ALASKA ANNOUNCES
ITS R MELONS

Seattle, Sept. 25.-DawSon and Fair
banks. are the big civic rivals of the
northtand. Both expect to ave a great
exhibit in the -Aiaska-Yukon-Pacifc ex-
position here in 1908, and the exhibit Of
each viii zoe assembled with the view
of showing the Worid that it surpasses
it's northland rival in trade, gold pro-
dHcsI in the vicinity, climate and in
fact every other phase of nature and
line of eudeayor by which men are
wont to judge Il city.
Ii is natural the linlati rivalry
should Zoe bitter. Both cities are sit
uated a few miles north OF the Ga degree
OF north latitude and there is yet a
question as to which is the most north
ern.
Each has enjoyed this summer a par
tiGular triumph, in the matter of vege-
table growtbs. About Il month ago Gus
Johnson, Of d. Wson, produced several
fire ears of corn which he announced
had been grown in Il Dawson garden
ard were the first ever grown in the
northland. The Dawson newspapers
took this UP and demonstrated how
mild a summer climate Dawson had
:.nd how thai wen delicate southern
corn could be grown there. Fairbanks
CRASHED it's teeth with jealousy and
muttered, wait"
NOW 81 month later it was Fairbanks
turn to crow. Tor Paul Rickert. of that
city, Il. gardener, announced he had i'm
his garden some fine large Watermelons
on the point of ripening. Next day they
were sc'l for fabulous sums, for they
were undoubtedly the first melons ever
grown ia either Ataska or Yukon.
