apparently has been no slackening of
the pace people ■ travel, according to
Harry Cribb, sourdough Alaskan, who
returned. to. Anchorage recently from
a visit of seveal months on the Pa
oitic oast.. It was his first trip to the
States in. 14 years, and he declares
that it will be at least that many
more before he will ventture ouside
again* He does not like the one-night
stands^ which seem to be a necessary
feature of vacation trips*, and he does
not like the hurry which is character
istic of all the cities he visited, from
Seattle to the Mexican line.
Being a builder himself, Mr. Cribb.
measured conditions by the amount
of construction under way along the
ooast,. and he report that he did. not
see a great activity along the line.
There appeared to be virtually no
building under way in. Los Angeles
and little in. San Francisco; there was
some activity in Portland, and con
siderably more in Seattle, the Puget
Sound city apparently having a good
lead qver all other coast towns in
building operations.
Mr. Cribb spent more time in. San,
Francisco than in any of the other
aities and had. a better opportunity, to
uberve conditions there than else
where. They impressed .him, as being

considerably belo wnormal, with many
men walking the streets in search of
work or the price of a meal. He was
approached on an average of about
twice each block he walked.
The Alaskan ran across Bill Mc
Fhee. oldtimer of Fairbanks and
Dawson, while he was crossing Mar
ket street one day and met him sev
eral times later. The old war horse
of the early days is still hale and
hearty in spite of his 80 years or
more and his inability to see and
hear as well as he once did. He goes
about the busy city unaided and is
well Iqoked after by his many old
time friends of the North.,
In order to meet the steadily grow
ing demand for additional hotel ac
commodations, Frank I, Reed, propri
etor of the Hotel Anchorage, has pur
chased the property at the corner of
Fourth and K streets, known as Bax
ter’s corner, and is planning the erec
tion. of ii modern three-story, fire
proof hotel building- The ne wiiotr-L
will repneser.t an investment of ap
proximately. $00.000,r it. being, under
stood that the purchase price of the
lot alone was $10,000..
It is. possible that. work, omthe. pro
posed. structure will, start during the
early summer. It is believed by: Mr.
Reed that at. the ratfe the tourist
travel is increasing there will be de
mand for all the accommodations, the
present building and. the new one will
have, to offer by the time the new
structure is ready for occupancy. -
