His dominant thought is to study tin*

Mr. McCormick has been quick to sec
and appreciate that .Alaska possesses
■innumerable opportunities to attrac'

he comes hack to civil life. And. like
.. those, loo. who know Alaska best, he
appreciates the fact that a strong, con

I Should Commercialize Scenery
t " Addressing tin* people of Seward a
few days ago. Mr. McCormick said:
t ‘Make a commercial value of your
scenery. Your lakes are more beau
jtiful than those of Italy Your mnun
i tains surpass those of the Alps. There
s is more ice in one glacier on the Ke
II I nai peninsula than there is in all
’ | Switzerland
"‘Attract the tourist.’ he urged, ‘for
