Alaska Transportation It's Relation to the Commerce and the Tourist Travel
 of the Country.
(By X. s. Dautrick.)

the end of last year it registered the enormous sum of $S2,S7i.O0O. For the current year it is almost sure to reach the hundred million mark : The passenger travel has grown in proportion to the freight business. but exact figures arc not available. lt was stated last winter. by one of the best known of the water line men. that 3O.O0O people moved in and out of Alaska last year. It re- quires no stretch of imagination to ! comprehend it's growth. Many of us can remember when the "Quecn' made a few excursion trips each season. Now all of the passenger ships carry many round trip. or tourist travellers from June to Sep tcmber each year. and nowhere that I know of-can such sea voy- age be had for the money. Seattle to Sitka and return for $G60O with $500 addition for a trip to the Summit of White Pass-290O feet above sea level where the flags of two nations float side by side and mark the boundary which sep aratcS them. The other trip. west as far as Seward and back to Puget Sound for $lOOO0. with side trip over the Copper River < North western Railway to those marvellous pieces of scenic Childs and Miles Glaciers. Then. there are the numerous trips afforded by the White Pass and Yukon Route frnhi SkaGway: q round trip to Atlin for 5000. to Lower LCBargc for $32 .00 and on down to Dawson. Fort Yu- kon, under the midnight sun. Fair banks and on to St. Michael
 Ten years. looking backward again, three resident agents of water lines represented the transportation buSi- a thing never heard of, except as something very far away.

 some of the steamship lines --tI my mind-arc to be criticised for still featuring Indians. curios. and glaciers to the almost total cXclus- ion of the great industrial develop mcnt of Alaska. They arc. perhaps. also to be criticised for not giving passengers sufficient time at this port to sec what VIC arc and what We have. Frequently, more often than not l believe. they arrive here late in the evening or at night, has, ten away to the westward or the interior. and stop here barely an hour on the return trip. Treadwell,

 just at it's commencement Routes
 Of pleasure travel are not easily de-
 ve!opcd and when we consider the increasing numbers each year it is
 q splendid showing.
 More advertising and more proper explanation of what the trip sIf- lords is required than for many eth CT fields for the reason that we seem very far away tO the average
 person who contcmplatcS a long jour nCy by rail before the steamer ser
 vice begins.
 The transportation lines are doing
 more each year in this respect and
 the people of Alaska are more awake
 to the importance of the business
 than heretofore. We might go a step further. it seems to me. When people step from the steamer here they wander about without any dcfi- nitc idea where to go or what to sec. Could not the Commercial Club work out a plan to have some of it's members and their wives act
 as a reception committee. to meet steamers and show travellers that which would he of most interest to them, provided again. that steamers should arrive in the day time and remain long enough to permit peO- i Dlc to come up town.
 Notwithstanding the shipping ia | ciliticS. which Juneau and the other COaS; towns now enjoy, the great
