Another extravagant story Is a zoo

Alaska is as free of snakes as was
Ireland after the advent of st. Pat
rick, They say that the only snake
that ever came into the territory was
one brought from the outside in a bale
Of timothy hay. This occurred about
two years ago. AS the story goes. the
snake arrived on the edge of the win
ter and crawled out of the bale when
the thermometer was about 40 degrees
below zero. 1t Immediately froze solid,
and as,it laid there was found by an
Indian chief. 1t was long snake, and
the head had bent over so that 1t looked
like a cane. The chief used it as a
cane all that winter. and he is said to
be using 1t still. He buries it in the

is almost unknown. I lived in Fair
banks eight years before l locked my
door. The people will not stand for
robberies. We have our strikes, but
there is no bloodshed and no destruc-
tion of property.
The people are charitable They
often spend $500 or more to send a
sick man away to Seattle, and they
always give a little money to keep
the man until he gets on his feet. AS
an instance of the generosity of Fair

of the strange conditions teat obtain

has no accommoda tions for vagrants
and no laws for the needy poor. 1t has
one pioneer home. but that is at Sitka
on Baranof Island about 1000 miles
from where Monte lives.
Monte Terrill is a character. His
whole life has been a tight against mis-
fortune and now. although blind and

he has long passed three score and ten.
