They had point- ed bows and square sterns and each was equipped with a mast and sail. The party then journeyed down the Athabaska river, through the Athabaska Lake, the Slave Riv- er, to the Great Slave Lake. Here at Hoy River the :voyagers paus- ed long enough to build a church for the Anglican missionary, which wasstill In use a few years ago. The Arctic circle was crossed but the party continued down- stream until within about 90 mil- es of the mouth of the Macken- zie River and the. Arctie Ocean. There they entered the Peel Riv- er going eastward and proceeding upward toward the last height of land on top of the Rockies which separated them from the Yukon River. They. travelled up the Peel river for 15 miles, then through the Willow!. and Long- stick rivers. After ten days downstream the voyagers came to the mouth of Old Crow River oneOctober 3 and as ice was beginning to form it was decided to make camp on a well wooded island where the ab- undance of lumber would provide logs for 15-ending a cabin, Here the, long winter in the Arctic -was passed in comparative comfort and all enjoyed good health but Duncan Matheson who had an attack of, acute indiges- tion. The time was spent hunting game and in prospecting for gold, but on only one occasion did any yellow dust appear „in the pan. Mr, Hamilton had taken with him his violin which helped to pass away many pleasant hours. The trip down the Porcupine River to the Yukon was passed without mishap, Among the chief objects of interest were 75 miles of ramparts, high walls or rocks which nature has painted and col- oured. One form in particular was an excellent representation of an old man and woman at Fort Yukon which is 400 miles north of Dawson. The party broke up, divided the supplies, and from here each one paid for his own transporta- tion up to Dawson by steamer. They arrived there in June, which was 15 months after starting from Montreal. Duncan Matheson again became critically ill at Circle City where he died and was buried aft- er undergoing an operation. The late Mr. Hamilton always mid high respect to Mr. Mathe- el's memory and claimed that Raithby Couple Marks 40th Anniversary At Family Summer Party (By our Auburn Correspondent) Mr, and Mrs, Earl Raithby were guests of honour at the summer cottage of their daughter, Mrs. Kenneth Petrie and Mr. Petrie near Kincardine recently when they entertained relatives and friends on the occasion of their 40th wedding anniversary. Henry Lamont, Kincardine en- tertained with selections on the bagpipes, Mrs. Petrie read a poem composed by Frank Raith- by for the occasion and gifts were presented. Lunch was served by the hostess assisted by Mrs. Frank Raithy, along with a bea- utifully decorated cake. Ally. and Mrs. Raithby were married' by Rev. A. E. Millson at the home of the bride's uncle, the late John Hoare and was be- fore her marriage Miss Alfretta M, Killough. Following their mar- riage they took up residence on now owned by Fred Toll. In 1.946 they sold out and mov- ed to Goderich where Mr. Raith- by is employed by II.E.R.C.O. They are both valued members of the Goderich Baptist Church where Mrs. Raithby is the presi- dent of the Mission Circle. They have a family of one son, Serg- eant William Raithby, Ottawa and one daughter, Marie, Mrs. Ken- neth Petrie, Kincardine, and three granchildren, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Raithby, John Raithby and Harold Raith- by were present. he was the best man in the party. His seamanship, learned from his experiences as a sailor in Gode- rich helped out on many a trying occasion. He often related that the Canadians going into Dawson in the early days were handicap- ped by not having any experienc- es in placer mining. Many Ameri- cans who came from California were used to placer mining which followed the rush to that country in 1849 and fared much better than the Canadians. Mr. Hamilton came ,home from Dawson in 1900 in July and was married and took his bride to the Yukon where they remained until 1910 when with their son Thomas (who now resides in Goderich) they returned to Au- burn to take up farming. Twelve years ago they moved to the vill- age. Mrs. Hamilton compared present day travel to that trip which she took nearly 59 years ago, and to the first expedition that took 15 months. Despite her advanced years she takes a keen interest in the act- ivities of the community and is always looking for friends to call and also enjoys a game of cards.

She said that the rush to the Yukon is quite different today than it was when her late husband got the gold fever in 1898. He learned that Duncan Math- eson had come home from Mont- real and was visiting his relatives in Goderich. George learned from Duncan that he could join the same company in Montreal and go with them, He left here about the middle of March for Mont- real where eight other gold see- kers awaited him. Before leaving, J. D. Anderson the leader of the expedition drew up an agreement binding all to remain together for six months, After outfitting at Montreal the party journeyed to Edmonton where they completed their pur- chases, and then proceeded down the Athabaska to the Athabaska Landing. Their 12 tons of pro- visions were taken this far by teens. Here George Hamilton became a ship carpenter and from lumber purchased from the Hudson's Bay Corhpany built three sturdy flat- bottomed boats, each 21 feet long and with. an eight foot beam and Win OUR GREAT KNOWLEDGE WE 'WILL PROVE TO YOU..., TAERE tp NO JOB WE CANT DO..1 Shower Bold Miss Carol Armstrong, bride- elect was guest of honour at a shower in her honour in the Sun- day School room of Knox United Church, recently.
