The Chitina leader., 1910-12-31


azines would necessitate several as
sistants before many weeks.
| At the Chitina Grill he wished sue
cess to John Schafer, and stopping
at the Orr Stage company's office,
hoped the trail would continue fine
until late spring, and that Manager
Jesse Martin, with Assistants Starr
and Mulroy. would be kept busy
making out tickets for interior and
outside travellers.
Before going up the other side of
the business street, he spied the Chit
| ina laundry and wished John Rauson
| and Fay Scott would be kept so busy
they couldn't get out of the wash
tub during the New Year Passing
the Savoy restaurant, he wished the
proprietors the best of prosperity,
and hoped the Tibbs brothers would
soon complete their building for bus
| mess. Drifting into the Home Bar
he drank to the health and future
prosperity of Geo. Blouen and Ru-
dolph Pohlner and hoped the Chit
ina hotel would soon have to be en-
larged Hoping that the Owl cafe
would soon be catering to many mood
| lie and chop suey parties, he walked
| into the resort run by AL. Church
and Tommy Brady. He hoped they'd
soon have to put in another pool and
billiard table and that their line of
: tobaccos would soon have to be doub-
| led.
| With the jolly Dutch boys of the
Chitina bakery, Messrs. Gessner &
Staugneth. he hoped they'd make ten
times the amount of dough" during
1911 as they have had to do in the
old year, and that their sale of coffee
cake and pastry would be also great
| ly increased.
Stepping into the sheet metal
works of Fred Schaupp who was
busy with stovepipes and f1ues, he
hoped his plant would treble in ca
pacity by the summer OF 1911, and
that he would have to hire plumbers
and steamfitters to carry on his WORK
in Chitina.
Wishing Cook and West and the
Nelson brothers success for the New
Year, Father Time went up the new
road as far as Harry Chamberlain S
feed stables and hoped Harry would
have his barn full of horses to feed
all spring, and that the price of hay
and grain would drop sufficiently for
him to make a good margin on his
work. On returning to town he
couldn't overlook Tom Hollands res
! idence and that of Deputy Marshal
Brown. Hoping that Mr.. Holland
and the deputy secure a raise from
Uncle Sam for feeding prisoners in
| 1911 and that there will be no OBJ
streperous cases to handle, he made
a visit to the commissioners office,
| where he found Judge Ferguson at
his desk. He wished His Honor vol
umes of recording, notary public
work and legal fees sufficient to gar
ner enough of this worlds goods in
1911 to enable the judge to purchase
that longed for coacoanut plantation
on the island of his beloved Hayti.
CHANGING at his hour glass, Father
Time realized that he now had but
short time to wish the rest of the
Leader patrons good luck for the
New Year, so dropping into the Lead
er office, which is now located in the
postoffice store, he told Editor Ben
nett he could not overlook the bus
mess people across the river or at
Cordova, so spreading his wings he
alighted at the Chitina roadhouse
and hoped that C. NJ F. Cole would
| be kept busy with freighting and
taking care of guests in 1911, and
that Mrs. King, of the Red Cross
Drug Co., directly opposite the road
house, would find a ready sale for
her drugs and sundries during the
New Year. At the Newhouse Trad
ing company he found the proprie-
tors busy selling supplies to some
