Alaska's glacier systems are the most extetuilve and remarkable In the world Above Is a picture of
a tidewater glacier about a hundred miles west of Skagway. On the south slope of St. Klias rang* of
mountains this glacier comes down for miles, gradually creeping down the gorge pushing huge iceberg* In
to Yakutat bay. There are numerous glaciers with terminals In this bay. Here the coast hills are pre
ciptltous with entwining fjords that surpass the splendor of the Norwegian headlands.

"Old age is not gray hairs, but a
blameless life. The life of all men
end the same--et tuortuis est ? and
he died."
? This was the thetne of the ser
mon preached by Father Brown at
the burial of Dan Kennedy, solemn
izing the dentise of the pioneer with
the marvelous ritual of the Church
of Rome.
Accompanied by the Alaska Pion
eers, the pall bearers, William Har
ris, Tom Ash by, H. Sakaloff, Mike
Donaher. Alexander Atkinson and
E. J. Margrie, bore to the church,
where services began at 2, all that
was mortal of him who for more
than a quarter of a century had
taken so prominent a purl In the
public life of the community.
At the conclusion of the last
prayer, the Pioneers, under the di
rection of Sam Kohn as marshal,
following the flag borne by J. P.
Morgan, led the funeral cortege to
the last resting place of Dan Ken
nedy In the city cemetery, while
the fire bells were tolled. After
the ceremonies at the grave, the
saddened Alaska Pioneers took up
the march back to the city, still
following the flag, their depleting
ranks the thinner for the loss of an
other comrade who had borne more
than his share of the hardships in
side to the taming of the wilder
ness
For the hour set aside for the
burial every business house in the
city was voluntarily closed, in trib
ute to the memory of the dead. ?
