WARDENS FLY LARGE
AREAS IN FEW HOURS
Trappers are a pretty good lot
of folks in Wildlife Agent Jack,
O’Connor’s area — but they are |
even better these days, “Game
Comm ission ally speaking.”
Reason? A good one.
Agents O’Connor and Gren
Collins have been making aerial
.patrols in Agent Collin’s two
place airplane.
“Well, we’re not surprised,”
trappers greet them, “We've seen
wardens traveling, in every con
ceivable way” as they drop out
of the sky poking their official
( noses out of an airplane.
Time was when wardens mush
ed slowly over males of trail
checking during beaver trapping
season—sometimes heralded via
tmukluk wireless; but now they
have taken to wings even as have
the trappers traders and fur buy
ers in Alaska. Mushing is not out
either, for often landing places
even on skis, are not always pro
perly located so the boys take to
their snowshoes.
Recently these two represent
atives of the Alaska Game Com
mission covered approximately
1,500 males in about 15 hours
flight. They dropped in at var
ous trapping grounds, lakes, and
cabins as well as trading posts.!
They flew over most of the beav
er area on both sides of the Al-1
ask a Railroad as far north as Tal
keetna, across the Susistna flats,1
around the Yentna and Swentna J
drainage along Cook Inlet, thru j
Lake Clark Pass and over the
drainage regions of Lakes Clark
and Il'Laimna.
On return trip due to the fact
ithat Lake Clark Pass was plug
ged with fog, they swung over
part of the Mulchatna and Stony
River valleys and broke thru the
Alaska Range via Merrill Pass.
Collins is a holder of a private
pilot’s license and has logged ov
er 100 hours since last October
in his light plane, covering bis
own district which includes most
of the Arctic. His headquarters
are at Nome. Colling has over
200 hours, having flown Outside
before coming to Alaska.

“Oldest Man” In
Alaska Is Dead
Walter Freisberger, who was
an arrival Sunday from Fair
banks, dropped into the Nugget
office today. He said he would
like to shake hands with the old
est man in Alaska, when intro
duced to the publisher of 'the
Nugget. The publisher immediate
ly informed the young man that
the oldest man in Alaska died
some ten years ago, his name
was “Doc” Brinker.
“Well” he said “there must be
some mistake," because Dave
Tweksbury 'who is telegraph ed
tor on the Daily News-Miner at
Fairbanks, told him to drop in to
the Nugget office at Nome and
give George Maynard his best
regards.
I explained to the newcomer
that Dave Tweksbury was an old
man when he and I worked to
gether on the Nome paper in
1900. and that reminded, me that
Dave almost lost his life one win
ter morning at Nome. Dave lived
on the Sandspit with some 5000
other inhabitants, and ran into
an overflow on Snake River
when grossing on his way to
work in the morning.
The weather was 40 degrees be
low zero, and Dave was wet from
head to foot and due to the ex
treme cold weather his clothing
froze to his hide, thus prevent
ing him from freezing to death.
You see, the ice acted as a sort
of insulation.
Well, we built a big hot fire in
the printing office and propped
Dave up along side the coal stove
Pretty soon the .ice began to melt
aind the printer’s devltl bad a
H . . 1 of a time keeping the
printing office from becoming a
skating rink.
After due time and considera
tion, also a hot drink, Dave sat
down and wrote a gruesome
story of what might have happen
ed, if some old-time printers
were not around.

Cheechacco Dance
The Cheechacco Dance this
spring will be given under the
auspices of the Nome Volunteer
Fire Department. The public
school gym has been obtained
for the occasion and the best
music obtainable will be on hand.
Due to the fact that it is im
possible to set the date at this
time due to ice condtions which
may alter the arrival time of the
S. S. C dumbia, first passenger
boat, the Committee in charge
announces that the dance will
take place the first night follow
ing the arrival of the passenger
boat.
The proceeds from the dance
are to be used for the purchase
of an Inhalator for use of the
community. This is a noteworthy
object, and whether you dance or
whether you attend, your pur
chase of a ticket will be for a
good cause, and for something
that this section needs badly. The
price of admission will be adults
$1.00. Give the Fire boys a hand
and let the Nome spirit prevail.

You’re sure to have a heap of woe!
I’ve drained your oil! Heh! Heh! At last
I’ll catch you for a fine repast!”
They’re off! How merrily they go
Plumb full of joy and hi-de-ho!
“Turn here,” two foolish porkers say,
“Our swimmin’ hole is down this way.”
“Tush! Tush! You boys, don’t make me nervous, l ?W7~!7^vWy
The third one yells—“First, Standard Service!” i
“Good thing you came,” says Standard’s Man,
I “Here’s trouble in the old oil pan.
So Mr. Wolf’s been up to tricks—
Relax! There’s nothing we can’t fix!”
He checks the car from head to heels
And off they drive with joyful squeals!
With Standard Gas they roll in high!
The wolf is mad enough to cry!
“It’s Standard Service done me wrong,”
Wails he. The pigs break out in song:
“Play dirty tricks, Wolf, if you must
But meanwhile, please excuse our dust!
Begone, you rascal! Again you fail!
It’s Hail to Standard! Standard Hail!”
