that holds the English Embassy, ff had

the capital of Russia had tin air of
really astonishing insolence. I had
often wondered that the Germans could
have been so blunt in Haunting theft
ambition on their embassy, and that
the Russians had allowed such a sym

Much though the educated classes de
plored the sacking of the place and

the government In permitting it. This

Zm i11 unlrr to convince 111 c public of Nome liiat tlie statements of
the Nugget, as to the tourist question w ere not mere vaporing*, that
W there would indeed he a serious attempt to divert to Alaska a portion
^ of that vast army of sightseers who will visit the Pacific Slope during
A the coming summer, the Nugget has taken special pains to ascertain
mV with certainty the full extent of the movement and also to learn the
^A opinions of those best qualified to know as to its probable success
That the statements published at intern als in the Nugget are not idle
buncombe, that it i- an absolute and irrefutable fact that a most
gSA tremendous movement with a hacking which practically assures it'
success, has been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
1 vast number of sightseers w ill journey to the shores of Alaska during
the coming season, is attested by the folloyving facts obtained by the
Nugget's Seattle correspondent tinder instructions to secure only
. such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worthy
of careful consideration.
* The folloyving arc the results of the Nugget's investigations
The Alaska and Pacific Coast Steamship companies are both making
concerted efforts to increase the tourist tratio, not only to Southeast
ern Alaska but to Seward Peninsula as well.
The Alaska Steamship Company ha- already announced thm
the Victoria will make special excursion trips June ->8, July 26, sailing
to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
greatly reduced rates for the round trip.
The Senator yvill make no special trips but will offer special
inducements to those desiring to make the round trip to this section.

All lines to Southeastern Alaska points arc preparing for a big
increase in summer travel, and are already making arrangement- to
handle it.
Mr. Ham Brandt, Central Agent ot the Pacific < <>a->t Steam
ship Company, states tiiat he expects a greatly increased traffic via
the inside passage, down the Yukon and outside via Nome.
Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White Pass, predict- improcedcni d
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMiken, acting San lianci-eo agent oi the White Pa--,
who will be remembered as an old Notneile, state- But the \\ hit

make the desired arrangement- with the new owner- ot the

Everett Clark. Assistant Passenger Agent of the Ua-ka Steam
ship Company says with enthusiasm that it "look- like a banm
sear for Nome and his compans will cooperate with tin- Nugget in
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula.
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men. men
who calculate both words and actions, arc not only confident that the
