OLD TIMERS GOING OUTSIDE
Many old timers are aboard the
steamships these days, en route to
the States, some for the first time
since arriving in the Territory, and
others making their annual pilgrim
age to the white lights and warmer
climes of the southern states. And
for this we may thank the railroad,
that common carnet penetrating the
ncart ot Alaska and linking it to the
Coast with bands ot steel. Before
this important artery of travel was
completed the traveller to the Coast i
from the Interior to the Coast by dog j
team, at a maximum of expense and j
a minimum of comfort. So great was j
the expense that many oldtimers pre-l
ferred to remain ins:ie and dream of j
home and fresh vegetables rather j
than undergo the risk and expense of j
the journey.
Today all is changed. The pictur
esque dog team has been replaced by
steam-heated, electric-lighted, commo- J
dious Pullman cars; the taxi has tak
en the place of the gee-pole. After
reaching the railroad the traveller
can loll back upon the cushions and
watch the frozen scenex-y with the
same satisfaction he would a plate of
beans at a Lucullus feast. Upon
reaching the coast one steps aboard j
a palatial steamship, and after a shoxT
pleasure trip lands in the port where j
Seattle Spirit is dispensed as lavishly j
as graft in the police department, j
Those of us who remember the old
Excelsior, the Santa Ana, the Sena-:
tor, the Saratoga and the dozen and
one small, uncomfortable vessels of I
the early nineties, can realize the j
magnificence and comfort of the
present day boats.
It formerly cost $150 to $200 to :
get from Fairbanks to Seward and
required nearly a month’s time. To
day the trip is made for $28.50 and
two days’ time.
Is it any wonder that every old
timer takes advantage of the cheap
rates and goes Outside. Of course
they return in the Spring, but we
doubt very much if the pleasure they
realize from, the trip is as great as
the anticipation.
Conditions change with the rest of
us. „
