gentle and kindly disposition and
friendly attributes made the title a

On the 30th day of December, 1916,
Jimmy, with a comrade, was smoth-
cred in a snowsIide on Porphyry
mountain. His partner was taken over
the hill first and throwing aside eau
ton, Jimmy plunged down the hill
in an attempt to reach him. The
snow began to slide under his feet
and Jimmy gave up his own life. But
although the searching parties Who
afterwards found the bodies learned
that Jimmy had no chance to help his
partner, who had been killed instant
ly, yet Jimmy did not give his life in
vain. Long after the bodily husk has
returned to Mother Earth, the memory
of his heroic act will remain in the
minds of many Alaskans.
Such men as Jimmy the Bear"
should not be forgotten. The plain
spruce board which marks his grave
should be replaced with a stone which
should be so marked as to be an in

later years. Many a prospector.

BROOKS CELEBRATION
REMINDS OF OLD TIMES

Word has been brought to Fair
banks by recent arrivals from Brooks
that there was wholesale arrest at
that place lately for breaking the dry
law, says the Citizen. A bunch of
Brooks people got together in a res
taurant over there and started in to
nave one of those ante-bellum, pre-
January first celebrations that used
to help the saloon men pay their
bills, and were all relegated to the city
bastile by the vigilant Brooks deputy
marshal. When the restaurant was
ralded and the pinch made one whole
keg (slightly diminished by the eve
ning's entertainment) and a number of
bottles of an ancient and formerly
popular vintage known as champagne
were discovered boldly and unblush-
ingly prominent in the foreground.
Those said to have been arrested
We're: D. H. Cascaden, George Ken
nedy Bill Kelly, Miss Elliott and one
other. The trial was due to be held
last Thursday, but as yet no word has
been received as to how it came out.
The official confirmation of the ar
rest has not been received yet by the
marshaps office, but is probably COM
ing over by mail.
