The plan to definitely, organze
'Liu Tuesday Club as a permanent
feature of Skagway is most com
mendable. Laat summer a group
of "hikers" were taking lunch on
'he embankment by Upper Lake
Dewey 4000 feet above sea level,
w'len it was proposed they form
than;selves into a club to ba known
bv »he above name ,»ud systematic
effort be made to visit the places of
interest contiguous to Skagway. Dur
ing the frhort remainder of the
season, these, and Others Interest
ed, had a number of interesting out
ings including breakfast® and eup
uers a* "Liarsville,' Seeman's
Grove, the old Sixteenth) Street
Bridge, Icy Lake, Lower Lake Dew
ey., Black Lake, Burro Creek, climb
ed Denvei Glacier, and reached the
jei'k o" A. B. Mountain, all of
which outings were held on Tuesday
"lhose f;uuiliar with the Southern
Coa?' of Alaska and the pnvirons of
Skagway are quite agTeed this place
a/fords most unusual opportunities
for outings, whether easy or ptrenu
ou?; *hc trip to Icy Lake or
Lower Dewey may be accomplished
by the most "citifiedi" accustomed ta|
corneii4, pavements, svhile the all

Glacier is sufficient for the most
strenuous. Between these ex
tremes, nature endeavors to bIiow
her varied beauties, from the
wiM hyacinth of the lowlands to
the ankle-deep' Mountain Heather of
the higher elevations; from the
glac al siH of the river to the glac
ial boulder balanced on the tfizzy
cliff; and frcm the quiet and rest
ful view by one of the lower lakes
to the inspiring scene from a
mountain pinnacle.
I* is weird to approach) Denver
Glacicr. The three-mile jaunt
through the woods prepares one
somewhat for the rugged object,
though a strange sensation comes
over one, when, for the first time,
he approaches this cokl giant. As
lie goe<3 closer, the ice looms high
er and higher, towering above him
as if a gigantic billow pf the eea
about *o break; and, as he climbs
over the latemal moraine to stand
uoon the icy plain, ho becomes en
tranced at the view of the wonder
ful psnrly-white pinncles towering
more ♦ban a hundred feet into
space, the whole apparently poured
out of a clear sky by an invisible
hand ust around the mountain peak
to the left. One feels helpless,
overwhelmed, as he gazes.
Bu* *he trip of the season is to
the summit of A. B. Mountain; it
is worth crossing the continent to
take. Beginning at the lowland
