SHRINEKS FROM
CAL CONVENTION
TO TOIIR ALASKA
NUMBER ON WAY TO TERRITORY
NOW, SAYS RECENT ARRIVAL
FROM LOS ANGELES
Direct from the Shriners’ Conven
tion, recently held at Los Angeles, to
Seward, is the trip just completed by
Mr. Duncan, prominent citizen of
Wichita, Kansas, who was a guest
yesterday at the Seward Chamber of
Commerce Luncheon. Prior to the
calling to order of the meeting, Mr.
Duncan entertained his hearers with
incidents of the big convention.
“After advertising to the skies, the
slogan, ‘Come to Los Angeles, the
Land of Perpetual Sunshine,’ the Los
Angeles Board of Commerce felt a bit
ashamed of themselves one day dur
ing the three day convention, owing
to the fact a heavy downpour of rain
ocurred,” Mr. Duncan said. This did
not dampen the spirits of the visitors
by any means, but on the other hand
proved to be an occasion where much
ingenuity was displayed. Shriners, as
always, became acclimated quickly,
and it was a common sight to see them
about the streets in bathing suits, fun
ny umbrellas, rubber bathing caps,
boots or anything along that line. One
chap, a resident of Los Angeles, evi
dently must have been the subject of
much comment, about his wonderful
climate, for on the rear and sides of
his automobile he had painted in large
letters, the words ‘Quit your Kidding.”
It is estimated 100,000 Shriners
treked to the city, Mr. Duncan stated.
From Chicago alone fifteen special
train caravans were dispatched. From
Mr. Duncan’s home town 130 Shriners
made the pilgrimage. He believes
there will be many of the visitors to
the coast come to Alaska for on his
way north he met six who were on
their way to tour the Territory.
The great difficulty in coming north
seems to be in the matter of reserva
tions. Much to the surprise of Mr.
Duncan, while in the East, an attempt
to secure reservations on an Alaskan
steamer wras made, but he was inform
ed everything was taken. However
upon asking again at a Pacific Coast
office, he was told to come back to
the office in two hours, which he did,
and was sold a ticket.1
Mr. Flickinger, in charge of the lo
cal office of the Alaska Steamship
Company, accounted for this by stat
ing each year the steamship compan
ies allot tourist agencies a certain
number of reservations.
Prior to the day of sailing it is dis
covered certain agencies have been un
successful in disposing of their reser
vations. Whereas the vessel should
be filled up, several cancellations
make their appearance at the last mo
ment. This is generally the case,
Mr. Flickinger said, with regards to
ticket purchasing. Cancellations at
the last moment are often turned to
good advantage by others wishing to
make the journey.
ALEX BOLAM TO RACE
AGAIN UP MARATHON
Alex Bolam, champion racer and
title holder of the Marathon race, has
thrown his hat into the 1925 ring, sig
nifying his intent to compete in the
big annual event on the 4th of July.
Bolam’s time, which record has been
assaulted many times by ambitious
contestants, is 54 minutes, an incon
ceivably short period for climbing the
mountain, which casts its shadow
over all of Seward. The race, as
in former years, will start from the
Seward Bank Corner, and will end
there.
Ed Vogle, rancher near Seward, is
a hot contender for Bolam’s crown.
Each day for the last ten days, since
the official program was announced,
Vogle has been running into Seward
from the ranch, and up the side of
the mountain to the top, making two
trips each day. Since he began train
ing, it is reported the clocks are catch
ing him one hour earlier on the round
trip. Vogle and Bolam are built like
greyhounds, with a surplus of stamina
far above that possessed by the aver
age athlete.
It is believed there will be at least
a half dozen entries file for the race,
before June 26, Friday, the day when
the entree list will be closed, and a
heart examination made of the con
testants. All Seward is alive with
the mountain race, as the topic of con
versation.
