CANNOT SEND PARCELS
TO THE INTERIOR
Parcels sen! by post tu the interior
route cannot be forwarded by the Sew
ard office to the interior owing to the
fact that the superiorly classified mall
more than takes up the entire loads
provided for in the contract. Parcels
come under the head of fourth class
mail and it is impossible to send it.
The only way in which tlie people of
the interior can secure these parcels
is to have them shipped over by ex
press which can be done by sending
an order to Postmaster Hickey. Maga
ssliioa, etc., are classed as mcia handle
and cannot he sent either. In the Sew
urd oltice last Saturdin night there
I were about 2,500 pounds of mail for
'the places along the route. It is also
impossible to pick out certain article-'
to forward them and those who are
expecting parcels over the trail route
are reminded that If they want those
purcels before the opening of Yukon
navigation they must send an order
and have them ex pressed. Seward t!ate
way.

BIRDSEYE VIEW OF NOME. THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITY OF UNCLE SAM ON DERING SEA.
In order t<> convince the public of Nome thalfcihe statements i.u
tlie Nugget, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporing*. that
V there would indeed be a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
^ of that vast army of sightseers who w ill \ i-ut the Pacific Slope during
d the coming summer, the Nugget has tak. n special pains to ascertain
Vv with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn tin
opinions of those best qualified to know as to its probable succcs1
That the statements published at intervals in the Nugget are not idle
^d buncombe, that it is an absolute and irrefutable fact that a inns'
tremendous movement with a backing which practically assures it
.j success, has been started, ami that, without a question of a doubt, a
dtn vast number of sightseers will journey to the - >res of Alaska during
/■ the coming season, is attested hv the following lads obtained by the
Nugget’s Seattle correspondent under instructions to secure on
such data as was absolutely reltahleand us as were worthy
d of careful consideration.
^W The following are the results of the Nugget’s investigat
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship comp,
concerted efforts to increase the tourist tr.i lc. n
^a cm Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced that
d[d the Victoria will make special excursion trips June 28. July 26, sailing
f to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and
\ greatly reduced rates for the round trip
d Tlie Senator will make no special trips but will offer
inducements to those desiring to make the 1 mini trip to tl
Rr>t*li companies in addition to an extensive newspaper camping
i * | J
ate maintaining booths ami information bureaus at the San • tan
cisco and San Diego Expositions,
. All lines to Southeastern Alaska points an- preparing aw a big
increase in summer travel, and are alread) making arrange! mn
handle it.
Mr. Harrv Brandt, tieneral Agent ot the Pacific * --i-t Steam
"hip Compam, states that he expects a greath increase
the inside passage, down the Yukon and outside via Name,
Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White Pa-s. predict- unprece-kn •
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMiken, acting Sau I ranciseo agent ot the White i'n~
w ho will he remembered as an old Nomeitc, states that tin W h
l ass promises through rates via Nome, provided his oniipan can
make the desired arrangements with the new owners *»i the S.
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companies handling Wu-ka trathc
assert that arrangements will he made whereby tourists will he
enabled to stop in Nome from _’4 to 50 hours at least.
Everett Clark. Assistant Passenger Agent of the Alaska Steam
ship Compam savs with enthusiasm that it looks like a bainn
\ear for Nome and his company nn i 11 cooperate w ith the Nugget i
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula.
Hcte is the evidence that sound, level-headed Imsines- men. men
who calculate both Nvords and actions, are not onh confident that the
Northland will he an immense attraction during the coming -8**011.
but arc also shoNving their faith by spending large sums in advertising
the attractions offered.
