Mrs. Al Osborn Dies

Mrs. Al Osborn died at Vixen Inlet Monday morning. The re- mains were brought to Wrangell Tuesday and inferred in the Red- mems cemetery Wednesday morn- ing, Rev. H. P. Corser conducting the funeral service.
 Mrs. Osborn is survived by a husband and four children: John, aged 1a; Gertrude, 9; Albert 6; Anne, 4.
 Mrs. Osborn was born in Wran- gell 3I years ago. Before her mar riage she was Miss Lucy Kluitz. Her death is attributed to heart disease, although it was generally supposed that she had consumption
 In July of last year MT. and Mrs. Osborn lost their son, Lean- der, aged 10. Up to that time she had always been in vigorous health. Her health begun to fail immedi- ately after the death of her child, and she was never we'll again.
 For more than a year MT. Os- born's chief concern has been his wife's health. He has had her in the hospital at Juneau twice. This summer he sent her to Telegraph Creek for three months. Three weeks ago she joined her husband al Vix- en Inlet. Mr. Osborn had planned to send her to Long Beach, Cal, in about three weeks.
 In conversation with the Senti- nel reporter Mir. Osborn said that he has no definite plans for the future. He said that his children are all that he has to live for, and that he is anxious to get in touch with some good educational in- stitution that would take all of his children, as he does not want them separated. He is Very anxious that his children grow up together, and instead of growing apart, be- come nearer ana dearer to each other as they grow older.

success. Fox farming is another industry that is proving a success in this locality. In addition to its industries Telegraph Creek is al- so an outfitting point for big game hunters. At the present time there are several parties of prominent people hunting big game in the region of Dease lake who outfitted at Telegraph Creek Last fall the Sentinel reporter talked with hunters who were returning from a hunt in the Telegraph Creek region. One gentleman who was veteran big game hunter stated that the country east of Telegraph Creek is the greatest big game region on the North American continent. That this is beginning to be real ized is shown by the fact that eleven big game hunters are al. ready booked for next season with Mrs. Hyland who supplies horses, guides, etc., necessary for the hunt. Mr. J. Frank Cal breath who also outfits game hun- ters, and is well known to sports men, told us that he has also had a number of communications from hunters who will come next year.
 More than 100 horses are owned by Telegraph Creek parties. One would naturally think that win tering horses would be consid- erable expense in a region where hay is sold at $70 a ton. To our surprise we were told that horses may be left on the range all the winter and be in prime condition in spring.
 Our trip also included a visit to ] the Indian village of Tahltan and the lava beds 15 miles above Tel egrapll creek. In the party ma king the trip were Capt. Chas. k. Binkley of the Hazel B III, Mrs. Parsons of Berkely, Miss Hyland, Rev. H. P. Corser, and the Sentinel man.
 The village of Tahltan is surprisingly clean and well kept. Near Tahltan is a. bluff from which one may get a tremendous sweep of vision as he looks down into the great ampitheatre of na- ture. If one looks below there is a carpet of green and other colors representing the various phases of vegetation; if one looks up- ward he beholds a labyrinth of peaks. From this attractive point we journeyed down the valley to the lava beds, where we found great piles of cinders, some of them coal black, while others were of a reddish color. There is evidence of several successive periods of activity between, suf- ficiently long for soil to form and vegetation to flourish. In the re- zion of Tahltan the banks of the Stikine on both sides are covered with cinders or lava and many interesting formations are found. The volcanic activities in this re- zion are said to be recent. How ever, it is practically certain that all disturbances had ceased long before Columbus discovered Am erica.
 One of the priceless possessions of the upper Stikine is it's forests. It will be generations before this region will face a timber prob lem. Besides, the forest has more than material value to hu. man life. Its beauty and strength are a part of a larger heritage. It is the last frontier where the spirit of the wild has eternal refuge. Everywhere we went we found an undergrowth of wild roses, wild entrants, wild rasr- berries, saskatoon berries, etc. The rose bushes, however, were

OUR TRIP UP
 THE S7IKINE
Hazel B III Makes Voyage From Wrangell to Telegraph Creek in 24 Hours and 56 Min
 utes Running Time

urday afternoon from the most scenic trip he had ever taken in his life. It is needless to say that he had been to Telegraph Creek. Ever since coming to Alaska we have heard of the wonderful scenery along the Stikine. We have never doubted that it was a wonderful trip we'll worth ta- king, but had no idea that the whole length of the stream was one continuous panorama of scen- ic grandeaur. It seems incredible that the outside world should know so little of a stream that will become famous as soon as its wonders become more generally known.
 The steamship folders tell of the wonderful mountain scenery along the Inside Passage from Seattle to Skagway. But the Inside passage has one disadvan- tage-the mountains are too far away to be seen to the best ad- vantage from the deck of an ocean going vessel. But when one is skimming along the Stik- inc on the scientifically construc- ted river boat, Hazel B III, he is on speaking terms with moun- tains and glaciers. None of the detail is lost through the haze of distance. The river itself winds like a mountain trail through narrow gorges and around the bases of peaks whose summits are clad in snows eter- nal. The various peaks become familiar in their general appear ance, but are never seen just the same twice, and are always pleasing to the eye. In the morningssthey are kissed by the first beams of the rising sun, and the beholder is charmed at the wonderful dissolving views, as the early rays play about their summits. At another time they stand out in beautiful outlines against the deep blue sky form ing an ensemble of transcendent beauty. An hour later the out lines may be lost by a consider able portion of the peaks becom- ing enthroned in clouds.
 Another interesting feature of the trip up the Stikine is the fact that the region along the river is the habitat of animal species that millions of people have never seen outside of a menagerie. A moose swimming the stream in front of a boat is not an uncommon sight. Wild sheep and goats within easy shooting distance are to be seen from the cliffs on every trip. Bear are also much in evidence. We saw three bear within a short distance which were strolling about unmindful of the passing boat. One of the passengers, up- on observing a bear almost as big as a COW near the shore said that the Hazel B III ought to have a machine gun mounted on the bow to protect itself in case of an attack.
 Arriving at Telegraph Creek one finds a we'll kept town with. out one single house that shows the least sign of dilapidation. The people are all hospitality, so much so that the visitor does not think of himself as being among strangers.
 Telegraph Creek is headquar- ters for a chain of Indian trading posts. Many thousands of dollars worth of furs are shipped from this point annually. Ranching is

The green fields of oats with the moving machines in opera ton, and the farm house on the farther side, all looked like beautiful painting with the rug ged walls of mountains on both sides as an appropriate framing. Upon our arrival at the ranch we were greeted by Mr. Mcdonald, the foreman in charge, who ex- tended us a welcome. This farm house in the far north is not un- like those of our Southern states. There are barns, haystacks, hor- ses, cows, hogs, geese, ducks, chickens, cats, dogs, wash tubs, and clothes lines. A more ideal ranch one could not wish to see. Much of the produce from this ranch is marketed at Telegraph Creek.
 We also visited the ranch of Frank Jackson, near the river, forty miles this side of relegl aph Creek. The ranch house is To- cated in one of the prettiest spots in the valley, and is almost hid- den in the foliage of the large trees by which it is surrol n led. It is built of logs and it's archi- lecture is such that it looks more like part of the surrounding scenery than an encroachment upon nature. Mir. and Mrs. Jack son invited us to dinner. And such a dinner! Wild goat, the choicest meat the north affords, was the basis of the meal. but there were plenty of trimmings such as freshly picked wild rasp- berries with cream. Truly it may be said that the ranchers of the Stikine have constantly on their menu, dishes that would be con- sidered the rarest luxury any, where in the States.
 Within hailing distance of the Jackson ranch house was tent where Mrs. Parsons, Miss Hy- land and Miss Hankin were spending the week camping. In the forests of the Stikine valley the harmony of foliage and rocks and natural magnificence is so conducive to eternal quietude that it lures one to camp life, and there are so many mountain springs that almost any place is ideal for camping.
 The people of Telegraph Creek may not all agree on questions of politics or religion, but there is one thing on which they stand as a unit. They all swear by the Hazel B III. They look upon Captain Sid Harrington as a pub lie benefactor. One business man said to us, You cannot now how much it means to us to have reliable boat service between Wrangell and Telegraph Creek with schedule that is maintained perfectly and may be absolutely depended upon.' When the Hazel B III is in port at Telegraph Creek nothing is too good for its officers and crew.
 The weather was ideal every day that we were away, and we did not encounter a gnat or a mosquito on the whole trip.
 The running time from Wran- gell to Telegraph Creek was "A hours and 56 minutes. The river was very low and no special ef- fort was made to hurry the boat along. With more water in the river the trip could easily be made in less than "A hours run- ming time. The return voyage re- quires less than half the time of the trip going.
 We acknowledge special cour- tesies extended by the following persons: Hon. H. w. Dodd, Mrs. Winifred Hyland. MT. J. Frank Calhraath Mir McDonaId Mr.
