II CHEECHO'S LOG
BEING THE ADVENTURES OF
A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA
WHO AT PRESENT IS WAN
DERING AT LARGE IN THE
MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND
SUNRISE DISTRICTS
Seventh Day)
Saturday morning the Chechako
prepared for the last lap of the jour
ney back to Seward. Mr. Keil was
driving to Mile twenty-nine on the
railroad; so the Chechako waited un
til Mr. Keil was ready to leave, for
Mr. Keil had been kind enough to ask
him to ride along. Attorney L. V. Ray
intended to ride along also, because
Mr. Ray was vacationing, and there
was no way to pass the day more
pleasant than the auto ride over the
Moose Pass road. The journey was be
gun immediately after lunch, and for
six miles Mr. Keil guided his Dodge
carefully over the wagon trail that
connected Sunrise with Camp Thirty
One and the Moose Pass road, with
the Chechako perched upon a board
placed across the box of the truck.
The country seemed even more beau
tiful the second time through. Game
seemed to be plentiful. Mr. Keil had
nearly run over a large bull moose on
his way into camp a few nights be
fore, and several times Mr. Keil halt
ed the car to give Attorney Ray an
opportunity to clip the head neatly off
a grouse.
The bumpy wagon trail did not last
forever. Camp Thirty-One was reach
ed early in the afternoon. There they
found \V. O. E. Criger engaged in
bandaging the finger of one of the
men which had been badly cut while
he was engaged in trimming stakes.
It is regrettable that any construction
work of any considerable magnitude
must be marred by its accidents. But
Mr. Criger bandaged the finger neat
ly, and then prepared to accompany
the party to the railroad.
At Camp Thirty-One the party trans
ferred to Mr. Ray’s Buick touring car,
and from there to the railroad hum
med along the smooth and even road

in comfort. Every few hundred yards
they met some of the construction
men or people living along the road.
Mr. Keil, Attorney Ray and Mr. Criger
greeted practically everyone by name,
even the little children playing in the
yards beside the road. Again the Che
chako was impressed. He remembered
that in Hope the people had asked
for news of many of the people re
siding in Seward, nearly eighty miles
away, and that these folks had all
possessed an intimate knowledge of
the activities of people living many
miles distant. He also thought of the
time he had spent in the States, and
of one Summer in particular, when
he had lived for ten weeks on the sec
ond floor of a three story apartment
building without even knowing the
names of the families living on the
first and the third floors, It was a
strange contrast; in the one case a
man had few friends or acquaintances
outside of his immediate dwelling, in
the other people living a hundred
miles distant were his friends and
immediate neighbors.
The car, which had been running
along beautifully, neared Moose Pass
station, and the Chechako craned his
neck to glimpse his camp site of a
few night ago. He found the place
where the camp site used to be, but
what a change there was! Snow River
had risen several feet, caused as he
later discovered, by the breaking of
a glacial lake, and the fine, level
beach where he had rested his weary
frame on Mondqy night was now cov
ered by nearly three feet of water.
The Chechako thanked his lucky stars
that the glacial lake had waited the
few days longer before breaking, for
he had had no desire to awake in the
middle of the night with water pour
ing into his ears.
Moose Pass station was reached in
plenty of time to catch the train
bound for Seward, but the difficul
ties of Alaskan transportation were
not yet over, At Mile Fourteen, on
the railroad, the Snow River, on the
same rampage that had flooded the
campsite, had undermined two of the
bents of the bridge, and the passeng
ers and baggage had to transfer to an
emergency train waiting on the other
side of the river. But this did not take
long, for the railroad had organized
the work of transfer remarkably well,
and after a delay of scarcely more
than an hour, the passengers from
the interior were again on their way.
At eight-thirty the train arrived at
Seward, and the journey was ended.
Thus the trip of the Chechako thru
the Moose Pass region ended. He
had seen a wonderful country, had
met some of the kindest and most
hospitable people in the world, and
had acquired a fund of information
in these seven short days that could
not be gained in any of the nations
great universities in ten times that
period. In short, he had begun to
understand the people and the coun- j
try as they really are, not as they are i
veneered for the tourist “doing the
country’’ in record time. And, last of
all, he could understand why there
were so many people in Alaska, who '
who had remained in the country j
had come “just to look around,” and
remain ever afterwards.
