NOTED LECTURER IS HERE;
GATHERING DATA ON NORTH
Alaska will receive a lot of very
valuable advertising during the com
ing winter, through the medium of
“The Newman Traveltalks”. Mr. E.
M. Newman, one of the nation’s
foremost lecturers, arrived in Ne
nana on the steamer Yukon, ac
companied by Mrs. Newman, for
the express purpose of gathering in
formation relating to the territory,!
its mineral resources, scenic attrac- J
tions and general conditions, con-!
ceming which very little is known I
in the States, particularly in the■
East, where Mr. Newman does most -
of his lecturing.
Mr. Newman has come to Alaska ]
at the request of the late Franklin
K. Lane and of Secretary of the
Interior Albert B. Fall, and also be
cause many of those who attend
the Newman Traveltalks have ex
pressed a desire to hear about
Alaska. Mr. Newman has been en
gaged in lecturing for 19 years
and his following is a very large
one, covering a big part of the
United States. And, in addition, his
lectures are published by many of
the leading newspapers of the
country, so that what he says about
Alaska, will receive the widest pos
sible publicity.
Mr. Newman had intended to visit
Iceland this summer, but he was
prevailed upon to come to Alaska
instead, and he is here with a photo
grapher and a keen desire to know
all there is to be learned about the
Northland. Both still and moving
pictures are used in connection '
with the lectures.
Mr. Newman says that it is the
intention of Secretar Fall, of the
Interior department, and Secretary
Denby, of the navy department, to
visit Alaska this summer, and he
thinks it probable that they will be
accompanied either by a Congress
ional delegation, or by a party of
experts selected by the senate and
house territorial committees. They
are scheduled to leave the East on
July 14, on a battleship, and should
reach Seward sometime in August,
the intention being to made a few
stops on the Pacific coast, after
passing through Panama canal.
The cabinet officers, Mr. Newman
says, will come to Interior Alaska
by way of the Government railroad,
and may continue on across country
to the Yukon river, with a view to
extending the railroad to Rampart
or some other point on the Yukon.
Mr. Newman says that both Presi
dent Harding and Secretary Fall
are genuinely interested in Alaska
and that they will do everything
possible to solve the problem of
Alaskan development without delay.
Secretary Fall was selected as head
of the Interior department, Mr.
Newman believes, because of his
familiarity with frontier problems,
particularly with a view to the in
auguration of a sound development
policy in Alaska.
Mr. Newman accompanied the
Roosevelt South American expedi
tion, and he has traveled in almost
[every other part of the world. He
was attached to the Government
publicity bureau during the war,
and directed the taking of moving
pictures in FYance and Belgium and
elsewhere in the war zone. He was
in the thick of some of the heavy
fighting and so close to the firing
lines that he was gassed on one
occasion.
Mr. and Mrs. Newman will go to
Fairbanks tomorrow, and out to
the coast by way of the Richardson
trail. They will visit a number of
coast points and inspect the Govern
ment railroad before returning to
the East.
The two great needs of Alaska,
in the opinion of Mr. Newman, are
improved transportation facilities
and publicity. He believes the Gov
ernment railroad, when completed
and in operation, will meet one of
the requirements; and the visit of
the cabinet officers and his own
traveltalks on Al:.ska, wi'l help
greatly to enlighten Outsiders re
garding Alaskan conditions and pos
sibilities.

A large piece of frozen sand and
