CRUISE N !
TURE
President Wilson may be the first
chief executive of the nation to visit
Alaska. Rumor has reached Seattle
that President Wilson intends to take
the Mayflower via the Panama canal,
Pacific coast ports and on a cruise
in Alaska inside waters. It is said
President Wilson wants to see sev
eral important coast terminals in
Alaska as well as seek some place
where he can be assured of complete
| rest as well as be in American terr
itory.
Alaska has never been visited by a
president of the United States. Should
the tip prove correct and the presi
dent’s yacht cruise Alaska waters, it
would prove a great treat for the resi
dents of the North, who would flock
to the different ports for a first hand
view of the chief executive. In par
ticular would the Alaska natives stand
up and take notice. It is doubtful
if a single native could be prevailed
upon to work on his job if the pres
ident was within a hundred miles.
They would man their boats and go
to see the president. The Mayflower
could make the cruise from the Cali
fornia coast to Alaska and return in
about two weeks. Weather condi
tions are now ideal and with the
powerful wireless equipment the pres
ident could be in constant communica
tion with affairs of state.
