ALASKA VEGETABLES
VIEWED BY THRONGS
AT BIG EXPOSITION
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19—On
display in the Alaska exhibit in the
Palace of Transportation today is
an array of vegetables of this year’s
growth, brought from Tanana Val
ley, Alaska, which is within one
hundred miles of the Arctic Circle,
by the Pacific Coast Steamship
Company for exhibition during the
celebration of the 48th anniversary
of the purchase of Alaska, which
was held at the Exposition yester
day. Potatoes, one of which would
make a meal for a small family,
parsnips and carrots as large as
California grown turnips, which or
dinarily weigh sixteen pounds, and
cabbages as large as wash-tubs were
among the shipment. If any reader
is from Missouri, and feels that he
must be shown, he should visit
the exhibit and see the farm truck
grown beneath the Midnight sun.
On the way to San Francisco is
a shipment of fruit, also from the
Tanana Valley, consisting of straw
berries four inches in diameter; bule
berries which can only be com
pared with blackberries in size;
and cranberries which grow in such
abundance that a field of them has
the appearance of a scarlet cloud
floating near the earth. Literally,
tons may be gathered from a single
patch. Authentic reports give the
information thatcertain islands, ten
miles in length, off the coast of Al
aska are absolutely wild strawber
ry beds, and delicious red raspber
ries are found in abundance.
From May until September, there
is almost continuous day in this far
Northland, which, together with the
rich strata of soil above a lower
strata which is never free from ice,
is responsible for the rank vegeta
tion which carpets the hills and val
leys of Alaska. There is a gor
geous profusion of flowers during
the summer season, flowers whose
beauty and size make wild Cali
fornia blossoms look like dwarfs.
Forget-me-not’s twice as large as
the cultivated variety, daisies, ger
aniums, fleur de lis of enormous
size and rich coloring are among
the flowers of southern climes which
grow in wildest profusion beneath
the Arctic sun.
Columbia, the first Eskimo child
born in the United States who made
her first appearance on the wolrd’s
stage at the Columbia Exposition
at Chicago 22 years ago and who
was at this Exposition at its be
ginnig as a native dancer, will re
turn the first of November and re
main until December 4th.
The hostess of the exhibit is Mrs.
Mary E. Ilart, who is perhaps the
most thoroughly posted and best
known woman in Alaska, being ac
quainted with all the conditions and
resources and she answers gracious
ly all questions relating to the ter
ritory.
Note—From the above, one con
versant with the quality of vege
tables grown in Southeastern Alas
ka may well ask why wasn’t this
part of Alaska represented? The
answer 's not far fetched. Lack of
interest was all.
