THINKS MORE VISITORS HELP
DEVELOP TERRITORY

“You have the tourists coming now
and the Hood will increase, but don'i
a lay down on the job because it will
^ be a tremendous source of revenue
•• to Alaska and a means whereby the
d lesources of the Territory will even*
* tually be developed”, said J. A. PiJk
1 ington, director of the Santa Cruz
1 Seaside company and operator of the
^ Casa del Key hotel, the Casa del Rev
apartments and the Casino at the
famous seaside resort below San
l Francisco. Mr Pilkington has be^n
all through the Interior with M-s.
Pilkington and is now in Sewanl
- j? waiting the departure of the Victo >a
next week. While here the couple
have been visiting with their daugh
ter, wife of Captain Lukens of the U.
S. geodetic survey boat “Surveyor.”
“This tourist traffic is a great
thing and it has come about by leans
and bounds. Things have doubled up
so quickly at Santa Cruz that it lias
us all guessing. The good roads make
it possible and the automobile tour
ists pour in on us from all over the
United Stares. Something will happen
here when more good roads up here
are completed. Why just to give you
an idea of the flood of tourists and
visitors we have, our penny arcade
took in over $15,000 in pennies last
season. We had to shovel them out
'by the bucketful. We have dozens of
concessions on the water front and
they all make money.
“You have a wonderful, beautiful
‘.fOuntry, and you need not be afraid
to invite anybody up here to see it. !
do warn you however to prepare bet
ter accommodation. When that.stream
of tourists swells, many of them wiM
I.
| become interested in your unparal’el
I ,
led resources and will stop to look
i
I them over and to put some money
into development.”

HANDBALL TEAMS
Much interest in that fine art of
handball has been manifested in

be so gnaat that the court will be oc

More than a score of fans are in.
