Yesterday we published an article
ia which we quoted F. F. W. Lowle,
the k>al agent of the Canadian, Pa
cific railway as having oaid before
a t.uniber of transportation, men
that. "Suagway needed soma means
of transportation to and from the
various points ot interest in and
about our town."
Now how are wo to get this
of transportation. It is
purWy a matter that the Skagway
Commercial Club should take up,
and 't *s not too early in the sea
sou fox the matter to be settled.
Each time that the question of
helping aloug some -matter that
leans towards the eatertainmeut of
transients is broached, a howl goes
ud frrm somebody, who yells that
the tourist business only helps a
few—roe curio shops, the hotels !
the restaurants, and the transporta- (
tiou people. This is purely false-1
hood, and is the blathering of
krcckers, and those who patronize
mail order houses, and choke the ,
eagle on a coin so hard before they
let loose that the coin in many in
stances is mutilated.
Now is the time to boost. Now |
la the time to get oat and holler I
rouf uead off for some methods of l
nkic; these tourists to aud from j
our places of interest bo that they
will remain here Every business)
house in Skagway is benefitted" by
«very tourist who comes to this j
town. If that particular tourist
does not buy ham, or cheese, or
shoes, or get sh-ved, he does get
a cost card, or pays his steamboat
f>r railroad fare, or buys some (low
ers, or has a drink of mineral wat
er— and the one receiving the mon
ey for these various commodities or
this service, spends it-far-the neces
sities cf life Tieht here in Sk&gway
—if he does not send it out to a
mail order house.
The Denver Glacier trail should
be made a TRAIL, in every sense ;
of the word, and we should have a j
lirst-elass, sea-worthy launch, far
reaching points on Lynn canal, and
the trail to Lake Dewey should be
repaired and the varlpus -foot
br'dsis rebuilt, so that tourists,
and «*ven ourselves, c<jald enjoy The
beauties of Skagway's see ale _ re
sources.
Let the Commercial clu)> make
the move, and each one of the
boosters boost, and what we need
in lbe way of entertainment
to interest people who come to our
town will be forthcoming and tour
ists will go away satisfied with
their trip, and more will follow.
This is the year to |lo it, and sow is
the time to prepare for the year.
It is to be the biggest and best
year ever, and each resident in
Skagway should help to make it at
tractive for the visitor, for the time
is coming when we will all realize
that a good crop of tourists is
quite as profitable as a good crop
of wheat or oats or com.
Begin to boost now, and plan
lor your boost for next week, and
allow the handle in the "knock"
hammer to Tot, and the iron to
rust. Let us try it for a few
ye;i>, and see what the results
will be, and if you are not satis
ried with the results, you can start
your subscription list and we will
be signer No. 1.
