ALASKA TOURIST TRAVEL J
Tat proposed construction in
Seatl:e of two new sutoen-knot
sttux'-rs xor the White Pass & Yu
kon Kcute, is to meet the trauspor
tat.'oa demaaxds occasioned by the
very great (inorease of Alaska tour
!i>t traffic. The Yukon river route,
hy, which passengers are conveyed
from Seattle to Skagvyay, thence
b» ra I to Whitehorse, ami theince
a 3,300-miie trip down the lakes
and river to vest coast of Al
. **a, attracted nearly double" the
number of tourists this
season that traversed the route
las' year.
For scm-e years the freight and
p i5tti jvr s^rvjce of Fairbanks and
iti'et'cr Alaka. fcis boMi ha<ndilcd by
tuis rcute through th§ season of
n »v?s'itifcn. The construction. of
the jroverumcait railway from' Se
•.wtrJ t.- Fairbanks places the Vat
t r city only 500 miles by rail from
seaboard. No doubt, on its com
ine'icn in 1919, the rattjrajr, will
carry the bulk cf Central Alaska's
fr if,u' trajffic, and a large liortjjon
of tlf every-day passenger busi
Ii° s.
But the increasing tidf "of tour
ists ->;U continue to make the Yu
kon trip and furnish; business for
• o.-erger lints out of Seattle in
tho ; tagway tr»mle. Confidence? in
this Is indicated by the ;nroposed
cons'ractic® of additional river
st?am<*rs. j
Alaska tourist traffic is, and
will ccrtinue to be, a large asset
to Settle fcr the reason, that it is*
the Alaska gateway, the mobiliza
tion point for flhiousands of travel
ers if wealth, culture and influence,
\v' 1 o become Sea*tie and Alaska
"L-C'sters" upon returning home.
EviJvticc of this is aooarent in the
annual increase cf the number of
Eastern travelers who make the
trio to the Northland. — Seattle
