ERICANS LIVE,
LOCAL VISITOR FROM AMERICAN
FALLS, IDAHO, WOULD LIKE
TO REMAIN
Mrs. Eva Beach Smith, a visitor in
Seward for the last two weeks, is
the author of the following article in
which she describes quite interesting
ly, Alaska impressions.
The article.
“In Alaska a great number of people
know my little home town of Ameri
can Falls, Idaho is on the map. They
also know the government chose this
place to build a huge dam and the
pretty little town will soon be a stor
age lake for irrigation uses.
“We citizens had to sell our homes
or move them to a new townsite,
away from our green lawns, flowers
and trees. The question "was, should
we move or seek a new location?’ I
decided to look Oregon and Alaska
over before deciding. At the Yu
kon dock in Seattle, I had the plea
sure of meeting Dr. Whiting and
during our 'conversation I expressed
my feeling of being a trifle uneasy
going so far away; it seemed to me
I was leaving America. He replied,
‘The fact is you are now going where
the real Americans live, the best
Americans we have live in Alaska.’
We then talked of Rex Beach and his
wonderful books, his keen mind to
see into the depth of the things need
ed by the Alaskan people. At the end
of our visit, I was eager to get one
glimpse inside the Gateway of Al
aska.
“My trip on the Yukon was very
pleasant. The stewardess was a very
efficient woman, and made everything
pleasant for me during the entire voy
age. At Ketchikan, I was sorry to
part with Mrs. Mitchell, a lumber
man’s wife who told me many fine
things of interest about the town and
the points of interest to see during
the time the boat was to stay at the
dock.
“The canneries proved to be very
interesting.
“At Juneau I went to the top of
Capitol Hill. The view is one never
to be forgotten, the boats going up
and down the beautiful bay and the
most gorgeous sunset I have ever
witnessed.
“At Cordova the stewardess and I
went ashore to have a look at Cor
dova which impressed us very much.
We followed a path up into the woods
and picked blueberries. We met the
boat barber who was tending his pri
vate garden spot where he raises
flowers for Olie Olsen’s grave. This
started me to gathering speci
jmens to send home to my mother
Martha E. Beach who is now trying
to start a new yard in the town of
American Falls, Idaho. So I expect
to see Alaska ferns and shrubbery
growing there when I return. At the
top of this woodland path above Cor
dova is a beautiful lake. Water lilies
ferns, and green moss are growing
along the edge of the water. As you
descend the view is magnificent thru
openings in the green trees where
you could see the beach, the beauti
