BROTHER MAYO OFFICIAL
? Returning to This District In Thret
Years for an Extended Vaca
tion They Say
“You bet we’ll be back.” exclaimed
Mr. and Mrs. Harry M. Schellings
of De Ruyter, N. Y„ at the Van Gil
der hotel the other day to a Gateway
' representative, in reply to a query as
to whether they enjoyed their Alas
kan tour and if they would come back
for a visit again. “The country is hard
to describe, Mr. Schellings continued,
for it excells any scenics we have
ever visited, and we have seen prac
) tically all of them.
- Courtesy Extended Everywhere
“We people from the East are not
used to having employes and train
men explain and point out to us the
various attractions of interest as the
[ train rolls along. That is why the
splendid courtesy of the railway men
■ on the Alaska Railroad, and also the
courtesy extended to us on the river
boats coming down from Dawson, then
up to Nenana, struck us so forcibly.
In the East amidst the bustle and
hustle of everyday life, there appa
rently is little time to do these lit
tle things for the travelers, which we
met with in Alaska, and which we
will ever recall with happy memories.
Our trip from the Interior to Seward
was more in the light of a personal
tour though we traveled alone.”
Brother to Mayo Official
A brother to Mr. Schellings is em
ployed by the Treadwell people at
Mayo as a mining engineer and geol
! ogist. He has been in the Yukon
; Territory and Alaska for the past 16
years. Five weeks were spend at
Mayo with the brother and a wonder
ful time was had mountain climbing
and fishing. From Mayo the travel
ers went down to Dawson, then to
Circle City on the Yukon river, then
in turn to Fairbanks, Nenana and An
chorage. From the latter point they
stopped off at Lawing, a short dis
tance out of Seward, where two days
were enjoyed boating and fishing on
beautiful Lake Kenai. Mr. Schellings
was quite elated over the magnificent
trout he caught while at the resort.
For many years Mr. Schellings has
been conducting a successful optical
business at De Ruyter. His business
will not permit him to return to the
Territory next year but both he and
his charming wife are already plan
ning to return in three years. “And
it will be to this region of the coun
try,” Mr. Schellings said in conclusion.

There was a hot time in the old

began shooting off into the ozone;

bursting in glorious colors high over
head, with pinwheels agleam in spi
rals of fire, and with each of the chil
dren stuffed with weiner sandwiches,
there never was a better time enjoy
ed by the kiddies than last evening.
Following the merrymaking on the
beach the children marched in a body
up Fourth avenue to Adams street,
where they have three loud cheers
