jdM In ortlcr tu convin#e the public of Nome that the statements c>i
the Nqgget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporing*, that
W there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
* of that vast army of sightseers who will \ isit the Pacific Slope during
L the coming summer, the Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
WW with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those best qualified to know as to its probable success
That the statements published at intervals in the Nugget are not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that a most
tremendous movement with a hacking which practically assures it'
„ success, has been slatted, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers w ill journey n> the shores of Alaska during
Mm the corning season, is attested l>\ the tollowing facts obtained by the
Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instruction.* to secure ■ nJy
\ such data as w as absolnt* ly reliable and *ueh opinion* a* were worthy
M of careful consideration.
The following are the results of the Nugget's investigations
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies are both making
concerted efforts to increase the tourist trad, noi only to Southeast
j cm Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well
Mn The 'Alaska Steamship Company has already announced that
MiI the Victoria will make special excursion trips June 28, July 26, sailing
to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
X. greatly reduced rates for the round trip.
The Senator will make 110 special trips but will offer special
inducement? tp those desiring to make the round trip to tin* section
Rnth Companies in addition to an extensive new - paper campaign
jl
arc maintaining booths anil information bureaus it 111■ >au I ran
cisco and San Diego Exposition
All lines to Southeastern Alaska points arc pn paring : i .< big
increase in summer travel, ami are already making arrangmp.nt n
handle it.
Mr. Ilarry itramlt. tieueral \geut oi the Pacific i <*a-t Ni'.im
ship Company , states that lie expects a greatly increase ] o.iltu x m
the inside passage, down the Yukon and outside via Nome
Traffic Manager Zipf, ot the Whitt I'rms predict- unpn - edent >
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMikeu, acting San I rancisco agent ot tin- W Itite I'a
who will be remembered as an old Nomeile, states that the \\ bin
Pass promises through Kites \ ia Nome, provided hi - company can
make the desired arrangements with the new owners <>i the
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companies handling Masku trallic
assert that arrangements will he made whereby tourists will
enabled to stop in Nome from 04 to 5b hours at least.
Everett Clark, Assistant Passenger Agent of tin Alaska Steam
ship Company says with enthusiasm that it "looks like a banner
\ «ar for Nome and his company will cooperate with the Nugget in
boosting the tourist travel t.» Sew ai d Peninsula."
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men. imm
who calculate both words and actions, are not only confident that the
Northland will be an immense attraction during the coming season.
but are also showing their faith by spending large sums in adieitising
the attractions offered.
