| hickeson opened an K-urt farm
for his railroad, and last summer
thin ranch produced all the vege
tables used In the company's din
Inn cars, river steamboats snd ho
tels. Incidentally, all of the fish
for the company's patrons were
? ?aught in Lake Dennett and In the
streams at the head of the Yukon
Some of the Skagway farmers are
thinking of going Into the apple
Industry. Two 4-year-old trees at
Haines, forty miles from Skagway,
?>ore good Irult for the first time
last summer. and as a result hun
dreds of young apple trees have
been planted.
The supplying of Alaska vege
table and Seattle groceries to the
towns a long the Yukon last sum
mer put a crimp In the prices of
commodities of this kind, with the
result that most of the goods
brought from Ran Francisco and
hauled up the big river 2.000 miles
against the current were left on the
counters.
Perhaps one of the most remark
able things in connection with this
agricultural development in Alaska
Is the fact that a large number of
American hoauty roses wore gather
ed in Skagway last summer and
found ready sale along the Yukon
Next year other flowers will he
grown snd sold.
Since the agricultural crate struck
Skagway. rnanv greenhouse* have
*>een erected In that vicinity.
The Ska^wav Agricultural Fair
Association was incorporated last
summer, and the first agricultural
fair ever held in SkagwMy dosed
two weekti ago. Resides wheat,
oats and other cereals and sll kinds
of vegetable, five different kinds of
wine made from the wild berries
were exhibited, and many of the
enthusiastic Alasksns are begin
ning to think they may he able to
find a market for these beverages
The wines include cranberry, blue
berry, huoklelierry, respberry, red
and black currant and rhubarb.
"\Vt? have demonst rated that this
garden stulf can be produced." says
i>icki*son, who is now in Seattle,
and next summer we intend to
iood the Fairbanks market with It
in opposition to the San Franclseo
goods if wo have to run it through
from Skagway in bond."

That some one of the many gam
blers who Invaded Skagsay In the
<!avs of the first Klondike rush
was endowed with a love of the
artistic was proved recently when
O. L. Diclteson, manager of the
White Paas ft Yukon Railroad, pur
chased a furnished house which hsd
i>een closed for several years, and
in it found two canvases by the
late Paul de Ixjngpre, the noted
French painter of flowers. The
paintings are valued at $1,600 to
$2,000 each
Hickeson regards his purchase aa
., rather lucky one. He paid $?.
"00. for the house as It stood, and
discovered that, besides the paint
ings, it contained about $15,000
worth of mahogany and antique fur
niture.
