Captain Brown wrote, published, told salt yarns. My Ditty Bag-dedicated to his "loved and loyal wife who sailed for Australia with me a week after our marriage, and who has been a good shipmate during these many years"-has an exciting chapter "Fishy" ending with a quoted instruction for "landing" the biggest possible swordfish aboard a dory in the open ocean: "Fasten his tail over the gunwale to the afterthwart; put his sword over your shoulder; put your big finger in his eyeball; grab him with your other hand near his tail; when she rolls to leeward pull hard...

The spike was a golden one and the two laborers made speeches. Mayor John F. Bowman of Salt Lake City made a speech, representing Governor George H. Dern of Utah. Then 2,500 people, on four special trains, rode forth and back through the six-mile Moffat tunnel thus formally opened. The tunnel connects Denver and the "near West" with the vast, enormously rich western part of Colorado, southern...
...Dallas, Tex., rival of Houston, went Candidate Reed, rival of Smith. Frowning like a sulky Ulysses, he began a stumping tour with stumps at Tulsa, Kansas City, Denver (Feb. 23),* Albuquerque (Feb. 24), Phoenix (Feb. 26), Los Angeles (Feb. 27), San Francisco (March i), Reno (March 3), perhaps Salt Lake City, perhaps Omaha...
