HOLD UP PRICES AT

Those Who Go te Ketchikan
Springs for Treatment Pay Big
Prices—Bad Accommodation

According to an

article in the
Ketchikan Miner the Bell island
hot springs, located about fifty

miles from that city, is no longer
a poor man’s proposition. For
many years these springs, which
are owned by the United States

jgovernment, have been the popu-
jlar rendezvous for the men of the

north, and particularly the work-
men who wanted to get
boiled out” in the hot spring.

profit of 87% per cent and coal

Those who have been there re-
cently claim the bath houses are
dirty and neglected and the

steam pressure improperly
handled.

Unfortunately the many who
go there do not find out condi-

tions until after the boat has left
and then they are stuck for a
week before another boat comes.

Those who anticipate going to
these springs should be warned
of the conditions there.

May Back Next Week

It is announced that the
steamer Princess May will re-
sume the C. P, R. service to
Northern British Columbia ports
and Alaska next Saturday, re-
placing the Princess Maquinna,
which has maintained the ser.
