BIRDSEYE VIEW OF NOME. THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITY OF UNCLE SAM ON BERING SEA
Tw In order to convince the public of Nome that ihc .-.tateiuciUs oi
the Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporings, that
W 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 coming summer, the Nugget lias 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 succes
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-,
ji success, lias been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
vast number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
dl the coming season, is attested by the following facts obtained by tin
Nugget's Seattle -correspondent under instructions to secure only
X such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worthy
d 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 trade, not only to Southeast
, <-rn Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
dm The Alaska Steamship Company lias already announced that
dM the Victoria will make special excursion trips Tune 38. July 36, sailing
r ^ to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
x greatly reduced rates for the round trip.
The Senator will make no special trips but will otter special
inducements to those desiring to make the round trip to this section
Roth companies in addition to an extensive newspaper campaign
are maintaining booths ami miormalion mneati
cisco and San Diego Exposition*
All lines to Southeastern \laska point- are ;
increase in summer travel, and an already making •' ":i|t'.:
handle it.
Mr. Harry Urandt. tieneral ygciit <>t the I'mitii * •
-hip Company, states that he expect- a greatly onea-e

Traffic Manager Zipf. of the White pi e mi;.rev
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMiken, acting S.m Irauemvo agent ot i ■ \\ !m>
who will be remembered a- an old Nomeite, -tale- thu' the
Pass promises through rate.- via Nome, provided le.s
make tlic desired arrangement
Corwin.
The agent- of all steamship companies handling
assert that arrangement- will he made whereby tomi-t- i
enabled to stop in Nome from j.| to 50 hours at lea-t
Everett Clark, Assistant Passenger Agent of the \la-k.i Steam
ship Company says with enthusiasm that it look- like . ame
\ear for Nome and Ins company will coopeiute wuh die
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed busiues- men. men
who calculate both words and actions, are not only confident that b
Northland will be an immense attraction during the coming SCiAMXl.
but are also showing their faith by spending large -urn- in adverti-iu >
the attractions offered.
