 ing June. We also took 1urney tc the famous Davidson Glacier. and watched the mountain sheep high up on the mountain jump fEom hummock to hummock. The glacier is a won- derful sight large mass. of foe be- tween the mountains which, we were told, moves at the rate of ten feet in one year. In many of the pools of water in the ice small white fish could be seen. This glacier is only one of many along the coast which is so easy to reach. It Is only five miles up the railroad track and the train takes people up for one dollar from Skaw- gay, while, if you desire, it's a fius walk along the track We'll, the rail :. road informed us that boat was due in White Horse. SO we embarked on the train after q stay of four days amid surroundings that will not be soon forgotten,
 The railroad is a narrow guaRe, and in climbing the mountain had eight cars, four passenger and four freight cars, with two Baldwin en. zines ahead. It twists up the side of the mountains, and the fellows would say. Lean on the uphill side, fell lows, or she'll tip over.' Such can- yons and deep valleys. and at one point we pass over a oantilever bridge 25O feet high. This bridge spans the famous White Horse Pass. The old White Pass trail is very seldom used now since the road was built, but a few have the courage to attempt 1t owing to the high rates on the rail- road, 90 cents per mile. We oross the international boundry line oD the railroad, and the American and Eng fish flags float side by side, and a fel low can stand with one foot in U. s. territory and one in British. North west mounted police are stationed here and act as custom officials, while the U. s. has also custom officials on all trains. From this point the rail- road passes through rolling country, sloping gradually down to the souros of the Yukon river, Lake Bennett, where we have twenty minutes for lunch. Nothing here except q rail- road station and an old abandoned Russian mission. Miners in early days used to build boats here at Ben- nett and float down river to Dawson, but since the railroad was built noth- ing of interest except the "lunch counter.''
 Before reaching the town of White Horse the river passes through Miles Canyon, and in early days the pros- pectors used to shoot the rapids in boats or on rafts. and many lost their lives and much valuable property in passing through the terrible rapids be- tween high walls of granite. The river is only about two hundred feet wide in the canyon, and the enormous amount of water from the mountains and lake rush through in 8 boiling rapids. We arrived at last at White Horse, and it's quite an up-to. date town. It is in the British territory, and is the farthest point that steam CTS can navigate the river, hence the terminal of the railroad and the be- ginning of water transportation. Such a river. twisting in and out among the mountains and hardly four feet deep in places, and really the navi- gators of one of these river boats must be an expert at the wheel. While at White Horse ws were invited by the mounted police to dinner, and they are fine body of men and no mistake. Big huskies and full of life. They had large black bear chained up in the rear of the quarters. and told us that the mountains near by contained game of all descriptions, even to oari- bou and moose
