TEXAS BOOMING
But VERY WARM, |;

SAYS OLDT|MER

In a letter addressed to Frank
Rourke, of this city, Ben Estby,
well-known former Interiorite, says
that Texas is enjoying a great
boom, with oil being found all
through the state. But the Texas
climate is something else again.
The writer says he thought he
would take a change, so moved to
Iowa Park, a small town on the
Fl. W. & D. C. railway, west of
Wichita Falls and south of Burk-
burnett. The move, Estby says,
was "out of the frying-pan into
the fre-hot enough to fry eggs

for himself. he says he was fried
to a crisp at the time of writing.
and considerably lighter in weight
than when he left Alaska, tipping
the scales at only 1877. Before he
went South he weighed 210.
There are a lot of the boys
from Alaska down here" the letter
continues, and among those men
toned are Frank Manley, John l..
McGinn, Henry Riley, Jack Des-
mond, Pete Nichols, Jack Leach,
Billy Leak, and George ". Penning-
ton the last named having just
reached that part of the state when
the letter was written.
The wages for drillers. he says,
range from SO to SIG a day, for

he puts it, is "rotten and high"

ICONS, each containing 5000 yards
of concrete, were floated into posi-
ton and sunk.
Concrete and granite were used
in the construction of the floor and
walls of the dock. 1t is estimated
the structure contains 100000 cubic
yards of concrete The drydock is
l1,O29 feet long, on the inside, 100
feet wide on the floor, with reced-
ing walls, and has 35-foot sills.
When a warship is hoated into the
dock, four 54-inch and two 15-inch
electrically driven pumps will empty
the basin in two hours, permitting
of unusually fast work in the hand
ling of sea fighters.
Surrounding the dock are rail-
road tracks for travelling cranes,
and the large and well-equipped
machine shops and foundries of the
naval base are close at hand.
One of the legends of the old
iHawaiians had If that Pearl Harbor
was the home of the shark god, and
many grizzled heads were shaken
in grim foreboding when dredgers
first started to excavate in the
coral to provide place for the
drydock. When hydrostatic pressure
wrecked the partially completed
dock in 1918 the fears of the old
Hawaiians were confirmed; they
knew nothing about hydrostatic
pressure and reconcile engineering
problems. but they were sure the
wrath of the shark god had brought
confusion and ruin to the handi-
work of man.
When the drydock was nearing
completion, number of Hawaiians,
one of them a foreman on the job,
sacrificed pig and a white chicken
to the shark god. Some iconoclast
started the rumor that the pig and
chicken made the ultimate sacrifice
of their kind at a luau (native
feast) instead of going to the bot

BALL TARRY|NG
At COAST TOWN
ENROUIE SOUTH

There is nothing much at present
in the Portland Canal district to
warrant a rush there, according to
Ira B. Ball, of Nenana, who is now
in Juneau sizing up the coast coun-
try In letter to his partner,
Billy Thomas, the pleasure-seeking
tonsorialist says the new town of
Hyder is not much talked of at
Juneau yet. The town lots, he
says, are obtainable only on a
rental basis, the leases covering a
period of one year.
When Ball reached Skagway, on
his way to the States on a vacation
trip, he took launch to Juneau,
and liked the capital city so well
he decided to remain there a month.
There is a shortage of BARRIERS
there and the money-making oppor-
tunities in that line so alluring that
Ball could not resist the tempta-
ton to get back into the harness
for time.
When he landed in Juneau, he

found the place well equipped, with
four chairs, but only one barber,
and the place was full of people at
the time, waiting for shaves and
haircuts. So, after he had been
shaved, he consented to hold down
the chair while the proprietor went
out to eat. And he has been there
ever since. The first three days,
he says, his earnings aggregated
s22.
Ball writes that he has met many
people in Juneau whom he knew

Peter johnson and Slim Hamill were
met on the street, and many others
were seen, whose names were not
recalled at the time of writing.
Things are good at Juneau, Ball
says, and he may stop there again
on his way back to the Interior,
later in the year.
Ball was in Juneau when the
Mears party passed through, and
he also saw Judge Wickersham,
when he arrived from the East to
begin taking testimony in connec-
ton with his contest. 80
