Treadwell assumed quite a metropol-
itan appearance last Sunday evening,
with the two big steamers Spokane and
Cottage City tied up at the wharf and
the crowds of tourists strolling about
taking in the sights of our far-famed
and interesting city. Old Jupiter
Pluvius, the weather god, has obliging-
ly turned loose in unlimited quantities
the choicest brand of his stock in
trade. so it is more than likely our
tourist friends will remember with the
utmost pleasure their trip to the "froz-
en- Northland." The increased travel
this summer should do much toward
correcting many of the existing false
impressions as to Alaska.
The steamer Jefferson with her load
of Medicos and their wives, spent some

rendered by one of the ladies of the
party, Dr.. l. H. Moore of this place,
was instrumental in getting out some
souvenirs for the occasion, containing
information regarding Treadwell in
particular and Alaska in general, also
some little speeches of welcome set
forth in rhyme DR.. Moore made the
round trip to Sitka with the party. On
the departure of the steamer from
Treadwell, there was some speech
making and many expressions of ap-
probation and enjoyment of their visit
here.
