ANCHORAGE, Aug. 6. — All roads
lead to Anchorage on September .'!,
i 4 and 5, the red letter days In the
calendar of that hustling young me
tropolls. The occasion Is the flr»* an
nual Alaska Agricultural Industrial
Fair, the initial celebration of the ad
vance made In the varied lines of in
dustry by the residents of Cook Inlet
during the past t#o years.
It is not the purpose of the manage
ment to confine the enterprise to the
section contiguous to Anchorage
alone, but a general invitation has
been cordially extended to the various
chambers of commerce of Alaska to
take part in the fair and make use o(
It to the advantage of their respec
tive communities as well. It is in
tended to be truly representative of
every section of the Northland, work
ing toward the end that what benefits
Alaska as a whole will, in like pro
portion accrue to the benefit of (•celt
individual to^’n and community. The
general aim is to call the attention of
the world to the resources of this
great territory that they may lie pro
perly appreciated at their true value
and the rapid development of the
country thereby obtained.
Under the direction of Mr. Andrew
Christensen, manager of the land and
industrial department of the govern
ment railroad, as chairman of the gen
eral committee in charge of the fair,
a score of sub-committees are dili
gently engaged in the task of having
every industry and activity fully rep
resented at the exposition. ThoBe
committees have been carefully
chosen with a view of hav-ing each de
partment entrusted to persons thor
oughly competent to undertake the
work in hand. The finance committee
is being handled by bankers and busi
ness men; agriculture by farmers an 1
merchants; mining by groups inter
ested in producing properties; domes
tic science by the ladies. Each com
mittee is affording full co-operati.m
with the other, and written reports
are submitted to the general commit
tee for prompt action and decision.
In this way the greatest measure of
success is assured.
Every resource of Alaska will be
represented among the exhibits. The
coal of the Mulanuska and Uhlekaloon
liBtricts, the precious metals of Wil
low creek and Broad Pass, the farm
produce of the valleys of the Susltna
ind the Matanuska; all will bo repui
dtioned and properly displayed. Nor
will the native population be over
■looked. They will be called on for an
sxhibit of their art and craft, as will
the trapper with his furs and pelts.
The manufacturers, both local and out
dder, will have displays of their fin
shed products; the fishing compan
es of Seward, Cordova. Seldovia and
Cook Inlet will be asked to join hands
n a proper portrayal of that groat
Industry which has enriched the tables
if the world and the coffers of their
..
owners.
The committees on carnavlla anr
entertainment and sports are offerlm
programs unexcelled In magnitude foi
the diversion of the multitude of visit
ors expected. Prizes will be awarder
all successful contestants In everj
line. There will be baseball games
field sports, and races, and an abun
| dance of good music from the band!
hired for the occasion. Dances will lx
a feature of the evening entertain
ment.
The Alaskan engineering commls
[r.ion hns made s round trip rate of on
I fare from all stations on the railroad
. and shipments of exhibits for display
at the fair nre accepted by railroar
agents free of all freight charges I
addressed In care of the land and in
i dustrlal department at Anchorage
, The steamship lines arc expected tr
grunt reduced passenger rates frorr
ail the coast towns, with a returr
limit long enough to permit excursion
Ists to visit the various points of in
tcrest along the railroad. The trlj.
.will he well worth while to any per
son who has notkseen the great (’ooi<
Inlet country, and will be a revelatlor
to those who have not visited ihls sec
tion since the coming of the railroad
Ample accommodation will be provld
ed for all visitors to Anchorage dur
j ing fair week by tho committee Ir
charge, who have arranged to carr
for the overflow, when the hotels arc
! filled, among the residents of the eitj
and by means of temporary sleeping

| AN APPEAL 1!!
—
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7. — A mem
|orable appeal from President Wilson
j ) the women of the nation, whether
■ iving in city, town or country, was
! issued t >4ay through Secretary of Ag
i (culture D. F. Houston, to take im
i mediate steps to avoid a threatened
loss of vast amounts of perishatde
i ruits and vegetables, especially in 24
states that have asked governmental
| ssistance and Information on the
j object of "How Housewives May Im
mediately Start Canning, Preserving.
Picking. Drying and Storing.”
The advance organization work has
all been completed by a special com
mittee working nationally under the
direction of Secretaj*- of Agilculture
Houston, and the moVl intensive cam
paign, especially in the 24 states in
distress, will be conducted during the
next three weeks
The 24 states which have grown
large crops of perishable fruits and
vegetables, which it is necessary to
conserve in order to avoid appalling
vastes of those foodstuffs, are: Ari
zona, Colorado. Connecticut, Idaho, In
diana. Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland.
Michigan, Nebraska. New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, North Caro
lina, Pennsylvania, Ithode Island,
■south Dakota, Tennessee, Utah. Ver
mont, Virginia, West Vir. nia, Wis
consin and Washington.
One point made liy President Wil
son in his letter are particularly im
portant : *
“lively bushel of potatoes properly
stored, every pound of vegetables pro
perly put by for future use, every jar
I of fruit preserved, add that much to
lour insurance of victory, add that
much to hasten the end of this con
flict. To win we must have maximum
efficiency in all directions. We can
not win without complete and effec
tive concentration of ail our efforts.”
Owing to the shortage in the supply
of tin containers, most of the preserv
ing und canning will have to be done
in glass jarsf of which 900,000 gross,
of the Mason jar type, have been dis
trtbuted through the manufacturers
for the present season's needs. The
total manufacturing capacity of this
type of jar. which will be increased
by the manufacturers as necessary, is
approximately 6,000 gross per day, or
185,000,000 jars during the next iiun
Idred days.
