sed of Governor Bone, his wife
and daughter, and Miss Mae Hum
mel and Miss Olive Dill, of An

A. Nelson, U. S. Commissioner,
introduced the governor, who
gave an interesting address. He
declared himself most apprecia
tivo of the vast coa*t line with
its industries and industrial pos
sibilities, but added that it was
the vast interior which gave him
his inspiration. After an hour’s
discourse, in which he paid a
glowing tribute to our late Pres
idest and to th» great benefit
his visit will be to the territory
he introduced Col. Gotwals
as the next speaker. The Colonel
gave a very interesting talk on
the combined interests of the A

Highway increasod the tourist
traffic over the railroad three
times, as people taking the trip
want to get ’’into the country”.
The roads are in better condition

fellow townsman, Mr. Frank Ship
who has had charge of the work
Jer the past two years.
The governor and his charming
wife and daughter then formed
a line to shake hands with every
one present, and a delightful so
cial time followed. Governor
Bone plans to tour the country
every year, if possible, to meet
the people and acquaint himself
with their needs.
The party left next morning

able to sit up on board, left them
all somewhat shaken when they
tied up at Grundler, formerly

We are proud to inform our many Alaakan friends that the
Editorial Staff of the Alaska Weekly, during the past sixty days

the Northwest Mining Truth; has furnished a series of articles on
Alaska to the Christian Science Monitor; was the only paper pub

tainment of our principal objective—that of giving Alaska’s mar
velous resources the type of publicity th which their magnitude
entitles them.
