NOME AND THE SUMMER
TOURISTS.
People who habitually spend the
summers in navel and sight-seeing are
growing in numbers as our population
grows in number.- ini opulence. The
wealthy Americans who have annually
gone to Europe for pleasure and sight
seeing has amounted to thousands and
their expenditures, which are lavish,
amount to millions "f dollars To such
an extent has this been can-led on that
the American tourist lias become i
source of revenue p> European coun
tries which is highly appro iated and
catered Jo by those countries. As the
European trip is now practically closed
to the American tourist it means that
this summer current of tourists will b*
rleverteb to other fields and scenes
The "See American First" move
ment will now receive a boost by turn
ing thousands to seek in America what
they heretofore have sought in Europe,
and the great West naturally will be
the attraction. Conditions and circum
stances seem t•. combine to favor this
change ami many thousands of tlie
wealthy people of the Western contin
ent will visit the Pacific Coast this
summer to participate in the Panama
expositions in California.
Alaska will he at the fair in such a
manner as to attract attention and in
terest it is the coming now country
which is attractiv e to the adv enturious
spirits, who are seeking diversion,
change of climate, opportunities for
investment or those who seek to see
and know the wonders of ltie North
land for tlie sake of seeing and know
ing These people are numbered by
the thousands and they are anxious to
find new fields, new scenes, and now
conditions in which they can spend tlie
summer months.
Already there lias started among the
very wealth a movement towards Al
aska which, though not a large move
ment. is constantly growing and is
destined, in time, to make Alaska the
great summer resort for these thous
ands of wealthy Americans who seek
rest and recreation and an escape from
tlie excessive heat of the summer]
months.
The European war anil the Califor
nia expositions are two of the great
events of tlie centuries which will turn
attention westward to the great Pa
cific coast which is destined to lie tlie
most wealthy and progressive portion
of our country and the location of the
greatest commercial ports of tlie world
The Panama canal is opening a new
era fur the Pacific coast and drawing
■ ip attention <'* the world as never be
fore t.i the great possibilities and
wonders of the great Pacific coast and
tile West The current is sleting and
iid cannot he checked but those places
of the extreme outskirts of this West
! Northwest, if they would get their
- lare of this prosperity which is be
c thrown into the lap of the West
must be up and doing and grasp the
•pnrtunities or lag behind the general •
• • gress of the country
An opportunity is 'ffered the people
f Nome to attract many of these tour
ists to .r stores and it is the height of
f l’v f r the opportunity to he thrown
way We have mm h that woulJ in
■ rest the tourists and much to interest
se who seek investments ( iur
"untry is an interesting me from
many standpoints and vet in its primi
ce state in every particular, its re
u: es n>t vet developed, as much as
* produced during the past few
-its it .s m its developing period
■ id not as the iiessimisi would have
s believe in its exhausted state
Nome anti t ex|»eet to attract tlie
rgc per iiu "f the tourists who will
s t vlaska this summer, but much.
•. be accomplished by siiere
force of energy tnd optimism in tlie
face of difficulties

(.'ommlssioner Dillon, of Fairbanks.
I in naming the judges of election, named
one woman to act in nearly everv pre
cinct. botli in towns and on the creeks.
He believes that since they are entitled
to vote they are also entitled to act as
judges.
A Fairbanks paper makes the state
ment that all employes of the White
Pass system are required to contribute
S2.00 a month to the war fund Supt
Wheeler, of the above named system,
declares the statement false; that the
aforesaid employes are given the op
portunity to contribute, hut there is
no compulsion about it
Reports from various game wardens
all over the territory show that hig
game is growing scarce in Alaska. The
territory is so large that the present
force of game wardens cannot possibly
cover every part. The miners and In
dians are usually careful not to shoot
any more game than is needed for their
immediate purpose. This is not al
ways true of hunters who come from
the outside and are given permits.
Oscar Wallen leaves tonight on the
Princess May for a sojourn in the
States says the Skagwax Alaskan. To
a casual peruser of the above state
ment. this max not he a x ery startlingi
one hut to Mr Wallen it is the event
of a lifetime It is the greatest event
of his life, outside of his advent into
this x'ale of joys and sorroxvs, for it
means that he is to see the great out
side for the first time in his existence.
T xventvcight years ago ' 'sear was horn
in Douglas and since that time he ha«
traveled as far north as Whitehorse.
Yukon Territory , as far south at Ketch
ikan. as far west as Cordova and as to
the east Juneau is as far as his wan
derings have ever carried him toward
the rising of the sun During his life
spent in the North Mt. Wallen has
always been a thrifty and industrious
young man. spending much of his
leisure time in study, and when he goes
out and minglles with the worly it xvill
not he surprising if he shows no signs
of having lived his life away from all
that enters into the hum and hustle of
the great centers of commerce and in
dustry It is the intention of the
young Alaskan to return to his native
hearth early in the spring, and again
resume his position among the men
who are building this great empire.
The fai t that the pumps ate being.
drawn at the Pueblo mine, which sus
pended mining anti shipping operations
a month ago. does not “listen” well.
But it is a plain matter of business, of
what use would it be to continue to1
mine copper when there is no market
for that, product? The war in Europe:
has practically closed the copper mar
kets of the world and until such time
as Clipper is in greater demand, there
will he no sale for it The Pueblo is a
wonderful property and will not long
remain inactive after the copper mark
et revives.
A representative of the CSrank Trunk i
Pacific railroad recently visited Skag
way and gave the following information

i to the Dnilj Alaskan: ' The Grand
i Trunk is now operating two through
I trains each week between Prince Ru
i perl and Winnipeg, with sleepers and
' diners attached the run each way being
made in 72 hours. Next year it is
thought that a daily service will be
maintained. People on tbeir wav to i
the Hast via Skagway from either Alas
ka or the Yukon territory can save
hours in time and $li in cash by de
bnrklng from ihc boat at Prim c Hu
port and taking the Grank Trunk rail
road, for the fare to all points East over
the railway from there is the same as
that charged over transcontinental'
j lines from Vancouver and Seattle,
while the fare between Skagway and
Prince Rupert is only $lfi, as against j
$30 to Seattle. Although during the
early stages of the European war our
I boat service was discontinued between
| Prince Rupert and Seattle, it has since,
been resumed, and it is further contem
plated by the Grand Trunk manage
ment to put on a line of steamers from
Prince Rupert to Southeastern Alaska
and Northern British Columbia ports."
