PRES SIMON BACK AFfEB
THREE MONTHS TRIP IN STATES
Prom Seatte! to New York and .
Boston, then to San Francisco was,
the itinerary of President Steven
Son of the Bank of Alaska during
his three months' absence from
.Skairway, and of course am nearby
oointa to those largo metropclii,
as well as cities between the large j
centers were visited. While gone,
Mr. Stevenson was only able to get
about 10 days to devote to his
personal pleasure, the balance of
the time being devoted to the
interests of liis banks in the north.
Wb le in the east many confer
ences were had with the stock
holders and business associates
of Mr. Stevenon, and in speaking'
of his conferences with those men
who are interested with him in the !
financial welfare of the bank, he '
was greatly surprised, and very j
much gratified to find that his
associates wore so conversant w'ithi
the busines conditions in Alaska.
*>V .lie on the Pacific coast Presi-'
dent Stevenscn devoted much j
time in the interest of th© bank in
securing new clientage and busi
ness for the bank ,and in this J
he expressed himself as being high
ly satisfied.
Mr. Stevenson brings back a
view respecting the tourist travel
this season not only encouraging
but which seems to bo based upon a
wholly different point.of view than j
that expressed by others. He points
out the fact that heretofore all j
of the advance information as to
tourist travel has come from tour
st agencies and from the outside
representatives of the railroads.
Mr Stevenson said: "This year,
owins- to the fact that the railroads
are under the Government control,'
and a geueral order has been issued
abolishing all outside representa- (
lives, these men who have hereto- '
fore disseminated optimistic infor
mation are now very much dejected
because of the loss of their posi
tions and the uncertainty as to their
future. They are, therefore,* not
inclined to say very; many favorably
things about tourist travel, for by
so doing: they wouldl admit the
uselessness of th«ir positions.
"On the other hand the indiv
iduals who have the money and
who intend to travel are frank to
say that it would be unbecoming
for them to announce their vacation
plans, although it is their inten
tion to come to Alaska. Evenj
were they to give their itinerary the
new ruling of the Pullman Con*
,!>any requiring payments for berths
at the time reservations are made,
.precludes any advance reservation,
and the same is largely tru« of the
railroads, and most of the hotels
will make no reservations nowi ex
celling for their old patrona or
thos° who send remittances with) tha
reservations."
All of these) conditions have mad*
it quite impossible for anyone to
judge what the business will be, al
though Mr. Stevenson has found,
more inquiries concerning the Al
askan trip and has been> assured by
more people of their intention to
come than in any of the previous
three seasons he has Deen interested
in Alaska. > i '
A still further interesting com
ment is that frequently made by
business men all over the East
'hat they are so surfeited with; war
talk, and they have been render
ing so much extra service in Liber
ty Loan campaigns, Red Cross, Y.
M, C. A., Knights of Columbus
drives, special service such, as on
Alien Enemy Commission, Exemption
Boaids, Alien Property Committees,
etc., that they simply must get
away absolutely out of that at
mosphere this season. They are
under the impression that Alaksa is
far enough removed, and yet ac
cessib'e enuogh to give tbem a
complete diversion and freedom
from war anxiety for at least a few
weeks. ;

"We are out of "Thrift Stamps"
toda-^, but wo have telegraphed.' for
« supply and they should be here
on the nest boat. We can give
you a temporary receipt for any thalj
you may wish today, and will give
on the stamps immediately upon
our supply reaching here. The de
mand has been so great that we
cannot keep a supply 0.1 hand." This
is practically what Postmaster Con"
way of the Skagway po&toffice has
been compelled to tell patrons on
several occasions.
From January 7, to April 10, the
sale of War Saving Stamps an<l
Thrift Stamps locally has amounted
to $7,500, and1 the sales are in*
creasing daily. This means that
Skasway is responding loyally- to
'he Nation's call for "thrift" and
it means that people recognize the
urgency of lending money to
Uncle Same that tho hated kaiserr
may all the sooner bo forced to his
knees ,and like a beaten brute, ask
mercy, being willing to accede to
all just demands in order to save
his polluated skin from further pun
