OLD ALA8KAN ANNIOU8
TO RETURN TO NORTH
William F. Schnabel, for some time
deputy United States marshal under
Marshal H. L. Faulkner, stationed at
Wrangll, and now chief of police at
Caldwell Idaho, in a letter to Chief of
Police Harding of Juneau, writes of
I hs longing to return to the land of
the aurora borealis, says the Juneau
I Dispatch. Schnabel, or "Hill” as he is
familiarly known by a large circle of
friends in the city, says:
‘I would be a happy man if I could.
; once more spend a few days with the!
'old gang' at Juneau, Ketchikan, or'
Wrangell. I often have an irresist
ible longing for Alaska. It is impos
: sible to shake off the lure of tlte
! North.
I "Where I am now located I have
. friends, good climate, everything my
| heart desires, hut still I long to camp
| once more among the mighty ninnn
i tains and rivers of the glorious north.
, I wish I could once again kill a moose,
hunt a sheep, or kill a grizzly. Man
is born to kick, I suppose; never satis
fied. I am always restless, always
want to look beyond the hills or
mountains, always want to go where
things are wild and where nature is
most beautiful. To camp once more
in the woods near the mighty Yukon
would be a treat to me. What a won
derful spell is produced by the word
‘Yukon.’
“It recalls to me days that will nev
er come again; it recalls hardships,
hunger, poverty, and yet I long to try
it all over again. The world will never
know, never understand, what that
word means to a sourdough. I love
Alaska and its people. If I can't live
in Idaho, I want to live in Alaska.
God bless her and let her bloom out
and prosper. 1 have many friends in
Juneau whom I love from the bottom
of my heart and I love the old town.”
Schanbel was for many years an
officer in various camps of the inter
ior of Alaska.

IT would be foolish to pan

It’s just as senseless to wear a

onto the uppers so that they can
spring a leak any time.
“Hipress” Boots are made all in
one piece so that they can't leak.
