BUREAUCRATIC LITANY
And it came to pass in that land which is called
Alaska, albeit the home of the subjects of the crown,
and theie dwelt therein of the various tribes. Of these
there were the Fairbanksites, the Iditarodites, the
Sewardites, the Anchorageites, albeit sourdoughnites,
aye even unto the Moose rassites, and various and sun
dry other wild tribes like unto the Juneauites, where
with dwelt the agents of the king.
And, lo! there was an abundance in the land. 01
game there was and of fishes, aye even unto the low
bush moose. . .
And it came to pass that happiness reigned tnrougn
out the land. Of the abundance took they sufficient tor
food and clothing and traded they a little for ‘boughten’
goods of the far tribes that dwelleth in that land which
is called the States. Of their all they shared freely with
their fellow. Laws had they in few, for whereat man
dwelleth close to his neighbor the Ten Commandments
sufficeth. , , , .
Of a summer they wandered abroad, snaring the
festive salmon, the speckled trout. Eateth they of the
wild berries and cheweth much tobacco, albeit smok
eth they also. _ .
And lo! cometh the Stateites and spieth out the
land. Sith they. “Verily it is good.”
And it came to pass that the many tribes maketh
a wider circle in their cabins. Inviteth they of the
Stateites to sit in by the fire, chew baleek, aye feas
upon the low-bush mulligan stew.
And recked they not ol evil.
But lo! The agents of the king returneth to the
own land laden with rich furs, virgin gold, aye, succu
lent salmon bellies. . - i,:n(T

Wool production should have made a good record

unusually heavy.
