WEILER WRITES OBSERVATIONS
OF BIG OUTSIDE
(Continued from Yesterday.)
If Wilson and Roosy- run the
vote may not be cast or the least:
of the two evils will be voted for
The papers are now preaching
great prosperity in the United
States and show statistics for it,
but it is all owing to war materials
and is a poor basis for the dem
ocrats to get out on.
Seattle is full of Nomeites and
most of them are now figuring on
migrating toother climes. “Chick
en” Schaeffer is spending the win
ter at Seattle and still conducts
a milk ranch at Prince Kupert
which his brother runs during his
absence- At present 1 am unable
to recall in person many of those
whom I met but perliaps I will
later on.
1 haa intended to make the run
on tne i~oiwin wnicn is now un
the San Pedro-iViexico run, but
as they omy ouereu $40 compen
sation per month lor wireless man
and height clerk combined tne
position uid not appeal to me so
let it slide, there was also an ele
ment ot risk that should have been
vvoith something. 11 these people
maxe the corwin pay they will
buy the option tney noid on tne
boat—that is lor the period of six.
months. Should they do so, the
Corwin will tail to make the early
voyage to Nome as of yore, but 1
don 1 utiiik tne Corwin is suita
ble for that line ol trade and tne
option might be thrown up and
there is stui a remote citance tnat
you might see the famous cruiser
run her nose in the toaustead in
the eariy spring. 'lire Senator
will be taken orf the Nome run
and the Umatilla will be substi
tuted in its stead which will be a
great improvement and something
that the P. C. S. S. Co. should
have done long since. By the way
those ot the oid Corwin crew that
stuck were Gene Winter.
Capt. Healy, Engineer Logan,
Chief Mate Daily and Capt. Bell.
Gene only expects to make one
trip.
1 he war news still continues in
the usual way, I had hopes that
it would end in a few- months, but
by the looks of things now that ray
of sunshine is shattered as no one
is inclined to be the first to quit.
About half of that big loan that
was made to England by the Mor
gan outfit is still on the market
and no buyers and they are una
ble to float the bonds below par,
which goes to show that the
money interests are somewhat
skeptical, and that there is a
growing fear that the central pow
ers. will win, and should such be
the case they would suffer a total
loss.
At the present time there ap
pears that no loans are being made
to the allies, unless the same is
being done on the q t., but do not
believe that any great loans can
be made secretly without being
found out on the market. Russia
has sent a delegation of 15 promi
nent men to the United States to
negotiate a big loan, but am afraid
they will be disappointed as loans
of this kind are now considered
pretty bum by the Americans.
Did you hear about Doc Todd,
and that after his arrival in I.os
Angeles he found that some one
hau stolen his wife. Someone wac
telling me that he saw Doc in
San x-rancisco at Jellison’s sa
loon on 'ihird street, ana that he
was armed with two immense
Krupps and was flourishing them
around saying that he was in pur
suit of the despoiler of his happy
home ana all he wanted was just
one chance to see him so that he
could drill him full of holes. At
the present time I know not the
outcome of the pursuit- Henry
L dib it got married to some girl
111 Oakland whose name I did nof
find out. Henry has a job now
but don’t know at what- “Abbie”
Abendroth finally got tired of the
tough game in San Francisco and
tooK tne gas route, so poor Ab
don’t have to worry any more.
1 always thought that he was
made out of much sterner stuff
than that.
John Meyer and partner arc
running flying machine flights at
San Francisco and are doing fine.
Gilmore who just got back from
there said he wanted to take a
flight and as there was about ten
ahead of him he did not wait. A
flight of 15 miles costs $15 but I
would rather play solo with my
coin. Sam Cunningham is now
in Kansas visiting his relatives.
Sam does not like it out here at
a’!- just like many others who
have lived in Alaska to long to
have this kind of civilization to
learn all over again. Saw Harry
Egbert the other day in Seattle
he is the lad that used to sing in
public so much up there. Said
that he had a three-fourth section
of wheat land at Alberta and was
having a good crop every year
and was well satisfied.
Billy Draper has been in Seat
tle for several weeks says he is
tired of the Alaska game and ex
pects to go to California very
soon and get established at some
thing. see George Lorrimer, Nels
Peterson in Seattle quite fre
quently and they are still wait
ing for something to develop.
Howard Jones is working at a
laundry in Seattle and doing well.
Joe Sliscovitch is at Seattle and
I heard indirectly that his ore
showed very poor values- How
ever, this seems impossible, but
intend to find out more about this
statement before I would desire
to be quoted. Louis Lane returned
from the east and that young mil
lionaire Draper that made a voy
age with him will back him for
any amount and they are now
building a dandy power boat for
the Arctic and Draper will make
another cruise with him. I under
stand the boat will cost in the
neighborhood of $40,000.
'1 here are stil a lot of broken
men as also thousand of unem
ployed in the United States and!
a person can imagine that for the
reason the munition factories
have given a vast number em
ployment, and were in not for
that, conditions would indeed be
deplorable and much worse than
last year. There are still hun
dreds of men, even in this town,
that are knocking on back doors
offiering to split wood for a bite j
to eat, as many following the]
wood wagons so as to get the job
of throwing it in for a dime, and!
as long as there are men compell
ed to live in this manner times are
not good in my opinion, no mat
ter what the boosters say.
We have been having some|
tough weather this season out!
here, with several inches of snow
New Years and today is the 3rd
with several more inches of snow
and the thermometer 23 which is
a regular blizzard out here, but
to me it appears to be mild and
very summer like and enjoy it
Even all parts of California, even
Los Angeles, have been visited
with the beautiful, and Frisco had
a real blizzard today, but weather
like this ought to be a treat to*
the natives out here.
Now as for myself I have sev
eral irons in the fire in this town
and should I not be able to con
nect with any of them, I con
template going to San Francisco
and look things over down there
and see what’s doing. If nothing
turns up to my advantage out here
by spring I might take another
run up to Nome or may take a
try at Seward. Wishing everyone
on Seward peninsula a prosperous
New Year, I am as ever

WOOD EXPENSIVE
IN 1HEIDITAHUD
Advices receivel from the Idi
tarod indicate that it is hard to
g't wood thermit any price. Wood
was selling for from $20 to S23
a cord, and Iditarod has had a
mighty cold winter
For quite a while during the
month of December, the thermo
meter registered below 25 degrees
below zero, and the people there
had to use up a lot of wood to
keep warm.
It is a long haul tolditarod and
wood is scarce, so the consumer is
forced to dig up at least half as
much for four-foot wood as the
Fairbanksan has to dig up to get
the wood and have it sawed.
There is none too much wood in
Fairbanks now, but practically
every one has enough to last a
few days logger. The cold wea
ther makes it impossible for the
teamsters to take their stock out
of the barn, and the deep snow ,
prevented them from hauling their
usual size loads for a week before
'he cold snap hit the town. If.
the cold weather keeps up for an
other week, the wood problem
may become a serious one.—Fair
uiuks Times.
