CHITINA, ALASKA. DECEMBER 20>, 1921,
ESN ROBESD.
It is a good thing to live.in an
honest place like Alaska.I guess
Ben Thompson wishes he was back in
Alaska right now,as he was in the
Cordova hospital for tjuite a while
and then he went to Seattle for a
change .He had $600 hard earned on
his person to keep safe. He had
hardly got to Seattle when some yegg
held him up and took it off of him.
He could better have had it in per
fectly good travellers checks which
he could have got at any bank or Ex
press Co. which we would advise him
to do.The States must be a awful
place where they take away the Rail
road boys’ money.
RADIO TALKS NICE.
We saw Lee Smalley today and he was
playihg his radio. It is one of the
best radios in town and Hr Smalley
looked’very satisfied.
XMAS WINDOW.
Billy tibbs has his store window
all fixed up for Santa.He has got a
beautiful Christmas tree all spang
led up and raindeer moss at the bot1
om for Santa's raindeer to eat. He
has everything that you would want t
to get to give away for Christmas.
Billy and Bertha had picked this
moss last summer and saved it all
this while for Santa’s team.
FORE FATHERS' DAY.
Have you put your Corn and beans
to soak for your suckatash on
Fore fathers8 Day.?
IN JAIL.
Squeak Easy Peter Gregory has
gone to jail for three monthes
because he gave and sold intoxicat
ing boose to the Indians. Squeaky is
a sample of the kind we are getting
too many of in Alaska nowadays. He
has never saved a cent and now he
whines that he cannot make a living
unless he sells boose to the Indians
He is the kind that the Territory is
spending most of its mone£ to suppox
t.
HARRY TAYLOR LEAVES.

his sick mother.She is not expected
to live. We hope she will recover.
SNOWBIRD RUNS FINE.

count of the travk wheels being

of the first rides.
A BRAVE BOY.
Jackie Coats also went to a hospi*
tal this week to have his tonsils &
adenoise taken .pulp. , He waj, .p.1 so
very good about talcing the ether &
was a brave boy.
Some Of The Oldtimers Were
made out of good tough stuff. When
John McCrary got very sick at Coppe
r Center last week they took him to
the hocpital at Kennecott and cut
him open. They said so many things
were crosswise that he could not
live.But today they report that he
is setting up eating and promises t
o be home in a couple of weeks. We
hope he improves.
ORA 0. K. NOW.
Ora Nelson had a pair of shoes
that were too stiff,and caused a
blister on her ankle and then infec
tion set in and. soon her leg was sw
olen up to her knee. Mrs. Nelson de
cided if she was not better by the
next morning she would send her to
Kennecott,but the next morning she
was worse than ever so she sent her
up to Kennecott by night she had a
fever. Dr. Wilson decided that he
had better tap her leg that night.
He said that Ora was a dandy patient

Sundt’s tractor. He was gone nearly
a month .When he came in today he
stopped at a Road House to warm up

E. S. MGRLBY.
E.S.Kordby just came back from th
e outside to spend Christmas here.
He must think this is a nice place
to live in. He was here last
Christmas too.
We hear, that Little ed miller
who was a barber here last summer
and a trapper last winter and skin- '
ned a lot of foxes and people is
sick again in Fairbanks. Maybe he
is sick again because he finds that
• he cannot skin the people in Fair
banks the way he has in all the<
other places where he has been in
Alaska. Wherever he goes he runs up
a lot of bills nd never pays any o
f them. People feel sQzryjQ? him ^
always because he is so Small/
