That was the Alaska of the gold There never has been never will be anything P(VI many i was a ‘.a':rx !’I into te ment, for (lw few it became conda. It yielded fortunes for lucky ones out in spite of gr ruthlessness its richest ireasures main untouched. Men still wash its gravels, siam) mills thunder, trappers tead uheir Lroand fist 'n by the thousanc turn its silver salmon into gold ‘To the traveler in quest of healih, 1elaxation, sport of adventure, it remains a Sinbad’s’ Cavern which never can be robbed. Once a Vast Country It used to be an incredibly vast country, its secrets were grimly | guarded, every purple valley was a pathway to the unknown and peril | walked with those who followed them. But its distances have shrunk, it is no longer remote, its trackless | wilds can be crossed in a matter of | minutes or hours and its impassable mountain barriers have become a mere spectacle to look down upon.' On wings the modern traveler soars | to the inaccessible. Scenically it is a land of match- less grandeur. A maze of mountain- ous islands fringes much of its| coast line. Here yachtsmen may | cruise for weeks in land-locked se- | curity amid a tranquility broken only by the rush of leaping water- falls, the plaintive cry of gulls or the sullen rumble of some distant' __ glacier. Bottomless fjords, like cre- vices rent by volcanic force, lead | back into the very heart of the stately coast range, a region of per- petual snow. Salmon follow the tides—Huge, hungry fish that will take a fly or strike savagely at anything which glitters. Over the bait schools upon | which they prey. whirl blizzards of wereaming sea birds, and here an| angler without rod or reel is likely | to go mad. 1 Fisherman's Paradise Every clear water stream, every| mountain _lake . boils- with trout Game is plentiful.

The vast interior with its rainbow trout and grayling streams, its moose ponds and its herd of caribou is accessible now. To travel the sky- | way that leads to this vacation land is an experience man will never for- | get. The flight from Juneau to White- horse, for instance, is undoubtedly the most spectacular, the most thrilling on this hemisphere for it b | leads over a wilderness of hidden valleys and precipitous peaks amid which lie writhing glaciers of stu- pendous size and breath-taking It crosses the dazzling ice prehistoric rivers. Cruising above them one can look west for a hun- dred miles over a tumbling chaos to the lofty splendor of Mount St. Elias and east for an equal dis- tance across the very ridge pole of the continent. ‘The romance, the beauty, the gran- || deur is still there but the hardship Alaska is an open, friendly country now and it beckons to you.
