Flying Dollars Boost
Alaska Tourist Industry
JUNEAU—Twenty thousand one i
dollar bills, crisp and new, have
been circulated in Juneau by em
ployees of Alaska Coastal Airlines
—each bill covered with a cello
phane wrapper stating that it is a
Tourist Dollar—“A tourist gave
this to us, we give it to you”—
thus Alaska Coastal Airlines is
I demonstrating to the people of
| Juneau the importance of the
i tourist industry to their local
I economy.
This amount is exclusive of tour
ist dollars brought into Juneau
by other airlines or by stetamship
or highway travel.
The $20,000 actually represents
; only about half of the revenue de
rived by the airline in 1954 from
tourists. “And it’s all new money,
brought in by sightseeing visitors
from the States,” explain S. B.
Simmons and O.F. Benecke.

Miekelsons’ Pup
Takes to Snow arid
Stunts Like Seal
•SEATTLE, 'Tina, a trans
planted dachshund who gets her
daily exercise by bouncing bal
loons on her shifty nose thinks
she’s a sled dog.
And her Eskimo pals in Nome,
Alaska, suspect that she really
is some.sort of a miniature spal.
Tina and her owners, Mr. and
Mrs. Carl Mickelson, were tn Se
attle Saturday on a vacation trip
that will take them to Southern
California. „
“Sne’s our littlp bubble dancer”
Mrs. Michelson said.
Tina is only a nickname. Her
registered name is Princess Net
sak, which means “little seal” in
the Eskimo tongue.
Born in Anchorage nearly two
years ago, Tina adapted easily to
the arctic clime and way of life.
“When she first came to us,
though, the natives jumped back
in surprise,” Mrs. Mickelson re
called. “She is black and glossy
and they thought she was a seal
dog.”
And Tina is right .at home in
the snow and below-zero weather
of Alaska in winter. Despite her
short coat, the dachshund frolics
in the snow along with the
huskies.
“Once in a while her feet get
cold and she rolls over so we can
warm them,” Mrs. Mickelson said.
With Mickelson’s training, Tina
became a talented retriever. Mick
elson said the dog even jumps
into slush-filled streams to re
cover ducks and ptarmigan.
Mickelson is a heavy-duty mech
anic with the Alaska Road Com
mission in Nome.
Mrs. Mickelson operates a dry
cleaning plant.
