one‘of the Worst lrhbwn in the mem
ory of the oldest Inhabitant. Mr. How
ard has been over the trail for many
years, and states that the deep snows
of the past steason, together with the
extreme cold and high winds have
made teaming nearly impossible and
that teamsters have suffered severely
at their Work. He StatesLthat the high
winds have blown the snow off the
trail in many places until the packed
snow Is many feet above the ground,
and that sleds are Compelled to drive
, along on the fldge with one runner or
the other hanging over until It cap
sizes, when it must be righted and
the process repeated. Mr. Howard will
remain in Valdez for a time. He states
also that Frank' Millard and family

There will be attractions big and at

And feel as hungry as a bear.
Just stop at the Sourdough Road

And take a look at the bill of fare. 2t
