Passage ofthe coastof British

Columbia an dAlaska's "pan-handle- is one ofthe sights of theworld. Sir W. M.Conway, the cel,ebrated traveller,writing o f thethree great In-side Passages,that of this longlittoral, that o fthe far taper-endof the dual con,tinent, and thatof the Norweg-ian coast, wasinclined to givethe palm to thisone—the spec-tacular thousand miles from Vancouver toSkagway—and relegate the Norwegianone to third place. The main difference, hecommented, between the inside passageat the taper-end of South America andthis northern one is the almost entireabsence of man in the former, and thefrequent evidence of his presence hereamong similar majestic scenes.

But few are those who can institutethe comparison between these two frompersonal observation, because it is only aprivately chartered steamer that everprys into the Chilean fiords, all others,apart from the passage through theStrait of Magellan, keeping out in theocean. U p here it is otherwise. Fromthe decks of one of the Princess steamers,all who care for such sights can see them.The voyage to Skagway and back is anexperience and leaves memories for life.

I f , after dinner i n the evening,pacing the deck to take it all in, lose aslittle as you may of the experience, youfeel you can't last t i l l breakfast unfed,there's a late supper set in the diningroom.

To see that quiet loneliness and aus-tere beauty, tree-clad uninhabited islandsslipping past and, through gaps to east,the glaciers of the coast range hangingalong the sky, to the accompaniment ofthe music of the ship's orchestra, gives adream-like quality to the long twiningvoyage. A n d there's a sense, an effect,as of far and foreign travel here. I t is astrange land. T h e barbaric old totem-poles of the coast Indians, when we goashore, play their part, no doubt, increating that effect.

To begin with, churning up the coast,one is impressed by the vast serenity ofit all, but as the voyage continues some-thing else enters into one. A t night younotice the Pole Star drawing nearer;and you notice how long the summerday lasts. I t lingers in the sky above us,it is still clinging to the water-highwayahead of us, when our watches tell us itis night. We begin, in fact, to feel thatspell of the north o f which we haveheard. N o t only the desire for quickfortune in gold out of the land makesthat spell. There is an invitation, a lure,in the silent and austere balsam-scentedimmensity. Tourists we may be, walkingthe decks of a Princess steamer on atourists' trip, but we share the curiosity,surging along this coast, not only of thegold-seekers who came this way onlyyesterday, so to speak, but of CaptainVancouver and all the other entrancedearly voyagers who reconnoitred alonghere wondering what next they mightsee.

"There's never a law of God or manRuns north of Fifty-three..

Until a little over thirty years agoAlaska was almost unknown, a whitespace on the map over which wasscrawled "Come-and-find-me.- That is,to most of the world; for the Northlandhad even then its pioneers, its prospec.tors, who had fished its teeming coasts,trapped its furs, started small towns, andpanned the first coarse colorings of goldalong its creeks. B u t outside of thesesturdy old-timers, Alaska, with its side-partner, the Yukon, was hardly morethan a geographical curiosity—a huge,unpopulated, unexplored, inhospitableblock of land over three-quarters of amillion square miles in size, forming thenorthern tip of the American continent.It had, as far as one could estimate then,no very remarkable resources or tradingpossibilities, and was generally lookedupon as a land o f perpetual winter,frozen permanently under solid snowand ice. T h e discovery of gold in theKlondike in 1896, in such vast quantitiesas to astound humanity, let loose so

much sensation that overnight the newbonanza became almost the most famousplace on earth. That feverish stampedeto the north was like nothing that hadever happened before, or that has everhappened since.

The Trail of '98Back in '98 someone took a photo-

graph of an everyday scene in the WhitePass. I t shows, struggling over thesteep, dangerous snow-clad wastes, athin black streak nearly two miles long—a streak composed entirely of men,mushing -inside- to the Klondike, withnearly 600 miles of travel ahead of them.And that was an everyday scene—happening all the time.

They had their hardships, those earlydays, before the railway was built be-yond Skagway, to which we are sailing,when cheechako and sourdough alike hadto travel that arduous path over theChilkoot Pass or, later, the White Pass.Greed pulled them forward; the crowdbehind pressed them onwards; i f theycould not endure the strain they fell out

and perished. There was no turningback. I t was truly no place for weaklings,for one was beset not only by a hostileNature, but also by the wickedness anddepravity of mankind. The opportuni-ties drew to the Northland some of themost lawless characters o f the earth,and had it not been for the swift justicemeted out by the Royal NorthwestMounted Police, it might have been truethat

The Spell of the NorthThe Northland put a spell on those

who made its acquaintance then. I t canput a spell on us to-day, long before wereach the voyage's end, throbbing ourway through the Inside Passage. I t is aland of mystery and of contrast. Neverwas so mistaken an idea as that i t isalways winter in the North. I f it were,whence come the gorgeous, vivid flowergardens that one sees everywhere, atthe landings on the way and on arrivalthere? The answer is simple: the warmJapan current, striking Vancouver

Island, i s deflected northward, andcarries to the land of the Midnight Sunthe same delightful humidity that thePacific Coast knows. N o t but what inwinter, inland over the White Pass, i tcan be cold!

Marked contrast between the olddays and to-day is observable in trans-portation. For the Chilkoot Pass Trailhas been superseded by the comfortablerailway journey over the White Pass,and the extraordinary, haphazard andovercrowded steamer experiences of theearly days have been superseded by themagnificent service provided b y theCanadian Pacific Princess steamships.

Leaving VancouverThe voyage to Alaska can be divided

into two parts. From Vancouver t oKetchikan the journey is mostly throughnarrow channels, w i t h steep shoresheavily timbered to the water's edge.The second part, from Ketchikan toSkagway, is through wider stretches ofwater, w i th glaciers, waterfalls andrugged mountains on either side, andrichly colored with purple twilights ofAlaska.

Memorable effects are sometimes pro-vided in the narrows o f this InsidePassage, different on every trip accordingto the weather or the season. On nightsof full moon the voyagers may be heldspell-bound on deck by the spectacle ofnot one but many moon-rises. I t soundslike a miracle—to see the moon rise fouror five times one night; but thus i t issometimes. I t swims up in a saddle ofthe high, night-flattened ranges to east,and the mountains to west, that weresimilarly flattened, are illumined. Theirultimate peaks show; their high snow-creases glitter. T h e light runs downthem and reveals their lower flounces ofsleeping forest. Then swiftly the lightrushes up them, pursued by darkness,and again they are just silhouettes ofmountains. A peak to east has dousedthe moon. I t swims up again in the nextsaddle, and the spectacle is repeated.One wonders if it can happen yet again,or if the roll of the world will bring themoon, next time, above the highestpeak, set free in the sky for the night.But no. Over and over again, thoughhigher each time, it floats up to disclosethe scene, then a great flaunt of peak

Alert BayOur first stop is at Alert Bay, a small

village on a small island—Cormorant Is-land—situated close to Vancouver Island.It is nevertheless one of the principalsalmon canning centres of the Coast.Here, in fact, will be our first glimpseof this important industry, and duringthe time in port the canneries invitevisitors to inspect the highly interestingprocesses of turning a large, handsomesalmon into shiny little round cans.

Alert Bay is an old settlement, with aconsiderable Indian population; andhere, too, we make our first contact withanother object typical of the Northland—the totem pole. The Indian cemetery,with some modern poles, is well worththe short stroll to see it.

Prince RupertOn the morning of the second day we

reach Prince Rupert, the most northerlycity of any size in Canada, with a popu-lation of about 7,000. Built on a circle of

Prince Rupert, B.C.5

hills formed of very hard rock, the city isconsiderably above the level o f thewharf and is reached by a long flight ofsteps.

And here you see, and smell, wherethe halibut come from, Prince Rupertbeing an important fishing centre. I fluck be with you the fishing boats maybe coming in and slipping alongside thewharf while the Princess steamer liesthere to give you an hour or two forsight-seeing ashore. Yo u see the fishswung up by the derrick-load andslithering onto the clean-scrubbed plat-forms on which, in thigh-high rubberboots, men await them, two men to aplatform—to give them their firstattention ashore.

Entering AlaskaAbout three hours after leaving Prince

Rupert, Green Island Lighthouse indi-cates our nearness to the internationalboundary line between Canada andAlaska (United States). Dixon Entrance,last entrance of the open Pacific Ocean,is crossed, and we wind our way throughRevilla Gigedo Channel here calledTongass Narrows—to Ketchikan.

KetchikanKetchikan (an Indian word meaning

-the town under the eagle-) is thesouthern-most town in Alaska, situatedon Revilla Gigedo Island. I t might alsobe said to be now the most prosperoustown in Alaska, for salmon and halibuthave made i t rich and given i t largecanneries and cold storage plants. I t isalso a mining centre for copper, gold,platinum, silver and lead, the well-known Salt Chuck platinum mines beingwithin 30 miles. Ketchikan has a bust-ling air, with hotels, stores and banks.

There is also a pleasant walk to thewaterfall in Ketchikan Creek (about 15minutes), where i n the late summermonths thousands of salmon may be seenleaping and struggling through the rush-ing, foaming water on their way to thespawning banks. There are two splendidtotem poles— the Chief Johnson totem,surmounted by Kajuk, a fabled bird ofthe mountain which amuses itself bythrowing rocks at ground hogs, with theRaven and the Frog Woman with herchildren and the Salmon below; and theKyan totem, surmounted by the Crane,followed by the Kyak, another legendarybird, and the Bear.

either side, wi th waterfalls tumblingdown and glaciers crowning their crests.The steamer reaches Wrangell about 4.00a.m., and leaves before breakfast time.We shall, however, have ample time tovisit it on the southbound voyage.

Wrangell

Wrangell, situated on the island ofthe same name, is one of the oldest citiesof Alaska, and is named after BaronWrangell, who was governor about1830. I t was originally a trading post,populated mainly by Indians. Pa r t ofthe Russian fort remains, and there arealso some very old totem poles near thewharf. Wrangell is at the mouth of theStikine River, which, navigable for about17o miles, is the entry point to the cele-brated Cassiar big-game country.

Two hours after leaving Wrangell theship enters Wrangell Narrows. A t thenorth end of the Narrows lies the oldtown of Petersburg, whose name indi-cates i ts origin i n the days o f theRussian regime. I t is now a flourishingfishing centre. Kupreanof Island is onthe west, and after crossing FrederickSound and Cape Fanshaw, we enterStephen's Passage.

Taku GlacierWe are now surrounded by the typical

grandeur of Alaska and when we turn

aside up an inlet there comes a suddenhush on deck; there is a look of astonish-ment on the faces round us. W e slowdown. W e lie still. W e are making acall upon no little coastal town but uponTaku Glacier.

Taku Glacier is one of the loneliestand most majestic things in the world.We get so close to it in comfort that hereagain contrast makes an experience morememorable: on the one hand the Princess(temporarily dwarfed when confrontingits vastness), with all the sophisticationof trig berths and settees and vases ofcut flowers on the tables, on the otherthat terrific product of the high snowsand immense ranges. On calm days it isall beauty and grandeur. On misty daysit is perhaps as impressive, coming downout of nothing, taking dim shape as if itwere a solidification of the mist thatveils its height. I t fills the inlet's endwith its blue-green base, cracked andcaverned. Ice-calves break off and drifttoward us. A sun-glow sifts throughthe haze and gulls scream their whitelines across it. Or full sun may be on it,accentuating the hyaline quality of that

Taku Glacier — amile wide, one hun-dred feet thick

living blue-green ice, making i t irrides-cent, deepening the shadows i n i t screvasses and frontal caverns to indigo.After some while of silent staring wecreep away from it as though apologeticfor our intrusion and it hides itself againin mist, or flashes farewell to us.

There is something almost uncannyabout glaciers, frozen rivers. Th is onecomes down from an enormous snow-field of the interior, and just as manyrivers may take their rise in the sameuplands to flow different ways, so i t iswith the glaciers created by that interiorsnow-field. From the same vast dome ofsnow, constantly refreshed, there flowsdown the Llewellyn Glacier to plungenot into ocean as does the Taku here,but into Lake Atlin, a hundred miles orso inland. A n d between these points,similarly fed, is the Denver Glacier thatslips down into the lap of the mountainsback of Ben-My-Chree at the end o fWest Taku arm. A n d the Menden-hall Glacier, to which you can motor topay your respects to when the Princessstops at Juneau, is but another memberas it were of that family.

JuneauAbout an hour's steaming up Gastineau

Channel brings us to Juneau, clingingto the base and sides of Mount Juneau,which towers 3,500 feet almost perpen-dicularly above. Juneau, named after itsFrench-Canadian founder, is the capitalof Alaska, the residence of the Governor,and the seat of all government depart-ments. With a population of about 4,000,it is a bright and interesting city, built(like so many of these coast settlements)partly on piles over the water, partlyon bare rock, with modern hotels andstores, and many attractive residencesand public buildings.

Juneau has good roads and automo-biles a-plenty; one particularly interest-ing ride is to the face of the MendenhallGlacier (2 hours return) or to Auk Lake(an hour longer). A short hike away isthe Gold Creek Basin, the site of the firstplacer gold strike in Alaska, made byJoe Juneau and Richard Haines in theearly eighties.

The Lynn CanalThe steamer leaves Juneau at mid-

night, and reaches Skagway about 9.00a.m.; but on the southbound journey

"Soapy Smith's Skull" at Skagway10

there is ample opportunity to see thebeautiful Lynn Canal, which, with thepossible exception of the Taku Glacier,provides the most wonderful scenery ofall. For over Bo miles we steam up thisarm of the sea, which varies in widthfrom one to five miles. Mountains ofrock capped with snow, towering glaciersand gushing waterfalls, canyons of allsizes and wild shapes, and colors inrestless variety surround us. DavidsonGlacier is a huge ice wall seen on thewest. Passing the town of Haines andFort Seward, we suddenly turn a pointto see Skagway ahead of us.

SkagwaySkagway, the end of the northbound

run, is a town that has loomed large inthe history of the North. When thegold rush started to the Yukon in 1896,the landing was made at Dyes, whichlies on the western branch of the LynnCanal, and the trail inland led over thedangerous Chilkoot Pass; but word cameof the discovery of the White Pass, andin a day fifteen thousand people leftDyea, and in a day Skagway arose wherebefore was chiefly swamp.

Amongst the marvels of Skagway—tothose at least who have never considered

Alaska as aught but aland of perpetual win-ter — are i ts beautifulflower gardens. T h ebackground o f moun-tains that enclose it likea cup offers many attrac-tive outings, such as-hikes- along the Skag-way River, to FortuneBay, Smuggler's Cove,or the great DenverGlacier. There are finelaunch trips availableand good fishing may behad. T h e steamer re-mains here about 36hours before starting onits southbound journey.

heI I I FIE FARS and YU AI CIV ( D l i i iInland from SkagtvayInteresting though

Skagway is, the shortestvisit would be incom-plete without a journeyto the equally interestingand fascinating "inside.-Such a journey, diffi-cult as i t was in theearly days of the goldrush, can now be easilyundertaken, for Skag-way is the southernterminus of the rail lineof the White Pass andYukon Route. A com-fortable train, with largewindowed observationcars, carries one through the magnificentscenery of the White Pass into the YukonTerritory, connecting at Carcross and atWhite Horse wi th the commodioussteamers of the same company.

For those who are returning south bythe same Princess steamship, there areavailable the excursions to West TakuArm or to White Horse. F o r thosewaiting over until the next steamshipthere is the trip to Atlin Lake where,indeed, many linger longer than theyoriginally intended. B u t those wi thmore time will continue beyond WhiteHorse on the wonderful trip down theYukon River to Dawson.

The White PassThe rail journey is a most spectacular

one. T h e salt tang of the sea is leftbehind, and the sweetness of lake andmountain air fills the nostrils. T h escenery grows rugged and awe-inspiringas we climb steadily around gorges andalong the brink of deep canyons.

There are tourist-centres, tourist-resorts, at which, among the attractions,may be one single and noble waterfallframed in a window, or to which onehikes or is spun along in a car. But here(no slur intended upon any other spotof beauty or grandeur on earth!) there is ariot of cascades. Photographers of water-

When the train stopsthat you may look down on the site ofthe once busy -city- of White Pass thatclustered at the foot o f Dead HorseGulch, where now there is nothing butthe shadow of a cloud passing over theemptiness, you hear the roar of all thesewaters like the sound in a shell held tothe ear.

Some few years ago one could still seethe bleaching bones of the dead horsesthat gave the gulch its name, and still,looking down from the train as it climbsupward, you can pick out fragments ofthe trail of '98, a foot-wide rut up anarrowing and steep gulch. I n placesrockslides have obliterated it, as thoughNature would wipe out the memory ofit, but in these various stretches it showsclear from the tread of uncounted van-ished seekers for quick fortune. T h a twas a bitter trail, and though storiessurvive that give evidence of humanityin individuals who went over it, and ofman's capacity for nobility and care forhis weaker fellows, i t is, in the main, atrail o f callousness. - D e v i l take the

Near the summit of White Pass, bythe track-side, is a symbol of regret forpart of the cruelty of these days thatwere. I t is a memorial, erected by theLadies o f the Golden North and theAlaska Yukon Pioneers, to the threethousand pack-animals that were doneto death on that incompassionate andtruculent trail to the gold-fields.

At White Pass Summit—nearly 3,000feet higher than Skagway in twentymiles !--we leave American territory,and the scarlet-coated Mounted Police-man greets us as we enter Canada.

Lake Bennett, which we have beenskirting these last miles, and along theshores of which we shall continue allthe way to Carcross, has an additionalinterest i f one remembers that once i twas part of the highway to the luringnorth. A s many as four hundred raftshave been on its waters at one time, thegold-hunters hauling on sweeps, o rsculling with them, or aiding themselveson the way with blankets for sails riggedupon lopped trees for masts. Now thereare only the rufflings of wind on it, thetwinkling of points of sunlight. I t windsits watery loneliness round the cliffsand bases of the rockslides, and in com-fort we travel in the train along its shoresto Carcross, one of the jumping-off placesfor side trips— that was once, by theway, called Caribou Crossing. T h echange in the name to Carcross (that isless vocal of the land) was due to muddleswith the mail caused by the existence of adistrict called Cariboo in British Colum-bia's interior.

On still days, the roar ofthese rapids can be heard even in thetown, about an hour's walk distant.As we stand on the brink of this famousgorge, no very highly colored imaginationis necessary to conjure up pictures of theold days. W e can imagine the boldadventurers in their frail craft nearingthese death-dealing rapids, whose watersare thrown from side to side in a longserpentine series of twists, and whichare so troubled that the water rideshigher in the middle than at the sides.Down they came in their mad rush tothe Klondike not at intervals, but in acontinuous procession that was (in thewords of an eye-witness) like traffic on acity street. Some, becoming scared,jumped ashore as they saw their dangers,and watched from the high cliffs theagonies of their boats; but the majoritystayed with their craft. A n d so few

came through unpunished! Those whodid wasted no time in going back to warntheir competitors, but hurried on.

White Horse is a busy little town onthe west bank of Fifty-Mile River (alsoknown as the Lewes River and some-times as the Upper Yukon). There iscomfortable hotel accommodation to beobtained. Trips to the rapids and otherpoints may be made by automobile overgood roads. I t is the terminus of therailway, and the point of departure forthe steamer trip to Dawson.

To the KlondikeThe journey from White Horse to

Dawson and back, one that can be madein about a week, is the fitting climax tothe trip -inside.- Whi te Horse is thepresent head of navigation on the Yukonwaterway (the river in its upper reachesis really a system of tributaries), whichempties into the sea at St. Michael,Alaska, over 2,000 miles distant. I t isa constantly changing succession of pic-tures—rolling hills, sometimes bare,again heavily wooded, towering moun-tain ranges, awe-inspiring rapids, withnow and then a quiet stretch of waterbetween forested banks.

there is an occasional trading-post, or amining camp—perhaps the ghost of adead "bonanza--or a hermit settle-ment where the steamer stops awhile to"wood-up."

Sam McGeeLake Lebarge, a beautiful widening of

the stream (on whose shores, inciden-tally, occurred the episode that inspiredRobert Service's celebrated poem aboutthe cremation of Sam McGee), Hootal-inqua, Little Salmon and Carmacks, withits coal mine, are some of the interestingplaces passed. T h e shooting of FiveFinger Rapids, and their postscript RinkRapids, gives plenty of thrill to even themost jaded. A t Yukon Crossing, theoverland winter trail to Dawson, usedwhen the river is frozen up, is passed,and then Fort Selkirk an importanttrading-centre founded early in the nine-teenth century by the Hudson's BayCompany.

The mouths of mighty tributaries arepassed, amongst them White River—the only large river that enters the Yukonfrom the west or south—and StewartRiver, entrance to the new Mayo silver-lead camp 175 miles east. Smaller

steamers ply the Stewart as far as Mayo,whence it is a case of tractor and autotransport. Swede Creek has a Govern-ment Experimental Agricultural Station,and then we are at Dawson. The tripfrom White Horse takes about two days—the return trip owing to the current,about four days.

DawsonDawson, once the focus of the world's

greatest gold rush, the headquarters ofthe whole Klondike region, is now achanged place. Min ing operations arestill in progress, but they are carried onunder hydraulic and dredging conditions.The hectic life of which one reads inService and Jack London is of the past.Gone are the highly-colored, sensationalchapters of Dawson's history, when thecity was the rendezvous of desperadoesas well as miners; and dance halls,saloons and gambling places ran wideopen for the full twenty-four hours.To be able to recall that -them was thedays" makes one a real old-timer, asourdough—but not necessarily a morethan middle-aged man.

Dawson is the administrative centreof the Yukon Territory, and the head-quarters of a large detachment of thatfine body of men, the Mounted Police.

Dawson--hub of the Ktondyke region16

It is beautifully situated on a bend of theYukon River, up-to-date, well-built,with comfortable hotels, fine homes'andpretty flower gardens.

Over good roads one can visit miningplants and old, played-out but famousbonanza claims. T h e Indian village ofMoosehide and the fox farms, are wortha visit; while the old cabin of Robert W.Service, the poet laureate of the North,land, is the objective of many pilgrimages.

To Arlin

To A t lin is another delightful excur-sion from Skagway, either as a side tripon the Dawson trip or as one in itself.The route is the same as before to Car-cross, but here the commodious steamerTutshi is taken

The steamer first crosses Lake Nares,and then through the narrows entersTagish Lake, horseshoe-shaped andguarded by high peaks. O l d miningtowns and fox farms are seen along theway. Presently we turn into the TakuArm of the lake, a beautiful sheet ofwater encompassed by the most inspiringscenery, and then into Taku Inlet as faras Taku Landing. Here, a transfer ismade across a three-mile neck of land bya unique little train.

At the end of the portage we reachLake A t lin, and board the twin-screwmotorship Tarahne for a six-mile run tothe little town of A t lin. A t lin is thebase of supplies for one of the richesthydraulic mining camps in British Col-umbia. Those who like fishing can trytheir luck at trout, whitefish, or grayling.

Llewellyn GlacierThe principal event o f the trip to

Atlin is the excursion on the steamerTarahne. For about forty miles the boatwinds i t s way through the narrowmountain-ribbed passage of the WestChannel to the foot of Cathedral Moun-tain. Here, on a still day, the reflectionsof the mountains are even more beautifulthan the mountains themselves.

West Taku ArmAnother beautiful scenic trip is that

to the West Taku Arm, which has beenespecially designed for passengers whoare making the round trip from Van-couver to Skagway and back on thesame steamship, and who cannot sparesufficient time to avail themselves of oneof the other tours -inside.-

Far down Taku Arm, where the peaksrise from a wilderness of low sprucetrees that have a blue bloom on them,you will see a small white cross on theshore near the narrows called GoldenGate. A story of the north it tells: Hereit was that an old-timer of that vast land—Jack Fox ended his life wi th avaliant gesture that keeps his name alive.He was mushing out along the lake withan important letter from the EngineerMine (which you wil l come to later,under the majesty of Engineer Moun-tain), and the ice broke before him. Hefell in . A t t e m p t s t o clamber outunavailing, before the chill stopped hisheart-beats he stretched down and tookoff a snow-shoe, tied the letter to it andsent it flying over the ice like a light sled.When he did not return on time a searchparty set out to look for him, found thesnow-shoe wi th the letter—deliveredto the best of his ability— and saw bythe condition of the ice where he hadgone down. The north holds many suchstories of resolute men whom the touchof Death could not -rattle,- but whohave gone out bravely.

The route followed is the same as toAtlin, except that at the Golden Gate,instead of turning into the Taku Inlet,the steamer continues a southerly courseand then west, reaching West TakuArm Landing and Ben-My-Chree home-stead. Passengers sleep on board andreach Carcross in the morning in time tocatch the south-bound train and theirsteamer.

Inquire, a t Carcross, i f the Indianwho remembers the great discovery ofgold in the Klondike is going to make atalk. A n d , i f he is, ask then at whathour, and go and hear him. I t is worthmuch more than the twenty-five centsthat his daughter will collect from youat the door. Here is a lecture that isdifferent. He tells of the coming in, fromoutside, of Mr. Carmacks, and the goingon of Mr. Carmacks, and how someyears later they went in search of Mr.Carmacks wondering i f he was alive,wondering if he was dead in rapids, orotherwise, and how they found not onlyMr. Carmacks but another white manwho had found much gold. You hear itall from the angle of the Indian, spokenin English of which you may miss a wordor two, to be sure, if not accustomed tolistening t o such talk, b u t utterlyenthralling. When he has told you of

the gold-rush as the In-dians saw it, he explainshow his people t rap(with specimen trapsround him to aid in theexposition), and thengives you the calls theymake to lure the wildanimals. To hear PatsyHenderson tell of thesethings is one of the greatexperiences of this re-markably varied trip in-to the strange north.

A Fine Circle TripFrom Dawson t h e

journey can be continuedinto central-western and

south-western Alaska on a truly magnifi-cent circle tour. During the summer seasonthe White Pass and Yukon Route oper-ates steamers down the Yukon River,actually a t Fort Yukon—crossing theArctic Circle. Turning round up theTanana River, which flows in from thesouth, the steamer brings one, in aboutfive days from Dawson, to Nenana.

Here the Alaska Railroad is met—running north to Fairbanks the centreof a great placer gold mining district,and south to Seward, on the Gulf ofAlaska. The latter takes one fairly closeto Mount McKinley National Park, andthe majestic Mountain itself —highestpeak of the North American continent—is in sight practically all day. Farthersouth is Anchorage, where the U.S. Gov-ernment commenced construction of theAlaska Railroad into the interior in 1915.

Another route from Fairbanks is bythe Richardson Automobile Highway toChitina—a splendid d a y motor tripthrough a very primitive country, con-necting with the Copper River andNorthwestern Railway back to the sea-port of Cordova.

From either Seward o r Cordovasteamer can be taken to Juneau, and thesouthbound journey resumed there byCanadian Pacific.

,YhetiVIT77-1- 1 ,14 and 111114C111Historical Notes

The region now known as Alaskawas first visited by white men in 1741,when two Russian officers, CaptainsBering and Chirikov, explored the coastas far south as Dixon Entrance. Manytraders and trappers followed them, andKodiak Island was settled i n 1784.Owing to the excesses committed byprivate traders, who robbed and mas-sacred the Indians, Russia created in 1799a semi-official corporation called theRussian-American Company, AlexanderBaranov, a famous administrator, foundedSitka in 1804. T h e monopoly of thiscompany ended in 1861, with the ap-pointment of Prince Matsukov, an im-perial governor. The United States hadalready made overtures for the purchaseof "Russian America,- and in 1867 thepurchase was consummated for the priceof $7,200,000.

But thus far the Northland had beenconsidered only in terms of fisheries andthe fur trade. The discovery of mineralwealth was made much more slowly,and i t was not until the sensationalfinds of rich "placers- in the Klondike in1896, which culminated in one of themost hectic gold rushes of modern times,that the attention o f the world wasriveted upon this feat-ure. The Yukon Terri-tory was constituted in1898. The Yukon Riverwas explored b y Rus-sians as long ago as 1842,and in 1883 LieutenantFrederick Schwatka cros-sed the Chilkoot Pass,descended t h e LewesRiver to Fort Selkirk,and so down the riverto the sea.

The entrance to theinterior country of theYukon, back as early as186o, was via Dyea andthe Chi lkoot Tra i l .When the Klondike was

discovered, the stampeders used this trailuntil the discovery of the trail from Skag-way over the White Pass to Lake Bennett.The Chilkoot Trail was practically aban-doned during 1897; the White Pass wasthe "Trail of '98,- and was not aban-doned until the White Pass Railway wascompleted.

Books About the North/andA great many interesting books can

be obtained about Alaska and theYukon. B y all means read some beforeyou start, such as Rockwell Kent'srecord o f his Alaskan travel, or, i nanother vein, Archdeacon Stock's rem-iniscences of his service in the Northland.There are the well-known stories by RexBeach—"The Spoilers,- "The Barrier,"and "The Silver Horde;" Jack London'sfamous "Call of the Wild- and manyothers; Elizabeth Robins' "MagneticNorth- and "Come and Find Me; -James Oliver Curwood's "Alaskan;"Edison Marshall's "Seward's Folly;"and Robert W. Service's "Tra i l o fNinety-Eight.-

Service's poems, "Songs o f a Sour-dough" and "Ballads of a Cheechako,"are, we imagine, so well-known as hardlyto need mention.

Totem Poles

The totem poles of the Indians of BritishColumbia constitute one of the most strikingfeatures of the whole north-west coast. Theselong shafts, irregularly planted on the seashoreamong smoke and feast houses, convey impres-sions from a strange world. The rugged peaksand wooded gorges beyond, with their ever-changing shades of dark greens and soft blues,provide a unique setting for them. A n d thesquat, Mongolian features of the Indians them-selves carry one's imagination into the mysteri-ous realms of Asia.

These remarkable carvings should not bemistaken for idols or deities. They were neverworshipped. Bu t they are pictorial records ofhistory and mythology, as the Indians under-stand them. Some of them represent the Raven,the Eagle, the Killer-whale and the Wolf, whichare the emblems of the largest social groups inthe nation. The Bear, the Frog, the Sea-Lion,the Beaver, the Thunder-Bird and many othersare the crests of various clans. Here we have todo only with coats-of-arms.

Other characters are occasionally introducedamong these figures, which are understoodthrough the medium of myths and tales of thepast. These are the ancestors of the owners,and often the -uncle- in whose honor the polewas erected after his death, by his nephew orlegitimate successor. Battles and other notedevents are also commemorated on poles. A manwho wishes to ridicule a rival or discredit aninsolvent debtor may represent h im headdownwards on whatever pole he may erect in afeast.

There were once many native artists of greatrepute, who were hired at large for carving poles,according to definite instructions furnished them.Large logs were hauled over long distances forthe purpose. When the carving was finished,numerous guests assembled for the potlatch orfeast of commemoration. Lavish presents weremade to the guests, whose function i t was toremember the meaning of the figures on the polesand acknowledge the rights of the legitimateowners.

Ne1141/1111111E 10/41I1 and EtIAIIDIIndians

The natives of the West Coast arestrikingly different from other NorthAmerican Indians; to many they are notIndians at all, but a race apart, whosecharacteristics are reminiscent of Asia.Their ancestors are indeed likely to havecome to these shores across the sea orover the Strait of Bering, long ago, afterearlier migrations had already peopledmost of the two American continents.

The name o f "Siwash,- ignorantlygiven them, is derived from the Frenchsauvage. T h e y really belong to morethan five races, whose languages aretotally different; t h e Salish, whosehabitat once covered much territoryaround Victoria, Vancouver, and themain coast north and south—the Nootka,who dwell on the west coast of Van-couver Island and their distant relatives,the Kwakiutl, whose territories stretchnorthwards from Vancouver Island to apoint near the Skeena River—the Tsim-shian of the Skeena and Nass Rivers andthe adjacent coast, near the presenttown of Prince Rupert—the Haidas ofQueen Charlotte and Prince of WalesIslands—and the Tlingit of the Alaskancoast. Another race, whose name isDene or Athapascan, inhabit much of theinterior, beyond the boundaries of theabove-named nations.

The west coast natives are essentiallyfisher folk; they formerly secured theirfood almost wholly from the sea. I t con-

21

sisted of seals, whales, salmon, halibut,fish roe and oolachcn, or candle fish.Their dug-out canoes stood to them asdid the horse to the buffalo-huntingIndians of the prairies a century ago.Before the advent o f Europeans theycould hardly ever venture beyond theirfrontiers. W a r and daring raids weremost common among them, for theywere bold, venturesome and cruel. Evento this day they are fond of relatingtales of adventure of the none too distantpast.

They were not nomadic, as were theireastern neighbors, b u t each familyclaimed hunting grounds and territorieswithin the national boundaries. Theymigrated to their hunting and fishingcamps in the spring and returned to theirvillages on the coast in the autumn.

Community life was active only in thewinter t ha t is. during the potlatchseason. T h e leaders then proceededsternly to their business—the exchangeof goods, the promotion of their childrenand nephews, and the various ceremoniesthat appertained to their social welfareand dutiful commemoration of the deedsof their ancestors. They were keen andthrifty, and their will unbending. Theirnumbers were formerly considerable,but they are now passing away like theother natives; and their culture hasforever given way to that of invadersfrom the West and the East who aregradually driving them off the land.
