FAIR TOWN'S AND SWEBT FLOW
ERS.
The flowers that bloom in Skag
vay during the season of summer
are not second to the small fruits
and the vegetables for which the
Skugway valley has' become famous
The town is a veritable garden
when summer smites, and its towns
folk tak$ especial pride in cultivat
ing their parterres and garden plots
From early spring until late fall th
flowers grow and bloom to the de
light of homefolk aud visitors
Therefore, it is no wonder tha
Skagway'a fame as a garden spo
has been heralded far and wide.
The crudeness of the early days
when the town was filled with eag
tr, feverish argonauts, bound for th
golden Klondike, has Ipng since dis
appeared, and peace reigns where
once the roar and surge of the
madding crowd aloue were heard.
Horticulture and floriculture are
peaceful pursutts that have sapplant
ed the more strenuous life. Gone is
the mule-skinner and paekH*ains »o
longer wind along the once tortuous
blood-bedraggled trail that led to
the then little known country be
yond the mountain range. The rail
road traverses the picturesque val
ley. and then up and up until the
mountain gap. known in song an
story as the White Pass is reached
15ut the beauty of the valley is left
Wehind. and the only changes noted
.ire those that have followed in
man's ootsteps. The ruggedness o
stern nature is still there, and all
the arts of mankind could effect
but little change in its forbidJiug
aspect.
But Skagway is not the only place
in Alaska where cultivated flowers
bloom in al fresco profusion. It's
rival is the town of Fairbanks, the
metropolis of the great Tanana val
ley. Here there is scarcely a home
which does not have its flower gar
den, each showing the loving care
and attention of its owner. And in
summer there is a veritable "riot
of color', restful to the eye and
pleasing to the senses.
These towns show what can be
done in the way of cultivating flow
ers and small fruits and the succu
lent vegetables loved alike by sour
dough citizens or Chechako strait
ey and paraphrasing an old Scotch
song, we can say to both these fair
towns, "Sweet be your fields and
fair your flowers, your waters nev
er drucilie."—Alaska Daily Empire
The above, from the trenchant
pen of Editor John \V. Troy, is
praise indeed, for as is well known
among the older residents of Skag
way, Mr. Troy for several year
lived here amid the bustle and tor
moil of stamped ers, packers and
railroad workers, when the town
was in its infancy and the W. P.
& Y. R. yet ia embryo. He after
ward stayed long enough to see and
realize that the Skagway valley had
productive capacities undreamed o
by the ordinary observer. How
true this was, is amply proven by
the two exhibitions of horticultura
a!hd agricultural products that hav
takeu place here. The exhibits
were of wondrous beau»y and al
j most abnormal size and were view
ed a*d spoken of by outside visitor
with surprised delight.
