ALASKA’S CALL
TO TOURISTS
Prospective tourists are now
studying the summer schedule
of Alaska steamships and the
descriptions of special sight
seeing trips by land and sea,
which appear in print from
time to time, as the season ap
proaches, says the Fairbanks
News-Miner. There are many
agencies on the Big Outside,
conspicuous among which may
be mentioned the Alaska Rail
road publicity offices, the two
big Alaskan steamship lines
and the Canadian steamship
lines, the various railroad lines,
and individuals who intend to
pilot touring parties to the
Northland during the tourist
season.
But there is something that
Alaska and Alaskans must be
told, sooner or later, and now
is just as good a time as any
other. Alaska and Alaskans
must provide morel adequate
hotel accomodations to care for
this ever-increasing number of
tourists. Alaska cities, towns
and settlements have hotel ac
comodations to properly care
for the ordinary travel through
these communities, but it has
not sufficient accomodations
to care for the tourists that are
likely to visit the big northern
territory this coming season.
This big tourist business is
not a transitory thing, to last a
few years only. Rather it is a
permanent business that will
grow with each passing year.
To make it grow and expand
until it reaches enormous pro
portions, not a visionary pre
diction, good hotel accomodat
ions are absolutely necessary,
and it is up to Alaska and
Alaskans to provide these ac
comodations. It is going to be
a big job, but it is going to be
a profitable one, well worth
while.
Alaskans should take thought
on this situation, which is a
self-evident proposition. We on
this end of the line will do our
best to boost traffic business,
but we can boost with a better
will if we know that the tour
ists will be provided with suit
able living accomodations
while visiting the Great North
land.

A CUE FOR COMPANY
DIRECTORS
( Vancouver Financial News )
Advices from Ottawa would
indicate that only a miracle
will forestall a revised levy on
mining stock transactions, se
j verely penalizing low-priced
I stocks in trading. The effect
of this law, applicable July 1,
very logically would be a sharp
curtailment in the buying and
selling of such stocks and con
sequently a tendency of prices
to decline.
Since the Federal government
is making this ruling which
' would be primarily if not ult
imately adverse to the interests
of holders of these “penny
stocks,” it remains for the di
rectors of companies whose
shares would be affected to act
quickly in behalf of their share
holders. And it would appear
that the course of action would
be immediate steps to recap
italize by “boiling down” the
share capitalization and in
many cases issuing one new for
10 old shares.
Western Canada development
companies, for the most part,
will receive the new taxation
scale as unwelcome, but wis
dom dictates that they adapt
themselves as rapidly as poss
ible to the change.

TIME AND CHANCE
There is a destiny which
shapes our ends and our lives,
but what a frail and inconspic
uous destiny it is! One little
incident may change the whole
tenor of a life, has made a suc
cess of failure, has given fame
and even immortality.
Joseph Conrad, that greatest
of all writers of sea stories, be
came a “sea-rover” because his
first books as a Polish boy
were of the sea and explorat
ion. What might he have been
as a man if his library as a boy
had been other than it was?
Benjamin Franklin followed
vague inclination to ship from
Boston to Philadelphia and be
came Pennsylvania’s leading
citizen of his time, the spokes
man for the American colonies
and an immortal figure in
American history. What might
he have been had he continued
in the employ of his brother’s
print shop?
Who can account for the
chance stroke of the spade
which uncovered the tomb of
i Tutankhamen, the fortunate
: discovery of the first oil well
at Titusville, Pa., and the gold
nugget which precipitated the
rush of the forty-niners to Cal
ifornia ?
Many of us can place our fin
ger on one happening, perhaps
accidental, which was the de
ciding factor in the determin
ation of our life’s work. The
chance perusal of an item or an
advertisement in a newspaper
has been the deciding factor
for thousands.
When Elbert Hubbard wrote
that "Man should follow the
dictates of his passions” he did
not mean that he should give
full play to his desires, but
; the subconscious inclinations of
man are sooner to be obeyed
than obstacle-finding, inspir
ation-dampening, deliberation.

“I’m so proud of my boys.”
said the happy mother, “Not
one of them has ever been ar
rested except for speeding and
on liquor charges.”
Doctors are said to be going
back to the old practice of vac
cinating on the arms instead of
the legs. The scars had become
too noticable.
Junior: “Columbus certainly
was some prophet.”
Senior: “Why?”
Junior: “When he discovered
America he shouted, ‘I see dry
land.' ”
If you want to take the real

Engine Driver’s Sweetheart:
“And do you always think of
me during your long night
trips?”
“Do I? I've wrecked two
trains that way already!”
“Oh, you darling!”
The Golfer: “What do you
think I went round in?”
His Wife: “Double.”
“What do you mean?”
“Double what you’re going
to tell me.”
The niftily dressed girl these
days puts on step-ins and steps
out.
A man called on the mayor of
a small town. “You may not
know my name,” he said, “but
20 years ago, when I was a
| poor boy in this town, you gave
j me $25 and said: “Go ahead,
I my boy, and when you’ve made
; good return to your home. I
! can wait for the $25.’\
“Yes?” said the mayor with
interest.
“Well, here I am. I suppose
you don’t happen to have an
other $25 on you?”
Mrs. Dash: “Baby will be
able to walk soon.”
Mr. Dash: “D'you think it’s
worth the trouble to teach her?
Hardly anybody walks nowa

“Do you know Lord Heath
moor? I often shot at his coun
try seat.”
“Gracious And did you hit
it?”
“I beg your pai-don,” said the
man after having given up his
seat in the street car.
“I did not speak,” said the
fair recipient of his generosity.
“Sorry, I’m sure,” replied the
man. “I thought you said
‘thank you.’ ”
A satisfied customer merely
refrains from kicking, while an
enthusiastic customer is one
who boosts your line whenev

“Tommy,” said the teacher,
“come to the map and point
out Australia to the class.”
Tommy did so.
“Who discovered Australia,
George? the teacher asked the
next boy.
“Tommy did,” was the reply.

The Blueberry Kid says the

Clerk: “I want to get up in
business, sir, very much.”
Boss: “Then you’ll have to
get down to business better
than you do.”
“Why was Solomon the wisest
man in the world?” asked the
teacher.
“Because he had so many
wives to advise him," answered
the bright boy.
“Well, that is not the answer
in the book, but you may go to
the head of the class," replied

Two negroes were being
lynched down South. As there
were no trees in the vicinity,
the condemned men were tak
en to a trestlapwork bridge ov
er a swift-running river. The
first intended victim fell before
the noose could be draped -
around his neck. He swam
ashore and escaped. The re
maining victim looked on with
horror and said: “Please tie
dat rope carefully, boss, be
kas I can’t swim a lick."
