OPTIMISM l'ERVADES SHAG
WAV BUSINESS CIRCLES
A feeling of optimism pervaila
among the business men of Skagway
and there is a firm conviction in
their minds that when the antici
pated rush into the placer country
in the interior does set in early in
the coming year a large percentage
of the travel and the bulk of freight
will be sent in via Skagway, the na
tural and unobstructed gateway—a
route that is open to traffic for
365 days in ordinary years and 366
in leap year.
I The progressive merchants and
business men of Skagway last Aug
ust ,;ot together and subscribed be
tween $-500 and $500 toward a pub
licity fui .1, but for the reason that1
no defiu' •> !>■•. of action had been
agread upon *he money subscribed
was not ccl'ected by the committee
appointed for thet purpose and tho
matter has since that time lain in
I abeyance.
When the question of advertising
the Skagway-Whitehorse route on
the outside by means ot a jolut
contribution of the twu towns was
brooched here it received very fav
orable consideration by the sub
scribers to the original publicity
tund, and it was generally under
stood and agreed that Dr. Sugdeu's
moving picture exhibit would be
the most effective and convincing
means of reaching the people
whom it was desired to influence.
After Dr. Sugden's highly meri
torious demonstration of Saturday
night; when it was conclusively
proven that he had the ability as
well as the means for an effective
publicity campaign on the outside,,
steps were immediately taken to
collect the money subscribed, and
yesterday, although it was Sunday,
and most of the business houses
closed, a number were seen and
came through cheerfully and unhes
itatingly with the amounts they
had promised. Below is a list of
those who have paid. We will keep
this list standing and publish each
day the additions thereto, as the
committee turn them in:
Herman Grimm $4 0.00
P. H. Ganty 25.00
Phil Abrahams 25.00
Golden North Hotel . . .. 25.00
Tony Stanich 10.00
Karaman & Klekak .. .. 10.00
Ivellor Bros. Drug Co 10.00
Daily Alaskan 10.00
ADVANTAGES OF THE SKAG
WA V-WHITEHOKSE ROUTE
After viewing the difficulties and
dangers experienced on the McCar
thy trail by packers and mushers as
depicted by the moving picture
scenes exhibited here Saturday
night by Dr. Sugden it is a fore
gone conclusion in the minds of all
who were present that when the
Doctor gets to the coast cities and
places the situation in its true
light before those who contemplate
making a trip to the interior gold
fields that they will change their
minds as to their route, if they
have any intention of going in by
way of either McCarthy or Gulk
ana, and will come In by the natur
al gateway to the interior and that
is thru Skagway, over the White
Pass summit to Whltehorse and
thence by the Kluane lake route to
point of destination.
The way over the trail via Mc
Carthy to the diggings is im
practicable and difficult both
in summer and winter and the
Daily Alaskan has authentic ad
vices that at the present writing if
is utterly impassable on account of
the heavy snowfall that occurred in
that section recently. Even under
the most favorable conditions the
only way of transporting freight in
quantity is by pack horses or double
ender sleds and this method is ob
viously impracticable where large
amounts are to bo moved with cel
erity.
Over the summit or tne wfilto
Pass, however, the way is open the
year round and a thousand tons,
should such a shipment arrive hero
consigned to the interior, can oe
transported over the coast range i->
Whltehorse as soon as it can l>o
transferred from the boats to the
freight cars of the W. P. & Y.
Route, which are always available
and ready for use.
After reaching Whitehorse ex
cellent facilities are to be found
for the distribution of the goods to
their destination. Should it be
found necessary a dozen, or twenty
or fifty two, or four-horse teams,
each with a capacity of from 4500
to 8,000 pounds, can be put in ser
vice and travel over a road in which
there are no obstacles to rapid
progress nor danger to either man
or beast.
Herman Grimm is a Skngway bus
iness man who has faith iu the fu
ture of his home town and a be
lief in its ultimate recognition as i
the only route to the interior by i
travelers from the outside. Sat
urday night he bought $10 worth of
admission tickets to Dr. Sugden's
moving picture exhibit and passed
them around to his friends. Yes
terday when he heard a collection
was to be made to help defray Dr.
Sugden's expenses while in the
coast cities, he, without solicita- ]
tion, sent word to the committee to j
call on him for $20, and when <
they did so later in the day doub- I
led it and gave them $40.00
The long nights of winter will
be gradually growing shorter from
now on. Yesterday was the short
est day of the year and it will on
ly be a short time until the change
from darkness to daylight will be
very perceptible.
