(ood Rrner IKlffing Company (continued kkom i.aht wkkk) An we now look down Into a little valley below us several thousand feet we can aee the old White Pass city, at one time a place of 20,000 people sheltered In tents under the scrubby trees and the cold blue sky of beaven. It was here that the ex cited gold-seekers began climbing the rocky bill and trailing ap the great White Pane with tbelr burdensome loads on their backs, and where, In places, they actually climbed on tbelr hands and knees for fear they would lose their balance and plunge head long Into the dark abyss thousands of feet below. This place Is known to this day as Dead Horse gulch, where many men, as well as horses, went down Into the Jaws of death. I do not wonder that strong hearts grew faint when they reached the summit, 3,000 feet high, on beholding mountains to the right of them, mountains to the left of them, and, as far as the eye could see, moun tains In front of tbetn. And as we are passing along at our ease and looking down on the old trail of that memorable year of 1SU7 and '98, we cannot help shuddering. Our train has now reached the summit, and while we take a look at the bronze statue, we stand at once on the soil of two great nations. But we are w going down the Thompson river, and we pass many small lakes and now and then a morass. The winds from the snow-capped nioun tains are sweeping over the bare rocks as we go down the canyon We at last have reached the head waters of the great Yukon river, Lake Bennett, where at one time 15,000 men were camped on Its shores con structlng, out of the scrubby timber, boats and rafts to carry tbelr stuff down the chain of lakes to the river, and the only building standing now Is a lonely little church which has been turned over to the Alaskan owl and a congregation of Prairie dogs Some distance away Is now a small depot and railroad eating house. It Is at this place that the train meets the one from White Horse Rapids, and here some of our party turned back while others went on north, bound for many different points In that far-away country. We have now returned to Skag ray, and a hurried walk brings us own to our steamer, which Is Just pulling away as the last passenger i on board. The shadows now over over the beatulful bay, while the sun Is putting his golden lining on the "Saw Tooth" mountains be hind us, and the clear, Icy pinnacles of the glaciers sparkle and glitter like so many diamonds. it Is now morning again and we are leaving Icy and Chatham Straits and passing through Peril Strait and around to the west side of Baronof aland to that quaint old Russian town, Sitka, which was for many years the capital of that vast coun try. It Is situated on a beauti ful tract of undulating ground ex tending from the bay back to the base of the snow-capped Mt. Vers torol. As we leave the dock we pass up the street where the Indians have a great many temporary booths, and as they sit lu them, on the ground, they offer for sale their baskets and a great many other articles of their handicraft, some of which are very leautlful ns well as eccentric. artner up tne street we pass many f the old Russian buildings, con iruetea oi logs, many which were nearly two' feet lu diameter. Some of these were used for stalling the cattle, while others were for the con lets. As we pass along the wind Ing street we notice the old water mill where they used to grind the heat purchased In California from the Spaniards, and now one of the Id tulllHtones or burrs leans up gainst the old log mill. As we wan der along the street to the beautiful ark, we pass many peculiarly con tructed old buildings. The park, with Its winding paths and pretty trees and flowers. Is ornamented with the Totem poles of many tribes of Indians. We next visit the Shelton Jackson Museum, which contains a great many Russian and Indian curios; and If I were to tell you all about them It would necessitate me writing a large book. I could also tell you much about the government's ex perimental farm and the Industrial school for Indians, If space would permit. But the old church, with Its most leautlful chiming bells, must not te forgotten. It Is built after the style of the Wreck or double cross, and as we enter the outer door we pay the lady 50 rents and are ushered Into the large room, or church, where we have to register our names, and then we are turned over to the custodian, who Is waiting to show and explain many very Iwautlful pictures which are Inlaid on Ivory and precious woods with solid gold and silver, and also many very beautiful oil paintings. They are all the work of master srtlst and so old that their A supplemental premium list to the Oregon Apple Show, which will be held under the auspices of the O egon Horticultural Society la the Armory at Portland November 30 to Decern her 2, adds a sweepstakes prize of $3.10 cash, and a prize of $250 cash to be given by Louis W.
