Marius Pass DISCOVERED
By Stevens SO Years Ago

down east in Maine, who had jumped
from an assistant city engineer in
Minneapolis to an ace boss in the con-
struction of the Duluth-Sault Ste
Marie railroad.
stevens could look at a wilderness
railroad could go there, just where
it should go and how much it would
cost to build it: he knew frontier life
and the Indians; above all, he was
familiar with the Blackfeet Indian
legend that there was a hidden pass
in the northern Montana Rockies.
Flatheads Were Willing
He discovered the Blackfeet legend
had always remained a legend because
they had been afraid to investigate:
they feared the strange gods that dwelt
in the mountains. When Stevens went
to the Blackfeet. they refused to go
with him. He finally found a member
of the Flathead tribe who was willing
to take a chance. Together they sailed
forth against the great walls of the
Rockies.
They found a pass and started into
it. 1t came to an abrupt end. 1t was
a false pass that simply curved around
and brought them abruptly up against
the forbidding eastern slope of the
mountains again.
They went back and started once
more They found a more promising
pass and followed it, only to be be-
trayed again.
A third time they went back and
began the low climb over huge boul-
ders. around blockading cliffs, through
gulches and icy streams, in the con-
slant unspoken fear they were deluded
again.
Then the jealous spirits of the
mountains. having failed with all their
typographical terrors to daunt the pio-
neer pair, loosed on them the savage
forces of high-Rocky weather.
1t clouded, winds shrilled. temper
ature plunged, a blizzard enveloped
them. They weathered the night but

The discovery of Marias pass through
the Rocky mountains by John r
Stevens on a wintry day. Dec. II, 1889
forms the subject of an interesting
Associated Press story written by Glad
win Hill of the New York A. P. staff
of the event he describes.
Hills article follows:
Through a bowling gale and waist
deep drifts Of snow, the enjoyed. Jut-
jawed young man and his Indian guide
forged on
1t was so years ago. The wind, bat
tering away at the peaks OF the north
ern Montana Rockies, drove the tenn
perature down to 40 below but the two
pressed ahead.
When they finally stopped for the
night, the Indian muttered ominously
to himself and shook his head; when
dawn lifted the curtain of blackness
from the peaks. he looked up at them
in awe and groaned, Me SICK
The young man said nothing, only
set his jaw even firmer. He had eX-
pected this. But he was determined to
20 on, somehow. Perhaps, something
told him. subconsciously, he was on the
verge of a great discovery;
Amid the pangs and tortures OF plo-
neering. a modern nation was being
born. Railroads were pushing their
great steel arteries across the continent
to make the America Of today.
"Jim" Hills Idea
And back in St. Paul, James j. Hill
of the Great Northern railway-the
empire builder"-had conceived OF
pushing his line straight across through
the Rockies to the Pacific to open a
trade route from the Great lakes to
the orient.
He had set his iron will on a project
that had been insurmountable for Sc
years, Before the Civil war, the gov
eminent surveyed possible routes
through the towering Rockies and
found the only feasible place to pene-
trate that timeless barricade was be-
tween Helena and Butte, "detour'
far to the south.
For the job was selected a young
engineer named John F.. Stevens from

PATTERN 926

Even miniature fashion backs the
hustle bow this season! See how be-
witchingly Claire Tilden has carried
out the idea in this little-girl frock,

the center front Of the dress from be-
meath the collar, and curves into a
button-trimmed waistband that goes
around to tie saucily behind. A novel,
enchanting treatment! The top
sleeves. collar and all-looks adorable
made in gayly printed contrast. with
panel and skirt in monotone. There's
back buttoning from neck TO waist

the bias for nice lines. The sleeves may
be short or long and full, with trim
fitting wristbands. And here's a tip:

:. It is very important to distin- guish between a lode and a pla- cer deposit. If a deposit is lode, it should be staked as a lode claim; If it is placer, it should be staked as a placer claim. If both a lode and a placer deposit are found in the same area, it should be located as both placer and a lode claim.

 get the government to build and maintain a floating dock large enough, say about two thousand feet long and two hundred fifty feet wide and I'll lighter your goods ashore and deliver it to your front door for ten dollars a ton. I'll wager it wouldn't cost them any more to maintain the floating dock than it does to main tain our so-called revetment and harbor.
 That one sounds like a fairy tale, but just the same it can be done. but wait, here's better one. Last summer l inquired about freighting from Nome to Cape Nome via truck and could get price of four dollars per ton. There is plenty of money in any one of those businesses, say Merchant Lighterage and Steam ship transportation to come down to a reasonable profit and give the Citizens of Nome break. We'll, you'll never get it without kicking up a rumpus and kicking hard and long enough.
 I would like to see all the public spirited people of Nome get together, say through joining the local Chamber of Commerce and speak their mind and give us some ideas to yell for.
 By the way, this is no sales talk to get you to join the Cham Der of Commerce. It is one way have of finding out your sheer ity of backing me up. l have been on the Board of Directors for two years now just taking it all in and seeing what can and cannot be done. l haven't had much to say as 1 have been wait ing for an opportune moment, which I think is here now.
 Now I ask, if all you citizens who read this and believe what I have told you, will show it to your neighbors and talk it over with them, will stop and dig down in your pocket and find five dollars for a regular citizen, ten dollars for professional man, and twenty-five dollars for a Corporation for one years dues and turn it in to the Secretary between now and Tuesday. Then come to the North Pole Bakery for luncheon from noon until one o'clock If the back room isn't large enough, we will have the whole front part reserved also.
 The only way that I can see that anything can be done is to have every citizen of legal age join the Chamber of Commerce and force us to have our lunch cons at dinner time instead so that we can take more time for our speeches. Therefore, we would then have to hold them in the Odd Fellows Hall to accomo date you.
 Being Chairman for this next luncheon, I think for an added attraction I can induce the Cham Der of Commerce 10 present a guest ticket for the luncheon to each newly paid in member be- tween now and Tuesday.
 1 thank you.

Communication

ing article written by H. G. Mill Ter, an employee of the Wien AL aska Airlines, was presented to The Nugget with request that it be published, and his views be made known. He stated he would like an opportunity to make public statement concern ing some of his ideas, and here they are:"
 To The Editor
 And Citizens of Nome
 On behalf of the Citizens of Nome, I am writing this little article. Having been connected with the City Council and the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce for the past two years, it behooveS me to realize to what extent the people strain themselves to live pleasant and economical life. They, or maybe I should say we, have very tough problem confronting us in order to make what they say Both ends meet"
 After listening to a majority of the Women's Club speakers at the last Chamber of Commerce luncheon, 1 regret to say that not one mentioned the high cost of living here in Nome and what could be done about it. 1t is a nice thing to try to beautify your city and your homes and have sanitary and healthy condi- tions here, but how are you go- ing to do it with everybody kept broke trying to pay their fuel and grocery bills. In other words if the cost of living wasn't so high, the citizens could afford to spend more around their homes 10 beautify them as well as the City.
 We'll, that leads US to the mer- chant Quite a number of people have mentioned to me that the merchant is charging outrageous prices for his goods. All right, let's go to the Merchant and see what he has to say: "Oh, certain ly, l can sell for less if it was not for the exorbitant high rates of lighterage and freight to land the merchandise here"
 From there we go to the light craze Company and they say, We cannot maintain our equip ment and warehouses unless we get an excessive rate for lighter ing, having to pay such high freight rates on oil and gas and machinery and parts for our equipment. And now to the Steamship Company. They say, You get us a dock in Nome to which we can tie up to and un- load on schedule and we can give you cheaper freight rates. I"
 Now, another thing, folks, do you realize that it costs only one dollar per ton more to shp goods from Seattle to Teller. Deering and Kotzebue road steads than from Seattle to Nome And also during the summer months, goods are landed in the Kougarok mining camps cheaper Vla Deering than they can be pur chased here in Nome. There is something radically wrong some where.
 In the first place, do you real lze you are paying practically air plane express rates from ship to
