BIRDSEYE VIEW OF NOME, THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITY OF UNCLE SAM ON BERING SEA.
In order to convince tlie public of Nome that the statements oi
the Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporings, tlun
there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
of that vast army of sightseers who will visit the Pacific Slope during
the coining summer, the Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn tin
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 backing which practically assures it
success, has been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
tin* coming season, is attested by the following facts obtained In tin
Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instructions to secure only
such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worthy
I <>f 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 trade, not only to Southeast
ern \laska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced that
the Victoria will make special excursion trips June 28, July 26, sailing
to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
greatly reduced rates for the round trip
The Senator will make no special trips but will offer special
inducements to those desiring to make the round trip to this section
Both companies in addition to an extensive newspaper campaign
are maintaining booths ami information bureaus at the San bran
cisco ami San Diego Expositions.
All lines to Southeastern \laska points are preparing for a big
increase in summer tin' el. ami are alrea l> making arrangements to
handle it
Mr. Harr\ llramlt. (icucral Vgent ot the Pacific ( oast Steam
ship Company, states that lie expects a greatly increased traffic via
t lie inside passage, doyen the 't ukon and outside y ia Nome.
Traffic Manager Zipf. of tlh White Pass, predicts unprecedented
liver travel during the sumntvr.
E. C. McMiken, acting San I r,incisco agent of the White Pass,
yyho will be remembered as an old Nonieite, states that the White
Pass promises through rates via Nome. ])rovided his company can
make the desired arrangements with the new owners of the S. S.
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companies handling Alaska traffic
assert that arrangements yvill be made whereby tourists will be
enabled to stop in Nome from jg to 56 hours at least.
Everett Clark, Assistant Passenger Agent of the Alaska Steam
ship Company says with enthusiasm that it “looks like a banner
year for Nome and ltts company yvill cooperate yy ith the Nugget in
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula.”
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men, men
yylio calculate both words and actions, are not only confident that the
Northland will be an itiiim'nse attraction during the coming season,
but are also showing their laith by spending large sums in advertising
the attractions offered.
