Yukon Territory Residents
Warn Tourists About
Lower River Service
Once again the complaint is heard
by incoming Seward arrivals from
the interior that in making the trip
in from Skagway they have been told
at various points in the Yukon Ter
ritory that no accommodations for the
down-river trip to Nenana could be
secured with the added suggestion
that it would be best if they returned
over the White Pass railroad to Skag
way.
As a consequence, according to at
least three tourists who related the
above facts to a Gateway representa
tive, there were many disappoint
ments met with by those wrho desired
to make the trip and especially by
those who, when arriving at Dawson
discovered to their dismay that the
lower river service was in operation.
Prior to A1 Blair’s departure for
Nuka Bay last week his dory which
was tied up af the city float and
loaded down with his complete out
fit was swamped in some manner and
{everything lost.
Anchorage Physician Says
Dr. Roberts X-ray is an
Asset to the Community
While at the Alaska Railroad hospi
tal at Anchorage last week, where he
was sent by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Jack Prosser of Seward, to have his
broken arm set, young Dick Prosser
says Dr. J. B. Beeson congratulated
his father on the splendid temporary
task of bone-setting Mr. Prosser did,
also for the original good splint he
made for his son’s arm, until such
time he arrived at the hospital.
Dr. Beeson also expressed his sur
prise at the fine X-ray photographs
taken of the broken member by Dr.
A. R. Roberts of Seward. Dr. Beeson
said he did not know there was such
a modern machine in Seward and that
the people of this -city were fortunate
in having a man of the type of Dr.
Roberts in their community.
