which proved interest
ing. The pupils, both large and small
entered into the thing with commend
zest.
Superintendent A. B. Phillips is
endeavoring to get up a track meet*
on a more pretentious scale for
next summer and. if possible, will
arrange for the participation of
other schools of the coast and in
terior sections, which will not be a
very difficult matter when the pro
posed through train service has
been established.

A large and appreciative crowd
witnessed the prowess of the child
ren in all the contests, many of
which were very close.
The dance, also given by the
school, which followed the picture
show, was largely attended and a
most enjoyable time was had by
those attending. The dance was not
given for the purpose of making
money' but after all expenses had
been paid there remained a balance
to the credit of th? school of .$17.00
and this will be used \£here it will
do the most good in an educational
way.

OLDTIMER DIES SUDDENLY
WHILE ON WAY DOWN RIVER
Harry Beach, well known old'.'m
er of the Northland. who was severe-1
ly frostbitten while on the Circle
trail last winter, died suddenly on
Saturday while enroufe to the scene
of the wreck of the steamer Tanana,
where he v?as .to have acted as;
watchman. He was a passenger on
board the Allard mail launch when |
his death occurred.
A wire from Allard, from Tolo- i
vana, to Deputy ^Marshal Hagan,
reported the death and informed {
the officer that the body of the old- i
timer had been placed in a cabin
on the old Howell mill«ite, a few |
miles below Nenana. His death is
said to have resulted from heart
trouble, although Beach was ir ap
parent good health when he left for
the lower river.
Deputy Hagan and U. S. Commis- 1
siondr C. D. Leckie made a trip
down river yesterday and brought
the body to town, where the inquest
will be held.
A wire was sent to Hot Springs j
instructing Allard to return to N'e-!
nana as soon as possible and the |
inquest will be deferred pending his
arrival here.
The decased was a member of the
Pioneers of Alaska and it is likely ,
that organization will take charge of
the funeral arrangements.
The pupils of Franklin K. Lane,
school have put in a cinder pathway
leading from the main entrance of,
the school to the street, and they
are now busy with the flower beds
that will flank the walk. The child
ren think the city should complete
the work and put in a cinder cross
ing where the new path ends, to j
connect with the board walk near
the Presbyterian church.
