Dr. Tiedman and Vic Marion re
turned all right after their trip to
Thompson’s load house. The sur
gical operation was a complete suc
ci ss, and the patient will probably
be able to return to Valdez in less
than two months.
George Vantier, who left here
late this spring for the Tanana,
crossed Mentasta Pass, and at last
accounts was on the little Tokio
building a boat. When completed
the rest of his trip is easy as it
is down stream all the way to Fair
banks.
On Sunday last quite a pleasure
party consisting of Arthur M. Ed
wards, Jesse Martin, Felix Blei,
George French and Mr. Elwell took
a trip to the glacier and mounted
tip to what is known as the third
bench. They enjoyed the trip
very much and returned early in
the evening.
In true western style the town
was invaded yesterday by a detach
ment of nine men and eighteen
horses, all from the Nizina. They
left the latter place on May 19th,
and had plain sailing until they
■truck the heavy snow on the di
vide of the coast range. The snow
there is extremely deep, but being
old hands at the business, they got
the horses through where men of
less experience would have been
compelled to bait. There was in
the party Wm. Wortman, I. Loom
is, Chas. McCourt, Clint McCourt,
Mr. Montgomery, Chas. Craig, Jack
Brazil, £ainmy Eilis and Ceorge
Francis. They felt so happy on
reaching Valdez that they rode
madly through the town in good
imitation of the cowboy, lacking
the firing of pistols. These tin y
had, but bad also sense enough
not to use them- Arriving at the
barber shop they all got shaved,
and the barber is now busy pan
ning out their whiskers with good
results.
