“During the days of the gold rush
Dawson numbered 40,000 people. Now
there are barely 1,500 inhabitants.
Many of the stores are boarded up
and grass grows high in the streets.
Dawson is a shell of its former self,
“We motored to where a big dredge
was taking out ore in Gold Valley.
We also saw real gold bricks valued
at$36,000 representing a weekly out
put of the dredges.
“From Dawson we again cruised the
winding Yukon River to Eagle. One
of the passengers became boastful
about a quantity of liquor in his pos
session and an alert revenue officer
on board ordered him to dispose of
| the liquor before our boat reached
j Eagle.
“At Dawson we had the novel ex
{ perience of eating bear and caribou
stakes. In Circle, Alaska, we found
j the villages canning caribou and deer
; meat by the cold pack method, and
along the river we saw fish wheels
: for catching salmon which are smoked
i and dried for winter use.

“Our farthest north stop was made
, at Fort Yukon, 125 miles north of the
Arctic Circle, where we found a mod
ern, well equipped hospital. Fort
! Yukon is reached by boat for only
; four months of the year. At other
| times it can be reached only by dog
: team. It is a headquarters for trap
| pers. The temperature varies from
I 80 degrees above to 70 degrees belown
; stayed up all night playing bridge' so
that we might experience the pheno
mena of seeing the sun rise and set
I within the period of one hour.
“We also stopped at Rampart, where
! Rex Beach wrote several of his novels.
“Entering the Tanana River, our
| steamer pushed a big barge loaded
with “concentrate”, a mineral-produc
ing ore, destined for the mills of Ida
ho. Leaving the ship at Nenana, we
entrained for Fairbanks, in the very
heart of Alaska, where we put up at
a hotel for the first time since we
left Chateau Lake Louise. Fairbanks
shows an air of progress. Many of
the streets are being paved. Here
-we visited the government experi
mntal farm and college.
“We stopped at Anchorage, where
the scenery was ibea(utiful. Thence
we passed over deep canyons and
around horseshoe curves to beautiful

The Grebe
e?Colortone”
hushes annoying sounds and al
lows notes of voice and in strument
to reach you in full natural tones
IT enables you to alter to your
taste the quality or timbre of
speech or music from high, thin
pitch to low, deep, round tones.
This receiver, unlike others, is
not at the mercy of the loud
speaker. The “Colortone” also
helps to subdue to a great degree,
the scratching, hissing, whistling
sounds that are usually the bane
of radio reception.
The “S’s” and the “H's” are plainly
audible; naturalness of sound replaces
the artificiality which has heretofore in
terfered with radio enjoyment.
Do not miss a demonstration of this great
Grebe innovation.
