TENTATIVE PLANS FOR THE PRESIDENT'S ALASKAN TRIP:
^resident Harding Has not yet settled definitely
the itinerary of his proposed trip to Alaska.The President and
Mrs.Harding intend to visit Florida, in May,following the ad
journment of Congress,as Mrs.Harding's health has been poor.
When she is sufficiently recuperated,the Alaskan trip will be
undertaken*
The President’s yacht, the ''Mayflower”, will be sent
through the Panama danal,it is believed,to meet the party at Se
attle, Wash. Tie yacht, with the Connander-in-Chief aboard, will
cone up the Inside Passage to Juneau,making a probable stop at
Ketchikkn, and probably visiting Cliilkoot 3arracl:s and Skagway.
From here it is presumed the party will go on to Cordova, and
thence to Seward. In all probability a special train will carry
the presidential party the entire length of the railroad to Fair
banks, and the ’’Mayflower” will noet then again at Anchorage, and
proceed directly to Seattle*

Alaska will be flooded with the largest
tide of tourist travel in her history during the coning summer,
according to Col*Frederick Mears,quoted in a iispatch to the Seat
tie Times from Vashington,D.C#,where Col#Mears now is on offic
ial business# Completion of the railroad,the President1^ visit,
and the prosperous condition of the country are given as the rea**
sons for the anticipated big tourist season#
