PATHFINDER TO
EXPLOIT OUR
RESOURCES
At the meeting of the Chamber of
commerce yesterday, J. W. Frame, the
publisher of the Pathfinder, was pres
ent and submitted to the chamber his
plan for an annual edition of the mag
agine containing 52 pages and having
a circulation of 25,000 copies. The
October number will complete the
first year of the magazine and this an
nual is to be published on Alaska day
October 18.
The officers of the grand igloo have
been invited to join in the publication
of this mammoth edition of 25,000
copies for general circulation through
out the states.
The chief purpose of the Pioneers
of Alaska, as declared in the constitu
tion of the order, is to “work for the
betterment of Alaska,” but up to the
present year the Pioneers have not
taken up this line of their work to any
great extent.
As has been said by one of the well
known writers of the states:
“Alaska is the most wonderfully mis
understood country in the world,” and
it is the aim of the publisher of the
Pathfinder to unite the Pioneers, the
city councils, the chambers of com
merce. and all others interested in “the
betterment of Alaska,” in one big drive
for this nation-wide advertisement oi
its resources, that the people of the
states may “better understand” its
true worth.
m this union ot tne towns each is to
have one page for every 1,000 copies
of the book taken by such town, at
20 cents per copy when taken in 1.00C
lots. These pages for the different
towns are to be descriptive of the re
sources of that particular town ami
community and showing up of the
commercial and industrial opportuni
ties offered the investment of capita'
or the building of homes.
The object of this “team work” by
the different towns of the territory is
to reduce the cost of printing the mag
azines from 50 cents for a twenty-page
book to 20 cents for a fifty-page book
if taken in 1,000 lots. The 20 cents
per copy is the mere cost of printing
and other expenses of publication, the
chief aim of the publisher of the Path
finder being to establish a- wide circu
lation for the magazine that its powei
for the “betterment of Alaska” for al
future time may be greatly increased
F. M. Kempfer, who is the territoria
representative of the Pathfinder, was
also present at the chamber meeting
and told of the wonderful success oi
the magazine. He leaves in a feu
days for the coast towns of the soutli
with a view to having each of them
join in this big drive for the adver
tisement of the wonderful resource?
of this great northland.
The chamber of commerce was very
favorably impressed with the idea ol
issuing this big edition of the Path
finder and President Boyle was author
ized to appoint a committee to devise
ways and means for seeing that An
chorage was well repersented in the
makeup of the big 52-page book. Judge
Brown was present at the meeting and
heartily indorsed the proposition and
assured Mr. Frame that it would have
his support when Valdez was reached.
Arthur Lang, clerk of the court, was
also present and coincided with Judge
Brown in his personal support for so
laudable an undertaking.—Anchorage

COAL MINES OF FRANCE
BEING OPERATED AGAIN
LENS, France, July 24 (by Associ
ated Press).—For the first time since

of the mines are still flooded but the
pumping out continues. Engineers in

FEW ONLY ARE
PRESENTED AT
KING’S COURT
—
LONDON, July 24 (by Associated
Press). — Restrictions placed upon
i
; American women who aspire to pre
sentation at court are such that near
I ly all of them in London will be dis
I appointed this year. Only eight of the
; many who are reported to have applied
will be presented and they must have
surprised some of the uninitiated.
If married, their husbands must pre
viously have been presented at a
levee; they must have entree to the
White House and if they have been
divorced it must be indisputably
shown that the divorce was granted
in her favor in open trial at which
both parties were represented in court
and where animony and custody of the
children have been granted to the
woman. Even in such cases the de
mand for legal details i$ so minute
that the king, in deference to the ideas
of the queen, it is said, has let it be
known that it is inadvisable for
divorcees to apply at all.
Applications of Americans for court
| presentations must be made to the
American ambassador and he stands
i sponsor for those he selects. Of
| course this feature of the embassy
! work is almost as carefully guarded,
i out of respect for the feelings of the
i many who try and fail, as is some of
the important diplomatic correspond
ence. But it is known among Amer
icans in London that the list of appli
cations is quite long this year.
This is emphasized by an embassy
circular which has come into the
hands of some influential Americans
here explaining what is required of
successful applicants. It is longer and
more explicit than the usual circulars
on the same subject and does not
mince words regarding what may and
what may not be expected.
Considerable space is devoted to
i changes in dress required. In the in
terest of economy the queen has de
creed that women shall no longer wear
head feathers or trains on their
dresses at court. Some of the former
adornments for the men also have
been eliminated, but it still is stipu
lated what kind of buttons they must
5
wear on their knee breeches and that
they must not wear buckles on their
patent leather pumps.
! MOROS MAKE PILGRIMAGE
TO MOHAMMEDAN MECCA
MANILA, July 24 (by Associated
; Press).—Scores of Mohammedan
Moros are reported assembling at
Zamboanga, Island of Mindanao, to
make the pilgrimage to the great
Mosque at Mecca. Many have saved
I for years to make the trip, which ac
i cording to Mohammedan faith, every
believer should undertake at one time
in his life. Government officials at
Zamboanga say many who have made
the pilgrimage in years past have
returned broken in health and strip
I ped of their belongings. Often they
have been brought back at govern
ment expense.
