It was 4 a. m. when we tumbled Into
our bunks aboard the river steamer
Yukon, and we were well across Lake
La Barge before I awoke, several
little incidents occurred to break the
tedium. We beard one morning an out
cry on the forward deck. Leaving
our bridge game, we rushed out to dis

far ahead. With the helm. shifted a
little the steamer bore down directly
upon the swimmer and In a moment
had passed over It. Running aft, we
saw the bear bob up unharmed, and,
after shaking himself like a dog, swim
serenely on his way.
We arrived at Fairbanks on the af

HERE ARE THE NEW REO MODELS AND THE NEW REO PRICES
Look at the cars, consider the values, and when your astonishment has somewhat abated, ask for a
copy of the "advance catalog," and read the story or how these prices for these quality cars were made
possible. 1 . '
For without that explanation you could not understand, could not accept these values as genuine.
It's an interesting story, too-absorbingly interesting and of vital import to you if you contemplate the
purchase of a car this year.
It explains why, when it was impossible for the maker to materially reduce the prices of Reos without
reducing the quality, Reo dealers found the solution, and by dividing their profit with the buyer, placed
these remarkable values within your reach. ' j u
It gives you a glimpse into the inner workings of Reo when you've read it you'll understand and the
better appreciate the policy that has made the Reo success the most substantial and in many ways the
greatest success in this industry. . j ,
As you read you'll feel as if you were talking with the Reo Folk and when you've finished you 11
feel as if you knew them personally. '
And, finally, when you learn the facts that, Reo Dealers having learned, made it possible for them to
co-operate with the factory to make Reo values the greatest values, you'll conclude that a Reo is the car
for you "Reo the Fifth," the "Incomparable Four" at $875; or the new Sheer-line Reo Six at $1250

As the days went by the more won
derful grew the scenery. At times we
would pass through a channel so nar
row that It seemed as If we were trav
ersing a great deep and green river,
and the echoes from the screw were
thrown back from both shores. The
shores were precipitous walls, spruce
clad and tilting down from snow-capped
summits. .Little waterfalls trickled
down every slope.
We touched at Ketchikan and
Wrangel, and at Juneau spent a part
of a very pleasant afternoon. Skag

at the extreme end of Lynn canal, a
narrow channel with many small
glaciers on its Bhores, Is almost deserted.
Leaving Skagway on the world-fa

the train started the heavy climb al
most immediately. There were places
on the climb, where looking down an
enormous depth, we could see the tum

A great deal has been written of the
Alaska mosquito, but nowhere have I
seen acoounts of the little Insects ex
aggerated. During the period from
May to August It was necessary that
one wear constantly a head net that
drooped from a stiff-brimmed hat to
a bottom taken in and securely tied
around the chest. To protect one's
hand '. one had to wear heavy canvas
gauntlets, which wen tied tightly
about the wrists. The little pests
would sting right through an ordinary
cotton shirt, so I found it necessary
to wear an additional flannel shirt, At
lunch "on line" we would build
smudge, and, somewhat relieved at
least from the attack of the "bugs,
would eat our sandwiches In a bath
of smoke.
The matter of baths was difficult
Often tn the evening we would pad

before we could get back Into our

No Doubt That Resinol
Doe Heal Sick Skin
When you know physicians have
prescribed Resinol for 20 years in the
treatment of eczema and other Itch
ing, burning, unsightly skin eruptions,
and have written thousands of reports
saying: "It Is my regular prescription
for Itching," "Resinol has produced
brilliant results," "The result It gave
was marvelous In one of the worst
cases of eczema," etc., etc., doesn't it
make you feel that "this is the treat
ment I can rely on for MY skin-trouble?"
The moment Resinol Ointment
touches itching skins, the itching
stops and healing begins. With the
aid of Resinol Soap, it almost always
clears away every trace of eczema,
ringworm, pimples, or other distress
ing eruption quickly, leaving the skin
clear and healthy. Sold by all druggists.

He Knew Right Enough.
The famous botanist was pacing
slowly along the country road, his
eyes, as usual, roaming from side to
side for new plants to study.
Suddenly an eager look swept across
his features, and he leaned over the
low fence enclosing a cottage garden.
He had found a plant he did not know.
What could it be? If only he had a
specimen of It to study!
At that moment a shock-headed lad
strolled along the road and Btopped
to gaze open-mouthed at him.
"I say." called the botanist urgent
ly. "See that plant there that pale
pink one in the corner? Do you know
It?"
"Uhuh!" said the country boy brief
ly. "What's its name? Do you know
what family It belongs to?"
The lad jerked a grubby thumb over
his shoulder toward the little cottage,
as he spoke more briefly still:
"Higglnses!"
