Loirs Done It Again
Lou Jacobin’s tenth anniversary edition of his
Guide to Alaska and the Yukon has made its ap
pearance. This year’s 28-page Guide is an almost
complete encyclopedia about Alaska. It combines in
formation for tourists and newcomers with reference
material for residents. It contains both instruction
and entertainment.
It focuses on the present with up-to-date infor
mation on everything, then turns its telescope on the
vistas of the past with a pictorial review of Alaska’s
yesterday. It contains factual information on indus
try and esthetic portrayal of natural masterpieces in
a special picture album. The artistic side is also rep
resented in several of Fred Machetanz lithographs.
Every city and town of any size receives special
attention. A section is devoted to the Alaska Highway
and connecting highways, with listings of highway
lodges. There are sections on wildlife, Eskimos, pho
tography, construction activities, aviation, mileages,
transportation, forestry, agriculture, fur seals, trap
ping, oil and gas, and maps.
There is all the information a tourist needs in
advance on how to come to Alaska, what to see while
here, what to wear and what it will cost. Also a sec
tion in which the visitor may write his memories.
There are historical accounts. There is something for
everyone. Not even the small fry have been over
looked for there is a Children’s Guide, a page of non
sense designed to make the youngster’s smile.
And there are hundreds of photographs aside
from the picture album—of cities, mountains, rivers,
lakes, streams, business establishments, native life,
wild life, and just people.
Jacobin calls it “The authentic handbook of the
Far North” and it would seem to be so. Nothing is
overlooked. '

Robert Service
Writes Poem For
Sourdough Meet
Editors Note: The following
is a special poem written by
Robert W. Service for the In
ternational Sourdough Reunion
and Convention of Alaska and
Yukon Sourdoughs, held at the
Multnomah hotel in Portland
August 16 through 19.
One said to me: "Some gift you've
Shown.
But also you've had luck."
I answered: “yes, I humbly own
I nightly came unstuck.
'Tis true I have a modest name.
And might be reckoned rich:
And yet I fought my way to fame
Up from the very ditch.
“A feckless Highland chiel was I
Who crossed the sea with cattle.
And hit each ruddy railway tie
From Portland to Seattle:
For bread I often begged a bite.
And lousy bunks 1 knew.
But fortune beamed on me the night
I shot down Dan McGrew.
“For Dan M Grew and Sam McGee
Saved me from sordid strife;
And I am grateful to them two
For sunshine in my life.
My turning point in luck, I see,
Refulgently began
The night I roasted Sam McGee,
And perforated Dan."
