A cHEEcHAKO's LOG
BEING THE ADVENTURES OF
A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA
WHO AT present is WAN
DERING AT LARGE IN THE
MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND
SUNRISE DISTRICTS H
Seventh Day.

Saturday morning the Chechako
prepared for the last lap of the jour
ney back to Seward. Mr.. Keil was
driving to Mile twenty-nine on the
railroad; so the Chechako waited un-
til Mr.. Keil was ready to leave, for
Mr.. Keil had been kind enough to ask
him to ride along. Attorney L. v. Ray
intended to ride along also, because
Mr.. Ray was vacationing, and there
was no way to pass the day more
pleasant than the auto ride over the
Moose Pass road. The journey was be-
gun Immediately after lunch, and for
six miles Mr.. Keil guided his Dodge
carefully over the wagon trail that
connected Sunrise with Camp Thirty
One and the Moose Pass road, with
the Chechako perched upon a board
placed across the box of the truck.
The country seemed even more beau
tiful the second time through. Game
seemed to be plentiful. Mr.. Keil had
nearly run over large bull moose on
his way into camp a few nights be-
fore, and several times Mr.. Keil halt
ed the car to give Attorney Ray an
opportunity to clip the head neatly off
a grouse.
The bumpy wagon trail did not last
forever Camp Thirty-One was reach
ed early in the afternoon. There they
found W. O. e. Criger engaged in
bandaging the finger Of one of the
men which had been badly cut while
he was engaged in trimming stakes.
1t is regrettable that any construction
work of any considerable magnitude
must be married by its accidents. But
Mr. Criger bandaged the finger neat
ly, and then prepared to accompany
the party to the railroad.
At Camp Thirty-One the party trans
ferred to Mr. Rays Buick touring car,
and from there to the railroad hum
med along the smooth and even road
Seward daily gateway. [volume] (Seward, Alaska) 1923-1933, 1926-09-27

in comfort. Every few hundred yards
they met some Of the construction
men or people living along the road.
Mr. Keil Attorney Ray and Mr.. Criger
greeted practically everyone by name.
even the little children playing in the
yards beside the road. Again the Che
chako was impressed. He remembered
that in Hope the people had asked
for news of many of the people re-
siding in Seward, nearly eighty miles
away, and that these folks had all
possessed an intimate knowledge Of
the activities of people living MANY
miles distant. He also thought of the
time he had spent in the States. and
of one Summer in particular, when
he had lived for ten weeks on the sec
ond floor of a three story apartment
building without even knowing the
names of the families living on the
first and the third floors, 1t was
strange contrast; in the one case
man had few friends or acquaintance
outside Of his immediate dwelling, in
the other people living a hundred
miles distant were his friends and
immediate neighbors.
The car which had been running
along beautifully, neared Moose Pass
station, and the Chechako craned his
neck to glimpse his camp site of
few night ago. He found the place
where the camp site used to be, but
what change there was! Snow River
had risen several feet, caused as he
later discovered, by the breaking Of
a glacial lake, and the fine, level
beach where he had rested his weary
frame on Monday night was now COW
cred by nearly three feet of water.
The Chechako thanked his lucky stars
that the glacial lake had waited the
few days longer before breaking, for
he had had no desire to awake in the
middle of the night with water pour
ing into his ears.
Moose Pass station was reached in
plenty of time to catch the train
bound for Seward, but the difficult
ties of Alaskan transportation were
not yet over, At Mile Fourteen, on
the railroad, the Snow River on the
same rampage that had flooded the
campsite, had undermined two of the
bents of the bridge, and the passeng-
ers and baggage had to transfer to an
emergency train waiting on the other
side of the river But this did not take
long, for the railroad had organized
the work of transfer remarkably we'll,
and after delay of scarcely more
than an hour, the passengers from
the interior were again on their way.
At eight-thirty the train arrived at
Seward, and the journey was ended.
Thus the trip of the Chechako thru
the Moose Pass region ended. He
had seen wonderful country, had
met some Of the kindest and most
hospitable people in the world, and
had acquired a fund of information
in these seven short days that could
not be gained in any of the nations
great universities in ten times that
period. In short, he had begun to
understand the people and the coun-
try as they really are, not as they are
veneered for the tourist doing the
country" in record time. And, last Of
all, he could understand why there
were so many people in Alaska, who
who had remained in the country
had come 'just to look around" and |
remain ever afterwards.

my littlest, don't think me a
lout, but I've got to see someone
this evening. I've got to start
hauling at poor old Comstock's
legs, as it were: You don't hate
me for it? Don't pout-yes, do,
you're angelic when you pout."
"Unkind! / shall CAD by my
self, Petie-boy. Come along, it's

Peter admired it rapturously. It
was blue, or was it lavender, or
even faintest green, and was that a
silver petticoat peeping through?
Charles trouble faded little.
1t had returned all right by the
time Peter rang up Mr.. Soames at
his private address. 1t obtruded
itself between him and Mr..
Soames' little platitudes about his
return.
GAS a matter of fact, Mr..
Soames, | rang up to ask if you

you up this afternoon, only was
told you were at Brighton and not

Soames. But I've not been to

nearly six, and came straight
home"
"Ohw exclaimed Peter. "Ah,
Well, it's of no Importance, but
I'm doubly sorry for the mistake.

about half an hour, can't I? Pm
at the Beaudon, Southampton
Row Right! Thanks very
much. III start this minute"
Odd that Stacey should have
made that mistake! Not odd at
all-Soames might have told her
he was going out of town and
changed his mind. Anyway, a
trihe. The thing was to get at
Soames.
Half an hour later Peter was
renewing his apologies in Soames'
study.
Before we get down to brass
tacks, Mr.. Soames, he began,
"can you tell me whether the
option on Monks Yielding has
been taken up"
A cautious smile spread over
the solicitors face.

clearly how greatly he was
worrying when he burst into
his modest suite on the third floor
of the Beaudon. The sitting-room
was empty but as his football
sounded, the door was flung open
and a pretty, bird-like woman fut-
tered in to greet him.
"Ah, there's Petie-boy! And
Petie-boy's upset. He looks so un-
happy and not a bit pleased that
we're together again" It was
pretty little bird-like voice that
chirped at him, and bright blue
eyes that shone up at him out Of
a little crystal-dainty face.

ELkS TO Hold
high JLNKS"
ON TWO NIGHTS,

Contrary to the opinion held by
some, the High Jinks' program to
be conducted tomorrow and, &atur-
day nights by Ell Centro Lodge Of
Elks, is not confined to members of
that order, the committee in charge
stated today. The general public
is cordially invited to attend the
programs.
Money derived from the High
Jinks' will be used for the Christ
mas tree which is provided each
year for children of FL Ccntro. This
has become an annual institution in
this city, and is anticipated not only
by members of the order and the
children, but by the residents of Ell
Centro.
For more than two hours ,ast year
solid line of children passed
through the Elks lodge, each child
receiving a present. 1t was ques
ton hard to decide as to who rcceiv-
ed the most enjoyment from the
tree, the Youngsters or the Elks.
The High Jinks' will start at
1880 each night, and will include a
varied assortment of entertainment.
Dancing will begin at 9 o CLOCK. One
ticket will admit a lady and gentle
man to both programs and is also
good for the program each night.
The committee in charge of the
" High Jinks' is bending every eff
fort to make the affair enjoyable
and successful financially, as no
other means will be used this year
to raise money for the Christmas
fund.

FOR CALEXICO

The high school Spartans will be
in good shape for the championship
game with CalexIco high in the lat-
ter city Saturday afternoon, accord
ing to Coach Armstrong, who has
been keeping close watch on the
squad during the long layoff impos-
cd by last week s storm.
~ do not believe Caiexiao caH
stop line smashes headed by Bill
Eeters," the coach said, land we
plan to center our attack in that
quarter. Byrd viii be operating un-
der handicap in the game, because
we will be playing on a heavy field.
He is at lis best on a fast dry field,
though it would not surprise me u
see him get off one Of his famous
long runs.
Phvsicallv tho squad is in good
condition and mentally they are
rcTred mp with the idea Of beating
the border team. We do not con
slider that we have anything like
a ciach, but we are not afraid OF
Calexico. -
Rooters from the city are needed
to add strength to Central 5 game
Saturday, the coach said. The tea \
has had fine season, losing on =
c',e game, the contest played on 4
wet field in IngIcwood, and even in
this fracas, Central distinguished it
self, particularly as it was the frs
time any of the BOYS handled Il
wet ball.
"Thc FL Centre residents have az
corded the team fine support,
Coach Armstrong said, "and we are
making Il final appeal for a 60 d
attendance at Saturdays s game. Cal

we hope to have as large "a dclcga-

The game will be called at 2:30
