OUTSIDER SAYS
NORTH IS NOT
UNDERSTOOD
“The greatest present need of
Alaska, in my opinion, is publicity,”
said H. P. Williams, a wealthy realty
man of Detroit, to a representative
of the News, last week while he and
others of the Yukon’s passengers
were the guests of Nenana for a day.
“The people of the States, generally
speaking, and particularly residents
of the Eastern states, know practi
cally nothing about your great
country,” continued the real estate
man. They picture the north as a
vast territory of snowr and ice, a
worthless and inhospitable parcel of
Uncle Sam’s domain, and question
the sanity, almost, of one who talks
of visiting Alaska. Many of my
friends laughed at me when they
learned that I contemplated a trip to
the North, and assured me that my
time would be wasted. My intention
at the time I left the East wras merely
to visit the Alaska coast. I had
heard a little about the scenic beau
ties of that section of the territory,
but I knew absolutely nothing of the
Interior. When I reached the coast,
however, and found so much of inter
est there—so much to see and so
much activity in fishing and mining,
1 concluded that there must be other
attractions beyond the mountains,
and straightway arranged to put in
the greater part of the summer in the
North. And I am free to say that I
am very glad I came. My only regret
is that I cannot see enough of the
country this summer. I wrant to visit
the Nome section and the country be
tween Nenana and the coast, and 1
hope to be able to arrange another
trip for that purpose at a very early
date. I am coming back, but I am
not in a position at this time to say
just when I can get the time to make
another trip.”
ATr. Williams is accompanied by his
wife and two sons, and they also ap
pear to have found much enjoyment
in the journey. Mr. Williams, when
asked if his family had not been in
commoded by the lack of conven
iences in certain parts of Alaska
they had visited, explained that they
had done a great deal of traveling and
had learned to accept conditions as
they found them, and in that wray
managed to get the maximum of
pleasure out of their journeyings.
And they surely seemed to enjoy
their stay in Nenana, fitting in as if
they belonged here.
Mr. Williams believes there are
many people in the East who would
welcome the opportunity to invest
money in Alaska if they knewr more
about the country. Capital is more
plentiful now, he says, than ever
before in the United States, and a
great deal of it is seeking invest
ment. The difficulty with Alaska,
he pointed out, is that Outsiders, and
especially Easterners, do not realize
the opportunities that are here.—

WALL STREET PUBLISHERS
VISITING IN ALASKA
That women can make their place
and name in the world—even in the
financial world—something which has
always been very vague and mys
terious to women—is the belief of
Mrs. R. D. Wychoff of New York
who, with her husband, is spending
a few days in Juneau.
Mr. and Mrs. Wychoff are owners
of the Wall Street Magazine, the
largest financial paper published.
Mrs. Wychoff, proving that her be
lief in women is not idle, is business
manager and secretary and treasurer
of their company—the only woman
to occupy such a position on a finan
cial paper in the country.
“One of the things our paper
wishes to do is to make people,
young men especially, realize the
value of a study of finance,” Mrs.
Wychoff remarked. “Just nowr it is
one of the important things before
the country. With a knowledge of
finance comes the ability to make
proper investments, and if one makes
proper investments during his life
he need not be dependent for his
living upon a salary when he has
reached old or middle age. If we
could help make more men independ
ent we feel we would be doing a won
derful thing for the country as well
as the people.”
Intensely interested in Alaska and
its development, Mrs. Wychoff said
she believed in the future of the
country. “It needs men and women
with ability to work with vision and
practicability,” sh'8'said.
Mr. and Mrs. Wychoff desire to get
information regarding Alaska, its
railroads and various developments.
They are interested in Alaska and
desire to learn more of Alaska, that,
because of their close connection
with the financial world, they may in
terest others in the country.—Juneau

CHILDREN OF SERBIA
FEASTED BY AMERICANS
BELGRADE, July 2 (by mail)—Ten
thousand orphans and school chil
dren assembled the other day at Kal
emegdon, the beautiful park on the
heights above the Save river, to eat
their fill of ice cream, cake and cher
ries and chocolate, as guests of the
American Red Cross and the Ameri
can Relief Administration.
The American colony bought every
ounce of ice cream in town, enough
to give a heaping plateful to each
child. A huge wagonload of cherries
was beside one of the booths. The
park was bright with American and
Jugo-Slav flags.

well equipped for all classe of com
