ALASKA'S GROWING TOURIST CROP
Significant of the increased importance Alaska is
gaining as a tourist mecca is the news story in a recent
issue of the Empire relative to the “Grand Pacific
Cruise”, now being advertised in eastern cities.
This cruise, starting and ending in New York City,
sponsored by a national tourist agency using the Cana
dian National steamer “Prince David” under charter,
will take tourists to Alaska, Hawaii, California, Mexico,
British Columbia. Central America, the Panama Canal
and Cuba.
Such an endeavor puts Alaska definitely into the
“big league" tourist class, and undoubtedly is just the
beginning of similar coast to coast cruises which will
eventually bring thousands of tourists to the scenic
beauties of Alaska, in the addition to the regular steam
ship lines now serving Alaska tourist trade.
Calif rnia, Hawaii.M exico and British Columbia
have for many years considered, catered to and adver
tised for tourists, looking upon the annual pilgrimage of
travelers as a business.
Although transportation companies have advertis
ed Alaska’s attractions for tourists the Territory as a
whole has not achieved united action in going after the
tourists as a business.
Individually and collectively residents of Alaska
may well and profitably give more attention to this ever
increasing source of new revenue, first by collectively
aiding in advertising Alaska's unique offerings for tour
ists and vacationists, and individually by creating ser
vices and attractions in the way of fishing and hunting
resorts, adequate hotels and side-trips.—Juneau Empire
C \LAMITOUS WAR
There is no doubt that in the minds of many men
and women the view prevails that war must come.
Ceitain’v there was never a time when anxiety and
dread of approaching calamity was more widespread.
It doesn't follow that the supreme calamity will fol
low. After 1870 it was held that a harsh peace would
be over hrewn within a few years by force of arnjs.
Foitv-four year , of alarms and ex ursions followed be
fore war broke.
This time the danger is ju t as clear, and the actual
experience of it is fresh and vivid in the minds of the
rulers.—L nrion Daily Herald.
Miss Gillis—Who can tell me just what an island is?
Karl—It is a piece of land that went out for a swim.
Sailor—“Don’t bother me. I am writing to mv girl.”
Marine—“But why are you writing so slowly?”
Sailor—“She can't read very fast."— Job Order
Father—So you and that sailor were reading with
the lights out, eh?
She—But we were, Daddy. Lipreading.
“You say your father was wounded in the war?”
“Yes sir; very bad.”
“Was he shot in the ranks?”
“No sir: in the stummick.”
Shadbelly—If you had a pile of money, what would
you do? Would you establish a chain of libraries or
would you found a lot of colleges?
Sourbier—Neither. I’d have a couple of big.juicy
pork chops like in the good old days.

MATANUSKA ESTABLISHED
The success or failure of the Matanuska project
docs not depend upon whether these colonists stay or
return to their former homes.
All the buildings necessary to a community have
been built. Almost 200 homes and their outbuildings
have been constructed upon tracts of land that proved
their agricultural worth under the hands of old settlers
long before the colony was thought of.
These fine homes will never remain untenanted.
These tracts will not lay idle. Whether the present
group of occupants remain or leave will have little ef
fect upon the ultimate standing of this valley as a farm
ing community. Someone will continue with the work
already started, and. as far as we can see, it doesn’t
make much difference who. The act remains that a
farming settlement will have been established in this
district, and after all, that was the idea in the first place.
In a conversation the other day with Pat O’Cotter,
we were impressed with the pertinence of a comparison
he made between colonists and' stampeders.
Pat has taken in all the stampedes to the establish
ed gold camps of the interior. Fairbanks, Ruby. Iditarod
and the rest. “And I never mushed into camp yet.” he
said “But what I met men coming out with the grum
bling comment that the strike was a fake. History tells
you just how wrong they were."—Matanuska Pioneer.
