been for several days.
Speaking of the efforts being made
by the Seward Commercial Club to
attract prospectors going to the Idit
arod, to take the Seward route, Mr.
Kennedy said; "Skagway should take
a leaf out of their book and get busy
and let the people know that if Sew
ard lias the winter route, Skagway
surely has the summer route, and the
most feasible way to get into that
region with supplies. It will not doj
, to wait until spring but now is the
| time to do it.
"Every boat for the westward tliat
docks at Juneau is loaded down with
passengers heading for the Iditarod
and the rush will be greater next
spring. We should have our route
well advertised. Also Skagway is the
best equipped town in the country for
the miner to outfit in as our merch
ants are familiar with the needs aiid
carry the stocks."
Thos. Tugwell, the mayor of Log
Cabin, came over Tuesday and spent
Thanksgiving with friends in Skagway
