BEING THE ADVENURES OF
A NEWCOMER IN ALASKA
WHO AT PRESENT IS WAND
ERING AT LARGE IN THE
MOOSE PASS, HOPE AND
SUNRISE DISTRICTS
Thursday morning the Chechako
again took his pack and proceeded
i
toward Hope. Now there was not
even a wagon road, and about a quar
ter of a mile the other side of Sun
rise he “hit the trail.” The new
road had been graded in places, but
in other stretches the right-of-way
had only been cleared of standing tim
ber, and the trail was perhaps the
better place to travel. Up hill and
down, it went, sometimes in mud
ankle deep, sometimes across fallen
trees, and again through a stream
that could be crossed only by wading
through the icy water. Now the Che
chako began to appreciate the diffi
culties of travel in the early days of
Alaska; he could understand why the
prices of supplies in the mining camps
in the interior was sky-high, for tra
vel over a trail was back-breaking,
muscle-torturing labor. The Good
Roads movement had gained another
staunch supporter.
At Camp 2 he stopped again to meet
the men engaged in construction. Joe
McGerr was in charge of the culinary
department, and John Lawson was
second in command. For the fifth
time since he had started his travels,
in as many different camps, the Che
chako was told by one of the men
that their camp had the best cook
on the force. In fact, to determine
which of them was the best would
be as difficult as judging a baby
beauty contest.
But the Chechako did not tarry long
at Camp 2; he hastened on to Hope,
still following the trail. Now the
trail passed close to the waters of
Turnagain Arm, and then it crossed
a belt of charred timber, devastated
by a fire several years before. At
last he saw the mud flats ahead, and
then the pretty village of Hope. On
the main street of the village he saw
a sign, “Georg© Roll, Merchant.” He
unfastened his pack and stopped.
Mr. Roll was occupied with his gar
den, as is usual at this time of the
year. It was a beautiful garden,
large and well kept. At one side stood
an apple tree, still covered with fruit,
one of the few apple trees in Alaska.
There were tomatoes too, some of
which had been raised outdoors, the
first time this had been accomplish
ed in Hope. Mr. Roll was especially
happy that day, for he had just re
ceived notice that his vegetables had
won sixteen prizes, amounting to $26,
at the Anchorage fair. And Mrs. Roll
related, with a touch of pardonable
pride in her voice, how Mr. Roll had
been the first man to experiment with
the raising of vegetables in Alaska
29 years ago. The territory owes much
[to the merchant-gardener of Hope.
But Hope is famous for its gardens.
Mr. E. E. Carson, the local post
master, is another enthuiastic garden
er. Vegetables submitted by Mr.
Cafson at the Anchorage fair were
awarded nine prizes, amounting to
more than twenty dollars. One of
Mr. Carson’s apple trees was loaded
with apples this year, but most of
them had been picked. Unfortunately
three of Mr. Carson’s trees had been
killed by rabbits this last Spring, un
doing the labor of several year’s care
ful nursing.
Now the Chechako turned his steps
toward the Mathison mine. Placer
mining was something the Chechako
had never seen, and here was an op
