Rose ol Ellensburg Butter The Best That Money Can Buy I --- - OFFICIAL TAKES SKAOWAV ROUTE TO mm One of the best evidances la the world that the Skagway, Whitehorse and Dawson route to the Tanana is the only practicable way to the great American gold camp is the fact that people are coming from Valdez to Skagway on their way to Fairbanks. A. 'it. Heilig, clerk of the United States district court, arrived in this city on the last boat and took the train from here Saturday morning, leaving Whitehorse Sunday afternoon by White I'ass' stage. Mr. Hei lifj was in a hurry to reach his destination and was afraid to tackle the Valdez trail. Notwithstanding- that he was at the coast terminus of that route to start with, he came to Skagwav facing a disagreeable and nasty ocean voyage of several days that he might make the remainder of the way in comfort rather than to attempt to wallow through the unbroken snow banks on the Valdez glacier or to mush over the trackless fastness of the Copper river valley.
