Now that Alaska has shed the days of the dance hall and settled down to staid civiliz- ation and marbled railways and elevators and everythin' :; it is no longer fashionable to give people nicknames, says the Dawson News, commenting on the strange and curious var iety of names bestowed on some early day residents of the north. Among the numerous nicknames recalled by the Dawson journal are the follow ing, many of which will be re- called by the old timers:
 There was Posthole Pete, who got his name through an inci- dent in Montana. He was set at work digging post holes when Montana was still a big range country, and the owner told Pete to keep busy and go straight ahead until he return ed. The owner forgot all about Pete until he happened by on the range and observed a man still digging postholes straight across the state.
 There was Whiskey Dick, the Gamblers Ghost, the Rampant Spider, King Oscar, The Big Chief, Hootalinka Dan, the Sweet Pea Girl, Cigarette Liz, and Coal Oil Johnnie.
 There was the Seventy Mile Kid, a big ski jumper from Chi cago, who got his name from the Seventy Mile river. He is now in charge of the national park at Mount Mckinley and is the right man for the job, as he knows that mountain better than anyone living. It was "Seventy-Mile" who piloted the late Archdeacon Stuck to the top.
 There was the Malamute Kid, and he was a dog musher and 9 good one, the Step and a Half Kid, he had a limp; the Talan- ika Kid, named after the river of that name; the In and Out Kid, the Yellow Kid, the Two Bit Kid, the Ping Pong Kid, the Bald Faced Kid, the Single o Kid and the Double o Kid, so

Rev. s. Hall Young Tells Origin Of Name Given

At a recent dinner given at the Officers Club, Dr. s. Hall Young, veteran northern min ister, who knows Alaska as few men do, told how certain popular beverage received all Alaska name that is now al- most universally known, at least wherever English is spoken.
 "Hootch," said Dr. Young, is a native word for brown bear, and "noo" means fort. Certain natives had stockade on all island which they called "Hutz-noo," and these natives were known as the "Hoochin- oos" from that. They learned to make rum from molasses

About 1908 another paper was launched in Skag- way under the name of The Interloper.

few accommodating railroads was all wrong. It was agreed that the Pre- sident should travel but that he should not place himself under obligations to the railroads. So Congress. doffing it's cost of niggardliness, not only raised the presidential salary to $75- 900 a year as MT. Taft came into of fee, but granted a yearly appropria- tion of $25 900 additional for travel ing expenses. But even $25,000 year does not provide much transportation at the prevailing price.
 The President is coming across the continent in a special train. A spe- cial train costs him $25 for every mile travelled. Every Pullman car in the special train costs $60 day, with an additional surcharge which goes to the railroad. It can be seen that at this rate the presidential appropria- tion will be used for two cars of the special train, accommodating the im- mediate party of the President, in- cluding his secretary, George Chris tian and Dr. Sawyer, and such per- sonal guests as he desires to take along, as we'll as a staff of clerks and stenographers to handle executive business while the chief magistrate is en tour.
 Newspaper photographers, special writers, and even the Secret Service men will have to bear their share of the general expense of the train. On some of Taft's trips, when railroad

PRESIDENT PAYS OWN EXPENSES

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The trip of President Harding across the con tinent and into Alaska has given rise to all kinds of inquiry upon the part of a curious public:
 Does he use a pass?
 Does he pay for the trip out of his own pocket?
 Does he pay for the newspaper men and the photographers who go along?
 These are the most common ques- tions that come to Washington and for the sake of brevity the answer is mo" to all of them.
 The President of the United States is not, in railroad parlance, " dead head" He must pay his fare just as an ordinary citizen must except that the President. for the sake of execu- tive seclusion, always uses a private car, and for this car he has to pay 25 full fares instead of one. Ary Ordi- nary person can have a private car hauled at the same rate.
 There was a time, up to and includ- ing the Roosevelt administration, when the President was carried free by the roads, not only the President but all of his en tourage, including as many guests as he cared 10 invite. The Pennsylvania railroad in the old days financed many a presidential trip en- tirely across the continent and back defraying not only the expenses of transportation but all Pullman charges and both solid and liqiuid refresh ments, with after dinner smokes also thrown in.
 It was estimated that some of the big presidential Swings around the country cost as high as $90,000 or $1O0,000. There was no other way the President could travel unless he chose to spend the greater part of his sal ary, which was but $50,000 a year at that time.
 Congress at last came to the con- clusion that the practice of placing the burden of presidential trips on a
Seward daily gateway., 1923-06-22

fares were much cheaper than they are today, each newspaper man was assessed as high as $500 for travel ing expenses alone.
 Contrary to the general impression the President of the United States has no private car of his own. When he goes on the road he is compelled to rent one from the Pullman Company. There has been talk from time to time of providing the President with car, but Congress has never taken the step. The s25,0O0 travel appropriation so far has been sufficient, even with so keen traveller as MT. Taft.
 The Alaskan portion of the journey and the return trip through the Pana- ma Canal of course, will be made on a naval vessel but here again the
