Wouldn't Cut Wood.
A musher well known in Valdez
was cooking a pot of tea over a
camp fire near Ernestine, when
Governor Brady happened along.
The musher’s hair was long and
black and his clothes rather the
worse for wear, so, as he did notlook
up when the horseman approached,
it was not surprising that theGover
nor mistook him for a siwash, and
sprung a string of Chinook on
him.
“Halo sabe chinook” said the
musher, still watching the fire.
“Is that so.” said the governor,
“Well I am the white chief Brady
and am going to take all you nat
ives out to the coast to cut wood.
You will get hiyu muck-muck and
tenas chickamon. Now what is
your name?”
“Edwards is my name,” said the
musher finally looking up, “but I
want to put you wise to the fact
that this wood-cutting proposition
don’t go with me. I have mushed
a few hundred miles this summer
and a wood pile won’t look good to j
me this winter, and further than
that I will bet you a claim in f?hu
shitna against your job that if you
do succeed in inducing any swash
es to go to the wood yard, they
won’t cut enough all winter to fur
nish toothpicks for Felix’s restaur
ant. Take my tip and leave the
Biwashes alone.”
The governor nearly fell off his
horse, but finally recovered and
after apologizing for his mistake
went his way, wrapped in medita
tion.
