COMING IN JULY
Seattle - Chamber of Commerce !
and Guests Expect to Remain
in Valdez Six Hours.
V
Tlie Prospector is in receipt of.
the following letter, a copy of
one sent to the Valdez Chamber
of Commerce, telling of the ex
cursion of Seal tie business men
and many newspaper men from
all parts of the states:
To Valdez Chamber of Commerce,
Valdez, Alaska.
.•Seattle, June 3, 1913.—(len
tlemen: The Seattle Chamber of
Commerce will this summer, un
der the auspices of the Alaska
Hureau, conduct a tour of Alaska.
The party will number about 120,
including as our guests the east
ern publishers. We will visit the
largest centers of population,
view all of Alaska’s industries
and points of wonderful scenic
interests, covering a distance of
about 8,000 miles. We will leave
Seattle June 21st and expect to
return about July 28th.
We hope to reach Valdez about
July 22nd. The territory to cov
er and the numerous stops nec
essary will make our slop with
you, as with all others, brief. Our
itinerary provides a six-hour stop,
during which we want to meet
as many of your citizens and vis
it as many points of interest as
timet will permit. We will advise
you by wire from Dutch Harbor j
and Seward as to the probable
time of our arrival.
we sincerely wish conditions I
would permit a longer stop, bul
this trip is made with the one
purpose of educating our people
through oun guests, the publish
ers, as to the facts about Alaska,
and we have agreed to return
them to Seattle in about 35 days.
The limitation is unavoidable,
but another year, when we trust
the necessity for quick and exten
sive publicity as to Alaskan con
ditions will not be so acute, we
hope again to make this lour and
remain with you long enough to
form closer ties of friendship.
As tin* represent alive commer
cial body of your city, we will be
pleased to have you outline the
most advantageous manner of
meeting your people1 and seeing
the important features of inti-r
est. We would request that you
kindly advise us soon as possible
of any such suggestions you may
decide to make, and to these we
will gladly conform. If you can
not advise us as to your sugges
tions . before our departure from
Seattle, kindly notify the under
signed addressed to Juneau or
Seward.
We expect much good from this
tour and through it we hope to
secure valuable publicity as to the
actual conditions in Alaska, prior
to the next session of congress.
Once we secure publicity of these
fads through the eastern news
papers, public sentiment through
out the land, we believe, will
quickly crystallize into a demand
to which congress will respond.
Incidentally, we hope on this
trip to secure many additional ex
hibits for our exhibit room, which
is designed to contain a complete
and compact display of Alaskan
resources and products. We will
be grateful for any appropriate
addition you may be able to se
cure for us. Yours very truly,
ALASKA BUREAU.
