ot the world. It is more than 2.800
miles long and is both the longest and
the lamest river flowing into Pacific
waters in the western hemispheresnr-
mull]; by a considerable margin its
most competitors, the Columbia and
the Colorado. Among all the rivers
of North America the Yukon is sur‘
passed in length only by the Missis-
sippi system and the Mackenzie. It
is longer than the St. Lawrence. as
well as all the other rivers except the
mssissippl system which flows into
the Gulf of Mexico or the A'tlantig
i The existence of such a large river
II the Yukon in the Fur North was
long unsuspected. A. Russian lieu-
tenant, ngoskin, entered its month
by boat in 1842 and traversed it tor
several hundredmiles. The Hudson's
Bay company had discovered its head-
waters in Canada; but the. two bits
of information were not pieced to-
gether. The existence of the river
as a stream of great magnitude and
length first became really known
through the daring and romantic proj-
ect of installing land telegraph wires
between America and Europe across
Alaska, Behring strait and the wastes
of Siberia. Robert Kennicott, in con-
nection with this enterprise binned
the Yukon trail by descending the
river in 1886. The first trading
steamer ascended the stream in 1869.
The Yukon really came into its own
with the discovery of gold in the
Klondike in 189d~Bulletin of Na-
tional Geographical Society.

“You can bring a horse to water." etc.;
"A new broom sweepsclean.” "Small:-
