Q. P. GOGGIN
ALASKAN DIDN’T NEED HIS
WATCH WHILE VISITING N. Y.l
yet make his way through the crowds
to work every day.
Hobblesklrt cars sitting New York
oi s short skirts, fur-topped boots and
ankle watches were the few manlfesta-j
lions of the big city that remained tin
meet firmly fixed In the senator's mem
ory.
“I got up one day In a crowded street
car to give a woman a seat and thf
rest ot the sitting male passengers
glared at me as If I were crazy.” hr
said yesterda y at the Frye "Maybe
they thought I might establish a dan
gerous precedent, for all the time t
was there I never saw one of that New
York gang give his seat to a woman,
no matter how old and tired she might
be. And the street cars. There are
lots of cars there with steps right
close to the ground. They told me that
women kicked so much about the high
steps that the company lowered the!
steps so the women with hobblesklrts j
could get on. I didn't see any hobble
skirts and all the women I saw wouldn't
have had any trouble getting up on
any step no matter how high, as they 1
all wear their dresses to their knees.
And that isn't all—they wear fur
topped shoes and ankle watches. I let!
my watch run dowm while in New I
York. I found I didn’t need It. Any-|
body can tell the time there on the |
street.”

KOYUKUKER CUTS
SWATH OUTSIRE
1 hat Death Valley, In producing th< |
famous “Scotty,” never had anythin? |
on the Keyukuk district of Alaska if ]
evident from an article appearing In i j
Portland, Ore., paper, in which It tells
the trouble Jim Kelly has In disposing
of the enormous wealth, which he
amassed on Hammond river. To al
Fairbanksans who know Mr. Kelly, and
to his old friends in the Koyukuk, and
there are many of them, the articl<
appearing In the outside paper will be
of interest. The heading of the story
Is: "Spending Monley is Hard Task
for Miner Making $3,000 a Day.” and
the item reads:
"It always makes Jim Kelly blush
with embarrassment to pay less than
$1 for anything he buys.
"Jim digs gold farther north than any
miner In the world, and he picks up,
enough metal every morning before I
breakfast to keep an average family In
clover for a year.
'Hs Is getting steadily richer at th<
rate of $3,000 a day, through his "three
above' claim on Hammond river, 200
miles inside the Alaskan Arctic circle
•' 'This chicken feed,’ said Kelly,
jingling a handful of quarters, dimes
and half dollars, 'makes me nervous. I
hate to look a man In the ey while I'nr
giving it to him. Getting rid of it is
the hardest thing I've done for many a
moon.’
“By way of contrast he drew a moose
hide 'poke' from his hip pocket. It wa:
stuffed with nuggets that would make
even a sourdough's eyes water. Lumps
of raw, yellow stuff as big as sparrow
eggs.
" 'During the last 23 days before 1
left home, he said, ‘I took $69,000 out
of 'three above,’ and not one nugget
was small enough to buy a good drag
of hootch at Coldfoot, the nearest
camp.'
“That was Jim Kelly’s notion of
something to mourn about.
“He had just breezed in from the far,
north, the first time ‘out’ in 20 years.;
He had made a vow when he went to j
Alaska in the first big stampede that)
he would not return until he had made'
a stake. With $300,000 salted away, he
thinks he's got a fair start.
“ 'First thing I did,’ confided Jim,
was to eat my fill of corn on the cob.
And I sure made that waiter's eyes |
bulge at the amount I ordered. That's!
something all my gold couldn’t buy on i
Hammond river, and I was almost des- j
perate for a taste of it.’
“A year ago Jim Kelly was poor.
His worldly goods conslted of a pinch
of flour and hunk of bacon strapped
on a husky back.—Ex.
