over skagavay flowers
William McMurrav, general pass
'n»r agent of the O. W. R. & N.,
was in Seattle yesterday on his re
'urn from his first trip to Alaskan
wat.*ra.
Mr. McMurrav directs the publica
tion of millions of pieces of litera
ture issued annually by the "company |
iu exploiting the resources and at
tractions of the North Pacific coast.
"Never shall I refer to the cold
of Alaska after what I saw at
Skagway,'' he said. "It was in a
flow&r garden where there was a
profusion of bloom and a riot of
colors that would gladden the heart
of a floriculturist. Alaska is a !
treasure house, a fruit orchard,
garden and art gallery combined."
Mr. McMurray said that passon
ser travel on the transcontinental
limes has increased within the last
week.
"Possibly because of the European
war,'' he said, "the Americas
at last concluded that to *»e« Am
erica first' is not only the Bafe thing
to do, hut that his desire for tr*r*l
cannot well be satisfied elsewhere
at this time."—Seattle Post-Iutelll
