THE TOURIST TRAFFIC
The tourist traffic through Seward
the year just ending, has been of
treat value to Alaskans, many thou
sands ot dollars being left in this city
by round-trip visitors. The statement
by Carl Folsom that his company
would biing 1,000 tourists to the Val
ley oi Ten Thousand Smokes next
jear, is a very conservative one,
when we realize that California agen
cits report that at least three thou
sand more tickets could have been
sold io Alaska, had transportation
been available.
In a short space oi time Alaska will
be the Mecca ot tourists now spend
ing their summers at the imitation
resorts in the East, where one's cliiet
amusements are changing clothes,
horseback riding, and silting on a ve
randa. commenting on other guests.
Alaska has more to offer than an> oi
the iamous resorts in the Adiron
dacks and White Mountains. Its lofty
peaks have never been scaled by man;
its tremendous glaciers never explor
ed; many ot its streams never whip
ped by a fly. Trout, grayling and
whjtehsh abound, and splendid wild
game pictures may be had.
1 ht summer climate alone «iu
compensate the tourist tor the trip
to the Northland. The days are just
right, and the nights are fairly cool,
making ior resuul sleep and a pleas
urable outing.
Alaska is just realizing the value of
th< tourist, and another season will
tee extensive preparations made to
entertain and hold their interest.
With the road finished to a point
opposite the Primrose mine on Kenai
Lake, we look for the establishment
ot a large summer colony at this just
ly tamous body of water. The lake
affords tine boating, being 23 miles in
length, and the fishing and scenery
are incomparable. Instead of hitching
your wagon to a star, hitch your lit
tle railer behind Lizzie and spend
the Sabbath at Kenai.
^oj}-tne finest gaiden^ we ha\e
Seen in Alaska are to be found in 'lie
\ieiniiy of Kenai Lake. At Mile 23
Nellie Neal supplies her tables the
\ear around with fresh vegetables,
and every imaginable vegetable is tc
be found in profusion on the lowei
Lase and Kenai river.
This is the season of the year wher
fish piracy stories come from tht
press of southeastern Alaska. It i;
more than likely that the pirates art
engaged in the cannery business.
Governor Scott C. Bone denies the
report emanating from the Seattle
Daily Times that he contemplated re
signing his office and returning East.
Governor Bone has made one of the
best officials the Territory has ever
had and it would be a calamity on a
par with the death of our late presi
dent, to lose him.
Just as soon as Seward comes out
with a story of a strike being made
assaying $5,000 per ton, Valdez comes
out and goes us one better. We see
we did not set our figures high
enough at the start.
To the tired business man who de
sires an economical and pleasant va
cation, we recommend a trip to lower
Kenai lake. How so many fine gen
tlemen chanced to gather in one spot
is beyond us, but we accept the situ
ation as it is, and advise their culti
vation by Sewardites. The residents j
of the lower lake district are all in a I
prosperous condition and have plent> j
oi the coin of the realm to winter on, j
which is more than many sections of j
the Territory can boast of.

GOVERNOR SMALL OF
ILLINOIS IS RADICAL
CHICAGO, August 25—Following a
political rally held yesterday at Kan
kakee, the home town of Governor
Small, political observers declared the
state of Illinois is giving promise of
rivalling Minnesota and Iowa in radi
calism, from the policies advocated
there. Addressing the gathering Gov
ernor Small announced that he would
seek re-nomination on the Republican
ticket, and he endorsed the program
adopted by the meeting. This declar
ed for the repeal of the Esch-Cum
mins Act, for no entangling alliances
without the approval of the people
through referendum, no declaration of
war except through referendum of the
people unless the country is invaded,
and the popular election of Federal
judges.
GHOSTLY LOOK 0IE5
CHICAGO, Aug. 24.—This is the
story of an ectiplasm that scaled off
and deals with vicissitudes of Edgar
Jones, a negro whose occupation is
the peddling of ice.
“Mistah” Jones was attempting to
deliver a ten pound block of ice to
a resident and upset a pan of red hot
peas, which poured over his head.
Mrs. Kay Jones also used a rolling
pin vigorously on his head. Someone
telephoned to his wife that his head
was hurt and she understood them to
say he wras dead, so she hung up the
receiver and dashed for the life insur
ance office.
Meanwhile a sympathetic neighbor!
plastered the negro’s head with a
preparation that turned dazzling -white
when dry. He arrived home by gas
light and his wife took one look and
fainted. A policeman rushed in and
started to club Jones. His wife re
vived and took another look at him.
“Why, it’s Edgah. He ain’t no!
ghos.’—whuffo yo’ beatin’ up mah lov-.
in’ husban’,” she cried and drove the
policeman from the building.
She returned her insurance money.
