THE ALASKA ROAD HOUSE
From a Temporary Structure It
Grows to Be the Basis of a
V illage Settlement.
Road houses in Alaska were once
considered but temporary shelters.
They were put up without much re
gard to stability and the accommoda
tions were of the crudest kind. W hen
all Alaska began to come to the front
and the demand for houses increased,
competition brought about a change
for the better in both the structure of
the house and the accommodations af
forded. Now a number of road houses
along the trails and wagon roads are
carrying a good sized stock of general
merchandise. Many ot the road
houses have gardens where in summer
the owner of the house raises the
vegetables that supply his customers.
The road house tilted out with mer
chandise furnishes a handy depot of
supplies for the miner and prospector.
They form the basis for what will in
many instances grow into small settle
ments and villages which may be
easily reached by men from the neigh
boring mining cam ps. The road house
in Alaska came into existence to meet
the scanty necessities of the travelers
passing over long stretches of country,
and have increased in equipment and
convenience to suit the growing needs
of the rapidly developing country.
