interior Of Alaska. 1t was because
Of them that she had grown and -four

her docks and her dives. But at the
time when this story opens Alaska had
developed to a point where ar over
land outlet by winter and q circuitous
inlet by way Of Boring sea and the
crooked Yukon In summer were no
longer sufficient There was need Of a
permanent route by means Of which
men and freight might come and go
through all the year. The famous
North Pass and Yukon railway. far to
the eastward. afforded transportation
to Dawson City and the Canadian ter
ritory and had proved itself such a
financial success that builders began
to look for a harbor more to the west
ward, from which they could tap the
great heart Of Alaska. Thus 1t was
that Cortez awoke one morning to find
herself selected as the terminus of a
new line. Other railway propositions
followed. fiimsy promotion schemes
