WHAT F. CARPENTER
SAYS OF KETCHIKAN
A DESCRIPTION OK OCR TOWN
BY THE NOTED WRITER
It will be remembered that Frank
G. Carpenter, the noted writer, who
last summer in company with his
daughter, made a tour of Alaska for j
the purpose of obtaining materials
for a series of articles which he
contemplated writing about the
North, stopped in Ketchikan for a
few days where he was entertained
| and visited every point of interest.
The first article which appears in
the Sunday edition of the I'ost
Intelligencer of the ninth, the writ
er. in part, says of Ketchikan:
‘‘I am in Ketchikan, the first
‘ port at which our steamers call in
c-niering Alaska. It is at the south
ern end of the Fan-handle, that
si rip of islands and mainland at the
. lower end of our territory that
seems to he cut, as it were, out of
British Columbia. The Pan-handle
larging just above Skagway near the
pass over the mountains to the
Klondike and Dawson, and it ex- j
tends for more than 300 miles. It |
consists of many large islands and j
a strip of mainland about thirty j
miles wide which runs from the j
Pacific ocean to the crest of the
Coast mountain range, the whole:
. making a territory as big as South
Carolina. This district is known as
Southeastern Alaska. It has its
own climate, its own vegetation and
its own peculiar products and re
u'.nrces. It is covered with green
from one year's end to the other
and it differs from the great inter
ior as much as Maine differs from
Florida. I shall be traveling with
in it for some weeks to come.
The town of Ketchikan lies not
far from the international boun
dary- It is only forty miles north
of the Portland Canal and within
six hours’ sail of Prince Rupert,
the terminus of the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway, and the port which
the Canadians expect to make the
gateway to the shortest route to i
Japan and the Orient.
Ketchikan is as far north of Seat
tle as the distance between New
York and Toledo. I sailed for more
than 500 miles through Canadian |
waters before I came to the boun- j
dary of Alaska, and from there
made my way in and out among the
islands to Revilia Gigedo, on the
shores of which Ketchikan lies.
The trip took me more than two
days and the fare was -?22.
The town is situated on the
.-curhern shore of Revilia Gigedo
island, in a region where the sal
mon come in great hordes every
summer and near banks from which
are taken the most of the halibut
that goes from Alaska to the
United States and to Canada. Re
vilia Gigedo is about as large as
Porto Rico. It is fifty miles long
and twenty miles wide and is made :
up of mountains which for much of
the time have their heads in the j
clouds.
Ketchikan lies right on the water.
The mountains raise in green walls
behind it. Their tops are sprinkled
with snow, and the great rocks
show out through the evergreen
tree:- that cover their sides. The
house; are built on the rocks. The,
harbor is the shape of a halfmoon
. prote~' :d by islands. It has no1
' beach o speak of and the business
pan of the town rests upon piles.
The streets are planked roadways
upon posts, and much of the freight
is carried about o ntrucks and carts
pushed by men. There are several j
drays hauled by horses, but horses
j are unpopular, for their shoes
roughen the planks, and they shake .
the town as they trot through the ,
streets. Of late automobiles and
: motor delivery trucks have come in
and these will probably be the fu
1 tare traffic conveyors.
The residence section of the city
; is located on the sides of the cliff 1
i higher up. It is so steep that von 1
have to climb stairways to reach
certain streets while other streets
have winding roadways of boards
upon which slats have been nailed j
to the planks to keep one from slip- \
ping. The Ketchikaners make you
think of tree dwellers, who have to j
climb ladders to get to their homes.!
The best houses are high on the
cliffs far above the harbor. Thev !
! seem to grow out of the rocks. 1
Nevertheless, some have little patch- j
es of garden, although the soil has
| to be sprinkled with gold dust to!
make them.
Nevertheless Ketchikan has some I
beautiful gardens. The most of
the homes are frame cottages, and
nearly every one has its little lawn j
with bushes and flower?. Some ofj
the citizens raise vegetables and
berries. In the garden of H. %
Strong I saw raspberry bushes as
high as my shoulder, which gave
. him all the fruit he can eat for more
than two months during the summer
The berries are large and of a
fine flavor, and they never become
mushy when ripe. Ketchikan also
grows currents and salmon .berries,
and it has as many beautiful flow
ers as t section of the same size in
Seattle or Portland. It is a wet city,
and the moisture is such that the
plants will grow on the rocks with
r:o soil to speak of.
Ketchikan has excellent stores,
