ipate the greatest tourist travel In
the history of the north and predict
that the steamship companies will
not be able to handle the rush of
tourists that will reach here some
time next month and continue all

,The company has answered thou
sands of letters regarding the trip
and has already made many hundred
reservations. The number of reser
vations already made Is many times
the number made at the same time
Of the year in any previous season.
The fact that the trip to Europe
has become impossible has forced
Americans who travel to seek a new
field and many of them will make
the trip to Alaska this summer.

IH LEASE LOTS
AT ANCHORAGE
A. Christensen, Land Office Agent, To
Plan for Leasing or Sale of
Town Lots.
JUNEAU, May 15.—A. Christensen,
chief of the field division of the Gen
eral Land Office, will leave on the
steamer Admiral Watson, of the Ad
miral Line, for Anchorage to advise
with the engineering commission
about the laying opt of a government
townsite and the placing of the lots on
the market.
Christensen believes that the gov
ernment will decide to lease lots or'
sell them for a nominal sum with
proper safeguards to shut out all
speculators who would try to secure
,lots for little and then force others
to pay a big price.
The plan that the department will
use to handle the sale of the lots
is not known yet but Christensen will
investigate and decide upon the best
method to handle the sftuation.
A lively demand has already 'been
made for lots in the government rail
road town.
