Note theBerry, Gentle T ourist
One of tbe things that attract vast 1
attention on the part of the crowd of j
tourists iD the city today and mo*t im- j
possible of belief of all the strange
things tbey saw and were told, was tbe
Alaskan strawberries on display at the
stores. Alaskan strawberries as large as
Euglish walnuts on display just as a ;
matter of course? they all smiled in
credulously. But it is true, gentle :
tourist. These berries just now to be !
seen at tbe stores oome from the vicin- :
ity of Haines ? just fourteen miles
down tbe channel, and as pretty a
town and neighborhood as is to be seen
out doors.
Perhaps you have not 9een the cur
rants?of wbioh the people of Skagway
have been "puttiog op" bu9hel9 and
boshels. The currents are wild and
| grow upon the hill sides everywhere
i about Skagway so luxuriantly as to
; make of the gathering a pleasant pic- i
nio. Wild raspberries are just now
: "coming iu" and the picking of theso
pick nickers will turn their attention
shortly. Oh yes, gentle tourist, you
who have been taught that nothing
grows up here but the Muir glacier,
these things are hard to believe but
they are true. No where on earth does
the buckle or "blue" berry grow as it
does aloDg the coast of Alaska. The
salmon berry is a wonder for produc
tion and beauty. As for the strawberry,
those that yoa see are cultivated but
they grow in abundance at many
places wild. These are among the
things you should know about Alaska,
gentle tourist.? Skagway Alaskan.
