THE MOST MODERN LAUNDRY IN THE TERRITORY
SEWARD STEAM LAUNDRY
HARRY KAWABE Prop. —.o.~ PHONE MAIN 148
next summer, according to his ver
sion of a medley of comedy and
tragedy, makes the Wall street
thing look like a crap game.
Mike says in effect, had he emu
lated Odysseus and had himself
lashed to the mast when passing
the Sirens on Kodiak Island in his
memorable cruise seeking a safe
harbor, only to find there was no
breakwater at Seward, he might
have “set in" with the bears on the
returns from two or more gallons of
T-iron hooch—you stick in the T
iron and if it becomes a corkscrew
you put in more water; if a crescent
you drink it using a fire extinquish
er as a chaser. That is about the
nature of the product from Mike’s
■still, located between A and B
Streets and Fourth Avenue, Anch
orage.
But had it not been for a super
annuated emblem of Baalam’s four
| cylinder knckabout on which he
entered Jerusalem, Mike says he
might have gotten by in the bear
scramble instead of as it now is,
| with the bulls chalking down a
home run, a putout and an assist
jant in the box score.
Mike owns an ex-railroad mule,
fond of fermented still slop and
who imagines he is a Caruso. The
mule is stabled some distance from
the menufacturing plant. If Mike is
tardy with the nightcap, the mule

begins a chop-suey tenor that
causes the maiamutc chorus to tear
up the music and bury their ears in
the snow.
Mike now wishes he had put the
mule instead of the nitroglycerine
in the still—he might have kicked
the entire works into Knik Arm
and destroyed the evidence. It was
while saying “here's how” to the
hee-haw that the still exploded.
When Mike arrived at the back door
Chief Brewington yelled “hi-spy”!
The fire laddies were busy scoring
the putout, and Mike’s home run
was given to the bulls on an error
I of judgement.
THE PLOT THICKENS
While Chief Brewington was
guarding the rear door of a room
from which he had just rescued
! Mike’s faithful dog, someone ap
proached in the dark and tried to
i enter. Halted by the chief the in
truder explained that there might
be someone in the house needing
rescue.
I The chief says he found tne,
I “lady” in the form of a five-gallon !
! runlet. He turned his back to secure |
I some two gallons of fresh “T-iron”. i
When he again looked at the in- j
spiration of the stranger’s heroics, ;
it was missing.
; “What was in that runlet?” he j
asked Mike, who took his wiping out!
of the market in good cheer.
1 “Oh, heem? She i s only water I
I put in to soak heem out.”
! Bystanders say they beheld a
man dash madly from the rear of
the house with something in his
arms covered with canvas, jump
into an automobile, step on the gas
with both feet and disappear into
the night.
“By gar eet iss goot choke, when
he find she is only water,” chuckled
! Mike.
’j “You see, fella coom to me an’
Isay: ‘Mebbe you is like make little
’ easy moonee. ‘I t’ink mebbe yes. It
1 been my fairst time. I make one
’ gallon: mebbe two gallon; I dunno.
t I take heem up to taste heem.
• Whew! I get de smell on de nose!
She is awful stuff. I say I don’t sell
• heem; I pour heem out an’ mak
t some more. Den I go on de stable
. feed de mule. Scarbachi! Dam dat
mule!”
Mike says he entered the market
■ only Monday morning. By 9 o’clock
• he had been wiped out and was in
hock wthout enough collateral to
sell short on hooch consolidated.
