l'HE ROUGH-NECK
(IdituTod Pioneer)
Tie following paragraph in ans
wer to a query, was published in
the Literary Digest recently:
Kouglineck is a slang term
for a tough, or rowdy, such ad a
members of one of those gangs
that at one time terrorized
oecplc of the slums of New
York or Chicago. Tlw> term
is also used to denote a per
who lacks manners or refine
ment. in contract to one who
uas a good address and the ap
pearance of culture, as, "Oh,
he's a roughneck.'" In the Ev
euicg Post (New York) of Au
gust 17, 1903, we fiud the fol
lowing: "His (Sam Parks)
stated income amounts to un
ou wages from his union of
roughnecks, as the iron-workers
call themselves, as walking
delegate-'' Also iu "Colonel
Crockett in Texas," published in
1S3i> we read: "You may be
cailed a drunken dog by some
of the cleanshfrt and silk-stock
ing sentry; but the real rough
neck will style you a jovial fel
low." •, Jjj
In Alaska the term "roughneck
h^s an appropriate meaning dis
tiuc* irom any of the above defini
rions. Far from being a term of
reuroach, it is iu large measure
coinplimtntaiy. It refers to that
large class of Alaskans, who
mee'ing and combating natural ob
stacles in an untamed wilderness,
overcomes them and glories in the
task. The Alaska roughneck may
have been reared amid rfinemeut
or luxury, or he may have been a
product of the slums; but the
trials and difficulties met with iu
the Northland lend that touch of
nature which makes them all kin.
rc.u4£hjieck oX *• ttPl
be the capitalist of tomorrow, and
then ho is not ashamed of
beiui' designated as a "roughneck."

Ballaine was oue of the promot-!

nurchased by the government as

pany to bring suit against Ballaine
with the proviso that anything col
lected would go to th<j old owners.
Sui». was brought. It was to recov
er oossession of »be townsjte of I
Seward, owned by Ballaine, on the
allegation that Ballaine used corn
panv funds to acquire that townsite.
Xhe suit was woa by Ballaine.
Judgment for costs YW8 rendered in
his favor. Those costs amount to
abcut $20,000.
W. C. Edes, chairman of the Alas
kan engineering commission, is now
the president of the Alaska North
em railroad, all of the stock of
which is owned by the government.
Mr. Ballaine is here presenting his
bill lor costs In the action. He
ooings that the owners of the old
company, being Canadians, can not
be mulcted, but that the new own
ers of the company, namely, the
United States government, can, and
tt>a* civil processes can run against
thef? railroad the same as against
any other successor.
The department of the Interior

20 days he had hair all over his head.
