Although it is known that Port-j
land restaurants and hotels intend |
to boost the prices during the Elks !
convention week in that city, and j
the saroe practice has prevailed tn j
a number of the convention cities
of the country, those who intend
visiting o?tagway on July 6 and 7
have nothing to fear from that
source.
The chairman of the publicity
committee for the "191 J Celebra
tion" learning of certain rumo:s
which were being circulated regard
ing the prices for hotels and res
taurants in Skagway. and after
this investigation, he informed a
representative of this paper that he
found the rumors of a raise in pri
ces to be wholly without foundation.
He stated that he had culled at |
the Hoa#d of Trade Cafe, the l>ew- j
ey Cafe and Hotel, the Golden
Xorth hotel, the New Home restaur-!
ant and hotel, the Pack Train res
taurant, the Portland House and the
Pullen House, and the proprietors
of each of these places stated that
the usual prices would prevail.
Visitors to the celebration o?n
get meals ranging from 35c up tl? I
75c, and hotel accommodations,
from 50c per night to >2.00 accord
ing to the accommodations desired. ,
This spenks well for the res- '
taurant and hotels of Skagway, as
it is almost human nature to "tack
on a few" when the opportunity of
fer*. It Is *afe to say that the
meals and accommodations, con
sidering the quality, cannot be
duplicated in Seattle nt the same

About the buniest man In Rkag
w*r these days Is the president of
the White Pas* & Yukon Route,
and it was only after several at
tempt* had been made that a repre
sentative of this paper was able to
iret a chance to have a word with
him. ? 1
President 0. L. Dickeson stated
that he was mighty glad to be hack
once more in the northland, and
that he intended remaining until
late in September or earty in Octo
ber.
"The prospects for the future of
Alaska and the Yukon- are^ good,
aiul while thine* have not gone
along as smoothly as we would
liked to have h?,d them, we are not
at all discourag'fd," he said.
"The White Pass has assumed
an attitude in which it will stand
back of the development of the en
tire country contiguous to the rail
road" continued President Dlcke
son, "and with that Intention In
view, I have engaged the services of
J. L. McPhersor, a prominent min
ing engineer of Seattle, who will
establish a mining and developmen
department in connection with the
road, and whose services will be at
the command of all who ne*d them
free of any charge whatsoever.
"A. W. Brocl:. an expert traffic
man, formerly with the Burlington
route, as chief clerk to the traffic i
manager at Omaha, and for the
last few years, ireneral traffic man- !
ager of the American Linseed com- i
pany, has been employed by the
White Pass, and he will co-operate
with Mr. Mcpherson In so far as
the needs of ail resources and de
velopments from a truffle standpoint
are required,
"We mean to develop this coun
try. and in order to attain this end
we are tolns to reduce the price
of every commodity along the line
of our road, even though It be nec
essary for us te> go Into the mer
cantile business. We have reduced
the freight rated, but the price of
every commodity has remained the
same, and we ai*e goktg to correct
this," Mr. l>ick(?son continued. "I
am tired of haviilfc to stand all the
abuse which hall been heaped upon
the White l*ass on account of high
prices, and I am going to demon
strate that this !!? not caused by the
transportation charges but by the
merchants themnelves."
President I>iclteson stated that he
would discuss the work he has in
mind for the future development of
the country so that It could be
given to the people within a day or
so.
