To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Baled hay can be readily obtained for winter forage. Water supplies for j)osts are unexcelled in the numerous mountain streams emanating directly from glaciers and snowbanks on the high hill-tops, and nearly all of these can be dammed at altitudes that would give ample reservoir for fire or sprinkling purposes or to conduct water through a post by a system of pipes. Such methods have already been used in the salmon canneries lately erected in this part of Alaska. Wood is plentiful and fuel shou...ld be obtained as reasonable as at any post in the department proper. Yellow cedar and Sitkan spruce, or balsam fir, is in ample quantities for timber, and a portable saw-mill would save considerable in the construction of a post in furnishing rough lumber, which is expensive from the high rates of freight to this part of the Territory. Coal has been found but not in proper quantity or quality. While the hardier varieties of vegetables can be grown here with a little harder labor than in more temperate climates, I think that, in gen- eral, post gardens will be found to be failures, the limited areas of fertile soil, the ready access to Portland and Puget Sound markets, at much cheaper rates, and the uncertainty of success in a garden from year to year determining this.
