KOYUKUK MEN
AFTER WIRELESS
Tatiana, May 4.—The people of Wise
man have signed a petition and for
warded it to Washington asking that
the United States government estab
lish a wireless station at some point
in the Koyukuk country, which is con
sidered the farthest north gold hearing
district in Alaska. Wiseman is about
80 miles north of the Arctic circle. In
summer the mail comes by way of the
Koyukuk river, 620 miles from the
Yukon. Usually there are hut one or
two mails a month. In the winter the
mails are brought once a month over
land from Fort Gibbon, about 400miles.
It is pointed out that a wireless station
there could work with the Fort Gib
bon or Kaltag plants of the signal
corps, and relay by the land wires to
Fairbanks and outside.

There was a lot of excitement down
town today.
And ! rushed down to find out all
about it,
Because I was sure that it was a hig
story.
And 1 found out that it was only a
public debate,
The question being,
Resolved, that four saloons are al
right, but live are two many.
Maybe three would be right?
And then I found the old alley to
the Seward blocked up, and went around
and asked -‘Lucky” Baldwin what was
• the matter,
' And lie said he was running a first
class house, and the way in was
i through the Trout door.
And then i went over to Brown it
Hawkins' and looked over the assort- j
ment of clerks, bookkeepers and cash-'
iers.
And decided that there is one man
in town who expects a lot of newcom
ers by the next boat—or boats.
And then 1 met a city councilman
And told him tin* council better get
busy and appoint a committee to wel
come new business men who come to
Seward.
And he said it was a good idea.
And that they would do it at the very
| next meeting.
And then 1 went down to the beach
where the “beach combers” live.
And 1 found they were regular folks
just like the rest of us.
AH of which was quite a surprise, me
being a cbeechaco.
And having a hunch that a ‘‘beach
comber*’ was a kind of animal,
A cross between a seagull and a
blue fox, or something like that,
Which lived on seaweed and fish.
All of which goes to show' that things
are not what they seem.
