sible for people who desired to
travel between local point* la South
eastern Alaska to do bo either "by
the purchase of ticketa at local
rates or else wait for some boat of
the steamship line over which their
tickets read, there being 'no such

tween the different transportation
companies.

mercial travelers and tourista who
are now visiting Alaska, and who
