FRAIL CANOE
Les Ordeman, president of the j
Oregon Camera Club and photo
grapher* of no mean ability, and
Herbert Ackley, brother of the
former well known Anchorage
resident and Legion officer, ar
rived in Seward during the past
week following a journey thru
Alaska few have enjoyed. They
shinned an 18-foot canoe , from
Portland, Ore., to White Horse,
Yukon Territory, and from there
their great adventure began.
That should be qualified be
cause the fun began on the
morning of June 4 when the
young men started to hike the
68 miles over the White Pass Ry.
from Skagway to Carcross. The
railroad goes over high, bare,
wind-swept hills and mountains
to Dead Horse Gulch. When nite
came they ate their supper and
j crawled into their sleeping bags.
; At the border the Mounted Po
lice took away their firearms,
asked them a few questions,
| then bid “us God speed.” They
i didn’t speed much, Ackley, a for
| mer resident of Seward, remark
! ed. because their feet hurt too
' much.
DOGS STOLE BACON
At Mile 51. two mongul pups
took a fancy to the lads and fol
lowed them for the rest of the
day staying with them that
evening. They turned up (the
clogs) their noses at the mush
offered and made off with a two
pound slab of bacon. That night
i a wolf kept the youths awake
for some time with his howling.
The dogs whimpered and cower
i ed for they were just about as
i frightened as the gunless men.
From White Horse they made
their way down the river, tak
: ing their time, camping, fishing
and taking pictures. Indians
made their way up and down
the river in gas boats, loaded
■ down to the gunwales with
everything from fish to babies.
j Thousands of swallows darted
■ out from their nests in the high
clay banks that tower over the
PEOPLE FRIENDLY
One night while camping on
the shore of Lake La Barge a
storm sprang up. The canoe had
not been pulled up far enough
on the beach but they awoke
in time to save the canoe and
contents from the cascading
waves. The remainder of the
night was spent drying out
everything before numerous fires
Ail along the route the people
treated the travelers with a
warmth and friendship that is
typical of the Northland and
i isolated places. From what they
| learned, along the river 0 and
thru the whole Yukon Territory,
; the population is on the decline.
The prospectors that came in
during the gold rush are rapidly
dying off and no one comes to
take their place. Frequently the
boys passed deserted villages
I such as Hootalinqua and Little
: Salmon, that are speedily fading
1 into the winds.
IDLE MEN AT DAWSON
At Five Finger Rapids canvas
was tucked over the length of
the canoe and they went through
with nothing worse than a soak
ing and two inches of water in
the bottom of their boat.
There were lots of idle men
in Dawson. The silver mines at
Mayo were laying men off ow
ing to the recline in prices of silver.
Below Dawson the mosquitoes
seemed to increase in size and
wickedness. The lads netting
was too course and some of the
smaller insects would make their
way thru and gorge themselves
on the adventurers’ precious
blood during the night. On the
river they didn’t disturb them
but as soon as the banks were
approached they came in flocks
to take part in the feast. It was
because of them that they spent
the last night on the river in
the boat, cooking their meal on a
small Primo sove and taking turns
sleeping.
They crossed the 160 mi$es
between Circle nad Fairbanks by
stage arriving July 3, a month
after their start from the other
end of the Territory, Skagway.
Les left here last week to go
back to the States to his work
but Herb has decided to remain
in Alaska and is now employed
by the Bureau of Public Roads, |
at Moose Pass, where he former- !
ly put in a season.
