Skagway Swain Woes Gal With First Auto

Ais fair in love and the auto tomobile building business. Or at least 1t was in the winter of 1904 05
 That was when Bobby Sheldon found himself on the wrong end of an eternal triangle in Skagway His competition had horse and fam cy rubber-tired carriage. fringe and all. with which to WOO his light Q love-and Sheldon found himself being showed out of the picture.
 So why not go his rival one bet ter and build horse1ess rubber tired carriage, fringe and all? And so Sheldon, then an operator for the Northwest Light and Power in the Lynn Canal city, went to work
 He was never seen without a copy of Popular Mechanics or some other homebuilding manual stick ing under his arm And after winter of study. Sheldon emerged with his one-cylinder "enfant ter rible.a which putted down the main street of Skagway as the uncrowned king of Alaska's wild frontier.
 The term "horseless carriage" was actually more appropos to Sheldon's car than the creations of some of the early auto builders in the States, since it actually had carriage wheels and miscellaneous wagon parts. The gas engine was salvaged from an old boat.
 Automobiles still fascinated Shell don when he was working for the Northern Commercial company in Fairbanks in 1913. And on June 29th of that year the whinny and catch If I model T Ford stirred Fair banksans from sleep for the first time. The first touring car in Alas ka.it was shipped by steamer from Seattle to Skagway. by railroad from skagway to Whitehorse, down the Yukon, and up the Panama
 The next month Sheldon took the Model T over the famed Richard son trail to Valdez. the present route of the Richardson highway. Two prominent Fairbanks prospectors, Jack Ferguson and Jack Roman. went along as passengers. The trip took three and a half days since the group had to wait until early morning 10 ford the gushing glacier streams at their lowest point streams which still raise havoc with traffic on the Richardson.
 Having gone from herseless car flage to touring car. the next step for Sheldon was bus which he operated in 1919. taking tourists on sightseeing tours. He and James l.. Galen of Cordova established the Richardson Highway Transporta- tion company, which they sold in 1925 to take over the concession at Mckinley park
 Sheldon was the only first class postmaster in second class pest office under the American flag until 1940 when he took the post of director of the Alaska Employ nnent Security Commission. He re- tired several years ago.
 The auto is now a museum piece st the University of Alaska.

in height at maturity that may
well be used around the modern
home. Taller-growing ones may
be used if kept within bounds
by regular pruning.
Because of this need for a
different type of shrub, there are
Ia number of new kinds being
Offered as we'll as dwarf forms of
the older species. AS indicated,
there are low-growing forms of
|arborvitae. false-cypress, yew,
Iazaleas, holly. rhododendron. etc.
However. it may take bit of
shopping to get those of the de-
sired habit of growth.
This change in home construc-
ton was not observed by the
nurSerymen in time. Also, it
takes several years longer to
grow the dwarfer forms to mer-
charitable size than the baby
forest trees that were so often
sold for landscape planting.
Exposure a Big Factor
AS is we'll known, the choice of
plants should be based upon the
exposure as we'll as upon the
moisture conditions. Shade-lov-
ing shrubs do not thrive in hot,
sunny situations, neither do the
sun-lovers perform satisfactorily
on the north side of a building.
Generally speaking, the broad
leaved evergreens. the yew, and
the hemlock are best adapted to
the shady situations. The juni-
pers, arborvitae, barberry, and
the deciduous shrubs do best in
full sun. But even so, most all
kinds will thrive in situations
exposed to the morning sun.
Only the TOUCHES will thrive
with the minimum of care along
a dry, western-facing wall where
the reflected heat makes plant
growth difficult.
Overhanging caves also COM
plicate this problem by cutting
of the rainfall from a substan-
tial area along the foundation
wall. II there is a pronounced
slope away from the house (and
there should be some), it is de-
sirable to prepare the soil care
fully so that the shrubs will
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-04-22

thrive. The addition of a gen.
erous quantity Of humus to the
soil about the plants will help
to overcome some Of this cur
|tailment of rainfall.
1t is important that the shrubs
be planted at least two feet from
the wall. Three feet is better il
the painting and other main
Itenance work is to be done with
out trampling the shrubs.
Some Smaller Types
There are only a few really

BY WILBUR H. YOUNGMAN

The modern home hugs the
ground and consequently the
selection Of shrubs for the foun-
dalton planting should be quite
different from those that are
used around the tall, upright
houses Of yesteryear.
The houses of a decade or SO
back had Easements. conse-
quently the first floors were
usually two or three feet above
ground level, thus there was
need for shrubs to hide the
foundation and to tie the house
to the ground.
The modern house may or may
not have a basement. 1t is quite
likely the first floor is not far
above ground level.
This major difference in type
Of construction means that the
choice of shrubs for the rambler
should be restricted to those that
are low-growing and preferably
Of spreading habit. The dwarf
Pfitzer juniper is a good example
Of the wanted type of growth.
Some of the low-growing azaleas
are also effective around such a
home.
No Need for MasSed Effect
Because the new home does not
have a masonry wall showing,
there is not the need for mass
planting Of shrubs that was so
common around the older houses.
Undoubtedly. this point will not
be too popular with some who
will need the space for all of the
many kinds of shrubs and Pc
rennials that they would like to
have. However, good taste pre-
scribes moderation. A bit of
grass between clumps of shrub
berry is desirable.
Even the accent shrubs at the
entrance as we'll as at the cor
ners Of the building should be
much smaller than the all too
commonly planted varieties of
arborvitae and false-cypress.
There are. however, dwarf vari-
cites of both of these species
which seldom exceed 4 to 6 feet
