File:Lumber yard, Skagway, Alaska, 1897 (LAROCHE 151).jpeg

English: Caption on image: "Lumber yard, Skaguay." "Lumber yard, Skaguay. The plentiful supply of timber in the neighborhood of Skaguay will furnish material for some big industries when the growing population makes demand. At the time this photograph was taken there was a large amount of lumber stored in the yards, and this shows one of the principal ones where a considerable business was being done. Skaguay is a lively town and the growth during the fall of 1897 was remarkable. And when it is remembered that a railroad over the White Pass is not only contemplated but surveys are being made, it will be seen that the inhabitants are justified in praising the town. It is said that the railroad will be completed this year." (Frank La Roche, En Route to the Klondike, 1898)
