Skagway is to have a park? as pretty
a park as is to be found in any town on
the coast. The Skagway Elks are to
provide it. It is not to be a big park
but It 1* to be a beauty, and, like
the famous wound of Mercutio, which
was not as wide as a barn door, "it will
serve."
In a word the E'ks have carried out
a plan which rhey have bad coming
along toward maturity for a bng time.
Th?y have purchased the property ly*
lag between their building on Sixth
street and the Pullen house property,
known as the old Moore homestead.
The property covers 220 feet froot on
Sixth avenue and 120 feet baek.
There Is on the property two build
ings, one of which fronts out to Sixth
avenue and was of the bunch of build
ings formerly used as barracks for the
soldiery, but which has been vacant
fur some time and the partners of
which have oeen rolled out to Broad
way to go into modern service. This
remaining budding is to pushed up to the
Eiks' building and left there until the
Best People need it for extension to
their club and lodge rootrs. The other
is a residence which is to be taken I
away, leaving a nice expanse of open
ground, which Is to be made to bloom
and blossom as Skagway'8 park.
Through this ground, as everybody
knows, runs a stroam. This stream is
to be walled up after the manner of tbat
at the hospital and made attractive ?
more attractive than it is. A tennis
court is to be installed and croquet
grounds. Otherwise the place Is to bo
planted with flowsra, shrubs and vines
and made a delight to the eye. The
: street and walk la front are to be
j dressed up la keeping of course.
i The purchase? from Phil D. Snyder?
was completed today. The Elks raised
j the money la a few days, within their
membership, once the move was de
cided upon, and the deed was placed on
file today. The trustees acted for the
? order. Work will be begun at once
upon the improvement and all this that
has been set forth will be seen here
completed this summer? a beantiiul
little park in Skagway. The grounds ,
will be open to the public although the '
privilege of play on the croquet and
tennia grounds will be reaerved to mem
bers and their ladles.
