SEATTLE BODY
‘ IS BOOSTING
NORTHLAND
Through the Alaska bureau of the
Seattle Chamber of Commerce and
Commercial Club, Alaskans visiting in
the States may keep in close touch
with activities throughout the North
ern territory. Alaska newspapers
from every town in the North where
newspapers are published are kept on
file in the Alaska bureau for the com
venience of Alaskans who may be in
Seattle and for other persons seeking
information on the territory.
V
The Alaska bureau extends a cor*
dial invication to every Alaskan to
make the bureau rooms his headquar
tc— -- ’le in Seattle. An attempt has
be«.d made to maintain a file of the
addresses of Northerners during their
sojourn in Seattle, and to supply them
with news of other Ala ^ as in the
*■ city with whom they may wh' to get
in touch. Here at the bureau C\'Wns
the Alaskan may have his maix di
rected and held until he calls for it;
here he may feel free to make ap
pointments with friends, to pass a few
hours reading Northern papers and
to bring Seattle acquaintances to view
the exhibit of minerals, coal, lumber,
fish, agricultural products and various
other products, representative of the
natural wealth of the territory.
The Alaska bureau occupies three
rooms on the ninth floor of the Arctic
building, Third avenue and Cherry
street, and is open to the public from
8:30 in the morning until 5:30 in the
afternoon, every day except Saturday
afternoon and Sunday. In addition
to the exhibit of Alaska products, the
bureau offers more than two dozen al
^ bums, containing photographs of every
section of the country, panoramas of
the principle towns and industries,
United States geological and coast
survey maps to date, government re
ports on the mineral and agricultural
development of the various districts,
and general literature for distribution
to the public. Lists of the Alaska fish
ing industries and mining companies
with offices in Seattle are also distrib
uted by the bureau. An illustrated
pamphlet, “Alaska—Our Frontier Won
derland,’’ including a map of Alaska,
is issued by the Alaska bureau with
detailed information on the general
conditions and opportunities of the
territory. This booklet will be mailed
on request to any address free of
charge.
The purpose of the bureau, organ
ized less than ten years ago under
the direction and insporation of J. L.
McPherson, secretary and manager
since its beginning, has been to serve
Alaska and her people, to make known
to the rest of the world the facts and
opportunities of Alaska, and to strive
for legislation by congress which
would develop the natural resources
of the Northland and insure a perma
nent population of home-builders, from
the southern coast line to the valleys
of the interior. For the past eight
months Mr. McPherson has been liv
ing in Washington, D. C., at the re
quest of Secretary of the Interior
Franklin K. Lane, preparing data to
bring about the appropriation of suf
ficient funds to complete the Alaska
government railroad as soon as pos
sible.

of other friends of Alaska, the Alaska
bureau of the Seattle Chamber of
Commerce is working for improved
transportation service to and through
other ports of the territory; passage
of a coal and oil leasing law which
will hasten the development of Alas
ka’s vast coal deposits; government
aid for homesteaders during their year
on the land; adequate surveys and
navigation aids in Alaska, and develop
ment of the pulp and»paper industry.
