WHITE PASS RAILWAY DISCOURAGE TOURISTS:
 STOP FEM AT DAWSON

MT. and Mrs. M. F. Greeley, of Puyallup, Wn., tourists who have been visiting Alaska the past few months, arrived from the Interior on one of the last trains. MT. Greeley, who was formerly editor of an east ern farm journal, states that when they attempted to buy tickets at Skagway for Yukon and lower river points they were told it's was impos- sible to get from Dawson to Nenana, and that their tickets would have to read by way of Whitehorse on the return trip. Arriving at Dawson they secured cabins and spent several weeks at the Yukon metropolis, where MT. Greeley found he had been deceived and that it was possible to come out by way of the government railroad.
 He circulated a petition signed by practically every one in Dawson, urg- ing that tickets be sold tourists al- lowing them to go down the Yukon and out by the Alaska railroad, but found much opposition to the plan from government officials and oth- CTS. He declares that 160 in his par ty were anxious to take the railway route but were refused permission and it was only by exercising his de- termination and paying no attention to the knocks. He and his wife were delighted with their trip and will try to arrange at Seattle for future tours by this route.
