ALASKA IS BEING
ILL AM
Never before in the history ol
transportation cl the north has sc
preat a volume of advertising liters
ture been distributed through th<
populous centers of the east. lull;
one million copies of attractive fold
ers and booklets have been issued
principally in the country lying eas
of the mountains, and in ad-l'tioi
thereto special tourist and travel ini
passenger agents have been employe
to itnvass the coupon ticket offices
railroad headquarters, winter resort
and hotels. The work began earl;
last December. Magazine and news
paper advertising was also brough
into play, with the result that tour
ists are already swarming northward
For the American lines, the Alaski
Steamship Co., the Border Lim
Transportation Co., the Humbola
Steamship Co., the Pacific, Alaski
Navigation Co., and the Pacific Coas
Steamship Co. each issued unusuall;
attractive illustrated folders, whili
for the Canadian lines the Canadiai
Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunl
Pacific Railway each issued specia
Alaska folders covering their steam
ship service to Skagway. While al
of the folders described the insidi
passage from Seattle to Skagway
some of the companies issued extn
advertising to cover the long circh
route, taking in the entire Yukon riv
er, the excursions to Cordova, An
chorage and the Alaska peninsula, ex
cursion to the midnight sun countr;
and mid-summer voyages to Nome
The two principal railroads of Alaska
the Copper River & Northwester!
railway, and the White Pass and Yu
kon route likewise issued their owi
literature, with the general resui
that the tourist season is showing u|
to better advantage than during an;
past summer, with the possible excep
tion of the Alaska-Yukon Expositio
year.
On top of this united effort, th
government publicity experts ii
Washington have been enabled to ge
their material daily in the press dis
patches, with the result that this un
usual publicity has instilled a desire
in the heart of thousands to visit the
northland, where the government is
building its first railroad.
Passenger officials in charge of the
American lines publishing and ar
ranging for this wholesale distribu
tion were C. D. Dunann, of the Pa
cific Coast Steamship Co.; C. E,
Flye, of the Pacific Alaska Naviga
tion Co.; Max Kalish, of the Hum
boldt Steamship Co.; B. L. McMullen
of the Border Line Transportation
Co., and John H. Bunch, of the Alaska
Steamship Co. and Copper River &
Northwestern railway. Cer.eral Traf
fic Manager A. F. Zipf, of the White
Pass & Y'ukon handled the campaign
for that company, while the vast num
ber of eastern agencies and connec
tions of the Canadian Pacific anc
Grand Trunk Pacific thoroughly cov
ered their field.
The five important American rail
roads terminating at Seattle, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the
Great Northern, Northern Pacific
Southern Pacific and Union Pacific
also included Alaska most generously
in their folder and booklet space, sc
that the territory has received splen
did publicity and every steamship is
sailing to the north with full passen
ger lists.

BRITISH HOARD AMERICAN
BACON AND BOOST PRICES
LONDON, July 20.—American ba
con is being hoarded in England to
inate the price to the consuming pub
lic,it is charged today by the Liver
pool Post.
The paper says that if the stocks of
! bacon at present in storage in Liver
pool were offered for sale in normal
quantities the retail price would drop
! to between 16 and 18 cents a pound.
Good bacon now costs the average
■ citizen 32 cents a pound.
Huge quantities are being shipped
to Liverpool, the story states and
' “they are being kept out of the mar
‘ ket for no other reason than to send
. up prices.
"There are in Liverpool and Bootle
[ (near-by) .about a dozen large cold
storages and practically all of these
have as much bacon—chiefly Ameri
’ can—as they can find room for. Prob
ably as much as 76 per cent of the
storage accommodation is monopo
’ lized by bacon. A reliable estimate
' of the number of 700-pound boxes
stored in Liverpool just now places
the total at between 80,000 and 90,000
over 56,000,000 pounds, valued at
;‘ more than $12,500,000 wholesale.”

CARUSO MAY 1JK CALL
ED T OTHK COLORS
FLORENCE, Italy, July 20.—
Should the war endure another year,
Enrico Caruso probably will be call
ed to the Italian colors. The singer
today is back recreating at his sutn
I mer villa in the Florentine suburbs.
Caruso belongs to the class of "7 3.
The men of ’83 are under arms. Cer
: tain in-between classes even now are
are waiting and preparing for the
call. The tenor had a touch of war
on his recent voyage from America.
He sailed on a French liner, which
during the last day of its journey to
Bordeaux, was busy avoiding Her
man submarines.
Caruso at this moment is most
concerned with the problem of re
ducing. He thinks he has solved it.
Five pounds melted away from him
in as many days His plan is five
hours of daily cross-country walking
in either rain or sun. Use a march
step and do not avoid hills and other
obstacles. Look for them. "Do
this,” he says, "and you feel like a
20-year-old.”
