PUT UP JOB
ON COKE HILL
Some one has put one over on
E. Coke Hill, says the Ruby Rec
ord. Last week he received just
sixteen letters from Seattle chil
dren to “Now please, Mr. Hill,
give me one of them dogs.”
It all came of some one who
called himself Ira Lee claiming to
represent Mr. Hill in Seattle with1
a string of dogs along about New
Years.
One of the boys who wanted a
dog reinforced his claim by en
closing the following clipping
from a Seattle newspaper:
“DRIVES A DOG
‘TEAM THROUGH
“STREETS.
"Nine of the fastest racing dogs(
in the world mushed over Seattle
streets Saturday. They came from
the kennels of United State* Com
missioner E. Coke Hill, at Ruby,
Alaska, to Seattle for a six week
stay.
“Five of them will never race
again.
“They were not quite fast
enough in the last Alaska sweep
stakes They didn’t win, so Com
missioner Hill is going to give
them to five Seattle youngsters.
"Money can’t buy any of these
dogs,’’ said Ira Lee, musher for
the commissioner. “But he will
probably give five of them away,
and it might pay Seattle kids to
write to him and ask for one.”
"Until the New Year’s snow
came he had to exercise the racers
in Seattle by hitching them to an
automobile. The snow offered the
opportunity for the kind of a work
out he wanted, so they covered
miles of slippery pavement.
“The dogs are a cross between
malamute, hound and bird dog.”
Who Ira Lee is is a question
that a certain Ruby dentist who
mushed outside this winter might
be able to answer. However, this
is merely surmise and there is no
use to jump at conclusions.
“In speaking of the letters he
I received, Mr. Hill said: “If I had
a way of getting them out there,
hanged if I wouldn’t send those
kids a few dogs, anyhow.”.

HOOF OF EXTINCT HORSE
FOUND AT ROBY
Last sumer while the United
States geological party under Geo.
L. Harrington was engaged in
Ruby district, John Hanson, then
prospecting on Swift creek, pre
sented Mr. Harrington with a
fossilized hoof of a kind unusual
to miners here. Mr. Harrington
carried the specimen away when
he left, and regarding it Mr. Han
son has received the following
note, dated Washington, Novem
ber 6:
“Mr. John Hanson,
“Long, Alaska:
“My dear Mr. Hanson—Last
—
summer while on Swift creek you
gave me a bone which you
thought was a horse’s hoof. On
my return to Washington I sub
mitted the bone to the National
Museum and was told today that
it was the front hoof of an extinct
horse. They were unable to de
termine any more about it
“Very truly yours.
“GEO L. HARRINGTON.”

HORSEMEN MAKE
GOOD FLIERS
New York Tribune.
A good horseman generally
makes a good flier, whereas a
good mechanic or even a good
motor driver does not, necessarily.
I would guarantee to make bet
ter military aviators out of a
bunch of Montana horsebreakers
than out of a group of drivers of
racing motor cars.
Where the horseman has the ad
vantage is that he is used to be
ing jolted vertically more than is
the motor driver, and, further
more, he has “an eye for the coun
try,” which the motorist lacks,
and and this helps him in spotting
what is below him, and still more
in judging his landings on rough
or tricky ground A horsemen’s
hands are much more delicate on
the control lever of an aeroplane
than are those of the average mo
torist.

international complications the
proprietors of southern hotels
have begun to banish French
chefs; An ancient tradition and
an ancient friendship are thus de
stroyed. The pates and glaces and
other French delicacies with a
tendency to give acute indigestion
are to be no more.
And for whom are these culin
ary chieftaius being, if one may
put it so ungraceful, fired ? In the
fair far southland there is no pre- j
judice. What is wanted i9 good^
food, bv whatever hand prepared.
Those of us dwelling in the pain
mi north who can afford to go
south, go there with an appetite
made keen for beaten biscuit, for
chicken just so, for candied yams
or sugared sweets There is re
corded the case of a man who
traveled 200 miles that he might
eat of the omelet souifle as it was
practiced by one who borne the
sweet name of Lavinia Nobleton,
and who prayed over each omelet.
To cater to such appetites, south
ern proprietors tried to import
French chefs. They have failed.
On Broad street, yes. Below the
Potomac, no. The “mammy" has
stepped from the mansion kitchen!
to the great hotel.
