GAPT. GEIGER
FROM OUTSIDE
Thinks That Quite a
Few People May Be
Headed This Way.
Declaring that be bad had a-delight
ful trip both goiRg- oot and.;returning
and that he feed enio'yetf every’moment
since leaving here last Fall, excepting
thd -few days that ho wasobliged’to be
in hospital, Captain W. E. Geiger . re
turned here-on Sunday, looking the
picture of health. In Seattle the Cap
tain underwent three operations at
Providence Hospital, all of theimper
formed by Dr. U. C. Bates, a close
friend, who formerlyy practiced at
Nome, but now one of Seattle’s leading
surgeons. AHVoperataons were most
satisfactory, though necessitating a
stay of fourteen days in the hospital.
This was the Captain’s first trip out
irr eibven years, and he saw many
things that impressed and interested
hfftr.- Among other matters he notes
that, with the general unrest on< the
Outside, the best elements of labor,
those receiving highest remunoratioD,
are looking fortiew fielQh, determined
to move on. Alaska, Mexico, even
far-away Siberia, are rttracting atten
tion. Alaska eaneci&ity will? receive
many newcomers in the near future.
He heard a great deal of talk, both in
Seattle* and Anchorage, concerning
this section, Quite a few, ne says, will
be coming into this section, although
other sections- of the Territory will
probably receive their full share.
The Captain visited thecities . of
Portland", San-Francisco, Los Angeles
and San- Diego. At Los Angeles he
visited with bis two sons and daugh
ter, all of whom he found developing
into fine men and woman, under the
oare of their excellent mother
At San Dibgo. Captain Geiger would
have called upon ex^Governor J.. Pr A.
Strong, but was not aware that he was
a resident of that city until returning
to Seattle.
