the air was warm on the Stikine, and most of the trees and bushes well 

 leaved out, at the Junction the temperature was below 'freezing each 

 night, and the deciduous trees and shrubbery were all bare or just 

 beginning to show bursting leaf buds. Still higher, at the Summit, 

 the lakes were almost entirely ice covered, and there were deep snow- 

 drifts on all sides. The snow was melting in the daytime, however, and 

 the meadows as a result were nearly all flooded. 



Fig. E. Looking up the river from Glenora, fifteen miles below Telegraph 

 Creek. Here there are extensive tracts of open meadow land, much of it cov-

 and fireweed. Bordering river and meadows are jows of tall cottonwoods rising 

 above thickets of alder and willow. Poplar is the predominant tree of the 

 drier ground. The mountains immediately to the eastward are low and rounded, 

 in striking contrast to the high, jagged peaks of the coast range, which rise but 

 a short distance west of this point. Photograph taken July 6, 1919. 



GLENORA 



Fifteen miles down stream from Telegraph Creek, on the west 

 side of the river, lies Glenora, a deserted village. Years ago this was 

 the metropolis of the region, but circumstances caused the entire 

 population to move to Telegraph Creek. The houses were mostly of 

 logs, material that could not be moved, and they stand there today, 

 slowly succumbing to decay, a refuge for white-footed mice and bushy- 

 tailed wood rats. 



Glenora occupies a strip of flat ground several hundred yards in 

 width, extending for perhaps a mile along the river, the stream in 

 front, steep banks behind, two or three hundred feet high, rising to a
