ALASKA’S LATEST NEWSPAPER
IS A LIVELY INFANT
A hummer was born at -Mc
Carthy* -Alaska, t Saturday, Feb
ruary 19,-^910, when No. t, Vol
ume 1, of the Copper Bee, the
newest and newiest infant north
of 53 degrees. Capt J. F. Hu
brick, former Dawson ferryman,
later of the Tower roadhouse on
Hunker, is editor, owner, print
er, printer s devil, reporter, local
and foreign correspondent and
all round poo-bah. he paper is
11 by 8 inches, six pages, in
size, but that’s the only small
thing about it for it sure- was
born a-roarin.’ The price as
quoted is, twenty five cents per
or one buck rabbit. Captain
Jack says that, owing to the rush
of going to press he didn’t have
time to hustle a proof reader, but
he advertises for one and wants
him to ‘‘come a-runnin„” and
with his hat, coat and vest off so
that there will be no lost motion
getting into action. He also ad
vertises or a Klootch, one afflict
ed with rheumatism, to watch
the beans. His first editorial and
some of the news items follow:
Dear Judge, be merciful. This
is our first offense, or perhaps
better say attempt, at having
anything to do with either type
or press. If our readers knew
the conditions under which this j
little infant paper was born they j
would be surprised.
We have been asked by friends
to roast those whom they dislike, j
This we decline to do.
Quite a little business around
town these days We sold a post
card photo the other day, and,
went right straight down town.
and blew in the money, but we
have always been a spendthrift, >
so what’s the use.
Miss Frankie Hall, from Chis
ana, called at the studio and pur-;
chased a seneca roll film kodak
with corrected “anastigmat” lens
just about the best thing made
in the kodak line for Alaska
Miss Hall has that northern
spirit—Alaskans want the best.
Messrs. James, Johnson, Nel
son and Stanley, the Chisana op~j
erators, are moving the largest i
outfit over the trail that has ever
been undertaken in these parts,
and everything appears to move
along like clockwork. A clear
case of brawn and years of ex
perience in the north. The James
party is so well known in Alaska
that comments are unnecessary.
We noticed crepe dangling
from some of our bachelors’ cabin
doors a few days ago, and, on
inquiry, found that the Chicken
left town; went to Cordova to
have a tooth pulled, all a waste
of time and money. Our marshal
has pulled everything from a
Yukon sled to a bootlegger, and
why not the tooth. It is the
marshal’s duty to preserve the
peace and happiness of our citi
zens, and when said tooth be
came obstreperous he should
have at once caused an arrest
and stopped this money leakage
Cordovaward. After those tooth
carpenters get through with this
“corpse’y” looking molar they
may permit the Chicken to bring
it home with her, and turn same
over to the marshal, to be dealt
with according to law.
Rabbit Catching Anna was
seen hiking out at 4 a- m. yes
terday while our game warden
was busy sawing wood.
Tenas Jennie called at our
sanctum a few dayso ago and left
a smile. Come again, Jen.
Fred Bode is preparing to do
very extensive work on his Cop
per creek property the coming
sumer, having already shipped in
eighty five tons of supplies. Fred
in there.
Judge A1 Doze will freight an
outfit to the headwaters of the
Little Bremer some time in
April.
William Godfrey, manager of
the Mother Lode mine, is sure
some hustler. Freighting the ore
down to McCarthy for shipment
to the smelter keeps Bill on the
trail day and night.
Quite a number of Chisana
mining men are to be seen on
the streets these days.
The dog poisoner is out again
stringing his bait. Johnnie Bar
rett lost his leader a few days
ago. A person that will poison
yotir dog, will also set your
house on lire, and shoot you ac
cidentally. He is to be feared
iiid --despised.
Wanted—A klootch, one at
dieted with rheumatism, to
watch the beans.
Wanted—A nice young girl
for general housework. See the
qaptain.
We must apologize to our
readers for not being on time
with this issue. Our klootch, be
ing of an inventive turn of mind,
has been doing a little experi
menting without letting us in on
the play. When ready to go to
press there was no printers’ ink
to be found. Upon investigation
we found she had been dyeing
rabbit skins with the black ink
r.nd .felling them to cheechaco
ourists for glacier mink. When
sked as to what she did with
he green ink stile replied, “Q,
you know we makem hi yu blue
fox. Getem heap money." Upon
her producing the skins we were
at a loss for a moment as to
where she snared such large
skins, but the whole thing soon
dawned upon us. Curses and
curses. The tallow faced pigeon
toed, red eyed squaw had killed
our nine prize malamute racing
pups, and, think of it, only a few
days ago Too~Much Johnson oD
fered us a round two thousand
bucks for the team. After the
w'ajr clouds had blown by the
next day our klootch returned,
saying, “Me heap sorrow for
pups.” She had been at George
Rust’s all night and did well,
bringing home a can of snooze
and a thirty cent calabash pipe;
but, then it is all right; George
is a friend of our.—Dawson
News.
R IN ADVERTISING
The following examples of
more or less authentic classified
advertisements says Printers' Ink
are taken from the Christmas
number of the Advertisers'
Weekly, London:
The late Hugh Stowel Brown,
} of Liverpool, a man of extraor
i dinary girth tells us in his auto
: oiography that going to Wigan
to preach he found the following
rural advertisement, due to the
i keenness of bill sticking rivalry:!
"Hugh Stowel Brown of Liver
pool the largest cheese in the
world, eight feet in girth and
weighing 3oo pounds will be ex
hibited at the Goose and Gridiron.
Admission i penny."
A chiropodist anounccs that he
has removed corns from the
crowned heads of Europe.
An exployer of labor conclude8
his advertisement for assistants
with the significant nota bene:
"None need apply who are in
the habit of being poorly on
Monday morning."
"Two sisters want washing,’’
ran an advertisement for several
weeks, until some one wrote an t
asked why in the name of decen
cy they didn't get washed at once.
An advertiser says he has a
cottage to let containing eight
rooms and an acre of land.
And a business woman in the
country who evidently knows
more about managing a hotel
than she knows about the Eng
lish language, announces: ‘This
hotel will be kept by the widow
of the former landlord, Mr.
Brown, who died last summer on
a new and approved plan "
