From the Yaidez Pros^ 'iter v.v
cull the following account of .1 Har
vest Festival held there a week a.-1',
which shows the trend 01 effort all
over Alaska to develop agricultural
resources, thus developing the t'
ri'orv into a laud of permanent
honie3:
"A tourist from the "outside"
might well have imagined that
lit was on a visit to the "Sunny
South," had' he witnessed the
horticultural display in the Con
gregational church last Sunday.
Tiio Harvest Festival Services
were a decided success, and the
varied ehxibits from the beautiful
gardens of Valdez constituted a
practical refutation of an impression
erroneously held by most people in
the ststes, that Alaska is a flow
erless waste, as frigid aud barren
as au iceberg.
"TLe church was resplendent with
all kinds of cut flowers, pot plants
and vegetables, -which were displa -
ed i* an artistic manner. Over tiie
platform was a beautiful fuchsia in
a hanging basket, exhibited by Mrs.
Depuy, who also sent a splendid ar
ray of oot plants and cut flowers,
including some fine Shasta daisies.
Airs. Kramer's garden was repre
sented by red geraniums, a pretty
ribbon plant. Japanese pinks, and a
variety o* flowers and vegetables
was shown from Mrs. Conlev's place
per favf r of Mrs. Shcrts. A Rice
assortment of vegetables and cut
flowers was exhibited by -Mrs. Gil
mour. Mrs. Jones was responsible
for a huge cauliflower and other
vegetables. Assorted vegetables
were shown by Mr. Gavigan. Lettuce
and flowers were exhibited by Mrs.
Brenno, a fuchsia by Mrs. Hill, peas
b- Mrs Spence, flowers by Mrs.
Crawford, vegetables b> Mrs. Bar
rett, oats by Mrs. F. Phillips, and
agricultural products by Mr. Dier
inger.

h'bits was loaned by Mrs. Barrett,

POVERTY.
Poverty, my dear friend, is to
great an evil and pregnant with so
much temptation and so much mis
ery that I cannot hut earnestly en- j
jcin you to avoid it. Live on |
what you have; live if you can on j
less. Do not borrow cither for
vanity or pleasure. The vanity will
end in shame and the pleasure in
regret.—Samuel Johnson.
