Boost! Boost!! Roost!'1 Boost the
town, the resources, th» whole of Al
aska. It is belter In even way to
boost than to -knock. The world has
only contempt for the knocker, but It;
lauds the booster. Re a booster fori

RlRQfcEYF VIEW OF NOME, THE FARTHEST NORTH AMERICAN CITV OF UNCLE SAM ON BERING SEA.
Jm Iii order to convince the public of Nome that the .statements of
the. Nilgai, as to the tourist question were not mere vaporing?, that
^ thpr,e 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
A the cpijiing summer, the Nugget lias taken special pains to ascertain
If with certainty tire full extent of the movement and also to learn the
opinions of those best qualified to know a-' to its probable success.
Tfiat the statements published at intervals in the Nugget arc not idle
buncombe, that it is an absolute ami irrefutable fact that a most
tremendous movement with a backing which practically assures its
success, has been started, and that, without a question of a doubt, a
\a9t number of sightseers will journey to the shores of Alaska during
AA the coming season, is attested l>\ the following facts obtained by the
W Nugget's Seattle correspondent under instructions to secure oalv
^ such data as was absolutely reliable and such opinions as were worthv
A 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 onlv to Southeast
ern Alaska but to Saward Peninsula as well.
W The Alaska Steamship Company has already announced tkat
AA the Victoria wil] make special excursion trips June 2S. July 26, sailing
” w to Nome direct and returning via the inside passage and is offering
> greatly reduce/I rates for the round trip.
The Senator will nuke no special trips but will offer sp*«al
indmnoLSntP to those d«*iriu£ to make the round trip to this ssetien
Roth companies in addition to an extensive newspaper campaign
arc giaitltaming booths and information bureaus at tin Sail I ran
cisco and San Diego Expositions.
All lines to Southeastern Alaska points arc preparing ha a ln^
iricreate in smnnier travel, and arc alreadv making arrangements t..
handle it.
Mr. Harrv Uratult, General Agent of the Pacific <.'ohm Steam
ship Company, states that lie expects a greatly increased traffic
the inside passage, down the Yukon and outside via Nome.
Traffic Manager Zipf, of the White Pa--, predicts unprecedented
river travel during the summer.
E. C. McMiken. acting San 1 raiiciscu agent of the \\ hitr Pas-,
vs ho will be remembered as an old Nomeite, states that the White
promises through rates v ia Nome, provided his company can
make the desired arrangements with the new owners of the >. S.
Corwin.
The agents of all steamship companies handling \laska traffic
assart that arrangements will be made whereby tourists will be
enabled to stop iji Nome from ^4 to 50 hours at least.
Everett Clark, Assistant Passenger \gent of the Vlaska Stcau
slup Company says with enthusiasm that it "looks like a 1 nuuei
v *ar for Nome and his company will cooperate with the Nugget in
boosting the tourist travel to Seward Peninsula."
Here is the evidence that sound, level-headed business men, men
wfce ttkufete both words and actions, are not only confident that the
Northland will be au immens* attraction during the coining season
hut nr*flls« shew ing th*ir faifli l«v spending large sums in ads ei tbdng
the attrastdnns offered.
