THE CONSIDERATION OF
A SElilOl'S QUESTION
The question as to whether the
business men of Skagway should
get out and make a vigorous aud
concerted effort to turn the tide
of travel to the Chisana gold fields
through Skagway o\er the White
horse, Kluane route lias, until re
cently, been one that has caused bat
slight discussion aud been met with
out a feeble show of interest by
those whom it most vitally concerns.
It has heretofore been contended
by many of our business nien that
the Skagway.Whitehorse route, be
ing the only feasible one, would get
its proportion of this transient trav
el no mutter what efforts were mad
to turn it elsewhere, but the events
of the past few weeks have thor
1 oughly dispelled that illusion. It
has been fully demonstrated by the
number of passengers and the large
amount of freight that is being car
ried by the westward bound boats
that the strenuous efforts made by
Valdez and Cordova in the cities
of the coast are producing results,
.nd Skngw; y is being sidetracked,
so to speak.
In order that the people of Skr.g
way may thoroughly appreciate the
situation as it is today, and the
arguments that are being used
against the Skagway, Whiteho'rse
route in Seattle and other coast
cities, we quote the following froas
the Cordova Alaskan of recent date:
"Late reports from parties who
.'.re willing to toll the real facts con
cerning the movements of the White
Pass & Yukon do not bear out the
many claims made by President
Dickeson and his representatives,
concerning the Whitehorse route to
the Chisana gold diggings. A large
warehouse has been removed from
Dawson to the mouth of the White
river, which will be used as
a general base of supplies,
and contain hav, oats, bran, rock
et, etc., necessary to keep go
ing the horses who are expected to
ami provisions into the new dig
gings. It is also expected to es
■ aldijh a general store sometime
in December, after the streams
'.'rev and can be freighted on. But
'he fact remains that the haul from
• Whitehorse will be 270 miles
•nd that it Is long and expensive.
; Many of tlie men who went in tint
way have returned via McCarthy p.n
; the sentiment iti Seattle is ver:
much averse to the long Canadian
route. The best they can do will
be to give a 25-cent per pound rate.
This is so much greater than the
10-cent rate from McCarthy or 15
ccnt rate from Chltina via Gulk
ana, thai it. will be almost prohib
ilive. Travelers returning from Se
attle statu that the winter mushers
:irc awaiting definite information
.ilout the short winter route from
.McCarthy, in a numth or two when
liie travel starts north it is expected
that all will have satislied them
selves that the 70-mile haul from
McCarthy across the Nizina and
Chisana glaciers, and consuming but
four days, is so far superior to all
other routes that 1)0 per cent of the
outside traffic will come to Cor
dova and McCarthy. Various trains,
having as high as 50 horses will be
engaged in freighting all winter wit
double enders and wagons. And thi
will result in cheap supplies for the
Chisana."
These misstatements have been so
widely circulated that it is going
to be hard and slow work to over
come the injury that has been done.
For those going into tais scheme
of publicity for the Skagway, White
horse route, it will be well to look
the situation squarely in the face. It
is not going t^» be an easy fight nor
one of short duration. Many trials
and disappointments will have to be
encountered, and wo say light here
to the man who is subject to "cold
feat", that it will be an net of wis
dom to take :io part. V e believe,
however, that a majority of the bus
iness men of ckagway realize the
necessity for action, and that when
they have once sot the wheel In
motion there will be no turning bac

And when this matter is taken up
by the people of Sicagwaj it will be
well to remember that Cordova men
subscribed $5,000 in twelve hours in
the early days of the excitement to
send a man out to look up a prac

raised another $5,000 for the pur
