i ENTHUSED OVER
TRIP IN WINTER
THRU ALASKA
Miss Wilson, who passed through
Cordova on a trip through the Interior
over the winter trail, reached Nome
in company with that famous musher,
Leonard Seppala, behind one of the
fastest dog teams in Alaska, is enthusi
astic over her experience. Miss Wil
son came from Mexico, where she was
formerly secretary to the American
consul general, and she describes her
northland experience as the most
pleasant period of her career.
“I have enjoyed every moment of it,”
she exclaimed enthusiastically when
asked as to her impressions of the long
journey across Alaska in the heart of
the Arctic winter. “Hardships? I
have seen none,” she declared. “I
came to see Alaska w'hen it was
‘really’ Alaska. And I have seen it,”
she added after a pause.
“But, have you not chosen a rather
unfortunate time to see the land at
its best? You have witnessed only its
harsh, forbidding side; when Nature
is cruel, relentless—at her very
worst,” asked the reporter.
“Not at all. It is grand in the win
ter.”
“But, while you have perhaps seen
the bigness, the broadness, the ma
jestic side of it, would it not have left
a more pleasant impression to have
visited us in the summer, when Nature
is smiling and the wide snow wastes
have yielded to bright blossoms and
the green of growing things?”
“Flowers, grass, trees! I can see
them anywhere! No; I wanted to see
Alaska when it was not like other
places. So I came in winter and I am
pleased to say that I have never en
joyed an experience so much in my
life. I like Alaska and its people. And
I like Nome immensely and really
wish that I could stay here to see the
ice go out in spring and become a real
sourdough.” And her bright grey
brown eyes sparkled enthusiastically
as she spoke.
“It is rumored, Miss Wilson, that
you are a writer in search of local
color and that is your object dn brav
ing the rigors of Arctic winter and
■ the hazards of travel over the winter
trail.”
The petite young woman laughed
mirthfully before replying. “Why, the
idea! No; I’m not guilty. I am here
t/v ooo AloeVo o n rl iinnrAVD
my health, which was not very good
for some time before I left Mexico.”
Miss Wilson was decidedly reticent
concerning herself and admitted that
she was a “little afraid” of reporters;
just why she didn’t know. “I have
been told they will strip you* of your
fondest secrets if one gives them half
. a chance. Though I have nothing to
conceal. And I like them, too, the
reporters. I think they are so bright—
and I like to hear them talk rather
than talk to them about myself.”
After delivering this .eulogium re
garding the news hunting fraternity,
Miss Wilson said she is a professional
nurse by occupation and has resided
in Mexico City for twelve years. Dur
ing a large part of this period she was
in charge of a hospital institution in
Mexico.City.
Imbued with the idea of visiting
Alaska in the dead of winter, she left
the Mexican capital in November and
arrived in Seattle early in January.
“I did not come straight through
because of the great change of climate.
I came north by easy stages, stopping
here and there en route, but never de
viating in a great degree from the
direct route.,
“After staying a short while in Seat
tle I sailed for Cordova via the inside
passage and saw the wonderful coast
of British Columbia and Southern
Alaska. It was wonderfully beautiful
. f
with its woods and peaks and gla
ciers.”
On reaching Cordova, she said, she
expected to enter the “real wilder
ness,” but was greatly disappointed to
find herself bundled into a “regular
train” on the first stage of her jour
ney to the Interior.
“I was greatly disappointed,” she
declared. “It was just like being out
in civilization. Having read that win
ter travel in Alaska was always done
by dog team, I naturally expected to
commence my journey into Alaska b}
that means. But, though there was
snow on the ground, I didn’t even see
a dog team and had to get on a smoky,
noisy train. It did not seem like it
could be in Alaska at all.”
Farming operations are in full
swing throughout the Fairbanks dis
trict at the present time, and the own
ers of farms are looking forward con
fidently to an unusually good season.
In fact, more soil is under cultivation
this spring than ever before in the
history of the valley, there appearing
to be a general movement to swell the
annual production of agriculture and
garden truck.
