Excerpt from Rand McNally Guide to Alaska and Yukon, for Tourists, Investors, Homeseekers and Sportsmen: With Maps and Illustrations In the compilation of this guide, the editor has been ably assisted by Mr. Stephen R. L. Foster During fifteen years "inside," Mr. Foster has explored, trapped, and kodaked widely. He has served as game and fur warden under the Department of the Interior, assisted materially in the location and construction of military telegraph lines, and acted as guide to important scientific expeditions; thereby acquiring an unusual intimacy with the various towns, lines of travel by railroads, over trails and on the great rivers. The beautiful illustrations and text extracts from the copyright report of the Harriman Alaska Expedition - "Alaska" - are used by permission of Mrs. Edward H. Harriman to whom we extend our grateful acknowledgment. We are also indebted to the Passenger Department of the White Pass Yukon Route and to Mr. J. L. McPherson, manager, Alaska Bureau, Seattle Chamber of Commerce, for their cordial co-operation and assistance. Statistics covering products, commerce, etc., are from latest official reports of U. S.
