Packvilie, W. Va.
Dear Editor:- April 26, 1926.
Am enclosing check for renewal of my subscription to the
Chilkoot Post. I enjoy your paper very much and always look forward
for it with keen pleasure.
We are having real summer here now and the mountains are a
beautiful picture with all the many color schemes blended.
f Here’s wishing all my friends at Chilkoot Barracks and Haines
a great summer and may they enjoy many hikes along the old trails,
especially the trail to Lily Lake.
Yours for success as the editor.
Esther Jarrold.
THE CHILKOOT SQUADRON.
Corporal Sammy Cobbler, Company "E", is very busy this week
getting his flag-ship of the Chilkoot Navy, the "Elsie", in condition
for contemplated cruises on Lynn Canal this summer.
Sgt.Young, of Cornpany"E", has purchased the super-gas-boat,
the "Alaska", from Deputy U.S.Marshal, Steve Sheldon, and will join
the Squadron in a few days, and hopes to capture some of the laurels
now bestowed upon Skipper Cobbler.
Mr. Frank Morris has just launched a new fast boat on the Canal
for his young son, Bavid , who also will join the Navy when it makes
its first cruise. Dave's boat is one of the classiest and fastest
ever launched at this port and he i s justly proud of it.
CO!'IPANY " F" NEWS.
We 11,we started firing on the target range this week and the Co.
looks forward to the coaches expected to be developed for examples
to the rest of the company, who also expect to make some high scores.
A member of the company was heard last Monday night praying
for water to wash his neck and the Lord answered his prayer and sent
down a shower which he took advantage of and headed for the water
pipe on the roof.
We won the baseball game last Sunday afternoon from Company''^”
and expect to keep on winning all the games. We are still looking
for ball-players, but think we have enough already to start a league
of our own,as scores can be seen daily practicing on the parade in
front of the company, and some of the boys claim that if v/e had put
the First Team in Sunday we would have had to give some runs to get
a game.
Our squad rooms are coming along fine and it looks like a dif
ferent outfit on the inside, thanks to our four brush artists, Sgt.
t Roger son, (a professional decorator), Pfc. Barry, Pvt. Keeton, and Pvt.
Alason. We also haT?e a typical bunk painter, Pfc.Durban.
