JACKSON HAS BEEN TRAINING
HIS DOG TEAM AT NIGHT
-- I l
Every night for the past two weeks
between the hours of ten and twelve
Doc Kemp claims to have seen some
thing In the nature of a long red
streak pass eastward on first avenue
outside his house. He did not speak
of the matter to his household bu
asked the neighbors. They claimed
to have seen nothing unusual, so Doc
began to worry.
He had visions of long dormitories,
well arranged tables without knives,
stalwart attendants, straight-jackets:
well to be candid, it was a large com
fortable building near Portland where
some Alaskans are sent to before they
go to heaven.
Doc was some worried. Who could
he confide in" Why, of course, Law' t
rence Kerr. so. between lemonades’
Lawrence bravely announced that he i
would see the thing through.
Promptly at 10 o'clock that night, j
wrapped up In two fur parkas W'hlch
he borrowed from George Diamond. t
armed with a "Gat" borrowed from
CJQeorge Lomen and seated on a piano
stool outside the Kemp residence the
doughty Lawrence took up his lonely
vigil.
Two hours went by, then the silence
or the nlKht was hroken by four shots
tired rapidly by our hero and Grant j
Jackson’s string of red bird dogs came
to a dead stop, and with tails straight1
out and noses away in the air awaited!
the hunter's next shot.
Did Lawrence faint? I should say!
not! Outside of shooting a few holes
In George Diamonds parka and scar
ing Grant Jackson to death, nothing
happened, and the mystery is solved,
for Grant Jackson was training his
bird dogs in secret after dark.
"Thank heaven I was right,” said
Doc later, "for I haven't had a snlf
er since the civil war and I began to
think I was seeing things."

partition walls In the rear of the shop

cover It and sounded an alarm. The
citizens responded quickly with fire
extinguishers and the tire was soon
out. Henry Vallery's water wagon
did much to kill the fire. An exam
ination showed the safeties all In good
shape. Spontaneous combustion is the
only answer.

SOURDOUGH DAYS WERE
REPRODUCED IN SEATTLE
•_ .. - .IT. ,.. . . . .1^-_ St -
- x lA r»
r
The Arctic Club of Seattle held its
annual sourdough dinner recently when
caribou meat and other Alaskan pro
ducts formed a greater portion of the
menu. Three hundred guests were
present, and good fellowship reigned
supreme.
Following the dinner the annual
celebration was held, when the gamb
ling and dancehall days of the north
were reproduced. Many of the old
time gamblers were manipulating the
games with the same old players on
the outside of the tables.
Hundreds of persons who had never
seen the northern camps during the
early days when gambling games were
run wide open, attended the affair to
see if the reproduction compared with
the stories they had heard of the
f IXD i
t
north.
A wireless Instrument had been In
stalled on the roof of the Arctic Club
building, and during the evening mes
sages were received from Governor
Strong and other Alaskans, who re
gretted they were unable to be pres
ent.

WORKERS SEEK
BETTERiHOMES
—
Homes for working people is a ques-,
tlon in Gastineau channel cities just
now. It is interesting to note that the
character of the workmen coming to
Alaska has undergone a radical change
in the last half a dozen years. For
merly most of them wero single men,
who were content to live in a 4x6 room
with a bunk In it. Most of them were
foreigners, who took little or no inter
est in ehu-ches, schools or even bath
tubs. But now the families are coming.
An indication of the extent of the
change is found In the fact that the
Treadwell company has recently cut
up one of Its large boarding houses
Into flats for families. This has af
forded a temporary relief on Douglas
Island, but It is only temporary. An
other encouraging featuro is that many
are seeking to own their homes, an
Indication of their intention to be
come permanent residents. The price
of lots In Douglas has more than dou
bled In the past two years. Home
building continued all through the
summer and fall. The home builders
are also taking more pride In the
style of the places of their abode, and
Douglas is no longer as much of a
stump town as it was once. Still there
are families today living In houses
not fit for human habitation.
AKSALA CARNIVAL.
All those having bills ugalnst the
Carnival are requested to send them
in at once to tha treasurer, Mr. J. V.
Sheldon at the Alaska bank.
BABY SLED CHEAP.
If you want a good light oak baby
sled cheap, tall at the Nugget office.
