J. A. Moore, of the United States
j Land Office and manager for the gov
ernment of the city of Anchorage,
! otherwise mayor, is now in Seward
having been “shanghaied” on the Far
ragut by the ice conditions in Cook
Inlet Mr. Moore went aboard the
Farragut at Anchorage to see some
friends and was unable to return to (
shore. When the Farragut pulled out
with the scows to load them she was
unable to go back through the ice and i
the result is that Anchorage is with-1
out its mayor and Seward has the |
pleasure of his genial presence for j
the present. Mr. Moore will go back
overland. He speaks highly of his
city and seems, indeed, to be very I
proud of her. Messrs. Christensen |
' and Mr. Parks, also of the land do- |
partmont, say that they are voluntary
travelers hitherward. Mayor Moore |
takes the joke on himself in the best
spirit.

The summer’s slipping away again,
And winter’s almost here;
The boys are coming from the hills
In search of warmth and cheer.
Come; all you lads from Anchorage
When you crave a glass of beer.
You're welcome as the flowers In May,
And no one is siwashed here.
“ PALACE JINGLES "
They meet down at the Palace
For a glass of Sherwood Rye,
And to tell about the finds they’ve
made,
As the winter passes by.

And from every camp afar,
For we join you in goodfellowbhip
At the famous Palace Bar.
