by
Accident
in
Dawson
From
the
commercial
points
view,
Morte
Harley
Craig,
of
this
city,
has
done,
perhaps,
more
jfijan
his
share
in
"putting
Prince
Runert
on
the
map."
From
the
artistic
viewpoint,
through
his
own
particular
craft,
he
has
a
talent
that
any
city
might
well
be
proudJ
of
possessing.
It
is
because,
from
neither
standpoint,
he
nas
possibly
not
received
his
full
share
ojt
recognition
and
appreciation
vhat
these
few
words
are
written
now.
Possibly,
not
many
who
are
acquainted
with
Mr.
Craig,
who
wps
born
in
California
and
raised
in
St.
Joseph,
Missouri,
and
fastyW
know
that
his
artistic
career
was

started
by
an
accident,

may

ago
he
was

have
done,
though
paid
for

the
mining
engineer
wtth
a
large
clientele
and
field
In
Denver,
Colorado,
that
he
started
earning
hi
living
as
a
railroad
man
and
rose
in
that
business
to
the
post
of
cashier
in
a
large
Pacific
coast
city
and
later
was
a
divisional
superintendent
in
the
northwest
states.
But
all
this
is
but
to
lead
up
to
the
story
of
how
Mr.
Craig
happened
to
become
an
r.rti
t
and
how,
in
that
tine
af
work,
he
ha?
been
so
successful
so
successful,
in
fact,
that
people
of
this
city,
in
their
familiarity,
may
not
be
ap-l
preclative.
Were
Mr.
Craig
car-1
rying
on
his
profession
in
some
'
larger
dty,
he
would
probably
be
.
much
more
greatly
capitalized.
In
fact,
he
has,
no
doubt,
known
his
work
to
be
much
more
greatly
capitalized
than
it
is
here.
f
As
is
often
the
case
with
genius
in
many
lines,
Mr.
Craig
had
no
schooling
in
the
artistry
which
was
to
become
so
notable
a
life
work
for
him.
Though
he
was
a
draftsman,
even
he
himself
did

was

as
so,
many
others
did,
on
sheer
impulse.
And
it
was
to
come
about
that
Mr.
Craig
was
not
to
be
made
or
broken,
as
it
was
said
the
North
would
do,
but
to
be
re
made,
at
least
so
far
as
his
profession
and
such
important
material
matters
were
concerned.

In

that
turned
Mr.
Craig
from

work
of

to

The
Ski
Club
was
to
hold
the
first
big
banquet
ever
given
in
Dawson
and
they
wanted
a

Mr.

was
asked
if
he
could

and

It
is
something
of
a
school
of
his
own
that
Mr.
Craig
these
last
thirty
years
has
developed
in
the
nay
of
art
and
his
ingenuity
has
done
much
to
carry
the
name
and
fame
of
the
city
of
Prince
Rupert
to
many
parts
of

of
the

type

that

Mr."

has
revolutionized
to

as

To
Honor
Visitors
Since
Mr.
Craig
came
to
Prince
liupert
in
1910,
there
has
hardly
been
a
personage
of
any
prominence
visiting
the
place
who
has
not
been
sent
on
his
way
without
some
example
of
Mr.
Craig's
artistry
as
a
perpetual
reminder
of
Prince
Rupert
and
a
memento
which
has
in
many
cases
been
greatly
prized.

by
Mr.
Craig
and

of

outstanding
works
in
this
city
was
that
which
was

to
Sir
Wilfrid
Laurier
when
that
statesman
visited

in

of

horse

mountains
and

Visitors
to

in
Ottawa,
later

to

of

And
when
Mr.

spends
days,
as
he
very
often
has
done,
in
producing
something
of
this
kind,
simply
"fire

as
he
is
pleased
to

be

something
to

even
by
the
greatest
man,
hardened
to
a
multitude
of
honors,
has
been

Such
has
been
the
case
with
Mr.
Craig
and
it
has
been
by
this
means
that

such
an

Doubtless,

to
