“The greatest present need of
Alaska, in my opinion, is publicity,”
said H. P. Williams, a wealthy re
alty man of Detroit, to a representa
tive of The News, last week, while
he and others of the Yukon’s pass
engers were the guests of Nenana
for a day. “The people of th«
States, generally speaking, and par
ticularly residents of the Eastern
states, know practically nothing
about your great country,” contin
ued the real estate man. "They
picture the North as a vast terri
tory of snow and ice, a worthless
and inhospitable parcel of Uncle
Sam’s domain, and question the san
ity, almost, of one who talks of
visiting Alaska. Many of my friends
i laughed at me when they learned
| that I contemplated a trip to the
j North, and assured me that my
time would be wasted. My inten
tion, at the time I left the East, was
merely to visit the Alaska coast. I
had heard a little about the scenic
' beauties of that section of the ter
• ritory, but I knew absolutely noth
ing of the Interior. When I reached
the coast, however, and found so
much of interest there—so much to
see and so much activity in fishing
and mining, I concluded that there
must be other attractions beyond the
mountains, and straightway arranged
to put in the greater part of the
| >
i summer in the North. And I am
j 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 want to visit the
Nome section and the country be
tween Nenana and the coast, and I
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.”
Mr. Williams is accompanied by
his wife and two sons, and they also
appear to ha%'e found much enjoy
ment in the journey. Mr. Williams,
when asked if his family had not
been incommoded by the lack of
conveniences in certain parts of
Alaska which they had visited, ex
plained that they had done a great
deal of traveling and had learned to
accept conditions as they found
ithem, and in that way 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 be
longed here.
Mr. Williams believes there are
many people in the East who wouli
welcome the opportunity to invest
money in Alaska if they knew 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,
land especially Easterners, do not
j realize the opportunities that are
ihere.
1 The completion of the government
! railroad, he predicts, will help Alas
kans to put the territory on its feet,
by stimulating development and at
tracting capital. But there is much
; to be done, in his opinion, pending
the establishment of through rail
| connection with the coast, in the
!way of advertising the country’s re
sources and scenic attractions. The
tourist travel, Mr. Williams believes,
will be a big item in itself when
Outsiders become aware of the fact
that they can travel quickly and in
comfort to Central Alaska, for the
! j Alaska tour then will be one of the
, most attractive conceivable.
The Williams family will return
to the coast by way of the Rich
ardson highway. From Cordova they
will go back to Skagway, and
thence into the Atlin country, where
they will camp until the end of the
summer, returning to the States on
one of the late boats out of Skag
way.

STATEMENTS OF
The Fairbanks courthouse is re
ported to have be”n the scene, last
week, of a one-round reproduction j
of the Willard-Dempsey battle, in •
! which Game Warden Stephen R. L. I
! Foster and Deputy Marshal Jim
(Hagan essayed the leading roles.;
Those who witnessed the encounter
declare that the only things lacking
were the spectators and the settings,
] both of which might easily have
j been obtained had the set-to been
; properly advertised. In no other,
(respects did the Toledo affair have:
‘anything on the informal meeting
' of the two officers, one of whom is
(almost as big as Willard, and the
other about twice as fast as Demp
; sey and just as nervy. And, like
the Toledo bout, the finish came
almost before the start. Nenana’s'
Willard threw up the sponge after.
he had received the first blow, a
| palmer which sent his hat sailing
j across the courthouse corridor.
The trouble is said to have re- j
I suited from certain testimony given j
i by Foster during the Vachon hear-j
ling, differing radically from that;
I given by the deputy marshal. When j
: asked later to explain why he had (
not stated the facts as they occurred !
at Tolovana, Foster is said to have,
branded Hagan’s statement as ur.
true, whereupon Hagan slapped the
warden on the face.
Foster is reported to have accused
the marshil’s office of trying to take
! away from him the glory of making
the Vachon coup, whereas, as a mat- j
ter of fact, according to statements
made by representatives of the de-1
partment of justice, the first in- I
formation regarding the furs came
to the marshal’s office at Fairbanks
direct from Eagle, and the whole I
(affair was conducted by Marshal •
Erwin, with Game Warden Foster as-!
sisting, by request, in his official
l ’V’ "" " ]
capacity as ex-officio fur warden. I
The search of the mails at the
Tolovana postoffice w*as conducted bv
Deputy Marshal Hagan, under a spe
cial warrant issued at Washington
and obtained through the office of
the United States marshal at Fair
banks.
The point on w'hich the two of
ficers differed in their testimony had
ito do with certain fur declarations
‘which were turned over to Deputy
(Hagan by the Tolovana postmaster
Hagan testified that he had received
:the declarations in the presence of
Foster and that both had read them
Foster is said to have denied, on the
witness stand, that he had seen the
transaction or read the papers in
Hagan's presence, and the meeting
| of the two men later, in the cor
ridor, is said to have been brought
about by Hagan with a view to as
i
certaining from the game warden
,why he had failed to state the facts.

Fourteen black marten skins are
reported to have been found by the
customs officers in a trunk belong
ing to Frank O’Farrell, an employe
of the Vachon store at Tanana.
The trunk was shipped by O’Farrell
to himself at Seattle, and was en
route out of the country when the
discovery of the furs was made.
The seizure was reported to Mar
shal Erwin, at Fairbanks, late Sat
urday, and the furs probably will be
forwarded to the marshal's office on
the next boat for Fairbanks.
