The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-08-12
(By P. F. GILMORE)

MI h. anu Mrs. Lew ooy oe' oi A' Indiana, who have been tour the Pacific Coast in search of home, decided to make a trip to Alaska before deciding the fu- ture. They boarded the steamer City of Seattle at the Puget Sound metropolis with Wrangell as their goal, having heard of the won- derful opportunities that the city and country adjacent offered. "The first thing for us to do,' said Lew, is to look the city over and visit every business house."
 ''No," said Nell, q was talk ing to Jerry Calvin a few mo- ments ago and he spoke of the trip up the Stikine river, and as we want to see the beautiful scenery there, which must be wonderful, we will make this trip first"
 So Lew and Nell at once began to lay plans for the trip and hav- ing heard that Sid Burlington, in charge of Hazel B. would start in the morning, they lost no time in preparing for the trip and early morn found the happy couple seated on the deck eagerly wait ing for the boat to start.
 "At the mouth of the river" :" said Sid Harrington, "are the garnet beds, which are clipped out of the rocks and sold to the tourists who enter Wrangell. The next point of interest is the Popof Glacier; the next is the Knyg Glacier" Now" said Sid to the newly-weds, 'this is the Big Gla- cier; this glacier is four miles wide and 80 miles long and the height about 100 feet above the waters edge. The next is Mud Glacier. Looking at a distance you see Bailey Rash Glacier, and the scenery up that creek to the glacier is very beautiful; you should make this trip at some future time. Now we come to the canyon, which is one and a half miles long, and the range of mountains you see are the Saw tooth Mountains. The rocks over there are called the Two Brothers and the Two Sisters Rocks. We are at Glenora now and after a nine mile trip we will arrive at Telegraph Creek where we will spend the night, leaving tomor- row afternoon on the return trip"
 Having returned from the Stik- inc River trip, Nell was overjoyed at the beautiful scenery, and Lew was dumfounded, saying, Tt is impossible for me to describe the grandeur of the trip. 1 have travelled all over the world, even through the Alps, and this trip has them all beat"
 Although tired from the trip up the Stikine River Lew and Nell started to make a tour of the city, having decided to make Wrangell thelr future home.
 The general merchandise store of F. Matheson was the first store entered and William Patterson, manager of this large store, greeted the couple and escorted them through the different de- partments. "Nell," said Lew, ''this is certainly a mammoth business house and their courtesy is above the average. "Yes, ," she replied, "and l am going to order one of those ready-made dresses right now, and while lam busy, order some groceries, as we will go to housekeeping very soon."
 ''Well," said Nell, i've must go in and see Jack Worden in the Post Office building. He is the one that the captain on the boat told us about as having fine col lection of views of Stikine River scenery and of Wrangell. '"
 We must go in and see Charles Benjamin, dealer in general mer- chandise. He also carries fisher mems s,1nnlies and vOu know
