! nun than Dan. He dared not attempt
I the- intervening water. Charlie com- i
| plains bitterly of the loss he sustained:
\ by the delay
AI Colwell has decided not to fro
! trapping this winter. He recently
j started out with supplies and traps
| enough to catch all the fur between
here and Flat, but the first trapper’s
cabin he came to the roof had caved
in, whereupon A1 decided that trap
ping was much like work and returned
to his awn fireside, where he intends
to remain until spring.
Charlie Konietzkb has lately broken
two new dogs, making him a team of
five in all. We should judge they are
dandies, as, while walking about town
one day last week, the writer was at
tracted by a crowd of 25 or 3(1 men
near Charlie’s cabin. Thinking at
; once of fire, he secured the nearest ex
i tinguisher and -made all haste to the
! spot, but upon- inquiring for the fire
. was informed by the nearest by-[
! stander: “‘Fire nothing! We’re only;
! holding Konietzko’s dogs until he is i
- ready to start.” ‘
i Jack Mutchler has for sale two fine
; dogs, - suitable for a lady who does
! not often go out. The less often she
: goes out the better she will like the
j dogs.
J DAMAGE SUIT THREATENED..
Mr.- Al Johnson, manager of. the
j Northern Commercial Company,, of
i Takotna, owns, among other articles,
j various and sundry, a flock of hens
f which are said to he the most savage
if of the species- Our wireless operator
j. attests that fact himself, as one day
[when called to the - storehouse where
■ the hens are kept, several of the “no
j account cannibals,” as Sparks called
; them, assaulted and bit him in vari
[ ous places and, he says, “nigh caused
j lockjaw."
I The operator states that he intends
i to institute proceedings and has n
good case, as there was no “Beware
, of the Chickens’' sign displayed.
Among other topics of the day
■ arises a controversy between two of
| out most prominent citizens—Mr.
Chris Nelson and Mr. Tom Shallow,
| in which it is alleged that Mr. Shallow
! ruffled the otherwise placid temper of
; Mr. Nelson, causing Mr. Nelson to
arise ami proclaim to Tom and the
universe: “Tom, you have a pretty
' good body on you, but you had better
go back to May Brothers and have'
; them make you a- new head.”
■ | Now we would all 1m* sorry to lose
Tom, if he leaves his head here while
he goes to get another..
Dave Peck says that the expense of
i.such a trip is unnecessary, as he is
quite capable of altering the contour
of Tom’s head, any time, right here
at home.
i Del Thompson expects to leave
[ shortly for the Outside, where he is
promised a job on the large sheep
ranch of a friend.
Arthur L’heureux returned to town
from Little creek a few days since,
having made the trip in about four
(lays. He states that owing to the ex
treme temperature and his team run
ning away he was much longer mak
ing the trip than he intended. While
he stopped to slide down hill his dogs
became tired of waiting for him and
took the trail on their own, and a day
was spent in their recapture.
Mr. L’heureux says that to make
siwashing comfortable in a degree to
all concerned at least one relief
cabin should be placed between Ta
kotna and the Goss roadhouse.
Charles Kimball wishes to advise
i anyone suffering with lumbago to try
i the mind cure. Mr. Kimball recently
; had a severe attack, and found the
said cure to work perfectly as long
as he remained safely in bed and
someone stoked the (ire and served his
: meals at the bedside.
Bob Roberson intends going out
i over the trail and returning by the
i first boat. While Outside Bob will
■ visit Camp Lewis, where the Govern
ment is dismantling a number of
tanks used during the late war. He
hopes to secure several tons of this
| material, believing that it will be use
j fill in keeping his tractor in repair
j next summer.
Ye Editor wishes to announce to his
fellow members of the Takotna Press
Club that for various reasons the club
I'
; will be disbanded. The club’s many
i meetings will always be a pleasant
memory, and we are almost sorry we
conducted that Fairbanks doctor.

“Red” Behan will spend the holi
days at Takotna instead of at Bethel,
as heretofore. “Red” says that any
kind of a time at all costs one $50 at
l.ethel.
Hank Wallick returned to town
from Ganes a few days ago. Hank
has evidently been living high, as he
has a decidedly gouty limp.
Anyone wanting a first class dog,!
apply to Dave Mutehler. He never j
owns any other kind. Dog mushers
say that, while most peculiar, it is a
fact that, once Dave acquires owner
ship of any dog, it immediately be
comes a top notcher.
Frank Speljack is in town for the
holidays. Frank evidently intends to
turn down no invitations, as he par
took of two Xmas eve dinners within
an hour or two of his arrival.
