 PAT O'COTTER A ''PIPE DREAMS"
 Autumn on the kenai
(From the Alaska Weekly)

(From the Alaska Weekly)
 Its chill up on the Kenai, there's a tang to every breeze, that ripples down the river, or sweeps the naked trees. The ducks and geese go honk- ing, swinging south by day and night, and the ptarmigan are changing, from summer drab to white.
 The frost is on the berries, and up on Juneau Creek, where the hunters gather annually, the lordly moose to seek, there's snow enough for tracking and the Brownie leaves his trail, head ed for the distant sawtooth, to side step the wintry gale.
 Down at Dune Little's Cabin there is always lots to eat, the shelves are lined with berries and the cache is filled with meat. The winters wood is hosrded, under cover snug and dry, theEboat is hauled up on the ways, for Dunes a thrifty guy.
 And Andy Simon's home again, he's prot his party in, you ask him of the luck he had, and watch his modest grin. The party all were satisfied, with hide and horn and head, they garnered back of Cotton Wood, when the Hunting Moon was red.
 Charles Lean has chinked his cabin Home, and laid in malt and hops; He's packed a moose in from the hills, and dug his seasons crops. He's ready now for winter, and enjoy it if he can, for he's the envy of the river, for he's a married man.
 And Louie Bell is busy, as steam boat man should be, flashing madly from the Landing, down the lake to Twenty Three. I'd like to ride with him again, for nothing's half so fine, as to stop off at his Homestead, and ivy his rhubarb wine.
 And Nellie Neal is logging, and working out some schemes to entertain the public and cash in on her dreams. I'll bet she has a winters stock of meat and fish and food, with blankets, sox, and mittens, dog teams and sleds and wood.
 So it's clear along the Kenai, that the whole camp is prepared-and all have got a surplus, that might with a friend be shared And I'd like to hit that River and just mush along the Trail, for I know at every Cabin, there is a welcome without fail.
 I'd like to take Kid Balderston, and
Seward daily gateway., 1924-10-18

take another trip, with guns and gear and pack sack, and a drop to wet the lip, and trail away down river, and just drop in anywhere, and have them tell Friend Harry, just how far to "lead' bear.
 I'd like to hear him chin with Lane, of Christmas Days at Home, for they both lived in Albion, ere they began to roam. They 'unted birds wi Ferrets," yes, that's Limey sport, and they both sang Christmas Carols, at least so they report.
 Yes, it's Autumn on the Kenai, and I'd like to be up there and pack a Thirty-Forty, on the trail of moose or bear, and when the day is over, sit ting by Dune Little's fire, I'd like to have jury, decide who's the biggest liar.

EMPIRE DECLARES DELEGATE PEEVED
 AT PUBLISHERS

Delegate Sutherland arrived in Ju- neau recently, and the Empire report CTS who sought an interview were turn ed down by the Delegate with the state ment that he had nothing to tell the Empire, "Now or at any time." In commenting upon the stand by the De- legate the paper says:
 Delegate Dan Sutherland, who ar rived this morning from campaign ing trip to Westward and interior points, declined positively to make any statement of any nature to repre- sentative of The Empire. He refused to be questioned or to hold any con- versation with the reporter who had sought him out.
 The Delegate was apparently deep ly resentful of criticism of his official policies which have appeared in The Empire on various occasions. Even when assured that he might say any thing he wished in any way he desired and it would not be altered by The Empire, he still maintained his stand not to say anything for publication in this newspaper.
 MT. Sutherland arrived on the s. S.. Yukon early this morning. After efforts to get in touch with him at his hotel had failed, he was approached on Front Street near the Arctic by an Empire reporter. As he was appar- in q hurry to join some friends await ing him further down the street, he was asked if it would be convenient for him to be seen later when an inter view with him might be obtained for publication. "I have nothing to say for The Empire now or at any other time," he said. He indicated he would make a speech here during the cam paign, however, in which he would at tack personally members of The Elm pire's editorial staff.
 Among questions it had been ex- pected to ask Sutherland were queries as to his position on the literacy test issue, on the new Alaska fisheries law, whether or not he had endorsed the candidacy of Senator La Toilette for President, his attitude on the pro- posed Alaska game bill, as to the cor rectness of reports that he had intend ed to renew his fight on Secretary Hoover and the Bureau of Fisheries at the December session of Congress and whether he expected to take sides on the reported Rustgard-Paul split.
 None of these, however, were put to him. He stood 'pat' on his decision not to say anything"
