As the Alaska liners pillow their
way through the waters OF the far
famed Inland Passage, hundreds Of
large and small glaciers are seen
from the decks OF the vessel.
Now and then the tourist will be
awakened from a reverie by the
laundering crash of the Jagged ice
falling from the high and precipitous
cliffs which revive the sleeping echoes
in the neighboring pine-clad noun
tains.
Floating ice often whitens the va
rious channels through which vessels
must pass before the terminus at
the head of Lynn Canal is reached.
This wonderful sight appeals at
once to the restless mind, and dur
ing the heightened twilights of sum-
mer the weird beauty leaves an in

traveller. When the Midnight Sun
is shining in all it's glory the tricks

the backbone of which was broken in

Speaker Cannon, according to all re

the idea that anybody or any organiZa-

sion do anything. In fact. the speaker
showed his anger so plainly as to give
the impression that the publishers and
others who have been jogging con-
gress's memory in regard to paper and
the paper trust have thereby hurt the
cause they sought to advance. The
speaker referred to the special commit

that such individuals and organiza-
