D. REEVES TELLS MORE OF TRIP TO ALASKA INLAND PASSAGE WONDERFUL Northland Has Other Lures Than Lust For Virgin Gold, Says Lebanon Man SECOND ARTICLE By DOLPH REEVES Slipping quietly into the docks of the Pacific Steamship company, the Dor: othea Alexander quickly lowered her gang plank and -soon a stream of passengers passed quickly down to the docks, past a line of neatly uniformed customs officers into autos which were waiting to take. the people on an Inspection tour of this quaint and interesting English city, Victoria. Most of the autos that I noticed were of American make- The ear that our party rode in was Buick. There is a luxury tax on automobiles in this country and the chauffeur told us that the tax on this car was around $1000.

Most all luxuries carry 4 heavy duty. This tax has been imposed upon the people since the world war to help reduce the tremendous war debt. The short auto tours of this picturesque and beautiful British Columbia proved interesting to all the visitors. Its old English mansions, flower gardens, government buildings and hotels were surrounded by well kept lawns and hedges. Victoria has many shops and stores and I almost forgot to mention its public beer gardens, located at Esquimatt- favorite rendezvous of the tourists -especially the dry ones that hall from the states.

Driving out on the boulevards you pass many golf courses and country Stretching out as far one can see, these well kept courses with their velvetlike lawns are Inviting. Many of the eitizens, of Victoria are titled people, most of them remittance men. They spend much of their time at these cluba playing their favorite We found the people quite friendly, but reserved. They treat the tourist with special favor, as the revenue rived from this crop amounts to hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly. Comparing Victoria with our metropolitan Seattle there was a noticeable difference.

No one seemed to be in hurry. An old Englishman told that when the street. car conductor wanted a drink he would stop the car in the center of the block, walk several feet to the fountain and quench his thirst, while the passengers viewed scenery, He called it the city of the unburied dead. Victoria la situated on a peninsula and the most extreme southern point of British Columbia and forms part of the shore of one of the greatest land locked indentations in the Pacific ocean. It was discovered by Captain George Vancouver in 1702 and In connected with the ocean by the Straits of Juan de Foca.

The two thonsand miles of shore line in dotted by several prosperous citien, fertile valleys and unlimited natural resources. Months could be spent in this inter eating country, listen- -the boat whistles. It's the first call. Thirty minutes and the Dorothea will be our Its way. So everyone hurriedly made their way back to the whart, for the four hours spent here seemed only too short a time to spend in this interestIns port.

Litting our anchor we bade Victoria adieu and our good old ship was on her Way again. Leaving Victoria at 6:45 p. m. we spent our first evening on the waters of Paget Sound. Everyone seemed anxious to get out of British Columbia and Into Alaskan waters, Several hundred miles are traversed before reaching our first port of call, Ketchikan.

The voyage to Alaska can be divided into two From Victoria to Ketchikan the Journey mostly through narrow channels with steep shores heavily timbered to the water's edge. The second part from Ketelikan to Skagway Is through willer stretches of water, with glaciers, waterfalls, and rugged snowpeaked mountains on either side, and. richly colored with the purple twilight of the Northland. For the twilights In Alaska are full of romance and. keep one.
