low bushes and the beautiful Chil- cat just beyond pretty beach
 The sun. as it got higher made it warmer and once or twice we stopped to pick raspberries. or to get fresh glass 0 fwater from a mountain stream. At one place the trees met, and as we passed between they switched in our faces, and we were glad indeed that it was not raining for how disagreeable it would have been had the branches been wet.
 The road, as have said, was very winding, and as one looked over the cliffs at some places where the trees were low, or the road very high. it looked like large mirror with a large rock here and there with the water washing about it gently. Some places the current was very swift and if one watched the sand bars closely one could see them for a few moments only. Then the sand bar that had been seen in one place could not longer be seen, but one just like if in another place. Here and there one would see canoe, from which Indians were fishing Then again one would see several Indians with all their be longings padding down the river just as happy as birds with no care, no troubles, nothing to resent in the mast and no reason to look into the future.
 We stopped at one of the Indian camps. Here they brought the fish which they were to put up for win ter The larger part of the fish is made up of a small kind, called

l had lived in the east ever since was a little girl, but at last l was to visit Alaska So many people have taken the trip across the con tinent that 1 will not try to tell of the beautiful scenery, nor am l go- ing to tell about the grand boat trip from Seattle to a little town called Haines
 Yes, it was to Haines, a very small town in Southeastern Alaska, that l went to spend most enjoyable va cation.
 Haines is known for it's beauty. lt is surrounded by water and on the other side of each body of water are very beautiful mountains. which are snow-capped all the year around.
 Then there are mines not far from this little place. which |, of course, wished to see. So one bright. early morning we decided to take an auto bile and ride up a very beautiful winding road of fifty-two miles.
 We started with suitcase. for we did not know just when we could get back, as it is according to the tides, for sometimes they sweep the bridges down the river, and then one must wait until they are fixed. A lunch was also prepared, and then we started, there being four in our party.
 Since it was bright and warm, we sang songs, the birds criped, the auto" squeeked and thus we en. joyed ourselves thoroughly. A mile out from Haines through straight road with trees on either side. Then on.. turning to the right, we saw high trees on one side; on the other

Extra vote offers during the cam paign for subscribers give the differ ent candidates the opportunity to build up reserve that all good business houses or corporations do. For this reason they may need it i'll the future. We put away a re- serve in almost everything that we need to live on and why not create a reserve of votes to win that Buick?
 Now is the last opportunity for the different ladies to make that re- serve before the votes go to the single schedule.
 There may be many ways of using them. Several of the candidates are striving, for instance, to make week ly reports in order to keep up with

 It grew dusk and there was the most wonderful sunset imaginable As the sun sank behind the noun. tain it spread such beautiful pink rays across the blue sky that as the moon came up it looked like a gold watch on pink tissue paper. One could hardly realize that it was ev- ening We sailed softly on for hours
 Then of a sudden the sky changed and it became gray. The Ecoon seemed as though it were trying to hide behind three clouds, for as soon as one fitted away from it, it would slide under another Our brave war rior shook his head, and said, ''we had better make for shore" Oh how dark it was getting. We made for Windy Point" at once, but when we got there the other canoe was nowhere in sight.
 It began to rain. or rather pour Here we were with one tent, few blankets. no food. no stove and the other half of our party gone, land knew where. We pitched the tent among some wet trees, and did our best to get bonfire going, so that the others might know where we were. After the first shower was over, it cleared a little and then we all went to look for the boat. Some went one way some the other.
 After a long march, however, one by one. each of us came back with no news. Very little sleeping was done and in the morning as it be came clearer, once again we searched
 This time some of us walked up on the road At last. from a dis tance we saw a tent and as we went up to it whom should it be but those whom we had missed? There was great rejoicing.
 On looking around we saw some well-laid out land and on going to ward it we saw that it was gar

 We saw the native homes. and a large house used for their dances, which are given after the fishing season in October
 The mine is called Poreupine Gold mine. There were a number of houses in this camp. One house was the mess house or q large dining room. Other houses were occupied by families. To my great sorrow found many married to illiterate old native women. Then the mine, One had to descend by way of ladder-and here we saw gold in the raw stage They let us pick a few nuggets, which we took home with us. Mine, I had made into a pin, which has since been very greatly admired.
 After several days of enjoying our selves by going on long hikes, we got ready to start home. To our horror the car had been broken. and there would not be q wagon up for several days. What would we do? Then a bright idea was made known. Why not take an Indian canoe and sail down the Chilcat? Think of such an experience! Well, this wonderful trip, for which l had envied the Indians as l came up, was trip that l, too was to enjoy. A large canoe was found to carry two strong Indians and our party of four | was permitted to sit in the bow if | promised to sit very quiet ly- and how quickly l did promise. Then, as there were two Indian children already in the canoe we had to take two canoes. Two only of our party could sit in each canoe.
 The sun seemed hotter than when we went up the river, but that was because there were no trees to shade us Since the river was not very deep in some places one could see the prettiest gravel formation ever. And what picture the whole thing did make. A blue sky. green river green trees on either side ol
