Several members of the Congres
sional party expressed surprise this
morning when informed (hat the har
bor at Seward never froze over and
that at no time within the pas* two
years was the mercury lower than
zero. While several members, nota
bly the distinguished gentlemen from
Arizona and Mississippi shivered in
the raw, damp atmosphere, the Min
nesota and Dakota members felt ithor
oly at home. If no other result is at
tained congress will undoubtedly be
shown that Alaskans do not wear furs

Capt. L. C. Parsons, head of the
Alaska-Washington Telegraph and
Cable system in this district, while on
a ride out the forestry road this week
expressed considerable surprpise over
the number of small ranches doltiug
Resurrection valley. ‘The govern
ment should adopt Jim Hill’s system
when the Great Northern settled up
vast districts in the Dakotas,” said the
Captain, ’’and transport every farmer
and his cow to Alaska, free of charge
in order to encourage development.”
Alaska should be self supporting and
raise her own vegetables and cere
als.”
Tourists can nowT take the Govern
ment railroad to Nenana, take the
government steamers to Holy Cross,
and make the round trip down the
mighty Yukon, one of the largest riv
ers on the continent. Or they may
buy a ticket here good for the round
trip from Seward to Cordova, by way
of Chitinia. The commission is cater
ing stronglv to the tourist trade and
their efforts will undoubtedly greatiy
to the revenue of the railroad.
It is deeply regretted that, the con
gressional party happened to arrive
at a time when the weather is gen
erally bad along all sections of the
Alaska railway. A week ago or a few
days later the sun may be shininc
and the country look better f<he
shower bath it has experienced.
