STORY
Operating a resort camp for tourist!
and .planning a new resort hotel, tw<
Alaskans are undertaking a publicity
trip covering the United States
create tourist business for the won
derland of • the north, financing the
entire undertaking themselves for the
country and for their own business
| of the future.
The man and woman who have this
much faith in their country as a tour
ist mecca are Mr. and Mrs. W. B
Lawing of Lawing, Alaska, 23 miles
out of Seward. They were in Seat
tie with a collection of trophies and
Alaskan curios which they will dis
play all over the country in the inter
est of increased travel to the North
west and their own region.
NELLIE NEAL
Mrs. Lawing is better known thru
out Alaska as “Nellie Neal" and it is
under this name, famous among pion
eering, that she will tell the story of
the Northland’s wonders to the -people
of the leading cities of Hie country-.
Altho rained as a pioneer and hunt
ress, she can also lay claims to hon
ors as a hotelwoman and skilled cul
inary artist, having operated a hotel
in Curry when that place was known
as “Dead Horse” and having during
one month served as many as 10,000
meals there to workmen upon ihe gov
ernment railroad and employees build
ing the fcurfjjy hotel. Years ago she
was connected with the Harvey sys
tern and the Southern - Pacific Rail
road as an expert pastry woman and
cook.
ESTABLISHED CAMP
The story of Nellie Neal would fill
many pages in a romantic, but true
I story of Alaska. She was born in St
Joseph, Mo., but all during her youtl:

HaHrey ‘system her eyes were upon
the great Northwest. When it be
came possible she went to Alaska, ar
riving there 25 years ago when lives
were cheap and dog sleds were price
less.
Of her it is said that she is the
outstanding woman of Alaska, famed
as a big game hunter, dog musher and
pioneer. Address a letter to “Nellie,
Alaska” and if it gets past Seattle it
will reach Nellie Neal, so well known
is she in her own country. She is
, acquainted ,with miinhig in Alaska,
having packed in foodstuffs to the
mines and cooked for the miners.
, Realizing the value of the scenic
. wonders of the land she loved for
( tourists, Nellie Neal and her husband
, went into ,the resort camp business
at their present location on the banks
of beautiful Kenia Lake. At the pres
ent time the camp has cabins accom
i
. mdating 86 visitors, but the plans are
ot build a beautiful rustic hotel upon
the site. A launch, christened “Nel
lie Neal” plies the blue waters of the
lake, for the pleasure of tourists who
wish to inspect its beauties.
TRAVEL BY AUTO
Mrs. Lawing and lier husband are
making the present tour of the United
States with the object of increasing
travel to Alaska and the Northwest
in general and to their own resort in
particular. Their truly wonderful
display of furs, trophies of the chase,
and curio is expected to arouse trem
endous curiosity wherever it is show;n.
! Their trip will include Ogden, Utah;
Lusk, Wyo., Cheyenne, Denver, Des
Moines, Chicago, St. Louis, Toledo,
Cleveland, Washington, D. C., Cincin
!nati, Nashville, Chattanooga, Tennes
jsee, Brimingham, Aluagama; Atlanta,
Georgia; New Orleans, and practically!
all the large cities in this general ter
ritory.
The trip will be made by auto, the
| trophies being shipped by express,
land being displayed in Chambers of
! Commerce, department, store windows
| and similar locations.
AT ATWOOD HOTEL
Talks by Nellie Neal will prove re
vealing and interesting to all who
hear her, for the name Alaska is al
ready magic in the mind of America.
In their room at the Atwood hotel in
Seattle the Lawings were surrounded
upon all sides with the furs, tusks, and
valuable trophies with which they
will attract attention for Alaska. They
were interviewed, as they will be in
every city along hte route, by news
papermen, and their trip given con
siderable publicity.
One of the most interesting of the
trophies which they are carrying with
them is the skin of a mighty Kenai
peninsula brown bear which Nellie
Neal killed herself in a fight from j
which she still carries injuries. She
went to feed her pet black bear, but
found it gone. Searching for it she
followed a trail beyond the barn and
ran upon the gigantic bear, which ex
hibited^ the ferocity characteristic of
a Kodiak. He caught her at the barn
door, wounding her fingers and crush
ing her knee, but she escaped and he
| went down the trail to the place
where he had cached the body of the
dead black bear. Nellie Neal got to
the house, secured her 30-40 Winches
ter. Beyond the barn she ran into the
great bear again and again he came
| after her. It took six shots from the
| b.g gun to kill him. Later she found
'that he had at some time been shot in
the foreleg with a shotgun and that
( in his stomach was the skin of a
v.hole porcupine, with its quills all
matted together.
