REBELLION SPIRIT
“What Ho!” called the Porcupine cheerily to his
friend the Pole Cat when they met on the trail the
other day. “Why this long lower lip and that ineffable
sadness in thy limpid eye?”
‘‘What Ho, indeed, and a couple of Ha Ha’s,” res
ponded the Pole Cat savagely, champing his teeth.
“Methinks thou too wouldst be sad and downcast, if
you knew what they are saying about us. Why just
think of ii; they are asking if all politicians are skunks.
Can you imagine such a libel against a family of my
a-romatic ancestry?”
“Are they indeed,” said the Porcupine changing
demeanor instantly and bristling with anger. “Tis a
pretty dowdy do and we’ll not stand for it. I shall im
mediately call an indignation meeting of all the ani
mals in Alaska and we shall vigorously protest this
cruel jest or unseemly inuendo.”
Forthwith Mr. Malemute was dispatched as mes
senger and he mushed up and down the highways and
byways like unto a veritable ghost. There was growling
and snorting and snarling throughout the land. There
was whir of wings and tread of heavy hoofs; there
was scratching of gravel and tumult of the seas.
Lo and hehold, on the appointed day there was a
great gathering of the hosts from Barrow to Ketchi
kan, from the Elliotts to Atka. The coyotes and the
wolves howled down the trails; the buffaloes humped
themselves from the Tanana, the goats and the she ^p
butted in from Kenai. Old Man Polar Bear and Mr.
Walrus lumbered in with pretty lady Seals; Mr. \ "hade
regretted he had an appointment at the South Pole.
Mr. Moose and Mr. Reindeer as well as Mr. Carib m
homed in with a bunch of gay deer from the South
east. The Fox winked slyly at the Mink, the Otter and
the Muskrat. Mr. Weasel and Mr. Ice Worm sauntered
in arm in arm. The Quail family, the Mallards, the
Grouse, the Ptarmigan, set up a mighty hullabaloo
and a fluttering here and there wiiile Mr. Rabbit quiet
ly took off his snow shoes and sat down in the corner.
Mr. Mastadon shook the glen as he turned over in his
sieep and rattled his ancient bones.
Mr. Beaver, in the chair, opened the meeting and
stirred the gathering to fever heat with the slogan that t
“he’d be d—if the Alaska Animal Kingdom were going i
to take any more sourdough slams,” and he brought 1
his tail down on the table with a bang. J
Well, sir, you never heard such oratory or so much, i
The Yaks solemnly chewed their cuds" and shook 1
their heads in agreement. A wrell-scented note from *
the musk-oxen expressed their regret that they would
not arrive in time to attend. Some raccoons and some «
Arctic owls took in the proceedings with deep dignity, c
A Kodiak bear acted as sergeant-at-arms. Knowing 1
something about navigation Mr. Halibut was appointed (
chairman of a special committee with Mr. Salmon, Mr. \
Cod, Mr. Trout and Mr. Greyling to devise ways and !
means of buying the Alaska Railroad barge Lawrrence, f
because it was the final sense of the meeting that if
the protest was not heeded the entire gathering would 1
need a second Noah’s Ark to sail away from here.
Nature evidently resents our invasion of her *
sacred precincts. The other day a strong wind down <
the canyon tipped over the little wickiup where the
traffic counter on the Seward highway adds his stag- )
gering totals of passing cars and trucks, and laid it (
across the roadway like one of Chick Sales’ little homes t
of intensive thought in childhood days after strong t
weather. Instead of smiling and being counted, the c
drivers had to pass around and cussed. *
A writer says President Hoover took office with- 1
out any political training. But he’ll have some when
he leaves.

fill MAIL PILOTS' PUT
During the last six months of ■
1929 and the first six months of j
this year, air-mail and passen- j
ger pilots received an average j
base pay of not less than $200 on
to figures gathered by the aero
nautics branch of the depart- j
merit of commerce.
Airplane and engine mechanics '■
received an average monthly j
salary of $157 during the same;
period. Pilots are awarded a j
base pay of less than $200 on |
the average, but they receive in j
addition, five cents a mile for j
day and ten cents a mile for
night flying under the usual
contracts with operators.
CORRECTION
As was admitted by the Gateway,
there was considerable static on
the air when the story came in
about E. L. Robbins trying for the
tree-sitting record in competition
with a brown bear on the ground.
Mel Horner, of the Overland Hotel,
who was out with Robbins on this
trip, says the story was all wrong.
Robbins was treed up one of Lew
Bishop’s haystacks on Russian Ri
ver by a bull moose. The moose
was eating his way into the stack
to bring him down when his friends
discovered Robbin’s plight and re
scued him. He had dropped his gun
in his scramble up the fodder.
John Salit and Cole McDougal of
the Alaska Oracle Mine in Moose
Pass were Seward arrivals on Fri
day’s train.
