ALASKA’S BIG YEAR
Inquiries at travel agen
cies and advance bookings
with steamship lines indi
cate that Alaska will have
a great tourist season this
year.
Ti •anscontinental railroads
are cooperating to increase
the natural interest in the
northern territory by bring
ing it to the attention of
prospective summer travel
ers.
Tourists are awakening to
the fact that the Alaska
trip offers much in the way
of scenic interest, comfort
able travel and natural cur
iosities.
The journey by way of
the inside passage to the
Northland has no counter
part in the world.
Among steamship men it
is predicted that Alaska
will have more visitors this
year than at any time since
the great gold strikes at
Nome and Fairbanks, a gen
eration ago.
At the height of the tra
vel season which they ex
pect to be reached in June
and July,there will be daily
sailings of freight or passen
ger ships from Seattle to
Alaska.
In anticipation of the in
crease the Alaska Steam
ship Company has added
two large passenger and
cargo vessels to its fleet.

A DEMOCRATIC KING
The new King of England,
still the Prince of Wales to
most of us. is quite a Demo
cratic fellow and early re
ports on the beginning of
his regime as ruler indicate
he is going to continue the
policy he adopted before as
cending to the throne.
Fraser Hunt, widely kno
wn writer and neighboring
rancher of the former Prin
ce in Canada, has predicted
Edward VIII will be the
last King of England be
cause of his democratic ten
dencies and trend away
from royalty coupled with
the universal decline of
monarchies. That may or
may not come to pass, but
it is evident the new King
is going to go right ahead
being a good fellow.
His first act as ruler,which
indicated his independence
was to step in an airplane
and hop from Sandringham
to London to attend to of
ficial matters, the first Eng
lish monarch ever to do
such a thing. Foggy wea
ther made the return trip
by air impossible, so the
young King went home by
ordinary train, mingling
with the passengers and
making himself an all-aro
und agreeable companion.
Such acts in England are
considered more or less bad
taste, bad form and bad
judgment, but the spry
young ruler can’t be bother
