SOURDOUGH STAMPEDE
Scraps of conversation to be heard around Seattle
hotel lobbies this month as the oldtimers gather for the
Sourdough Stampede: y ^ ,
“Remember when the ice went out in 99 and you
had just come in from-■” "Well sir, we thawed her
down with fire and the wood was wet and we vveie on
our last pot of beans, but when we took that first pan—
“Say, what ever became of Diamond-Tooth Nell?
Remember that night in the Numcumchuck when she—
—” “It was the best hootch on the creek and the boys
‘ud mush for miles for a shot or two but when they
knocked the head o’ the barrel in they found a plug ‘o’
tobacco nailed in her and-”, so etc., etc., ad in
finitum.
And as for that we’d like to be out there chewing the I
fat with 'em and bet we could swap lies with the best of
'em only folks would say we’d been trained in the busi- j
ness..
They released those new paper money bills from
the treasury at Washington on July 10. Of course
the fact that we haven’t any of them is no sign that
they are not in circulation.
IS IT A FAIR DEAL?

While under the influence of moonshine liquor,
a native named Beaver slew another native. He was
convicted of first degree murder and awaits execu
tion of the death sentence in a Fairbanks jail.
A few months ago a white man stood in the open
and fired three shots at another, two of which took
effect causing death. He was given 15 years in the
federal penitentiary, although the crime was proven to
have been murder.
Beaver’s appeal for executive clemency in Wash
ington met a deaf ear.
Is there a distinction which condemns the primi
tive native to death and calls for clemency for the
white man?
If Myers was worthy of compassion, then what
about Beaver, the victim of the white man’s vice?
And that sainted assistant attorney general of the
United States, airs, amble WiliebTandt, who made such
a hullabaloo about prohibition enforcement just before
last election, was taking money from the Anti-Saloon
League and the W. C. T. U. while receiving her salary
from the government. And she conducted her business
according to the commands of her dictators, not on the
direction of her superior in office
When we hear a fellow loudly proclaim that he
is as good as anybody, we suspect that he has begun
to have his doubts about it.
A sympathetic bootlegger told a despondent friend
that some of his stuff would straighten him out and
it did—permanently.
With due acknowledgment of the good already ac
complished we cannot refrain from again calling atten
tion to the fact that there are may dangerous points to
the Westward still unlighted and many dangerous shoals
still unbouyed.
Firm, tender heads of lettuce, to
matoes ripe and fresh, vegetables
and fruits in prime condition,
young chickens prepared by a
chef who knows go into the
making of our salads. And dres
sings de luxe.

George Nichols, Manager
Col. Otto F. Ohlson. general man- j
ager of the Alaska Railroad, left \
on yesterday’s freight for his An- :
chorage offices with the intention j
of returning tomorrow to meet the ■
incoming congressional party but j
: owing to the change in intinerary, «
jas announced in today’s dispatches, ■
; his return is not known.
The Colonel, prior to his depart- •
jure stated the party would arrive :
Thursday morning, instead of Wed- :
nesday, another change in their £
plan, and that he intended to re- j:
turn tomorrow in time to greet i \
them Thursday morning. The new j l
plan of the party, that of disem- \
barking at Cordova and going over \
jthe highway to Fairbanks, thence i
down the railroad to Seward, has s
consequently upset local, plans. *
The Colonel also said that the z
party was to entrain immediately £
upon their arrival here, go to An- j:
chorage and Fairbanks, and upon i
their return over the railroad, visit1;
with local city ..officials before em- j £
barking for the south.
It is now thought that the cutter ■
Taho, which brought the party j i.
north from Seattle, will come to s
Seward from Cordova and await j £
the party’s arrival.
