BEING THE ADVENURES OF
A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA
WHO AT PRESENT IS WAND
ERING AT LARGE IN THE
MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND
SUNRISE DISTRICTS
(Third day)
The third day was clear with a chill
in the atmosphere during the early
hours of the morning. The Chechako
arose at 6:30, cooked his breakfast of
boiled rice, prunes and coffee, made
his pack, and started down the Moose
Pass road toward Sunrise and Hope.
It seemed as though new muscles had
developed over night in the thighs and
shoulders, which ached at every step
for the first mile or two, but gradual
ly these aches worked away, and the
pack actually got lighter.
The country on either side was
beautiful in the morning sunlight. The
quiet was undisturbed except for the
occasional chatter of a squirrel or the
falling of some leaves, which made
quite a disturbance when all else was
► still. .
As he approached Mile seven and
one half, the Chechako saw a log cab
in surrounded by a few out-buildings
at the left of the road. He set his
pack against the rail fence and walked
up to the cabin. There he met Henry
Couillard. The Chechako told Mr,
CouillaTd of his journey from Wiscon
sin to Alaska, and then he discovered
that Henry Couillard was also a form
er resident of Wisconsin. He had

I
| years ago, and for many years, now,
he had farmed in Moose Pass. .He
! had already cut 50 tons of hay this
[season and the vegetables he was
raising were a revelation. There
| were about 15 tons of potatoes, some
! weighing more than one and one-half
I pounds each. - There were turnips,
l carrots, cabbage—all fine vegetables.
But in spite of this high quality, Mr.
Couillard informed the Chechako that
i there was no market in Alaska open
i
jto most of his vegetables. The Che
chako wondered: why the people
of Alaska import tons of vegetables
from the states when thousands of
tons of the finest vegetables could be
raised right here in the Territory, was
beyond the scope of his feeble com
prehension.
The Chechako shouldered his pack
once more and traveled on. Now he
; was fortunate. At Mile nine John
Bateman, driving a road commission
truck caught up to him and invited
him to ride. 'This he did willingly, for
the pack was beginning to grow heavy
again. The ride through the scenic
Pass was most pleasant, and late that
afternoon this stage of the journey
ended at the road camp, Mile 31.
There the Chechako met “Muz
zey,” who is engineer and W. E. O.
Criger in official circles. He was at
tired in the characteristic red shirt,
with one red and one green sock add
j ing another touch of color to his cos
tume. A most interesting individual,
this engineer who had spent most of
the years of his life out beyond the
outskirts of civilization. No man
could receive a greater tribute than
the words of one of the men: “You
know,” he said, “This man “Muz” is
sure a hell of a fine guy to work for.”
j Then came dinner. John Borg is
Icook at Mile 31, with Jim Berto as
his able assistant. It was the Che
chako’s first introduction to camp fare
and what an introduction! The table
fairly creaked under its load, and the
Chechako ate until he wras ashamed.
And even then John Borge and Jim
Berto asked if they could pass him
anything more. If a road camp, like
jan army, travels on its stomach, Mile
j 31 should be able to go a long wray.
That night the Northern Lights
weTe brighter than the Chechako had
ever seen before. The air was a lit
tle cold, containing a reminder that
winter was not far ahead. But the
Chechako laid his bed roll in a bunk
house that night, and it seemed soft
indeed as compared with the gravel
of the previous camp. Then “Lights
out!”
Thus the third day passed.
BULL MOOSE USED,
KEMI-SEMBO ROOD
rii’l
As the Starr family were motor,
ing to the fish hatchery last even
ing, they scared up a bull moose
just the other side of the new road
crossing and chased him down to
the second bridge. The moose ev
idently decided he was treading a
dangerous path at just about this
time, for he suddenly swerved off
the highway and crashed through
the brush heading for up the creek.
The bull looked like he was about
four years old and would have
checked in at around 500 pounds.
