ADMIRAL EVANS; TOURIST SPECIAL
IS FINEST TRAIN OUT OF SEWARD
“We’re from Texas, and this is
our time to howl,” rang out on the
clear invigorating air of Seward this
morning, at 1:45 o’clock as the S. S.
Admiral Evans slowly drew up along
side of the Ocean terminal, bring to
Alaska, the first of the tourist par
ties under the supervision of Frank
Ileedy of the Reedy National Tours.
Over ‘JO tourists from all parts of
the Lone Star State of Texas, arrived
on the steamer Evans, chartered by
them, and following an early morning
automobile ride about the immediate
vicinity to points of interest, the party
boarded the palatial special train,
which arrived in Seward last evening
from Anchorage, and shortly after
8:00 o’clock'this morning, left for a
trip over the rapidly becoming famous
Alaska Railroad.
The first all-vestibule train to run
over the Alaska Railroad, left Seward
this morning for the Interior, carry
ing the Reedy National Tour party.
It is stated that every coach and car
attached to the train, was a**Vestibule
car, setting a precedent in trains for
this railroad. Conductor Sharpless
was in charge of the Special, the like
of which has never been seen in the
Territory.
Nothing has been left undone by the
management of the Railroad to make
this trip a note-worthy one for the
prominent and wealthy Texans who
compromise most of the party. Col
onel Landis, general manager of the
Alaska Railroad, is personally accom
panying them over the road.
The two large new steel coaches
which recently arrived here from the
States, were attached to the train.
These coaches are the last word in
excellence and in appointments. The
dining car, with dining car conductor
Ebberts in charge, with a capable
crew of assistants, assures the visi
tors of the best treatment possible in
this department. A special observa
tion car, full of large, comfortable
^ chairs from one end to the other, was
also attached. A remodeled baggage
car made over into a dance floor, is
a feature of the train, which will un
doubtedly reflect much credit to the
railroad. The “Kenai,” compartment
observation car, completes the magni
ficent train.
The sign artists of the railroad
shops have lettered in neat words on
the sides of the length of the “Kenai”
the words, “Reedy National Tours’”
