ALASKA NELLIE
For 30 vrars trains from Sow

and tourists from the ships land
ing in the port city, have made
a regular stop at Lawing on
Kenai Lake. Here is the best col
lection of Alaskan historical ob
jects and game trophies in the
Territor\ outside the museum
in Juneau. Many trophies were
killed by "Alaska Nellie," Mrs.
Nellie Lawing, herself. This
spot is easily the most famous
spot in Alaska and best remem
bered by thousands of tourists
who have visited the country
during the years.
Last week Kenai Lake rose
to the highest point ever re
membered and the museum,
along with a warehouse build
ing. were inundated. Two feet
of water covered the floor of
the trophy room.
Mrs. Lawing lives alone, but
railroad men working on the
section nearby helped remove
the largest bears and a huge
stuffed lion to safety. The little
log building suffered little ac

tual damage except to the floors.
It will be a monumental task,
however, for the famous little
lady to restore the museum
without help. Friends from Sew
ard will help restore Alaska
Nellie’s museum after the water
has gone down—eight inches
still covered the floor Tuesday
evening.
When history books are writ
ten and travel reminiscences of
Alaska become common, Alaska
Nellie will be the outstanding
figure symbolizing the Kenai
Peninsula. She has entertained
presidents and ambassadors, sen
ators and sea m c n. She will
never be forgotten, but she
should not be neglected now
when she needs help.
“As long as I can stand on
my own two feet," she declared
defiantly, “I will fight for Al
aska’s biggest trophy collection.”
Mrs. Lawing will celebrate
her 80th birthday July 5. She
plans to come "to town" to cele
brate and see all her friends.
She is greeted and regarded with
affection, an absolute type of
Alaska pioneer woman, and pe
culiarly Seward’s own.
A daughter was born to Mr.
and Mrs. George Naumann in
Seward General Hospital July 2.
The little girl weighed 7 pounds
2 ounces. She was named Judy
Ann. This is the second child
for the Naumanns. They also
have a boy.

Cordova Airlines Uses
The Family Plan
For Weekend Fares
aviation history, the Family
For the first time in Alaskan
Plan Fare has been inaugurated
by an Alaskan Air Carrier. New
low, weekend rates were an
nounced by Merle K. Smith,
president of Cordova Airlines.
Patterned after the success
ful plans in the domestic United
States, the Cordova Airlines
Family Plan provides fifty per
cent discounts to all members
of the same family when travel
ing with one full-fare member.
Children under two years con
tinue to be carried free, but
now all children under 21 years
of age are carried at half fare.
For instance, from Anchorage
to Cordova a husband will pay
$13.00 plus tax and his wife and
all children over two years of
age will pay $6 50 plus tax.
These new low fares arc good
from midnight Thursday to mid
night Monday of the following
week.
The purpose of these new
fares, according to Mr. Smith,
is to encourage family travel
on the weekends when business
travel has hertofore fallen off.
It is hoped that more family
travel can be encouraged to
the interesting “Seaport Cities,”
Seward, Valdea and Cordova,
served by Cordova Airlines in
deluxe DC-3 equipment.
Mr. Smith also announced
that Cordova Airlines exper
ienced in May its greatest traf
fic during any May in its twenty
year history. One thousand reve
nue passengers were carried
over the lines’ extensive route
system.
