One of the most complete surprises
ever given the people of Mason VALLEY

Alaska packers and judges of feats of
endurance. was the successful accomps

city, to the postoifice at Neringtpn. on
his back. never once letting it touch tho
ground a sack of wheat weighing 10
pounds. i'll three hours 5 minutes.
Upon his arrival, he shouted, 1t was
the easiest money he had ever earned
aud before dropping the sack to the
ground spent fully another half hour
walking up. and down the main street
while photographers took pictures.
He was met by probably the largest
crowd ever appearing on the streets OF
Nerington and after visiting the bank
and drawing down his money was es-
corted from one refreshment parlor to
another until the wee small hours of the
following morning.
