terminus of the White Pass Yukon rail-

the Pacific ocean and the Yukon river, the
great artery of central Alaska. This railroad
is one of the interesting engineering accom-

it follows the valley bottom of the Skagway
river for about three miles, and then gradu-
ally climbs the precipitous sides, winding in
and out of the smaller side valleys and can
