GLOWING TRIBUTE TO
 KLONDIKE SOURDOUGHS

Klondike is seventeen years old to- day, and the people of the realm are proudly celebrating the anniversary The pioneers, the men who blazed the way and made it possible for all oth- CTS to be here and enjoy the advan- tages, are deservedly in charge of the celebration.
 Nineteen years have elapsed since the Yukon Order of Pioneers was or ganized Many since that time have been called on the last stampede, and each year sees the number of gray haired veterans rapidly grow less.
 Klondike should, and does, appre- ciate the labors of these men who have sacrificed their lives in the develop ment of the land which they now leave golden and inexhaustible heritage to those who come after.
 The succeeding generations never will know nor be fully able to com prehend the hardship and the priva- tion suffered by the first men to en- ter this region and lay it open, a trophy and a tribute to the world.
 New camps-many of them-will be opened in the Northland, but none will be borne with the same romance and the same toll and stress of Forty mile, Circle and KlOndike.
 The fearless army which came to these earlier camps had no predeces- sOrs to teach them the way of con- quering the frozen areas. All had to learn and pay for the knowledge with the price called experience. Those who open future Northern camps in herit the knowledge, and know how to go prepared. They know how to mine in the frozen gravels, how to travel in the dead of winter, how to cope with thousand and one cOndi- tions which at first were solved only through suffering.
 To the first of these adventuresome spirits to enter the Yukon should be given the greatest credit. Their names should be made imperishable.
 Men who dared enter the wilderness of the Yukon valley against all the risks were men of steel nerves and unbending wills.
 To search out the really dominant and inspiring spirits who opened the way and to erect to their memories suitable monuments or other memOr- ials would be fitting.
 The spirit of pioneer conquest should be immortalized in the minds of those who followed the blazed trail.
 The lessons of perseverance woven about stalwart figures will become hal lowed and inspiring as they season with time.
 Men of present and succeeding days are of the same blood as the pioneers; have hearts as courageous, and wills as indomitable, but the men of today have a new task before them-the ask of development and exploitation, brought to them by the pioneers.
 The land which the pioneers gave their sons of today is inexhaustible. The greatest energy and perseverance will be necessary to realize the great est benefits.
 And while appreciative of the match less opportunities that lie on every hand, let everyone gather and re- ioice in the Northland empire and pass the laurels to the first in the land the YUKON SOURDOUGHS.-Daw- son News.
