HARRY G. WATSON RETURNS
Harry G. Watson, publicity agent |
for the Alaska Railroad returned
from a four months’ business trip for
the Railroad, spending considerable
time on the East coast looking over
the tourist situation for the coming
summer.
New York and Philadelphia will be
repersented strong this coming sum
mer in Alaska. Several parties be
ing booked for the Golden Belt Tour
which starts at Seward. One party
of 60 coming from Philadelphia, one
from New York consisting of 40 and
several parties of 20 or more are
booked from other cities outside of
New York proper.
A party of sixty persons from
Moorhead, N. D. will soon be on the
way. Three parties from Los An
geles and 4 from San Francisco have
signed up. Portland will have two
tours of about 30 each. While ne
gotiations are pending on several
other large delegations.
Mr. Watson scoured the Atlantic
and Pacific coast for passenger boats
to bring tourists up here from the
big conventions that will be held on
the Pacific coast this year. This
year is the largest convention year
that the western coast has ever had.
It is estimated that 26 major con
ventions are going to be held. The
largest being the Elks in 'Portland,
Shriners in Los Angeles and the
Knights Templars in Seattle. Mr.
Watson said it was impossible to
secure transportation for the large
bodies wishing to make the tour on
the Alaska Railroad and he estimat
ed at least 8,000 tourists would come
if ships were to be had, or charter
ed.
All vessels are booked solid for
the summer. Mr. Watson has been
attending legislature for the past
60 days in Juneau, being a represen
tative from the Fourth division. He
returned to Anchorage on today’s
train to make his report to Noel
Smith.
Thomas Jasper, for the past two
years owner of the O. K. Barber
Shop of Seward and former chef
of the Seward Grill, left today for
Flat in the Iditarod district, where
he will take charge of the Durand
cafe. Mr. Jasper is a well known fig
ure in the Interior, where he has
■worked in nearly all the camps.
i “Smiling Harry” Bowers, now has
charge of the O. K. Barber Shop,
and states that he will keep the shop
open at all time for the benefit of
friends.
Maj. Oliver of the Alaska Road
Commission, in company with Robt.
Summers, left this morning for head
quarters at Anchorage. The Road
Commission plans many improve
ments to the roads and trails in the
territory this year; a party leaving
soon to look over a proposed road
in the Nuka Bay district.
The Rev. R. V. B. Dunlap and par
ty left for Anchorage on today’s train
to look over the site donated for
the Jesse Lee Home near Anchorage.
Yesterday the party visited the Hoff
man homestead near the head of
the bay looking over the land. The
party will return on one of the next
trains and it is thought a site will
be picked out near Seward, as the
investigating committee were very
favorable to this spot as a location
for the home.
\V. A. Tennersall, radio inspector
for this division, arrived on the Al
aska Saturday from Cordova, where
he has been looking over the new
station. Mr. Tennersall will leave
for the westward on the Starr when

Woodrow Bugle Is
Newsy Little Sheet
This week’s edition of the Wood
row Bugle, published by the school
children of Mile Seven, is a splen

effort on the part of the pupils of
the Woodrow school.
Following are a few bits of news

when he came up from his ranch to
the Woodrow station with his team.
Three inches of snow fell at Wood
row on May 7th.
Mr. H. F. Starr, manager of the
local hatchery, is now feeding thous
ands of baby salmon.
Mr. H. E. Kristiansen moved from
Woodrow to Seward last week, and
will commence work soon.
Mr. Tom Hambright is now con
valescing from the recent illness
whicli kept him in bed for several
days.
Miss Susan Dryden entertained a
few of her friends at her birthday
party last week.
LOCAL POETS
The Woodrow sun shines brightly,
For how long God only knows,
The creeks are frozen tightly and
The roads are heaped with snow.
Our ending school term will be
soon
And summer’s days for play,
Will come with the rising of the
moon,
And the twinkling stars so gay.
A camping trip has been planned of
late,
And to put this verse in rhyme,
The boys will hunt and the girls will
bake
And we’ll all have a jolly good time.
The mirth and joy of the day is gone,
When the moon rises high in the sky
We think of our teacher who is trav
eling on—
And wish her good luck and good
bye.
