^5 OWE SARCASM
A littl^M&arcasm now and then is in
dulged itf by the best of men. For in
stance , we found the following tale in the
Fairbanks Alaska Miner*
"Women have acute powers of observa
tion. They are almost bird-like in that
respect. The little things overlooked
by men are instantly spotted by women and
furnish the fuel for conversation thruout
long and tedious train rides, boat jour
neys and plane flights. For instance,
take the case of the lady trapper who came
to the Fur Rendeirroug from the Little Su
sitna country.
They were cruising along at a fairly
low altitude over a vast sheet of river
flat when she gazed out, and down, and saw
in the snow a long line of animal tracks
emall tracks.
Speaking to the pilot, she saidi "I'll
tell my husband that we're going to trap
here next winter. Just look at thoBe
mink tracks along the bank of the riverj"
"Yes, I see," said the pilot, "and look
at those three moose right ahead of us
making 'em."
Mr. and Mrs. Sidney V. Denison occupied
the Ranger cabin at Lawing for a couple of
days last week while Mr. Denison was sup
ervising work being done in this vicinity.
Mr, Denison and Ray Stafford drove to Mile
58 to make an estimate of repairs needed
on the Canyon Creek bridge which was wash
ed out by the flood last Fall.
