ANOTHER IDOL
HAS FALLEN
Former Worshipers at Musher's
Shrine Now Deride Hero
of Trail
Tin' following tetter writl«*n
from Chitina to Mr. Fred Cam
eron by Horace Loach, tells of
lln> trials and tribulations met
wilh by Valdey.' heretofore cham
pion mushur. The letter tells
the story better than we can:
You remember, bow I, with sev
eral other admirers of "men who
can do things," have sat or stood
around in your barber shop at
Valdeg and listened to the stories
told by "(Joldie," your partner,
of the great mushes he has
made when on the trail to and
from 11 it; interior, both in mid
winter, when it was bitter cold,
or in summer, when it was swel
tering hot; in fact, it was most
always too hot or too cold for the
resL of tin* iriushrrs to venture
out; but not for Goldic, as he told
it. 1I»? was never a trailer but
was always in the lead, always
had the largest pack, always got.
to the ramping ground first and
nau tiif coffee lx>i 1 in^c and the
beau pot hoi for the rest of the
parly when they arrived, almost
loo tired I«» eat. You remember,
Fred, how we almost worshiped
him as a hero and were templed
at limes l«» risk our few shekels
thai lif could mush further in a
| given lime than any man in Alas
ka. md barring Hob Meln
| tosh or .lap \Yada. Hut, alas,
| Fred, our mushing idol is shat
tered; lie was Dr. Cook-ing us.
Since coming to ('liilina I have;
got inside information from re
liable .sources, namely: I>iek
(iilinaux and ('.barley Crary that
(ioldie never was a muslicr; in
facl, lie never was in the lead
only as llie parly left or return
ed to Valdez, and I lien he always
bribed tlieru to let him go ahead.
No doubt when (.oldie gels
back to Valdez this fall he will
tell you how he broke trail this
spring for Pete ('.ashman and
j Andy Suprenanl, but I don't in
I tend to have you fooled again,
(Fred, by I his wonderful barber
1 shop muslicr. These are the
I facts: (ioldie, Pete and Andy
I started from Valdez over Tlionip
I son pass, intending to go down
i the Tasnuna river, but shortly af
ter getting over the summit,
(•oldie went lame. Pele said he
acted like a horse that had
thrown a shoe. Andy and Pele
held a post mortem, or some
thing of that sort, over (ioldie
and decided it would be belter to
j leave |lie Tasnuna trail and carry
(•oldie down the Tonsina river lo
Jake's place, about eight miles
j from where (ioldie quit on I hem;
so they rigged up a sort of a "go
devil" affair and hauled the
"mushing" (?) lonsorialisl in
lo Jake Nefsled's roadhouse and
the next day hired Jake lo bring
liiiu lo Chilina in a wagon, where
Marshal Joe Drown took him to
his hospital and. examined his
fool ami leg and could find noth
ing whatever the matter with him.
«<iiariey i;rary nnu Dick (Silin
aux, who are in hero nearly ev
ery summer, say this trip of
(•oldie's is just a repetition of
what he does nearly every slim
mer. The parly lost three days
here in Chit inn waiting for Gold
ie to rest up. .Taek Miller, Ernie
Wheat and Charley Crary came in
one evening on the train on their
way up (he line, and they per
suaded Pete, Andy nnd floldie. to
go up on the (rain with them the
next morning; so they all rnct
at the depot about 7:30, as the
(rain was going to leave at 8.
Whon the engine came up the
track from (he roundhouse I not
iced Pe(e and Andy look nl eneh
other and sort of tremble, and
when the engine whistled I hey
both started on tin* run up the
track: we tried to stop them but
couldn't. I looked (o gee where
floldie whs. Kryie Wheat nnd
Charley Crary both hud hold of
him, nnd nfler a grent deal of
coaxing and assurance that noth
ing could hurl fcim go) him on
the cnr. Dick (Silinaux got in
the cab with the engineer nnd
said he would keep on the look
out for Pete nnd Andy and if the
train could overtake (hem he
would try and get them to gi-t
on the train. I never heard
whether the train overtook them
or not. Fred, it's a sad thing to
see men live in (he smnll (owns
so long that a real train of cars
stampedes thorn.
Now, Fred, I have written this
information to you so when
Goldie gels hack to Vnldez and
starts to tell the usual story of
how he led the parly over this
or that glacier or swamp, always
in the lead, etc., you can just
show him this, and if you need
any further proof of the truth
of what 1 have told you, just ask
any one of the following named
used-to-he Valdezites: Johnny
Nelson, Joe Brown, Jack Moroy,
Dick (iilinaux, Charley Grary,
Hen Richardson or John Deland
er.
Fred, I know you will he sore
ly hurl, as I was, to tind out. we
have wasted so much admiration
on a "fireside" niusher instead of
the real article, hut you must re
member, "everything what looks
like gold aint.
