01 LAST TRIP
W. G. Powell, agent in Skagway
for thf Grand Trunk Pacific Steam
ship Co., and Mrs. Powell, return
ed on the Princess Sophia from an
extended trip in Canada and the
States. Since leaving Skagway last
October the Powells have visited in
Vancouver, Victoria, Winnipeg, To
ronto, Chicago, St. Paul and other
citi»e.
Mr. Powell is enthusiastic about
the tourist trade to Alaska this
season, saying the Grand Trunk has
ha more tourist travel to the coast
this year than during any year past,
and that so great was the travel the
government took a hand in the mat
ter and has forbidden temporarily
the issuance of tourist rates.
A. conference will be held In
Ch.ca?o very soon for the purpose
of deciding about granting tourist
ra^es to Alaska this summer. The
biggest question to be considered,
according to Mr. Powell, is trans
continental traffic. Freight trains
now n-e given first right to the
rails, passenger trains being side
tracked to make way for them.
Congestion of traffic is noticeable
even-where. , | .'
