greatest mining camp on the con tinent Dawson City But the way was long and the trail inex pressible within two weeks two of the party turned back Then the dark days came and the cruel cold and two more wearied un to death their long last sleep by the silent trail- Desperate but not despairing the remaining two struggled grimly northward The long winter melted into spring and still they wore mush ing by day and camping by night- When at last they camp to the end f the trail June had come with its almost perpetual daylight and its scorching summer heat We have just finished reading hat old faded dairy written by one of men on that journey Sixteen years have yellowed its worn and dimmed some of the writing into illegibility but it holds an honored place in the- library of one of the finest sour- doughs in the Yukon We have marvelled at the revelation of those simplywritten pages we have laughed hysterically and cried shamelessly It is the story of the first goldseekers who came all the way over what was known as the Edmonton Trail Those who preceded them turned aside one one to inc trail whence one ever returns Ten months of but halfrevealed bravery cry out to us from those

are upon it for it leads through such a fairyland as we had I bought existed only in dreams Swiss mountains and lakes Italian skies Norwegian fjords gorgeous sunsets the beauties of the new trail are as cosmopolitan as was the throng Of goldseekers who broke the terrible trails to the gold fields Had there been no great war the new trail would have come its own more gradually but the unceasing stream of American travel was diverted abruptly from its European channel in August The old trail to the north had been merely a means an end but the new trail is an end in itself and called at an op portune moment At first its newness lent it charm ill peo ple awoke to wonderland that I I to forest Already the White tents of the summer camp gleam through the trees and the light touch of the paddle ripples the shadow of its is a con tinuation of the great tracts Of land set apart by the Government for the- recreation of the nation Hero all minor attractions sink into insignificance beside the stu pendous grandeur of Mount Rob- son that incomparable of the Canadian Rockies Isolated majestic he lift his mighty head above tike some great brooding giant of the ages The influence of tower ing mountains has always been an elusive overmastering thing and at the fool of Mount ftobson one is lost in it- It is like the domination of an overwhelming personality all the egotism all the littleness of life is effaced from ones heart and before ones wistful eyes pass strange visions A thousand years are but a mo ment and ones mind swung abruptly from its narrow path considers time and life in terms of centuries and generations Then perhaps the clouds lift from the scarred snowdrifted peak above Someone speaks and with a start one conies re luctantly back to the little things of life But it can never be- the same for something of that won derful influence has flung back the lines of our horizon of thought and we have uncon sciously wrung from Mount Hob- son a new note in our own per sonality that will be as inde structible as the mighty peak it self But the new trail sweeps on across the range and at every turn come into view On the Rover worn through the solid rock stands the famous Gate with its vertical black rock as clearcut as hough chiselled Below in its perpetual shadow the rapids swirl and foam and break on the rocks Above the rapids a plat form has been
