PROGRESS
"Skagway has shown wonderful
progress and improvements since I
was here .a year ago, and I am es
pecially pleased with tho way your
city is treating its tourist trade and
fine hotel accommodations here,"
said J. L. McPherson, of the Alas
ka Bureau of Seattle Chamber of
Commerce this morning. Mr. Mc
Pherson was a passenger on the
Northwestern bound for Anchorage
and the coal fields. He said that
first class hotel accommodations in
duce epople to stop off and Bee the
country, all of which helps ths
trade and development of Alaska.
It "s understood that Mr. McPher
sou will look into the coal situa
tion and the possible relief for the
lack of fuel on the Pacific Coast
and in Alaska. He said that of a]l
countries Alaska should be the last
to import coal, and that instead of
developing only a few mines in the
fields there should be many mines
developed on a large scale.
Mr. McPherson says that the I.
W. W. situation in the coast
states is alarming, but predicts
that before the war is over the work
ingman will realize the hindrance of
the organization and stamp it out.
Foreign shipping of Seattle at
the present time surpasses that of
San Francisco, declares Mr.McPher
son, and Seattle in a short time
will employ more than 20,000 in its
ship yardu. Seattle now ranks at
the top among the ship building
cities of the United States.
