LETTER RECALLS
THE OLD TIMERS
Wrangell Sentinel: Mr. Worder
recently received a letter fron:
Capt. W. D. Moore asking him tc
send some photos of Wrangell ami
the Stikine river.
This letter recalls to a nurubOi
erf Wrangell's oldest citizens rein
iniscences of this liimilj of pio
nters, the "Moore's" rnu a num
ber of the old timers remeuibei
Capt. Wm. Moore, who brought
the first stern wheele.- into Alas
ka waters and for a number ol
years made regular trips from
Wrangell to within a ft-w miles ci
iilenora, B. C.
This boat was called the "Fly
ing Dutchman," and although w<
are unable to find out it this boat
was named at Wrangell or not it
is presumed that she was christ
ened with a bottle of hock beer in
honor of our esteemed friend Ed.
Ludecke, as it is said that "Lew"
was flying some in those days
(Vithout the aid of a mo.toplane.
A little of the inside history of
the Moore family can be gleaned
by the fact that they all appeared
to be pioneers In tie steamboat
business. The father, Capt. Wm.
\toore, made his first trip on the
Stikine, from Wrangell to within a
few miles of Glenora, in 18(12. In
1S74, W. D. Moore anil J. W.
Moore, sons of Capt. Wm. Moore
came to Wrangell and according
to statement made in the letter re
ceived, werf- the discoverers ot gold
on Dease creek In the Cassitr
mining country.
loiter on one of the Captain's
sons went up the Lynn canal and
staked off a liberal riece of land
and built the first wharf hi what is
now known as Skagway.
It would appear that «" man who
had the nerve to tackle the Stikine
with a river boat built in those
days would have a monopoly of the
business, but this dona not appear
10 be the rase, for scon after.the
Moores l»<d engaged in the river
traffic Capt. J. C. Callbreath pur
chased a river steamer called the
"Alaskan" and soon after becams
a keen rival of the Moore family
f* r the transportation business. It
might be news to many who have
paid from $17.50 to $20.00 each
for tickets to Telegraph creek to
know that the fare in those days
did not exceed $10.00 up river to a
point near Glenora, and during
the days of the Mooro and Call
breath fight over the transporta
tion business, I am t<id that the
fare dropped to $2.50.

ATLIN TRAVEL
Carcroes, April 19—Traffic be

Half a dozen freight teams which

get away before navigation opens.
Atlinltes who returned from the
