ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL
According to advices received in
Alaska from steamship and railroad
agencies in Seattle and also in the
middle west, travel by tourists to
Alaska this summer is to be heavy,
heavier than for the past three years.
This travel is not only to be heavy
to Southeastern Alaska points hut to
the Southwestern Alaska points, Cor
dova, Valdez, Seward and Anchorage,
with many making the trip to the
interior. Within a few years the Al
aska tourist travel will be the great
est in the history of the Territory.
Many will perhaps say that the tour
ist is going to Europe and there wan
der over the battlefields. It is true
there will be much travel across the
Atlantic to view the scenes of con
flict in the recent world war, but this
travel is not going to be as*Targe as
many believe. Hardly a household in
the United States but has been hit
fev the war. This war is over and peo
ple want to forget it. Take for in
stance, practically any man or woman
A^ing to France. They will view the
places where Bill or John met his j
death. Here or there they will remem- i
feer that some bloody battle was
foBght. Other places they will re
member are where defenseless women
and children were outraged, then
•hot or bayoneted by the barbarious
Bun. Austrian or Bulgarian. None
#f these reminders will be plesant
•nes and as before said people want
to forget about the horrible war and
consequently will stay away from the
scene. With this in view, what bet
ter country is there to visit than
Alaska? As has been said, in Alaska ,
•oe has the scenery of Italy eclipsed
*nd the granduer of the Alps is sur- 1
passed. In time, when the govern
ment railroad is completed, tourists
<kui view from the observation cars
the bears, goats and moose in their
native wild, perhaps only a short dis
tance away. Hotels and resorts are
hound to be constructed and the
rugged country will be brought to
the doors of the comfortable hotel,
with all the conveniences of an east
ern watering place or summer resort.
Alaska is just beginning to come into
leer own as a tourist land.—Ex.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
The three tailors of Threadneedle I
street who issued a proclamation be-1
.ginning with “We, the people,” had
nothing on a bunch of fellows up at
?fhagway who have gone on record
by declaring the bone dry law a
menace to life, liberty and the pursuit
•f happiness.—Douglas News.
In mentioning the naval appropria
tion. that passed the house recently,
there was no mention made of the
million dollar appropriation for devel
opment of the government coal fields
in the Matanuska Valley, This was
»« doubt, merely an oversight on the
part of either congress or the Asso
ciated Press.—Anchorage Times.
Taldez was not frozen or blocked
with ice for two weeks or any time
*or that matter, as the Evans was
the only boat which refused to come
* t
into the bay on account of the ice,
the Alameda following her and mak
ing port without difficulty. And we
have never blamed Anchorage for
something which was clearly an act
©f God, who has no headuarters at
Juneau.—Valdez Miner.
Will the proposed Alaskan Devel
©pment Board, as mentioned in the
dispatches be another hellish stamp
of bureaucracy? Will the members of
it, three in number, be little tin gods,
their "Word law, right or wrong? Why
not go the limit and allow Alaska to
govern herself and give us a home
government without a commission

and without ‘“by your leave Mr.
Congress.”—Seward Gateway.
Senator New, chairman of the Sen
ate Committe on Territories, has in
troduced an Alaska Development
Board Bill in the Senate. He says
the measure is not perfect, that it is
subject to modifications, and that he
introduced it in order to get the mat
ter stared. Senator New’s plan was
the usual one adopted by experienced
legislators—the introducing of a bill
as the inauguration of legislation with
the purpose of perfecting it as the
hearings on it may disclose the ne
cessities and desirabilities.—Juneau
Empire.
