FIRST WEDDING IN ALASKA
Knot Tied in Rhyme by Ready R,,
Rough Parson.

From the Seattle Post-Tntellioeroar
Wild and romantic as anv highland 10
gend or border story is the account of the
first contract marriage in the interior of
Alaska, as narrated by Windy Jim Dod-
son, who was present and witnessed the
unique ceremony.
1t was on the banks of the Dali river
small stream which flows into the yuko,
near Fort Hamlin. young man Giuis
by name, accompanied by Agile Dalton a
charming maiden with whom he was IN
love- had set out from the mouth of Dan
river TO go across the mountainous divide
into the Koyukuk valley. As they started
up the Dali they met Dodson, and in the
the course of conversation il developed
that the young people We're anxious 10 GET
married, but in that wilderness there was
small chance of finding either priest or
magistrate to perform the ceremony.
Il know man who can tie the knot"
said Dodson, "and he lives only a few
miles from here. His name is Joe Durant.
but everybody knows him by the nickname
of French Joe"
TO yearning hearts and youthful vigor a
few miles in that vast solitude was as
nothing, and they were soon at Durants
place. Dodson went with them as guide and
witness. The spot was one just fit for such
romantic nuptiafs. il was on wild, noun
famous slope. by the side of a lake. and
under the shelter of friendly tree whose
evergreen branches defied the chill No
vember winds.
Duranl gladly agreed 10 perform the
pleasant task, but as he had no law form
or church rituals at hand he devised a
form of his own, and put il into rule
rhyme, having he bride and groom each
repeat four lines after him.
The bride repeated the following:
Ten miles from the Yukon on the banks
of this lake
For a partner TO Koyukuk Gillts take,
We have no preacher. we have no ring;
That makes no difference; It's the same
old thing"
The grooms part was as follows:
Il swear by my sled pole under this tree,
A husband to Aggie | always will be,
III love and protect her, this maiden SC
fran.
From the sour-dough toughs on the Koy-
ukuk trail"
Durant then tied the knot as follows:

Florence and Darlington have ssnt joint
delegation to Portsmouth to consult with the
officials of the Seaboard Air Line in reference
to the construction of a branch road to con-
uection Darlington and Florence with the
main line of the Seeboard system. Darling
ton and Florence are alive to the importance
of securing Seahoard consection and they
ere working Systematically and intellieently
to induce the Seaboard officials to pledge
themselves to build the desired branch road. :.
The Seaboard will need feeders to carry busi-
ness to the msin line which ia beisg butt
through an undeve!oped and generally poor
country, and it is but question Of
time when these branch roads will be built.

would stand an equal or perhaps better
chance Of securing a Seaboard connection
than Darlington or Florence, but if Sumter
sits down aud waits for the Seaboard to come
of it's own volition while cher places are
working for it and demonstrating in prac-
teal and convincing manner that they want
the Seaboard to come and will offer substan.
tial inducements, those en,erprising and live
places will secure the cove,ed connection
while Sumter will continue to sit down and
wait
