TIDES TOMORROW
THERE'S A SAD
DAY AHEAD FOR
JUNEAU MALES

Unconfirmed rumors today fore
told a sorry plight for thirsty males
henceforth in the neighborhood of
the Baranof Bar.
If the grapevine release proves
correct, said parched-gulleted males
will have no more chance of elbow
ing their way up to said bar than
of catching straw hat in Taku
wind. The bar is due to be abso-
lutely cluttered with gasping fe-
males.
The reason said to lie behind such
forthcoming condition is Pat Morton,
who arrived in Juneau yesterday
aboard the Aleutian and today was
to commence holding sway behind
the mahogany of the afore- mention
ed Baranof Bar and C o cktail
Lounge
Mr.. Morton is citizen OF con-
siderable height and remarkably APP
pealing proportions surmounted by
waving blonde locks, all forming a
combination that never fails to at
tain much more than passing no
tice from all and sundry females
who chance to gaze.
Mr. Morton brings north with
him the reputation of being the
most popular bartender of San
Francisco and even if it should
chance that he is not followed north
by bevy of beauteous ladies desc
lated by his departure, it is reck-
oned sure thing bet that he will
right soon be surrounded by a full
crop of Juneau's fairest. He has
never failed yet-so the rumors
have it.
