A friend in Cordova has received
word from a Seattle man who is in
close touch with the financial and iu-
dustrial situation back East that
there Will be heavy tourist trade to
Alaska this coming summer.
This same party writes that the
Canadian coal discovery on White
river made a big nit outside. He de
clares the terms under which the
coal can be developed in Canada are
81 per acre per year for 2,1OO acres
for each individual and royalty of
cents per ton for the coal mined.
The claimant leases the ground for
81 per year and must continuously
work his ground in miner like way
in order to retain possession.
The Seattle man also states that
more money than ever before will be
invested in Alaska fisheries this sum
mer, especially in establishing new
salmon canneries. He says the eager
ness being shown by eastern capital
to get into this business amounts to
positive craze.
Heretofore the tourist trade has al

Mothers of little babies that suffered

big cities.

tall buildings and In open lots, with

tent. When all was ready mothers
Of babies under two years we're invited
to leave them at the nearest available
tent over night, SO that the young
sters, in addition to enjoying the privi-
lege Of sleeping out Of doors, could
also receive the attention of trained
nurses and doctors free.
Some of the tents have a perforated
iron pipe extending along the ridge
pole and connected with the city water
supply. On very hot nights the water
was turned on and allowed to stream
down over the canvas. By evapora-
ton 1t greatly reduced the tempera-
ture inside the tents. Some of the
tents were also kept cool w the use
Of large blocks of ice in tubs before
the entrance. Electric fans blew the
cold air from the ice into the tents
sufficiently to keep the babies com
fortably cool. .." .s""'>
