R.R. CONTRACTOR
IS SONG WRITER
Latest Success Published hy Seattle
Music House for Nonana
Man
“To an Idol. A ballad. Words and
Music by Robert M. Crawford, com
! poser of ‘My Northland/ etc.”
Those are the words on the fly leaf
of a piece of new sheet music just
published by the Echo Music company,
of Seattle. They mean that “Bobbie”
Crawford, son of Mr. and Mrs^ R. M.
! Crawford, of Fairbanks, who is now a
contractor on the Alaska government
railroad near Nenana, has made an
other song writing success. Some time
during his spare moments last sum
mer he wrote the song. He sent it to
the music publishers last fall, and it
has just been issued in sheet music
torm. „
At the top of the first inside page
is stated, “To My Friend, Miss Ida
McCready,” who young Crawford met
while attending school during the sev
eral years he was Outside. She re
sides in Seattle and is said to b<
worthy of all of the praise which has
been bestowed upon her. What the
young author thinks of her is best de
scribed in the following lines of “To an
Idol:”
Oft’ in the wilds of my Northland
home
Dreams come, dreams of thee;
Sending my love and my thoughts to
roam
Across the seas to thee.
Idol, our hearts entwine, dear, at love’s
own door,
Though parting holds the key.
Your image, dear, and those dear
brown eyes,
Cups carved in golden memories.
Oft’ in the wild’s silent call I hear
List’ning for thee,
Love’s still, small voice sounding
sweet and clear
| ‘Come back, come back to me.’
Idol, love but the hand of one divine
And true as Heaven is true
Could ever from thoso dear eyes of
thine
j Or one so fair or true as you.

LABOR SHORT
AT ANCHORAGE
Shortage on Inlet Same as Here and
Ah Result Railroad CrewB
Short-handed
The labor situation in Anchorage,
especially with the A. E. C., stands
about the same as for the past two
months. There is a constant call for
from f>0 to 100 laborers on station
work, but these places are not being
filled because few men are coming in.
The shortage is both apparent and
real, for more men could be used were
they available, but not being obtain
able, the work is going on with the
present forces.
There are many in the vicinity who
are without work, but these are men
who want something better than sta
tion labor. The trainmaster is daily
besieged with dozens of applicants for
positions as brakemen and trainmen,
while clerks, warehousemen and people
for trained or responsible positions are
ahead of the demand.

SMALL STRIKE ON
NENANA WATERFRONT
Word has been received via Fair
banks that there was a waterfront
strike at Nenana during the latter part
of June, which was quickly settled by
the employment of new men to take
the places of twenty-five who refused
to unload the river boat Alaska. No
more trouble is anticipated.
