WEDDING STORY WAS A JOB SO
 SAYS DUTCH

Dutch Blankfield is back in Fair. banks again after having spent sev- eral weeks in the states on a buying l trip. Mrs" Blankfield is not with him, and Dutch says there never was any such animal. The story of his wedding was all jobbery, concocted by steamboat men. with the assist ance of a few coast reporters. As it happened. however, the story worked well for Dutch, for he got in a lot of good eats,' and on the way north had an opportunity to enjoy the bridal chamber of the boat.
 According to Dutch's story, when he was going outside, there was a native woman from Kodiak going to Seattle also. Upon arriving there the reporter that covers the waterfront for the Seattle Times appeared on the boat One of the officers was stand ing near by at that time, and pointed to Dutch and the native woman, say ing "Mr. and Mrs. Blankfield just came out from Interior Alaska"
 Dutch says "the poor symp fell for it." and the next morning there was big story in the paper about his arrival. Then the telephone messages congratulating him began to pour in Old friends dropped around to the hotel. and a number of business men from whom he was buying goods of fered to put their automobiles at his disposal. Then when he started north the steamboat men made it good by reserving the bridal chamber for him and telegraphng to Cordov9 the pas senger list, which included "Mr and Mrs. Blankfield." Dutch never did occupy the bridal chamber, however. as he turned it over to a couple of ladies who were coming to Fairbanks
 In Seattle and Portland Dutch found a lot of interest in the north among people who had been in Alaska before or who wanted to take a trip to the interior to look over conditions. If il was not for the fact that there is such Ia shortage of horse feed in Fairbanks there would have been at least 50 or I75 more horses brought in over the 1 trail this spring. Dutch thinks. as many former residents of the interior thought of coming back with stock.
