VANCE) In the heat of midsummer here- abouts it may be a pleasure to read of Alaskan excursions so that one may cool off, at least mentally, in the pictures of snowfields on the wmountain tops, deep light-green tinted masses which have been there endlessly and from which the wind vsually “sets” into the low. The wind is none too warm hen a hunter or a tisherman has in fact it chills to the physical activity has valleys be- er climbing +1dom walks naturally in Al Ka; over the clds or along the valleys the sun is often unpleas- antly bright and warm. One gets a combination of deep snow which starts the perspiration e But when a stop is made an extra coat must be donned at once the chill is not casily endured. As a rule the warn the day stronger the wind from the fields into the valleys, Practically every gorge hus a strong, cold wind blowing from its mouth, whatever the direction of the on the ontside, Cold air naturally trave downward and, in doing so, creates wind. The native Alaskan believes in heavy clothes, even in the sum- mer time, on the theory that an &ir cushion is formed between two woolen girments. forming an insula- tion for the body from either heat or cold If you are sufficiently chilled we shall progress to the business in hand, steelhvad trout fishing with a tew side remarks on the island and town of Kodiak.
