A tourist landed in Skagway a fev\ weeks ago and asked one of the resi
dents to be directed to the cemetery. Mr. Skagwayman thought the chechako
wished to see the tomb of the immortal Soapy Smith and directed the man
thither, but the strange person said that he had only asked for the cemetery
because he had walked all through Skagway without seeing a human being
and he desired mere!} to receive some evidence that the town had once been
inhabited, or something like that.
This story illustrates one particular thing; It shows the vulgarity of a
certain clas> of people who call themselves tourists. Not that tourists are
different from their suffering brothers and sisters of the fixed and stationary
order but because, like young untrained quadrupeds, they are unable to con
tain themselves when first given their liberty. Tourists have become the butt
for the jokes of Kuropean comic papers. In this respect the “untravcled
traveler” has almost ousted the mother in law, the henpecked husband and
some other perpetuities from the leading place in the satirical sally columns,
but tourists as tourists are not to blame at ail. The people to blame are
those who buy an ice cream suit in the village store, a check cap, field glasses,
yellow gloves and a loud tie and then launch themselves in all the resplend
ent colors begotten of a want of savoir faire on the unsophisticated denizens
of some remote shore. While arrayed in this proud panoply, bought by the
sweat of many months, the souls of the wearers, suppressed and narrowed to
littleness hitherto, rise to the occasion, like an unprepared balloon, and sail in
to dangerous currents.
To travel on a tourist ship every man oboard is a millionaire by reputa
tion. but it often happens that the “big manufacturer of Boston" might be
nothing more than one of those plutocrats that occupy a high stool at thirty
a week by day anti a four dollar bedroom by night. There is no man who
has such a high standing at home as the man who is away from home.
Usually his ambitions are suppressed in the home town because the home
town has a perfect knowledge of him and hisn. It is only far away he
shines, and ‘twere better that his refulgent rays were ever shed where they
belong.
Of course, the vast majority of tourists are ladies and gentlemen and
are most welcome everywhere. One of these days we shall have lots of them
with us and. while speaking on the subject at all, it might be all right to
suggests that we should go out of our way to send them away with a good im
pression of the Terminal City if there is anything we can do to bring this
about.

WOMAN STOWS AWAY
ON STEAMSHIP MARIPOSA.
Dressed in Man's Attire She Succeeds
In Making Her Way tu
Anchorage.
Determined to get into Anchorage
with the big rush, a woman garbed in
men’s khaki was yesterday found in
the steerage of the Mariposa which
docked at 7 p. m. Mrs. Hose Johnson
of Valdez, is the woman’s name and
she is well known in various parts
of Alaska, having considerable inter
ests and claims but none of which are
now productive. She found it neces
sary to get back and not being sup
plied with the necessary funds she
donned men’s clothing and success
fully eluded discovery, remaining in
retirement as far as possible. Her
identity was discovered by accident
yesterday by one of the stewards.
As soon as the facts leaked out the
woman was placed in the care of Mrs.
Westen, the stewardess, and was giv
en the care and courtesy most needed
while Chief Steward Taylor and his
staff very thoughtfully and with the
true Alaska spirit, started a subscrip
tion with the result that by night
Purser Harris was handed a tidy sum
for the adventurous woman to help
her in getting settled or continuing
her journey for Anchorag.
BIG MINING DEAL IS

Stikine Mining Company at Devils
Elbow, about 100 miles up the Stikine

the property were L. Dixon and John
