‘Red’ Campbell Will Not
Fight ‘Cook Inlet Kid’
In an interview with The Gateway
last night, in answer to an article in
an Anchorage publication, “Red”
Campbell, the well known fighter, de
clared that it was impossible for him
to fight the “Cook Inlet Kid,” at any
time within the near future on account
of having no place to train, and also
because the purse offered would not
justify him getting in condition.
“I wanted a return match with the
‘Kid,’ a month or so ago,” said Mr.
Campbell, “at which time I was in
good condition. This was denied me.
Now I can hardly see my way clear in
view of the smallness of the purse
offered to go into training. I may be
able to fight at a later date, but not
now.”

E. Mount, Seward's
Foot Specialist and
Shoe Repair Man
How many of us can remember j
when the man or woman with pet
corns, callous or bunions called in the
shoemaker and had our feet measured
and shoes built accordingly to our ail
ments and directions? They were
called “custom-made” shoes (no this is
not a shoe ad) and with the title of
“custom-made” shoes went high prices,
that is, high prices in those days. Of
course the boot was still in style and
was also made to order.
In his rounds for news the other
evening the Gateway reporter ran
right square into a story on the Main
street of Seward. A story and “find.”
E. Mount is the story and what he
knows about corrective foot-wear is a i
“find.”
lie re is the story: Being appren
ticed to a shoemaker in the little town
I of Eugene, Ore., Mr. Mount was put
jto work making certain parts of a shoe
or boot. His employer, an old master
from foreign shores was long on in
structions and skill and very short on
praise and salesmanship. After hav
ing worked many months on construct
ing various parts of a boot, the desire
to make a complete pair of boots for a
customer could no longer be denied
him. And as luck runs sometimes, the
customer proved to be what they clas
sified as a tough one. The foot was
measured and as he had a pet bunion
great care was taken in shaping the
boot to give it ease at that point.
When the customer called for the
boots a few weeks later they were
slipped on (and the phrase, slipped,
is used with caution) with entire sat
isfaction. After a thorough inspection
Mr. Mount was given the credit
of being known as a craftsman or a
maker of custom-made shoes.
After serving some time in Eugene,
Ore., in making and also selling shoes
he next went to Portland. There he
was employed by the Walk-Over Shoe
Co., and the next jump was to Los An
geles, Calif. It was there while being
employed by the Walk-Over Shoe Co.
that the management required all
salesmen to attend lectures each week
on Foot Correction given by a New
York doctor and maintained by the
Walker-Over Shoe Co., which dealt
primarily with all the bones, tissues,
tendons and muscles of the human
foot and the causes for crippled, sick
feet. Various appliances were sold
and recommended to the Company’s

ances in an article of merit, that make
tired feet happy, so constructed as to
take the weight of the body off the
ball of the foot bringing relief immed

Seward is indeed fortunate in hav
ing a man so well versed in foot cor
rection and appliances and as Alaska
still has many mushers who come
here for ad\ice and aid. the city of Se
ward boasts of a man who saves
soles.”
