OLD RAMPARTERS
GOING TO |DITAROD

j. F. Nellany, an old resident OF the
Rampart-Hot Springs region, glided
into town Saturday afternoon, with a
fine dogteam and determined look.
Yes, he was going: and he had inside
infot nation that the Idi,arod is one of
the biggest things of modern times.
While here Mr.. Nellany let it be
known that he aspires to the postmas-
lership in the new camp. He has many
friends who wish him success. He
mushed on at ) o'clock Sunday morn
ing.
c. I. Jordan, another pioneer Ram
parter, arrived Sunday. He was not so
we'll hooked up, and had to stop overto
make additions to his string of mala-
mutes. Mr.. Jordan had the light of
SO burning in his Clamps" and to a
suggestion that the Iditarod pay may
not be very extensive, replied, why,
they've got it for forty miles now!"
he left shortly after midnight Monday
morning, saying he had to get to Dave
Lewis's in three days.
According to all accounts many old
Ramparters have got it good on Flat
creek. Mr.. Jordan said that Lucky
Frank Stevens is in it beyond doubt,
but can't start down yet awhile. 1t
appears that Jimmy Lawrence got onto
the pay in the now-famous Flat creek
last September, but lay low and let all
his friends in on the snap-and Jimmy
had an amazin' number of friends up
Rampant way.
Thinking to find one Ramparter who
had not caught the Iditarod fever, c.
r. Peck was questioned few days
ago. He was unloading turn" OF
hay, and as he thrust ho>k into an
other bale by way of emphasis, he said:
I'm too busy to go now, but I'll get
off on the first water"
1t is respectfully suggested that the
Flat creek metropolis BE christened
New Rampant in honor of the good old
camp up the Yukon.

to pull the can off.
