Reporter Reveals PeculiaritieS
 Famed Stikine River Excursion

|
 The night we tied up at Ground hog Jackson's" Captain Sid felt eX- pansive and took a drink for what he said was the first time in 30 years Be that as it may, he fell to telling stories of the good old days in the Klondike and Nome. It all started by him hooting at a columnist who related that Sid had taken the stern-wheel steamer Cliff ford Sifton" through Miles Canyon and the Whitehorse rapids at the speed of a mile a minute.
 "The Clifford Sifton was 155 feet long," said Sid, and I tied bales of hay around her for buffers. Didn't need them, however, and they wouldn't have done a bit of good, anyway, if we hit the side of Miles Canyon. She looked like a woman going to a fancy dress party. We made it without mishap. She was built at Lake LaBarge and the own CTS wanted to use her on the Daw- son run"
 Sid thrashed around a bit. Pushed high stool over and somehow man. aged to have one leg and foot in the stool and the other twisted in the steering wheel His shoulders were resting somehow on the seat.
 Did any steamboat pilot ever go to sleep at the wheel?' l wanted to know.
 Captain Harvey Alexander of the steamer Casca-the Casca used to run on this river, by the way AL fexander went to sleep at the wheel and rammed the rock bluff on the righthand side of LaBarge. He was going full speed and went right out through the pilothouse window"
 This night reminds me of one when our musicians were playing their music around fire so big the flames and moonbeams met. The moon light was bright and bears came toward the music" He looked at me and grinned. Honest. One was so fascinated by Earl and Mary's playing-and Ken's singing-that 1t lay down close by and turned its |
 head to listen."
 Coming downstream was the most exciting and thrilling; we literally dipped along. Gongs rang and bells | jingled. At Hudson's Bay Flats and 'Whirlagig Bend" we lodged and twisted our way through snags so close together they seem to form an impossible barrier to navigation. It is in places like these that Captain Sid shows his genius as river pilot
 As we approached the mouth of the river the tide was none to high I remembered the twisting channel across the flats as I had seen it al low tide from the air several weeks before.
 Quarter less three-two and g half" And Sid swore heartily.
 Just ahead of us were some gill net boats with their nets stretched everywhere-a perfect maze.
 "Get two oars and push the net down as we go over her." he yelled "Now run along with it. Hold il down." Then he yelled to the fish erman in the little boat at the ent of the net. Don't worry, old man I we won't hurt your net" X That is Captain sid Capahlst

The water in the Stikine was so low that Teddy and Earl were con stantly sounding" with the poles All the time bells rang furiously giy- ing orders to the engine room. The water was swift and in some places there were real rapids.
