RECIPROCITY
The visit of the coast folks to
Kenneeott and McCarthy last
Sunday, did more for tlie ad
vertising of this section of the
interior than anything that has,
been done before.
i
Availing themselves of the j
very cheap axcursion, not only <
baseball fans, but people in all
walks of life took the opportun
ity of seeing some of Alaska’s
most wonderful scenery and
making the aquaintance of those
who live in the hills.
The visit was just as thorough
ly enjoyred by the residents, &
we are all very glad indeed to1
see the Copper River & North
western Ry. Co. run these ex
cursions and hope they will
make them a yearly arrange
ment from now on.
But we certainly"felt the need
of the long promised trails when
our guests were here, as a large
number were desirous of see
ing the Nizina River, and were
unable to do so, as the automo
bile road is not completed far
enough to get a view of the river
and the old pack trail is now
practically impossible, as far as
I
| a pleasure ride is concerned,
It is only used by the long suf
fering packers & travellers who
are forced by necessity to use it.
Many hundreds of photos
i were taken by the visitors last
[ Sunday, who carried every kind
of camera, from a «raflex to a
brownie. The glaciers and
streams, also the many log build
ings, even the malamutes,
the local water carrier was snap
ped several times.
The cub reporter of the News
does not understand yet why
Cordova people were betting
i two to one at the end af the 3rd
innings when the score was in
favor of Kennecott 7 to 0
There was a nigger in the wood
pile alright.
Kennecott boasts some excel
lent megaphone artists, who
used their talents to some pur
pose during the progress of tlm
game last Sunday, and in some
instances succeeded in getting
the umpire’s goat.
The grand stands provided
for the ladies were very com
fortable and afforded a splendid
view of the game, but unfortu
nately there was no protection
from the glacier wind, and
every one felt the cold.
I
The clowns up in the sentry
box kept every one posted with
the score, through their mega
phones.
The lady fans from Cordova
kept up a running fire of en
couragement for their team, and
incidentally a like measure of
scorn for the players of the cop
per camp who had them guess
forthe first few innings.
The Pilo driver engine came
in very useful last Sunday, when
the excursion train was delayed
on the hill a couple of miles be
low McCarthy: the engine went
to its assistance, bringing in the
gala train with great eclat.
