Blazing Northern Trails RECONNAISSANCE OF THE YUKON RIVER, CHARLES P.
 RAYMOND, CAPTAIN OF EN GlNEERs IN 1869.
Continued from yesterday).

On September 12, at about D. m., sudden turn brought us to Halls rapids. A strong breeze blowing against the current made this portion of the river very rough. Suddenly, and almost without notice, our boat was swept into the rapids and it was only by great exertions that we were able to reach the shore in safety. This last trial was almost too much for the Eclipse. She was now, very nearly wreck. Nevertheless, not being in a condition to choose, we re-embarked early the next morning, one man bal ing and the two others at the oars, and swiftly passing the rapids worked our way slowly down the river.
 At 4 p. m. we pulled the Eclipse, now thoroughly useless, upon the shore near Anvic. At Anvic we found MT. John Clark in charge of the sta tion, and also our old friend John God frey and Robert Bird, the trappers. We endeavored to obtain here one of the large native seal-skin boats, called "badarras," and some Indians; but the season was so. far advanced that the natives were afraid to attempt the journey down the river and along the coast, state of affairs which gave us not little anxiety. On questioning the old chief of the village, however, I ascertained that the Indians are ac- customed occasionally, iu the summer to ascend the Anvic river (which, at sdme distance from the Yukon, makes point near it's head waters, and cross

KARSTENS ABBEY ARRIVE
 M'KINLEY PARK

Harry P. Karstens, wellknown old timer of interior Alaska, who recen- ly received from Secretary of the Interior Fall an appointment as sup. erintendent of Mount Mckinley National Park, in company with Woodbury Abbey, cadastral engineer, are now upon the ground at Ameri- cas- largest park to begin the prelim- mary work of putting this scenic spot in shape for visitors. MT. Kars- tens has the authority to select his assistants who will act as rangers and wardens, and will see to it that the laws are properly observed. For the present, he will be assisted by one man, experienced in the admin istration work of the National Park Service, and it is the intention of the superintendent to fill vacancies in the park ranger service later on. Appointments, however, will not take place for some considerable time.
 Superintendent Karstens has had wide experience in outdoor life in the north'and and is very thoroughly familiar with the country in and around Mount Mckinley, much of which is within the limits of the National Park. He first went into that region some years ago with the late Archdeacon Hudson Stuck and later spent considerable time there with a hunting party of young millionaires from New York. He was one of the principal members of the party when the asccent of Mount Mckinley was made. He is there- fore, eminently fitted to fill the po- sition to which he has been appoint ed by the secretary of the interior.
 With a view to making the park easily accessible and attractive to tourists and lovers of nature gener- ally, in the shortest possible time, MT. karstens will immediately tra- verse the great reservation carefully for the purpose of selecting and rec ommending route over which the National Park Service will build q road to serve as the main artery of travel within the park limits, and ytvhi in1 %ro the many points of scenic attraction situated deeper in the range.
 The Mount Mckinley National Park will be conducted along lines similar to those in force in the ad- mlnistration of the Yellowstone and other National Parks in the states and, in. addition will be game sanctuary The limits of the park contain the natural habitat and feeding grounds of the vast herds of caribou, mountain sheep and moose whose very existence was threatened with the completion of the govern lnent railroad. which will render their faunts easily accessible to market hunters and wanton slaughterers of game. The law goes into effect inn mediately and a proper observance of it will be backed up by Superin. tendent Karstens and his assistants that perpetuation of these beautiful and useful game animals for the enjoyment of future generations will now be made possible.

point near it's head waters, and cross
 by tolerable portage to the native village of Ikikiktoik, situated on Nor ton sound, about IS miles north of St. Michael island. But we found that an ascent of the river would prove i'm
 practicable so late in the season; and MT. Clark, being a newcomer to this
 part of the country, was unable to ad- ! wise me, although he promptly volun- teered to accompany me if should de- eide to make the attempt. This being apparently the only avenue of escape,
 l did not hesitate long. Mr. Clark went
 energetically to work, and in a few
 hours had procured six birch-bark ca.
 noes and a sufficient number of h.
 dians.
 At p. m. on the 14th we left Anvic. 1 Our journey up the river was extreme 1 ly slow. We were obliged to pole the
 canoe all the way, on account of the shallowness of the water and the great 1 rapidity of the current. We were somewhat delayed by frequent injuries | to our boats; but the birch-bark canoe
 is easily and quickly repaired. Our
 Indians, not fancying hard work, were I often quite anxious to leave our ser | vice, in most cases taking an informal
 departure during the night; but we managed to keep our force pretty we'll recruited by system of mild con-
 scription on the native villages along the river
 On the evening of the 14th we made
 an unpleasant discovery. The larger
 portion of our provisions, which we
 supposed safely packed in one of the canoes, had been left behind An In dian was immediately sent back to Anvic, with a note from MT. Clark, di-
 recting Bird to send us supplies for five days. Our messenger overlook us on the evening of the next day. He
 brough note from Bird, saying that he could not make out MT. Clark's | "handwrite' but he presumed we
 wanted something to eat. The provi- sions accompanying this epistle con- sisted of about sufficient hardteck for a single meal, which we proceeded to eat upon the spot, making up our minds to live upon the country there after. Fortunately we had plenty of tea.
 On the. evening of the 18th we ar- rived at a large village. We were re- ceived with great kindness by the chief, and comfortable installed in the best house, which he vacated for our accommodation. He informed us that, on account of the shallowness of the river, it would be impossible for us to reach the portage by water. We were determined however, to go on as far as possible. We made a hearty meal on fish, seasoned with gunpowder, and spent very comfortable night at the village.
 On the next morning, having ex- ] changed our canoes for large skin
 "badarra," drawing somewhat less water, we resumed our journey. The
 chief accompanied us at his own de-
 sire. Previously we had had consid-
 erable rain, but on this day the wealth CT was delightful. We worked our way along very slowly until night, the
 water becoming more and more shal-
 low. At dark we went into camp, and an examination of the river from the shore proved further progress by boat impossible
 We were now about 50 miles from
 the rivers mouth, and probably 20 miles from the portage, and we had to
 choose between the two courses. We could easily return to Anvic and win

RAW FURS WANTED
Alliance, Neb., July 16, 1920.

Wel Bros. & Co.,, Ft. Wayne, Ind.
 Gentlemen: It may surprise you to know that the 1OO rats that l shipped you, and for which you paid me $20000, that these rats were shipped to one of the most prominent fur houses in the United States at Chicago and they offered 50 cents apiece for them They were ordered to be returned, and were returned to Nebraska. I thought it was right to tell you this, because where one firm pays 300 per cent more for an article than another firm in the same line of busi- ness and that one firm claiming to be one of the largest houses in the United States You are quite right in calling yourselves THE OLD SQUARE DEAL FUR HOUSE Of Fort Wayne, as you certainly do give a square deal have not only received a square deal on this shipment but on a great many other shipments.
 If anyone doubts this statement they can write to me for confirmation, enclosing postage, and will affirm it.
 With my kindest personal regards, re- main. Yours truly

BANK OF ALASKA Wrangell, Alaska,
 April 2S. 1920

A. M. White Company,
 Juneau, Alaska. Dear Sirs:
 Referring ta our letter of the 2ist inst, itF is true that We shipped about s3O,0O0.OO furs through the bank to Well Bros. this season.
 The principal reason we shipped this amount to them was because they handled our business satisfactorily and paid a fair price for the goods We did receive WeH cfrcu- lar and you deserve credit for this. However, we shipped to several other houses which did not mail us any advertising matter. The reason Weir got the big end of our business was because he treated us right.
 Yours very truly,
