you can almost see the grass grow.
The arctic poppy is of great size and
the pansies are twice as big around as
silver dollars. Our pansies have stems
three or four inches long. The panses
of Alaska grow to height of eight
inches and in such profusion that wide
sheets of many colors may line a walk
from the gate to the front door. Some
of the Fairbanks homes have lawns of
thick sod shaved like that of the White
House grounds in summertime. Blue
grass grows in the streets and white
clover is found in many places All
over the country there is a red top OF
the height of your waist and there are
other native grasses, the names OF
which l do not knoY Along the roads

been hauled, tim NY seed has fallen
and sprouted. 1t seems to grow well.
Most of the people of this cold part
of the world are dollhouse gardeners
and there is strife between families
as to which shall have the best and
earliest of vegetables. called upon
a lady last night who showed ME one
of her dollhouse tomatoes, weighing
three pounds, and a cauliflower from
her garden whose head was as big
around as the largest dinner plate. She
had lettuce as fine as any raised in
the south and rows of peas six feet
in height. with pods as big around as a
mans thumb. This woman has the
earliest potatoes in Fairbanks. She
told me how she raised them. Said
she:
II start my potatoes in the kitchen
a week or so before the frost goes out
of the ground. I take store box
and put a layer of earth on the bottom,
then q layer of potatoes cut as for
planting, and over that another layer
of earth to the depth of three inches.
Then comes another layer of potatoes
and another of earth and so on until
the box is full. The potatoes sprout
and grow roots. At the time for plant
ing l separate them carefully and put
them out in the garden. The vines
keep green all summer long and the
frost comes before they are dead Our
peas keep bearing until the first frost,
and our sweet peas bloom until then.
Rhubarb and horse radish only live
throughout the winter"
Leaving the garden, / went to the
chicken yard. AS we looked at the
fowls the woman said: 81 expect to
freeze 20 chickens for the winter. and
I shall have 20 or 80 to put out to
board. They will cost me n dollar
apiece from October until spring. The

This lighthouse, we are informed, was
llit of the stones of the old fort so gal
iantly captured on the night of July L.,
1873. by the daredevil Mad" Anthony
Wayne, who successfully stormed a fort
ress which the British deemed impre,,-
nable. and boosted of as "a little Gibral-

Point ran the boats of the Kings ferry

was occupied by military works to os-

Next, on the east bank, we come into
view, of Peekslkll. In LII the British
landed here and forced the retreat of a
small American force. 1t is now the
scene Of the summer encampment of va
riens regiments of the National Guard OF
New ork. The tents are lighted by cleo
tricity. and a large messhall has been
built fer the officers. PeelSslxill was the
summer home of Henry Ward Beecher
and Chauncey NJ. Depew was born here.
The scenery at this point is gorgeous and
has been likened to that of Lake Como
Indeed, it was somewhere about this
point that a Well known traveller claimed
that the Hudson was the equal. in that
respect, of any river in the world. and
he claimed to have been on most Of
them, if not all.
