anders in a crooked winding waj
Noitli to wliat is known as Canoe
Pass, and then ends, said Trail
covi i mg a distance of about nine
milea, and par illel to a good wa
of only six miles. For what rea
son The Trail was constructed is not

w ain over this Trail they would have
to have a boat at each end or else
s w in.
The Residents o1 the West Coas*

across Princ,_ of Wales Island run
nin,a from Craig Alaska via, Klawock
Alaska, and it is just possible that
someone thinks hey can keep us

wiudi g Trail, that has no beginning
nor end, in lieu cf a GOOD road
