I have begn asked so many questions lately in regard to my suggestion that we get busy and go after a big real Tourist Hotel for Juneau and the opinions expressed with the queStions are so varied, I would like to give the result of my t_hough't on thg matter, arrived at after discussing the subject with all kinds of tourists over several years. A great many Tourists have already looked into the matter of stoppmg over in Juneau, but have been discour- aged out of it. They have been told that our Hotel ac- commodations were limited and besides there would be difficulty in getting a boat out when they want it. The last question will stop them every time, The steamboats cannot be blamed completely for this. Some businesses are like Topsy, they just grow anyhow, but others are the result of planning. We have never made any plans for stop-overs. And one stop-over is worth sev- eral dozen (to the community) of the kind that just flit thru under the present system. We can get about the kind of Hotel we plan for. If we go squirrel hunting we will likely get only a squirrel and if we go out for a bear, we will have more chance to get a bear and can bring back a squirrel anyhow. There are several De Luxe Chain Hotel systems like the Biltmore that might be interested if approached. These systems already have a wealthy clientele that they move about the country according to the seasons. They are just as interested in Alaska as less wealthy people but usually like to flock together. They would think they were slum- ming if they stopped at one of our usual hotels. To interest one of these Systems will take time and money. The proper data must be assembled and presented in person by the right men and followed up to a finish. This is the most discouraging feature of the matter. We have never learned to work together in Juneau. Where the wealthy people like to go the less wealthy trail after. These will fill our ordinary accommodations. The steamboats will give us reservations when we show them the necessity and the demand is worth while. Many years ago when the writer lived in California, the southern part of the State was the joke of the North- ern. We laughed at their hustling for Tourists and said they had a swell desert all right. The Tourists came and invested money in this and that and made it the best part of the State. Some day the principal resource of Juneau will be ex- hausted. Every day it runs it is that much poorer. It is probably remote as we look at time but it will come. We can drift and hope for luck to bring us something to take iits place or we can hustle for something in the meanwhile. There are many towns in North America as large as Juneau whose principal resource is Tourists and their by- products. Because they have been worth little to us is no reason they cannot be improved. We get a million dollars worth of advertisnig every year and let it go to waste. I have been asked why I am so excited about all this. I am not excited but interested. Everything I own is in Juneau and this is my home. It has no permanent value under the present set-up. 1 have had more contact with Tourists than the average Juneauite and therefore have heard more of their opinion of us, and have thought more of what could be done with them. Ketchikan has fish that It would be hard to compete with them for that now, but we could build up the Tourist busi- ness into something just as good and better. ? ROBT. SIMPSON. come back every year.
