Robert S. Fuller, the sculptor, and Richard Slobodin, the anthro- pologist, left New York May 1938. Their route led up the Hud- son River, through the Erie Can- al, across the Great Lakes, through Winnipeg and Edmonton by Can- ada’s connecting rivers and lakes, and down the Athabaska, Slave| and MacKenzie Rivers to spend the winter at the delta. In May they started again, up the Rat River to the divide at the backbone of the Rockies and down the Bell River on the Yukon side. High point of the entire trip, Ful- ler says, was their race up the Rat River during the breakup to reach McDougal Pass before high water would fill the canyon and cut off transportation for six weeks. By sliding the canoe up over the Rat River ice for a 30-hour stretch without resting they reached the forks just in time. Down the Bell River and on the Porcupine to Fort Yukon they guided their craft. At Fort Yukon they sold the canoe, took a river boat to Fairbanks and came out by way of the Richardson Highway and Valdez. They reached Juneau Sunday night on the Columbia. Fuller admits they didn't make quite the whole trip in or under the canoe. They loaded it on a steamer to cross the Great Lakes and used a railroad for a short| MARIE DIMOND RETURNS SOUTH Miss Marie Dimond, daughter of Alaska Delegate Anthony J.

During the popular young woman’s stay in Alaska this sum- mer, she was feted by numerous friends‘enjoying her companionship for the first time in the seven years since Miss Dimond moved south. ‘| CHARLOTTE HAS MANY TOURISTS With beautiful weather this af- ternoon, 190 round trippers on the steamer Princess Charlotte crowd- ed busses and taxicabs to see Men- denhall Glacier and other sights of the Juneau area. ‘There were 230 passengers aboard the Charlotte on her arrival here.
