TIMELY ADVICE
The waterfront scribe, who has
been carrying on a private investi
gation, as to the “Ooligan” situa
tion in the Seward vicinity, makes
the report that since the istaila
tion of the culverts on the Radio
road in place of the wooden
bridges, that not many of the wily
“Ooiigans” venture up beyond the
cluverts; that they prefer not to
go thru the “iron tunnels” and
stay on the other side. So if you
plan to do any “Ooligan” fishing
you probably will have better luck
on the seaside of the culverts.
