HERE EH ROUTE
TO LEGISLATURE
Honorable I'Tate H. Coombs, legisla
tor-elect from Nome, arrived in An
chorage yesterday afternoon after a
twenty-five day trip over the trail and
stopped at the White House during his
brief stay in the city. Mr. Coombs is
rushed to get to Juneau on time for
the convening of the territory legisla
ture and left early this morning for
Serward to make connections with the
first outward-bound steamer for the
capital.
Mr. Coombs gave The Times quite a
lengthy interview in regard to condi
tions prevailing in his section of the
country and among other things said:
“The mining industry in the vicinity
of Nome, Council, Candle and the trib
utary camps has taken on renewed ac
tivity and we look for a prosperous
year. Socially the camps have all ex
perienced a delightful winter and
many local dog races and other winter
sports have added to the enjoyment of
the season. I was very anxious to
make this visit to Anchorage and am
only sorry that I haven’t more time to
spend in your delightful city. Attor
ney-General Grigsby was fairly bub
bling over with the glories of Anchor
age on his return to Nome and had
all of us looking forward to the time
when we too could make the new rail
road town a visit.
“I have many friends of the old
Nome days here, but it will be impos
sible for me to see all of them and I
wish you would state through the col
umns of your metropolitan paper that
I will try and make another trip to
Anchorage and renew my many pleas
ant acquaintances.”
“Mr. Coombs is one of the real old
timers of the interior and was former
ly connected with C. D. Lane but at
present is developing some placer
property in the vicinity of Council.
Mr. Coombs is a republican and a
supporter of Delegate Wickersham.
He said the trip over the trail was
very pleasant and he had plenty of
company on most of the trail, coming
from Nome to Unakleet, then across
the portage to Kaltoz, thence up the
Yukon to Ruby through Long City,
Poorman, Cripple, Ophir, Takotna and
over the pass to Anchorage. Mr.
Coombs reported that all the camps
en route were prosperous and that
many stampeders were mushing into
Tolstoi.
Mr. McCoombs said that Scotty Al
len, of racing fame, also a member of
the legislature, was a few days behind
him and should reach Anchorage i
about the first of the week. Mr.
Coombs expects to make a short visit j
to the outside after legislature ad- j
journs and will return to Nome by the;
way of steamer from Seattle.
