Averaging more than 36 visitors
daily, not including local residents
visiting the institution, a total of
2,168 persons have registered at the
Alaska Museum since it moved into
its new quaters in the Territorial
building and opened its doors on
June 13th, according to Curator A.
P. Kashevaroff These figures, he
added, do not show nearly all of the
visitors who have been shown through
the museum during the period men
tioned as fully one-third either neg
lect or decline to sign the visitors'
book.
The institution, said Rev, Kasheva
roff. is becoming increasingly popu
lar /and the rooms are crowded to
capacity shortly after the arrival
of Hteamers both north and south
bound. Many of them linger for
hours and only leave when the warn
ing whistle signals the approaching
departure of their vessel.
The work of arranging the various
exhibits has been delayed consider
ably owing to the rush of visitors.
While the main room is in presenta
ble condition, many of the collections
have yet to be properly placed. The
ore-room and grain and other land
products exhibits are only partially
arranged and as yet not ready for
exhibition. Delay in this section has
resulted from the incomplete condi
