the Midnight Sun
Uncle Dick says that the new railroad in the North may go to Fort McMurray at the foot of this great system of the Athabasca rapids . That would cut out a lot of hard work . If there were a railroad up there , a fellow could go to the Arctics almost as easy as going to New York . '' `` I 'd rather go to the Midnight Sun now , '' said Rob . `` There 's some trouble about it now , and there 's some wilderness now between here and there . It 's no fun to do a thing when it 's too easy . I would n't give a cent to go to Fort McPherson , the last post north , by any railroad . ''
