"How Are the Golf
Links?" Asks
Hammond
The following letter was deceiv
ed by one of our citizens by the last
mail and will be interesting to many
of our subscribers and readers as
they will remember with pleasure
the writer.
Mr. Hammond was editor of the
Alaskan for some time a few years
past and left to accept an important
position on the New Yor daily paper:
May 30. 1921.
Dear Johnston:
Glad your basket for letter was
110 deeper. First I must disabuse
your mind of the impression that I
settled in Buffalo, because it is on
the "bottle line," or at least near
enough to Hue line to get some of the
leakage. Unless you have the fam
ily history of the bottle, attested by
competent witnesses, you'd much
better take poison tlian the stuff
that's commonly available here. And
to get the attested stuff is almost like
putting up a ransom. So that lets
ine out. Occasionally, however, ono
finds a friend who has been able to
stock a cellar. But I'll spare your
thirst from further details.
1 should, ot course .have begun
things by halves so rest assured that
the picnic will lie a big success.
Mrs. P. S. Murray, came over from
Whitehorse to meet lier son, Jienley,
who returned on the Royal from
Mount Angel. Oregon, where he has
been attending school the past year.
Mrs. Murray was accompanied by
her two daughters, Helen an4 Pa
tricia.
» Owen Flynn, younger son of Mr.
and Mrs. P. J. Flynn, was a home
coming passenper on the Princess
Royal from Mount Angel, Oregon.
Owen is studying medicine and will
in due time graduate from college
with his "sheepskin" and a rightly
earned title to M. D.
Don't forget to keep June 21st, for
the annual celebration'of the long
est day. A picnic has been planned
to Lake Dewev. Those who do not
care to take so long and arduous
a climb can find a pleasant stopping
place on the Bench where everything
is in readiness for cooking a meal.
Major and Mrs. Lambert. Captain
and Mrs. Lanaban came up on the I
Peterson Wednesday and were guests j
of Father Gallant while in town. Ma
jor and Mrs. Lambert left for the j
interior points where the Major goes'
on a tour of inspection of military
posts of Alaska. Captain and Mrs.'
Lannhan left on the Princess Royal
for the south.
Their destination is Louisville.
Kentucky.
Mr. and Mrs. Vesper and their
daughter. Miss Lois, arrived on the
Princess and registered at tho«. CJol- ^
den North.
t On Monday. Mrs. F. J. Van de- ]
Wall, Miss Mabel Patti Stone and
Francis Van de Wall left for White
horse and from there they will go by
the river boat Dawson to various
points in the interior. Eagle, the
former home of Mrs. Van de Wall

Captain and Mrs. Lanahan of Fort
William II. Seward entertained
nearly a score of their friends at din
ner at the Golden North hotel on

of a farewell to the friends of the

Edgar Gallant, Major and Mrs. Lam
bert, Captain and Mrs. Harris, Miss
Betty Lou Harris, Captain and Mrs.
Hoss. Miss Maud Hoss, Miss Mildred
Bozorth, Mrs. Henry, Kenneth Hen
ry, Lieutenant and Mrs. Seebree and

II. C. L. when you have so many
seconds to urge you on? Wish I had
some of them myself. I know I
should bo much better off.
So you are thinking of giving up
tennis for pursuit of the uncertain
golf ball! You'd better think it over]
Coif is the quicksands of sports. No
matter how lightly you step even in
its outermost edges it's pretty like
ly to draw you in. Or. us George;
Ado once said, you no sooner hit a
clean one with a cleek than the golf
bacillus jumps up and bite you on
the calf of the leg. After that there
is nothing to it. Teunis and "high,
Jow jack" know you 110 more. You're
a golf bug whose talk is of nothing
but stances, grips, pivoting, follow
ing through, keeping the head down
and the arms out, pulls and slices,
underspin and over-spin. I'd better
explain right here that I'm badly off
my drive this season. When you get
that way you feel about as depress
ed as I fancy a chicken does with
the pip. I11 short, golf is the most
enjoyable game in the world or the
most damnably rotten and provok
ing one, depending on whether you
are on or off. And you never know
from one day to another how you
are going to be. But don't let this
discourage you. It probably won't
anyway.

newspaper man has to take him.

ists you say hare been coming to Al
1'rinter's ink is a hard thing to turn
into gold.
What you told me of conditions in
Alaska pretty well bore out what I
have recently read in governmental
and other reports. "Was interested,
too, in what you told me of Sltag
wayans. I have been reading some
thing of shipping conditions in Al
aska in connection with complaints,
of wood pulp makers that they can't
get rates they desire but I did not
know that some of the shipping lines
had been discontinued. Why don't
you make those wood pulp men a
low rate so we can got newsprint
cheaper? You would. I know, if you
could hear the howls of ihc publish
ers put up against prices for paper.
I'm inclosing a clipping of a golf
story in the Courier. It includes an
item about golf in Skagway:
"There may be an undiscovered
golf course at the north pole, but in
the meantime the Skagway bunch
who propel the snowy pellet along
the shores of the Alaskan stream
are claiming the title to the most
northerly golf orbit. A Buffalo
linksman received a letter from a
friend tl'ere who says the Scottish
pastime has taken a lirm root even
in that frigid soil, and that the lit
tle matter of a few score degrees be
low zero doesn't interfere in . the
slightest with the ardor of the fans."
J told the golf editor of your club
but I'm not responsible for the de
tails he injected, particularly his ref
erence to "a few score degrees be
low zero." He formerly lived in
New Zealand and. besides, had feet
frost bitten when serving on a tor
pedo boat with tiie English navy
somewhere in northern waters dur
ing the war. So I suppose he has
exagerated ideas as lo what the cli
mate must be in Alaska. Since his
paragraph appeared. I have been try
ing to convince him that his ideas i
on your climate are all wrong. I've
pictured to him your strawberries—
I never ate any of them except in |
jam but 1 know that they mnsi be, I
when fresh, that delectable blending
of sunshine and gently tempered
breezes that would soon, if they
could become a national breakfast
dish, remove Bolshevism and all our
other distresses. And I've told him i
of the sweet peas, the dahlias and
the butter and cheese of the Pullen
House. So I hope, for the better
things from him the next time he
writes of Slcagway golf.
Niblickly yours, j
