•country, was not merely vacation
mg. CaTtoons appearing this
month in the Portland Oregonian
are proof of that, for they axe
labeled “Drawn in Alaska, July,
1937.”
One cartoon shows "A.B.” Moun
tain at Skagway, a drawing of
■Capt. George Vancouver, who
surveyed the Pacific Coast from
Vancouver to Cook Inlet, 2000
miles, in such excellent fashion
that his charts made 14 deades
ago are still used; and canned
meat which was left in the Arc
tic 77 years ago and was found
to be still good.
The other cartoon contains this
•astonishing revelation regarding
Professor Brewer and Alaska’s
■“ice supply”. In an explanation,
Pipley says;
“Professor William H. Brewer
(1828-1910, head of the agricul
tural department of Yale univer
sity. is the man who convinced
Secretary Seward of the desira
bility of Alaska as a source of ice
for the entire Pacific coast.
Seward was sold on the idea,;
although he smiled when Profes-1
sor Brewer suggested that Amer
icans might eventually be indue-[
ed to go to Alaska to admire the
scenery. But President Johnson
was still to be won over.
It so happened that the presi-'
dent came to New Haven in 1866.
to visit Yale College. Professor
Brewer was assigned as his es- i
cort, and it was in this capacity
that the professor took the chief
executive aside and "sold” him >
on Alaska, which was acquired
the following year for $7,200,000.
Alaska has since yielded more
than $2,000.000,000,of which gold,
silver and copper alone account.
for $700,000,000.
Also featured in the same car- j
toon is Tagish Charlie, the Yu-j
kon Indian “who discovered the
gold of the Klondyke August 16,1
1896. and started the great gold
rush that produced $400,000,000 ,
worth of gold. In explanation,'
Ripley adds: “Tagish Charlie'
was rewarded for his discovery
in a peculiar manner. At his own1
request, he was given the right,
to walk into any saloon and buy
a drink whenever he wanted. The
sale of drinks to Indians was for- 5

tus, conferred on him by the]
Canadian government, pleased
Charlie more than any other re
gard he could think of.
There is also a drawing of the
“famous Copper River, Cordova,
Alaska,—runs both ways.”
In explaining A. B. Mountain,
Ripley notes: “This mountain in
Skagway is so called because of
the letters A. B. which are form
ed by natural clefts filled with
snow. The letters led to the founj
Jation of the Arctic Brotherhood,
society, by Captain William Con-'
nel of the steamship “City of Se-1
ittle”, while lying in the harbor]
3f Skagway in 1899. Its purpose,
A’as the brotherhood of Ameri-;
vans and Britons, and today thereI
s a branch of the Arctic Brother1
rood in every place of any size
n Alaska.”
Regarding Vancouver, he adds:
‘Captain Geo. Vancouver (1757- ^
1798), charted the entire difficult,
passage between Vancouver and
Cook Inlet, through a perfect
■naze of islands, sunken rocks &
3ther handicaps to navigation,
luring his expedition as master
3f the “Discovery” between 1791
ind 1795. The job was done so
serfect, that after 14 decades na
vigators on modern ships making
his passage still use the charts
executed by Captain Vancouver.”,
