'PROF. THOMAS
TELLS OF TRIP
In a recent issue of the Seattle
Times appeared the following article
regarding Professor Thomas, who was
in Fairbanks during the summer. It
tells of his work in the north and is
of interest to Alaskans:
“After four months spent in taking
moving pictures, gathering new infor
mation, climbing mountains and hunt
ing big gatue throughout all parts of
Alaska, Pfof. Lowell Jackson Thom
as, of the faculty of Princeton uni
versity, well-known journalist, world
traveler and lecturer, has returned to
Seattle with new data and pictures of
the wonders of the “Golden North” to
place before the American people this
winter.
Professor Thomas has had adven
tures this summer that would make a
Jules Verne hero envious. He arriv
ed from Alaska on the Mariposa. Be
fore going on east he intends to make
another trip to the summit of Mt. Ra
nier, another expedition through the
heart of the Olympic peninsula and
several side trips into the Cascades to
obtain new film of this section to sup
plement what he has obtained in past
years.
Professor Thomas, in conjunction
with his work at Princeton, devotes
his evenings to delivering illustrated
travelogue lectures in New York, Phil
adelphia and other cities of the east,
on Alaska and the Pacific northwest.
He has returned from Anchorage, fill
ed with enthusiasm oyer the future of
Alaska.
He believes that the new railroad,
as a government seal of approval on
Alaska, will cause the population of
the territory to double within six
years. He also believes that the eyes
of the country are being focused on
Alaska, because of the tremendous
out of copper this year, because of the
great development in mining low
grade bodies of gold ore around Ju
neau, because the world is looking
more and more for a large part of its
food supply from the waters of Alas
ka and also as a result of the in
creased tourist travel to the north.
Many Side Trips.
From the time Professor Thomas
left Seattle in May until his return he

There are a number of the most progressive business and
professional men in Anchorage who believe in it, and have
proven the strength of their conviction by joining the Chamber

furnishes information; it promotes and protects the best in

you afford to permit a few men to carry on this organization
without your help?

munity by becoming a member of the Chamber of Commerce
and help for a better Anchorage.
DO IT NOW.
The Chamber of Commerce furthers the unified interests

we respectfully solicit your application for membership.

has traveled rapidly. He was accom
panied on many of his side trips in
the interior by Col. W. P. Richardson,
head of ^he Alaskan Road commission;
J. F. Pugh, head of the Customs de
patrment; Bishop P. T. Rowe and At
torney W. A.Gilmore, of Nome.
On his way north the lecturer took
moving pictures of all the towns in
southeastern Alaska, but spent most
of his time gathering data and film of
mining and fishing around Ketchikan,
Wrangell and Juneau. In Taku inlet
he used a reel of film in taking a pic
ture of the steamship Jefferson pass
ing in front of the glacier and picking
her way among the icebergs. On July
4 he attended the joint celebration at
Haines, arranged by the soldiers from
Fort Seward, the Chilkat and Chilkoot
Indian tribes, and the residents of
Haines, Dyea and Skagway. Here he
took pictures of the annual war-canoe
race between the Eagle and Raven
clans from Klukwan and the ball game
between the soldiers and the natives.
Before leaving Skagway, the lectur
er, accompanied by Cecil Cole and J.
C. Stewart, of Seattle, ascended most
of the peaks at the head of Lynn ca
nal.
In order to get the best pictures
possible of the famous White Pass &
Yukon route from Skagway to White
horse, Thomas had a flat car placed in
front of an engine and then made four
trips over the line.
Before going down the Yukon, the
lecturer and Ed. Dixon, a member of
the Yukon Territorial council, shot
Miles canyon and Whiethorse rapids
in a Yukon flat boat, while E. J. Ham
acher, the local photographer, ground
the crank of the movie camera for
both.
In the interior Thomas took pictures
of hydraulic and placer mining in the
Klondike, at Circle City, Eagle, Ram
part, Tanana, Tolovana, Kantishna,
Fairbanks, Ruby, Marshall City, Idit
arod and Nome.
North of Dawson he spent consider
able time photographing life among
the Peel river and Porcupine river In
dians. These tribes have come in con
tact with whites but littel and are very
primitive. The Porcupine river In
dians insisted on taking Thomas into
their tribe and after a wild ceremony
and miniature potlatch, where they
danced their huskie and malamute
dances around the professor, they hon
ored him with the euphonious name,
“Pictooratski Tenjenatai Nunkugatta
tung.”
From Fairbanks Professor Thomas
made a trip over the Valdez trail to
the' coast with Sheldon ,the pioneer
stage driver, and then back to the in
terior, making an 800-mile auto trip
through the heart of Alaska.
Professor Thomas also made a
study of fox farming, halibut fishing
and other industries of Alaska, which
he believes will develop greatly during
the coming ten years.
SOUTH AROUSED OVER
NEGROES GOING NORTH
ATLANTA, Ga.—Sentiment in fa
vor of some action which will pre
vent the present wholesale exodus of
negroes from the south to points
north of the Ohio river appears to be
growing rapidly in many southern
states. The matter is already being
called to public attention in Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Alabama, the
three states which appear to be most
seriously affected, and it is generally
agreed that recent developments in
the labor situation in the southland
make some steps desirable.
When the demand for negro labor
started the department of labor at
Washington aided in sending men to
the north. The first large employer
to make application to the department
for assistance was the Erie railroad.
This was followed shortly by a simi
lar request from the Pennsylvania
railroad. Before more than a thou
sand men had been sent north, how
ever, the department found there
were few non-employed negroes in the
south. For this reason its agents
were instructed to confine themselves
to getting employment for labor in
the immediate section. Results since
indicate that there is sufficient de
mand to take care of all resident labor
throughout the south and under no
circumstances does the department of
labor find a position for a man al
ready employed. It appears that the
desire of the department to see that
the negro remains in the south, pro
vided sufficient work is offered.
