JOHN BAGOY NOW IN
BUSINESS AT FLAT CITY
John Bagoy, the liquor dealer of Dis.
Otter whose place of business was demol
ished last week by the mining operations
at that place, has purchased the Stanley
house and bar at Flat City, and is now in
possession of the premises. Mr. Bagoy was
in Iditarod last Tuesday, making arrange
ments for the transfer of the liquor license.
He says that he intends to change the
name of the Stanley house and christen it
the “Three-Times Move Bar.” because he
moved three times during hte past twelve
months. Mr. Bagoy will make several
needed improvements to his new place of
business.
THE BRANCH ALL DOLLED UP
Since his return from the Outside. Young
Eddie Anderson of the Branch Bar, Flat
City, has been busy making improvements
about the sample room, and with the aid
of paperhangers and painters the snug and
popular little place now presents a most in
viting appearance. While touring the
States last winter Mr. Anderson learned
several new features in his line, and they
will all be displayed before very long, and
in good time.
Johnny Nelson, formerly the manager of
Iditarod’s messenger service, arrived in the
city last Monday, after an absence of two
years.

THE SOURDOUGH'S RETURN
Take me back across the Chilcoot, that’s
the only land for me!
Wherv through canyons. lakes and rapids
Yukon wanders to the sea;
Where a soul can thrive unfettered where
the heart grows big and great.
boundless space to work and war in,
boundless hush to meditate:
Where tlie Yukon with the Klondike welds
in haunting harmony.
That'* as good as r.od e’er made it. and
it’s plenty good for me.
Take me back across the Chilcoot. yes, with
nothing in my jeans;
Just a little raft ■*' timber, sack o’ our
an' sack o' beans.
And I’ll drift to the old pasture, open
throated. full-lunged, glad.
Every drop o' blood as thrillful as the
thundering Iliad:
ball! you shackles o’ convention weigh my
spirits down to zee;
you may have your brick and mortar a
log cabin's good for me.
At the place where I'm a-boardin' I've a
room, and sure's you're born.
Ne'er a gleam o’ sunshine enters, no’er can
tell when night or morn;
Ne’er a tree to rest my eye on, ne’er a cry
o’ bird or beast.
Sordid thoughts pollute the airways- fam
ine dies at nip of feast!
Were it not the human interest so absorb
ing. 1 confess
I’d be lonelier in your highways far than
in the wilderness!
Everybody saw me cornin' soon's 1 set my
foot on shore.
Sailing went the good old promise.
• | shall touch it nevermore.”
I've a thirst a bum would hang for if he
had a guarantee
That the "burning lake” was whisky, or
the ••vault” a brewery.
There the route is made so pleasant if
you've got a little poke,
It's like dreamin’ o’ a fortune to awake
an' IInd you’re broke.
nft I watch Tor hours at crossin's for a
chance to dodge the wheeli
n' the cabs an' cars an’ ’buses; and the
blamed automobiles
Steal behind me like a panther an’ before
me like a lion.
That it keeps me steppin’ sideways, or
they’d move me on to 7ion.
Say: I’ve seen some graft in Yukon, real
taught-by-mail-like stuff
Here they club an take it from ye if you
cannot chew their blufT.
Take me bark across the Chilcoot to the
Yukon watershed,
Where your cofthi isn't mortgaged for a
lousy crust of bread;
Where were ye like as Lazarus you’ve a
working chance to win
Without nibbling at your life for forty
years to do it in.
Here‘you ne’er let go the flesh-pots till the
yoke-straps rot air break,
An’ your starving soul discovers just too
late it’s life-mistake.
i
Take me back across the Chilcoot—Ram
part. Tanana or Nome;
Any camp along the Yukon’s good enough
to be my home;
With the bounty that is nature’s in her
breast and on her brow,
Waiting for the fearless worker—Hush!
she’s railing to me now!
There’s a boat just waitin’ handy; she looks
awful good to me.
Liberty! Say, you’re a darling, but I’m
going where you’re free.
—Robert Russell Strang.
REPAIRS AT ANSLEY’S STORE
Billy Ansley, the enterprising book store
man, has been putting things to rights
about his place of business during the past
week. With the aid of several assistants
Bill has straightened the walls of his house
and has leveled the sagging floor, and when
Heinrich Schneider, Iditarod’s premier in
terior decorator, gets through with the
painting and paperhanging stunt Uncle Billy
will have a beautiful store room.
When you come in from the creeks, bear
the impulse of the moment, and get the
habit of taking your time, and getting in
line, and bathing yourselves at the Crosby.

BOSS THAT WAS A BOSS
Generals who have commanded the far
Hung battle line and admirals who have
directed the movements of navies under
forced draught might have learned some
thing from the late J. Pierpont Morgan
about the art of having your own way,
says the Toledo Blade.
In the days when Morgan was in his i
greatness we used to read in the papers
about his being the “dominating figure,”
and that wherever he might happen to be.
How dominating he was has never been so i
well understood as it is now that the New
Haven management is getting investigated.
The big financier seems to have been a|
combination of regal autocrat and mule
skinner, giving his orders like a king boss
ing things from the throne, and laying on
the blacksnake when someone dared to
question his judgment, suggest a modifica
tion of his plans or point out a Haw in his
reasoning.
nut dominating weaKiy describes Mor
gan's chief characteristic. He had strong. :
self-willed men turning handsprings at his
pleasure. He put captains of industry, who
were afraid not even of their own wives, on
the gridiron and toasted them while they
meekly whisperer! “Thank you, Mr. Mor
gan.” Mellen ran a railroad as a hard
jawed teamster runs his outfit, with the
lash of fear. But Mellen was proud to
be known as “Morgan’s man.” and when
Morgan snarled at his for questioning a
very questionable financial report, Mellen
didn’t get mad or tell Morgan what he
thought of him, or pick up a chair and
whack him over the head—as he might
another man—but went away “deeply hu
miliated.”
You cannot help but wish that Morgan
had chosen to be a statesman—a good and j
patriotic statesman—and had gone to con- |
gress. He would have “got things.” He j
would have speeded up legislation. And he i
would have amused hi* country hugely by j
the antics he put his fellow statesmen
through.
Mrs. Ed M. Rusk came in from Flat on
Wednesday morning and will remain until
after the Fourth. _
