DELIGHTED WITH
ALASKAN TRIP
HOSPITALITY OF ALASKANS IM
PRESS VISITORS—THIS DIS
TRICT IS SUPERIOR
ON GOLDEN BELT TOUR
Accessibility by Rail and Motor Will
Make Alaska Mecca for
World’s Tourists
“Alaska will be a mecca for tour
ists before many more years roll by,”
said Roy D. McCarthey, tour manager
of the Crabtree Travel Office of Oak
land, who arrived in Seward yester
day with a party of 12 tourists, com
pleting the rapidly becoming famous,
“Golden Belt Tour.” Continuing, Mr.
McCarthy said: “Members of this par
ty who have traveled extensively
abroad, are agreed that Alaskan sce
nery is far superior, particularly be
cause of the accessibility by rail or
auto, wherein this is not true at the
majority of the scenic places of Eu
rope.”
While in Seward the entire party
were motored out to Lake Kenai. The
beautiful scenic trip reminded many
of certain regions noted for their beau
ty in the States. Starting from Oak
land, California, upon arriving at
Portland numerous drives were made
over the Columbia highway. At Se
attle scenic points were visited and
out of Juneau the trip to the Menden
hall glacier thrilled them. From Fair
banks a trip to the Summit was made
but as the season is late, the mid
night sun could not be glimpsed, to
their disappointment. Referring to
the Richardson Highway trip, Mr.
McCarthy stated the roads are in ex
cellent shape and the party enjoyed
the long motor trip to the “heart of
Alaska.”
Last year the Crabtree agency sent
one party to Alaska. The present trip
concludes the second party taken thru
this year. Next year’s routing will be
entirely through this district of the
Territory, Mr. McCarthy stated, for it
is a much superior trip to that in
Southeastern Alaska. The outstand
ing feature noticeable to the people
comprising the party was the hospi
tality extended to them everywhere.
The meals which were served were
good, and “Really,” Mr. McCarthy said,
“they gave us portions ample in size
to suffice the heartiest eating dog
musher in the country.” The road
house experiences were most novel.
Included in the party are:
Mr. and Mfs. George Atkins, Wood
land; Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Fletcher, of
Sacramento; Mrs. John Clauss, Sac
ramento; Mrs. E. A. Whittaker, Oak
land; Miss Hester Nicholl, Oakland;
Master John Nicoll, Oakland; Miss
Agnes Lynn, San Jose.
STAMPEDER RETURNS
TO SEWARD FROM THE
VALDEZ CREEK STRIKE
Bruno Ogostino, who returned to
Seward two months ago from the
reputed gold stampede in the Cassiar,
and whose story published in the
Gateway was the first authentic
news brought out from the region by
an oldtimer of the Territory, in
which he stated it was a myth, re
turned to Seward yesterday from the
Valdez creek stampede. Ogostino
says the Interior district is good and
as proof of the district’s worthiness
brought back a flash of nuggets
which he panned from his claim. He
is in Seward on business matters.
The Admiral Watson of the Pacific
Steamship Company is scheduled to
arrive in Seward tomorrow from the
westward. The vessel will sail at 9
p. m. for the south, connecting with
tomorrow’s train from the interior.

ing to be good sailors. The Pioneer
