 The season is at hand when people who intend to spend the following summer in travel begin to cast about for the most attractive itinerary Europe is not yet prepared to receive any great number of visitors. In time hundreds of thousands will flock there to view the scenes of the great and to visit other historic centers In the meantime, the American continent is the sightseeing for the people of the continent.
 No more attractive region exists than Yukon and Alaska. This Northand has peculiar glamour. It is incomparabe. Others will offer certain induce the midnight sun is sure to exert it's peculiar over vast percentage of those who want to know of the world
 The large excursion companies of America now begin booking patrons As rule. their so-called Alaska business includes trip merely up the coast from Vancouver Seattle to Ketchikan. Juneau and Skagway or possibly on to Cordova. Anchorage and Valdez, and return. Only fraction of the travel CTS come to the interior of Yukon More will come if they know of the halycon conditions here in sum- mer and the accommodations and comforts. Dawson has not been adequately advertised.
 Dawson hotel keepers jewellers, fur dealers and others reap neat harvest from all visitors, and all dwelling here in turn share the benefits in degree
 Unfortunately, there seems little, if Dawson advertising data lodged with the large and transcontincntal railway lines and steamship con- panios giving facts about this region Even traffic Alaskan ocean ships seem ignorant of thee fact this region is without equal as summer retreat and is e well prepared to receive the visitor.
 No be offered why data about this region should not be sent from Dawson all tour ist centers and to all transportation lines. while every reason exists why the same should be sent.
 If Dawson is to prepare and forward such data now is the time to assemble it and to on it's way Barely enough time exists to place the data in the hands of those interested
 People who visited here last year and those of previous years went away enthusiastic. Every one of them doubt has been telling glowing tales this winter of the North. If they be supplied with data reports It will big returns to Dawson at slight outlay Now is the time to get busy.
