Entranced With Beatify of Skag
way, Lovejoys Will Come
I Many Times
A farewell dinner la honor of
Mr. and Mrs. Ellis Lovojoy was giv
en last night In the Qolden; North
Hotel by Mr. and Mrs. George Ded
man. A chicken dinner was served
and thoroughly enjoyed by the vis
itors. Mr .and Mrs. Lovejoy, who
are from Columbug, Ohio, will be
homeward bound passengers on the
Spokane tomorrow afternoon.
Mr. and Mrs. Lovojoy's first visit
to Skagway was during the summer
of 1914, and they, made the Golden
North their home. They came to
Skagway for a few weeks Of out j
door life, and each day, with Mr. |
Dedman's assistance and the advice
of other good fellows at the Golden
North, planned a hike over the
trails leading from Skagway.
S<cagway and vicinity appaled to
them, but other Alaska cities might
equally as good, so they made side
trips to Sitka and Juneau, to Val
dez aud Cordova, returning to Skag
way each time and thoroughly glad
to get back. They have come to
Skagway each summer since 1914
and expect to come again and again.
They thought they had nearly
covered, during their first sum
mer here, the available hikes from
Skagway, but now, after four sum
mers, they find they are only be
ginning to appreciate tha possibili
ties of the surrounding mountains.
Each hike crosses gome unkonwn
trail, leads past some alluring val*
ley entrance, reveals Inviting climbs
with, their possibilities of grand
mountain views, opens a glimpse in
with the remark "some day; wo will
som© dark corner, and tb,ey pag^ on
follow it," but their vacation for
thig year is over, and the "some
days" spell another year and yet an
other.
Mr, Lovejoy is a consulting en
gineer, and his business takes him
to all parts of the United States
He is said to be an authority on ce»
tain, kinds Of clay used in making
pottery, hile traveling he has had
an opportunity in many places to
gee nature in all Its grandeur but
of all places, prefers to spend his
summer vacations in Skagway.
Both, Mr. and Mrs. Lovejoy are
botanists and find many different
varieties of flowers on the moun
tains and in the valleys back of
Bkagway. Not only do they press
and ktep tlie wildflowers but they
photograph the many J beautiful
scenes about the city and have them
as rememberences during the win
ter months spent in work on the
"outside."
Mr. Lovejoy is prominent in his
profession^ and a brother of Jesse
Robert Lovejoy, third vice-presi
dent of the General Electric Com
pany, and president of several elec
tric companies related to the Gener
al Electric Co.
FARMS FOR CANADIAN
SOLDIERS
Consul Edward A. Dow, accredit
ed to Fort William and Port Ar
thur, Ontario, Canada, transmits
the following:
The minister of lands, forests,
and mines of Ontario announced dus
ing a visit to Port Arthur that the
Province will soon undertake to es
tablish an agricultural colony in
this vicinity. The plan is already
being tried at one point, where
SO sets Of farm buildings will be
grouped in one community. Sep
tember first the buildings were
ready far use. Separate Jipuses
are built for single men. It is
'hoped that there will be a demand
for more buildings as the communi
ty develops.
The government clears 10 acres
of laud and advances a $500 loan
on the improvement, charging 6
per cent interest. No payments
are required during the first 3
years, and the loan expires in 20
years. The farmers are to be al
lowed 5 years to make certain im
provements and develop the farms.
Applications already, number 300.
Selections are carefully made by
giving a preliminary 30-days" trial
course to determine if the men
are suited to farming, and those
who show no special interest in
euch work are promptly eliminated.
During the trial period the men
are given soldiers' regular pay,
separation allowances, and shares
from the patriotic fund.
NEW SIDE WALK
Dortero & Son have completed
the raising of their building to the
level of the sidewalk grade, and the
city i» today laying a new walk
in front of their building.
The Alaska Road Commission b'j
started a crew of men. building a
road between, the town of IUiamna,
on Cook Inlet to Iliamna lake. The
old trail between the town and the
lake was a difficult one and the
road is a much needed one. The
route from Iliamna to the lake,
down tLfi lake and the Kvichak riv
er is a shcrrt and much traveled
one,cutting off many miles from
the steamer route from this sec
tion to Bristol Bay districts.

ALASKA COMMERCIAL
TRAVEL INCREASING
Ag a result of the entry of the
United States into the Europena
war, tourist travel to Alaska dur
ing the summer months fell some
what below the liigh records of
previous years. This decrease was
mora than offset, however, by the
increase in the number of ordinary
■passengers, according to statistics
j just compiled by the Pacific S. S.
j company.
Officials of the company's traffio
department declare that the number
of persons who traveled for purely,
business reasons had been unpre
cedented. This class Includes com
mercial salesmen and buyera and
persons engaged in fishing, mining
or other industries in Alaska. The
number 0[ resident Alaskans who
have made trips back and forth has
also been heavy.
