The Wrangell sentinel. (Wrangell, Alaska) 1909-current, 1941-06-06

we Travelled through scenery which
left US so awed and overwhelmed
that we had no more "Oh's' or
Abs" with which to express our
selves. Surely. those Canadians can
be proud of their western. wild
country and one couldn't help but
think that If only dictators and
such who spend their time eontem-
plating wars and suffering could
but take such a trip and eontem-
pIete the unlimited beauties of ma
ture there would be less strife and
misunderstanding.
Mock Wedding
The climax of the trip came the

bride, with a lovely green mosqui-

donned breaches and made a mus

bower on top deck, by a rope around
his (her) neck. Wedding music was
rendered by Jack Wilson on his ae-

A reception followed, With real
cake and coffee served in the Salon,
and everyone went to bed that night
sure they couldn't have another
breath of laughter left in them. It
does a body good to be ridiculous
once in a while
Telegraph
We arrived in Telegraph Sunday
morning, and here reverted to his
torizing" once more. Telegraph
where in 1866-67 the Western I'M
ion Telegraph line crossed the Sti-I
kline in the historic race of that
company to beat the laying of the
Atlantic cable by stringing a wire
from the L. S. to Europe via Alaska
and Siberia is a Hudson's Bay
Trading Post One goes back so
years when they step on its dusty
river shore. Here, the Indians are
non-treaty and live much as they
did in 1874 when the Hudson's Bay
Company put their first permanet
station there A visit to the Indian
cemetery, a ride on one of George
Balls horses. or just wandering a
round town watching the tons of
freight start their long trek over

time spent there entirely too short.
All in all, one could go on for
ever writing about a trip up the
Stikine but editors are fussy ere

never seem to give a reporter

It's Great Stuff
But, if you're looking for a place
to go to forget work, worry or
war; if you want to see the grand

the rest of your life. livened with
just the right amount of fun hop
aboard one of Barrington's Hazel
BIS and go up the Stikine. See AL
aska-Canada first. There's no trou-I
BILE crossing the boundary, its all
taken care of by Purser Oar Smith,
(who doesn't even ask your age)
and you'll come back to the old
grind-tired? Yes, but restfully
