Seattle traffic experts are unable|
to tlgure out a scheme to take 20,
000 Elks to Alaska for the :!«23
grand convention on account of lack

in, waited on Seatt.e transportation
Interests during the week, soliciting
co-operation in an effort to get the
1923 convention.

clared there was not sufficient ocean
tonnage available to carry the dele
gates and excursionists to Alaska,
without withdrawing Southern Cal
ifornia tourist steamers during the
peak of the summer season, which
move could not be done without j
tremendous loss.
The Juneau committee believed |
if vessels could be secured that ac-'
commodations for the convention!
could be provided at Juneau, but
those attending would have to eat '
and sleep aboard the excursion;
steamers. The committee also be-'
lieved Juneau could secure the 1923
grand convention If they could guar-j
antee steamship accommodations at j
reasonable rates.—Alaska Dispatch.
