ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL
According to advices received in
Sewaid from Steamship and railroad
agencies in Seattle und also in lire
middle west, travel by tourists tj
Vlaska this summer is to be heavy,
heavier than for the past three years.
1’his travel is not only to be heavy to
Southeastern Alaska points but to tin'
Southwestern Alaska points, Cordova,
Valdez. Seward and Anchorage, with
many making the trip to the interior.
Within a few years the Alaska tourist
travel will be the greatest in the his
tory. Many will perhaps say that lb
tourist is going to Europe and th ve
wander over the battlefields. It is true
there will be much travel across tn*
Atlantic to view the scenes of conflict
n the recent world war, but this tra
vel is not going to be as large ;.t
many believe. Hardly a household ir.
the United States but has been hit by
th*' war. This war is over and peopl •
want to forget it. Take for instance,
practically any man o* woman, goinv
to France. They will view place.*
where Bill o’* John met his death
Here or there they will remember that
•ome bhxxly battle was fought. Other
places they will remember are when
defenseless women ami children w*>rv
outrag* d. then shot «»r bayoneted by
th* hurbarious Hun. Austrian or Ltul
jrarian. None of the-.o reminders w^I
r»e pleasant ones and as before said
pe ople want to fo; j*et about the hor
rible war and consequently will sLiy
as far away horn the scene as pos i
hle. With this in view, what bet* *»
country is there to visit than Alaska ‘
As has lM»en said, in Alaska one na*
the scenery of Italy eclipsed and th#
<randuer of the Alps is surpassed, in
K»v«nil> Thoroughly Renovated.
