She has exchanged her rough cor duroy hunting suit, worn and torn from hundreds of inil.es of mushing in the barren interior of Alaska, for the dainty georgette gowns of civil-' Nation, and her rifle, which brought clown hear, mOOse and caribou, for the more feminine parasol. Yet the spell of the Yukon still holds the young Omaha woman, and as she related glowing experiences of the great, shimmering land of the midnight sun she frequently voiced a determination to return.

' Penetrates Interior. From Cordova she made the trip to Fairbanks and Chitina over the Copper railroad, took the long trail, 300 miles by stage over the Alaska and coast ranges. Starting in April in 1919, she was on the move, by train, automobile, dog sled, steam boat and afoot for nearly a year, spending most of her time on the Kantishna river, tribuary to the Tanana river, by which she pene trated the deserted wilds of the in terior. , She took the first steamer to make a trip up the Kantishna to the de serted camp, Roosevelt City, since the gold strike "was made there in 1906. The steamer , carried two barges loaded with supplies for Joe Dalton and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Quigley. - the only persons left at Roosevelt City. , . . -,-, First "Mush" in North. From Roosevelt City Mrs. Wil son started on her first mush of 30 miles to the Quigley home, where Mrs. Quigley, better known in Alaska as Fannie McKenzie Quig ley, took her . in charge. A hunting trip into the Bear Creek country, which netted nine moose, five black bear and four glacier bears, was Mrs. Wilson's first ex perience in the big game line. The crowning event of her whole trip was her visit to Mount McKin ley national park, never betore vis ited by a white woman. Mrs. Wilson gives a glowing de scription of the park with its varied colors, giant . mountains and great vistas. She secured many pictures of the park, but deplores the lack of color in photography in depicting the park's wonders. . Rides First Train. From Tenana to Fairbanks Mrs. Wilson rode on the ' first train to operate on the Tenana-Fairbanks railroad extension. The return to "the outside" from -Fairbanks to Cordova required 14 days. The gold fever struck the intrepid little woman while sh was in the de serted Roosevelt camp and she staked tut several claims on which her brother is now doing assessment work. . . Although she loves to recount her trips .of exploration in the interior, it is the people of Alaska and their lives which Mrs. Wilson takes the most joy in discussing. Her cheeks glowed and her eyes sparkled as she reclined in an easy chair in the softly lighted Path finder hotel lobby at Fremont Tues day and told of the sterling: ouali. ties of the mtn arid women of Alaska. , v '." Women Are Resourceful. "If I could only be like the Alaska women," she explained. "They are so calm, so resourceful and so kind. I have been at dinner parties and dances in Alaska that were as prettv as any in the United States. Many of the little details were lacking:, but one didn't notice that. And the men" she hesitated and glanced at a. photograph of herself nd R. J. Somers, youthful ex-offi- cio governor and surveyor general of Alaska. The governor had his arm about her shoulder, rrotcc- tingfy. .-. Alska is a very cold country." she smiled, "and convention is not so terrible as it is here. But the men well they make excellent big brothers." . . . Mrs. Wilson believes that Alaska is indeed a land of eternal youth. Residents show no .. signs of age,, she declared. Vegetables on Mountain. "It is the most wonderful coun try in the world." she announced in another burst of enthusiasm. I he climate is simolv erand and the scenery just gorgeous. In that trip back from the park wef mushed for days in a real fairyland of suow- aden trees and shrubs. Mr. and Mrs. Quigley, who were so kind to me, live nearly 4,000 feet up on the mountain side, and Mrs. Quigley raises enough vegetables for their own use right there. I was a nervous wreck when I started, but I h ave entirely recov ered after nearly a year of sleeping on the ground, and I have gained nearly 11 pounds. Mrs. Wilson considers herself genuine sourdough, as old-timers in Alaska are termed. ; "I became an. excellent .shot," she announced enthusiastically, "and am going to have a number of fine skins mounted for my home. There were,droves of game of all kinds at Mount. jNlcKinley park. XjPicniep'jat Midnight. "I'll nevef forget those daylight parties we used to have at 12. alia 1 o clock at night.
