ALASKA MAY GET SHARE
OF WAR STOCK SURPLUS
That Alaska will be included in
the provisions of the Townsend sen
ate joint resolution, calling for the
distribution among all the states of
all surplus war materia! remaining
on hand, is the information recently
. received by Governor Scott C. Bone.
■ from Washington, says the Juneau
Empire of recent date. Senator
Townsend introduced the resolution
last spring and its passage is pre
dicted.
At the time the bill was intro
duced no mention was made of
Alaska sharing in the distribution.
Governor Bone at once took the
matter up with Senator Towmsend
and asked the delegate to do like
wise. He has been informed that
Senator Townsend will approve of
the inclusion of Alaska,
i The resolution calls for the dis
. tribution of surplus war materia!
, estimated to be worth a billion dol
lars, among all states on a ration
. proportionate to their population
. The material is said to include
many articles that can be utilized
by the Territory for various pur
, poses. If the resolution passes, the
various state governments will be
• furnished with a li*t of all materials
and can secure their proportionate
shares by making requisitions on the
secretary of agriculture through
whom the secretary of the navy and
secretary of war are required to
• carry out the distribution.
CHANDLER ENJOYED OUTING,
THINKS NORTH HAS CHANCE
W. F. Chandler, wealthy rancher
and vineyardin of California, who
visited the Interior recently, ex
. pressed himself at Seward, on his
way back to the States, as having
thoroughly enjoyed his outing in
.McKinley National park.
.1 He is optimistic for the future
of the North. There are some at
tractions, he says, which are dis
tinctive from those of like nature
in the states, while others do not
make the same appeal to the tourist
as those of their homes.
In speaking of the attractions of
. the park, the eminent visitor said
Mt. McKinley and the wild life in
the park are ithe particular points
of interest. He saw manw sheep,
moose, caribou and a few bears.
Other attractions of the park were
referred to as commonplace.
L The essential thing to place the
park at the command of future
tourists, he pointed out, is the con
struction of trails suitable for sad
dle and pack horses. With these es
I tablished, the future years will see
the park well patronized. At the
| present time, he says, the trail is
not well defined.
