Abstract
"In 1898--a long time ago, eh?--I was a member of the party locating the route of the White Pass & Yukon R. R. from Skagway, Alaska to Whitehorse, Y. T. A. B. Lewis was chief of the party, and one of the rod men--'back flag'--was a rolling stone named H. B. LeFevre. who, previous to going North was editor of the paper in Pasco, and I heard him tell, many times during that time that he was author of that slogan."
