THIS TOT.™ IS
EEGIOTIUG TO GROW.
It was heard early this week that our |
friend Gordon Branch welcomed, a young
son. Its name is not known yet,but un
til the town hears what it is,the ba
by will probably have to be called by
the nickname of little Twig.He was b
born on Oct.10 & weihed *L-f lbs .He &
his mother are very fine now,so we ex
pect them back from Cordova very soon.
His mother is Eva Davis Branch & they
will stay with the Harry Davis, family
who are the new grandparents that live
out at Willow Creek .Where thcy^areat
present buileding a cabin to live in,
where they will indulge in chicken
farming for the winter.Gordon works
with the A.R.C. in the summer's. This
is a very happy occasion for them,as
little Twig is their first son or child.

THE CHEERY WHISLE BLEW AGfflfA^Witi...
the exception of the week'that the
snowsheds were und ermined, this, has .
been the firs# train in 60 days..
The scedule'is: Cone up today*.
Sun. 16 th.
Will cone up again Mon. 17 th.
And will come up also Wed. 19 th.
This m<ay probably be the last RR
train until next May.The reason of
having so many trains in this one
w $ ek,is so enuf freight can be got
ten to McCarthy & Kennecott before
the snow slides down-'over where the
snowsheds used to be,to supply the
2''interior camps for the winter,as
they are very short of supplies er
accft of’ the long tie-up. Trobabl'
around 100 people will come down.
