CHARLEY TAYLOR
HAS THE GRIP
Charley Taylor at the Alaska
Sl' aship company’s dock lias
(lie grip, not the going away
1ml the stay with yon kind, and
it behooves ns one and all to
step lightly when down on the
dock, or there is no telling
■what might happen.
THE DEPARTED
They may prance around in
congress to and fro as they
pranced around in days of long
ago; but the wild and wooiy
game never more will seem the i
same, since the voters put the
lid on Uncle Joe. Oh, a stran.
ger in the house will hold his
chair; and a stranger at his
desk will rip and swear; and
the whiskers that we knew nev
er more will be in view, some
one else’s bunch of hangdowns
will be there. Oh, we’ll miss
that good old face with its
cigar! And we’ll miss the
raucous snorting of the czar!
Through the legislative men
may get milling now and then,
they’ll be shy their scrapping
Henry of Navarre. And the
Murdocks and the Norrises and
those who were always reach.,
ing out for Uncle’s nose, if
they want to start a scrap must
shake up a weaker chap, for
they’ve lost the hardest hitting
of their foes. Oh, the voters
rose and exercised their power
and they handed Uncle Joe a
lemon sour; they extinguished
all (he light of the beacon on
the height, and they paralyzed
the watchman on the tower.
Hack to Danville and the dump
goes Uncle Joe, and the zephyrs
through his galways sadly blow
and though enemies declare
that his proper place is there,
oh, I kind ’o sort 'o hate to see
him go’.

LAUCH UNION A
TOTAL WRECK
According to word received
from Roe Point cannery, the
higli winds of last week com
pletely demolished Capt. “Jim
Thompson’s gasoline launeh
Union. She was at anchor be
tween the two wharves at the
cannery and the immense
waves driven by the gale liter
ally pounded her to pieces.
They first stove in the win.
and filled the craft, and then
demolished house and upper
works, finally tearing loose the
chocks to which the anchor
lines were fastened. She then
drifted ashore a total wreck,
and all that Capt. Thompson
could do was to get a line a.
round the engine before the
whole thing sank. He will
probably be able to sava|_ the
engine, but not even a vestige
of the launch remains.
CHARLEY WAS UNDECIDED
C. 0. Julian who returned
from the south on a recent boat
tells the story that he met
Charley Deppe on the street in
Seattle during the cold snap
there arid that Charley was de
bating as to whether he had
better invest his money in a
heavy fur lined overcoat or buy
a ticket back home. As he did
not arrive on any of this weeks
boats it were safe to infer at
least that lie is now wearing
the overcoat. Julian says that
the weather in the south is
fierce, and it was with a sigh
of relief that he climbed on
board the Curacao en route to
Port Julian, the thriving herr
ing metropolis of Behm canal.
