ADMIRAL LINE PLANS
BETTERMENT OF SERVICE
(Juneau Empire)
“Next year we hope to have a ■
steamship service in Ala. ka that
will allow everyone to trav'! when
ever they want to,*’ said A. K
Haines, general manager of the Pa-1
t;u Steamship Company, who with !
Mrs. Haines and four of their;
daughters passed through Juneau on
the Spokaue yesterday.
“Greater than we expected, the |
tourist travel this year was heavier
than ever, with the result, at times,
that there is no room to cany the
Alaskans who want to move around.
But this heavy travel exists all ovcj
the country. It is the same with
the railways.'In the East and West
one can t travel by train, unless res
ervations are made away in advance.
And it is the same with the hotels.
Everybody on Move.
“Everybody who seems to have
money wants to go somewhere. We
only wish the same volume of busi
ness would keep up all year. We
could then put on faster and largei
boats, giving Alaska a better service.
But all through the winter we have
to continue running the boats with
only a few passengers and veiy little
cargo.
Hotels Are Needed.

some toulists’ hotels— says one in
Juneau, one in Ketchikan and one
in Sitka and one in Skagway, where
toul ists could stop over and visit
Alaska properly. It would afford
them an opportunity to become more
interested in the country, spend
their money and make investments.
Proper hotel accommodations are all
that are necessary to bring more
tourists to Alaska. A faster and
larger steamship service will be put
on as soon as the hotels arc as
sured.” Mr. Haines added.
Need For Advertising.
“Southwestern Alaska should also
build tourist hotels and as businers
increased, they should be established
in the interior so that tourists could
go into Alaska by way of Skagway
then to Fairbanks and out by Sew
ard or Cordova. The tourist is a
I peculiar animal. He will go any
where if there are good hotel ac
| commodations, properly advertised.
