New Automobile Co. '
 Organized in Fairbanks

A half dozen young and progressive chaps of Fairbanks have recently or ganized a taxi company and in a few days will start their initial trip of automobiles oevr the Richardson Highway. The Alaska-Jewitt Trans portation Co.,, by which the firm IS known, has as it's head MT. Rivers, former city clerk of the Interior city and one of the best known young men in the Territory. The company plans regular scheduled trip over the highway to Valdez, which port on Prince William Sound, will be their southern terminus.
 Mir. Rivers in a recent statement to the Seward Gateway, said that the Valdez Chamber of Commerce had en- dorsed his company and were lending every aid to make the trips success
 The owners of the company all own new levitt autos, splendid five passenger, six-cylinder touring cars, and are leach and everyone, experl- enced auto drivers, which will tend to lend much to the comfort of the tourists who take the trip. In addl- tion to this, it is stated they are all Alaskans and as such are in posi- tion to discourse with accuracy on points of interest, either along the highway trip or in other parts of the Territory, which should be a great asset, in the form of publicity to the Territory.
 That the firm is enterprising and full of keen zest to make the trip to the tourist, full of interest, IS set forth in the following facts. One of the innovations to be introduced by them will be the opportunity afforded the tourist to visit one of their placer claims and actually pan gold them selves. They will be permitted to keep whatever gold they pan and 1t is a foregone conclusion that every tourist who rides on these levitt cars. will avail themselves of the chance to go gold hunting. What stories they will have to tell their many friends upon their return to their homes in the states.
 In the company's literature which they are sending throughout the U' S., they tell in a simple and sincere manner what the tourist who takes this trip with them, to the many creeks and points of interest adjacent to Fairbanks and the highway trip will see. Fairbanks, situated Tn the heart of the Panama valley, and at the extreme end of the wonderful Alaska Railroad holds thrills of every sort for the visitor. In fact they state, the only thing Fairbanks lacks at the present time, is submarine
 Hundreds of miles of fine highways lead out of Fairbanks to the outmos' points of the fringe of civilization bringing one truly into a primitive land, but a few hours distant from the modern. Should the tourist wish to take fishing or hunting trip ar arrangements can be made with the company to stop over at one ot then camps where guides can be secured and trek into the hills made from and at at nominal sum. One will cer tainly be able to sleep on req spruce bough bed, if they so desire.
 Every turn of the road on th' Richardson Highway, is a fresh sur prise, at all seasons of the year. lh' hardened traveller over this road never ceases in extolling the merit of the three day auto journey thr' Alaska to the coast.
 The Alaska-J Company natur ally maintains it's main office at Falr banks, and the new arrival to tha , city is requested to call at thel office for any information relative t the country in general. In all tn , world, they conclude, there IS n place like Fairbanks.
