“THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT”
Asa part of one of the finest railroad booklets yet is
**su^d, the town of Seward is featured by the Great Nor
thern Railway. A copy of the pamplet was forwarded
to the Seward Gateway by H. M. Sims, executive assis
tant to Ralph Budd, president of the road.
The bulk of the booklet is devoted to striking pic
tures and descriptions that will greet the travelers to the
Northwest of America. After the writer and photogra'
pher get the traveler to Seattle they show him pictures
of Seward and Mt. McKinley and follow up with this
legend:
Alaska, “The Land of Enchantment”, is reached from Seattle by com.
fortable steamers, which isail at frequent intervals during summer months.
There are two Alaska trips that appeal strongly to the vacationist. One
trip, which consumes from 10 to 12 days, takes you North to Skagway and
return. The other, of approximately 21 days’ duration, proceeds! Westward
from Juneau to Seward and Anchorage. These trips are by way of the fa
mous “Inside Passage” along the cons'-:, line, among gem-like islands, thru
narrows where the shore is but a stone’s throw from the steamer. In this
sheltered! passageway the ocean lies calm and Smooth. One need not fear
of discomfort due to rough seas.
McKinley National Park, a vai area of unspoiled wilderness in South
Central Alaska is becoming well known though it is the most isolated and
the newest of our National Parks. The entrance to the Park is 34S miles
North of Seward on the Alaska Railroad. McKinley National Park has many
impressive features, the most distinctive being superb Mt. McKinely, the
(highest and most lordly mountain on the North American Continent. Trans
portation in the Park and comfortable accomodations are provided by the'
Mt. McKinley Tourist and Transportation Company.”
We have been trying to say things along the same
lines for a number of years and we are certainly grate
ful to those word-slingers who are taking up the work
'where it will do the most good. If between us we can in
duce gasoline-befogged, asphalt-chained denizens of fear
ridden cities to come here and breathe cool, clear, crisp
air and look to the uplifting heights of calm, majestic and
undisturbed mountains, then we have indeed fulfilled
part of our puny destiny.
All the big companies together have not brought in
one mine in 25 years. It is the miner and prospector to
whom this credit must go.
