“COMMODORE’S”
BOAT SWAMPED
“Commodore” Hoffman lost a small
outfit of supplies in the bay at the foot
of Fourth avenue Thursday when his
power dory was swamped. He came
over from his ranch Wednesday eve
ning and after loading decided to la)
over for the night. The southwest
wind floated two of the piles loose from
the raft in front of the dock and the)
drifted in, forcing the dory sideways to
the chop and it filled. Most of the
“Commodore’s goods have been fished
out of the shallow' water acd he will
loose only the supplies which were
damaged by water.

the best paper in Alaska I
[vE EDITOR RAMBLES J |
I met Mayor Boe In his plumbing!
shop yesterday and he said he i
hoped this would be a regular paper
after today
And I told him it would he
And he said he believed it and gave
me an ad and said ho hoped the paper
would grow faster than the town
And I said thanks.
—
I think 1 am going to like that man
Boe.
And then I went to the Seward Com
mercial company and said to Bill Sau
ers
How’s business?
And lie said it’s fine, but if they
don’t hurry up and toll me when they
are going to start building that rail
road from this burg I'll die of excite
! merit.
_
i And T told him 1 felt the same way
I and I had just written the president to
hurry up. Evidently he got the mes
sage.
And then I went down to the Seward
dock to find out from “Teddy" Thede
why he wouldn’t let that halibut boat
tie up to the dock.
And he said it’s cheaper for ’em to
drop the anchor.
And I said suppose they can’t find it
I when they want to leave
And he tapped his forehead in a
knowing way, and I didn’t think he
wanted to talk any more about that so
f changed the subject.
I --
I asked him why he let both the Se*
1 attle boats come in on Saturday?
And he said because Hoben & Davis
! wanted to haul all the freight at once
so they could spend the rest of the
time hauling gravel away from Brown
& Hawkins’ cellar.
And then l told him lie must be
awful sore at Postmaster Hickey.
And he wanted to know why ]
And I said because 1 would have to
^ he pretty mad at a chap to have the
'■ mail boat come in at midnight and
have t«> set up all the rest of the night
myself just to make him set up too.
Aud Teddy picked up a cargo hook
and started my way.
I looked around and couldn’t see
anything near that could be intended
to pick up, so 1 beat it.
It’s a wise scribe who knows when
to move on.

“I’m puzzled about this custom of
