MANY TO VISIT ALASKA
As a result of President Harding’s
contemplated trip to Alaska, the
northern Territory recently has re
ceived more publicity than any o
ther part of America says the Se
attle Times. The Northland next
summer will be visited by more
tourists than ever before in its
history. Officials cf the Government
Railroad and residents in towns a
long the line of the transportation
system are preparing for the re
ception of a great host of travelers
According to cable messages,
grounds at the railway stations, will
be turned into miniature parks and
at the terminals. Seward on the
Coast and Fairbanks in the Interior,
even more pretentious improve
ments will be made. For instance
at Fairbanks a two story station
will be erected and a block of old
structures will be raxed and the
site transformed into a pretty place
of landscape.
But the stations, no matter how
painstaking the efforts to beautify
them, must remain rather incon
spicuous, beside the innumerable
marvels that at once amaze and
charm visitors to the Northland. The
scenic beauties of the Inland Pas
sage are unrivaled in the world.
Wooded mountains rise high on
either side of deep placid water
ways. Narrow channels open at time
into wide expanses revealing vistas
that appear more like pretty fan
tasies than natures realities. The
rugged coastline of Gulf of Alaska
is majestic in its grandeur. At
places in the southwestern part of
the Territory tides atain a height
of thirty-three feet.
The Government Railroad, with
467 miles of main line and seventy
Three of branches, penetrates Amer
ica’s treasure vault and the wonder
land of the continent. Extensive
fields of coal and rich deposits of
gold abound along the right of way.
Farm lands yielding all the grains,
grasses, vegetables and small fruit
of the temperate zone lie close tc
the rails of the transportation sys
tem. A mill at Fairbanks turn:
northern wheat into flour of high
grade quality.
The railroad itself is remarkable
for its feats of engineering. Stee
is laid upon shelves chiseled froir
mountain sides, stretches across gla
cial tundras and passes througl
deep cuts in solid rock. Some of the
longest bridges ever swung intc
place span giant rivers so turbu
lent as to prelude the use of chan
nel piers, and cross gorges anc
1 gulches of abvssmal depths.
Plains, rolling hills and tower
ing mountains vary the inland view
Trains pass in the shadow of Moutv
McKinley, loftiest peak on the Nortl
American and European continents
The waters of the North teen
with fish, and the vast stretches o
open and timbered country abounc
with countless kinds of wild life.
In the summer, the tourist season
daylight is almost continuous anc
the rays of a sun that sinks below
the horizon only a few hours lend:
to vegetatfbn a luxuriance knowr
nowhere else. Wild flowers, infinite
: in variety and unsurpassable in the
brillancy of their colors, flow ir
profusion everywhere.
Trains are equipped with dining
and sleeping cars. To travelers are
available every convenience of ov
erland transportation, while the
attractions of the Northland are
' without competition.
In seeing America, tourists ma;
well go to Alaska first.
The earth is undergoing no gen
eral change in climate.
Despite repeated assertions aroune
the stove in the roadhouse and else
; where, that winters are gradually
growing milder or harder, as the
i case may be. the United States
I Weather Bureau declares there is n<
I evidence of a progressive change o:

climate in one direction or the other.
The fact that the last two years
have been unusually mild in most
parts of the country has provoked
many assertions that winters are be
coming warmer, bureau officials say.
but records can be furnished to
the contrary. Periods have occurred
and will occur again when for a
few years the weather has seemed or
will seem to be noticeably warmer
or cplder than the average. While
there are well-recognized altera
tions in climatic conditions, as of
wet or dry, hot or cold, little is
known with regard to definite laws
of sequence of weather conditions
over extended periods.
TOURIST TREND ALASKAWARD
What promises to be the greatest
year for the sight-seeing tourist has
already begun.savs the Ketchikan
News. Alaska should come into her
rightful heritage this year, for no
where on earth is there a trip com
parable to it.
Seattle has worked its civic pride
to a shadow in an attempt at abat
ing the smoke nuisance common tc
the Puget Sound, but it is not likely
that those engaged in the effort ol
land clearing will pay much atten
tion to a meaningless bill passed bj
the Washington State Legislature
prohibiting burnings during the onl)
burning season.
Prideful Seattleites should direci
their attention Alaskaward. Here i:
a trip surprisingly free from smoke
and even fog. The California trij
by water, while most interesting
cannot compare with the delightful
ness of an Alaska trip". The famou:
“inside passage" is a continual sur
prise to the tourist; islets and hill;
and snow-capped peaks througl
which the steamers thread their way
in their very nearness and approach
ableness constitute a trip so pleasur
able, so healthful and at the sam;
time so economical that Seattle ma\
very profitably call off its barragf
on the settler’s smoke screen anc
boost more effectively for AlaskaT
travel.

GOVERNOR BONE IS HOST
AT INSTRUCTIVE LECTURE
More than 40 persons took a
scenic trip through Alaska with M.
B. Summers at the Governor's Man
sion recently, members of the leg
islature and friends who were
guests of Gov. and Mrs. Scott C.
Bone. Dr. C. C. Calvert, of the
Weather Bureau, made a short
talk on the weather of Alaska re-;
ports the Empire.
In arriving at the value of riches
Alaska has poured into the lap of
the United States, something in ex
, cess of $1,000,000,000 said Dr. Cal
! vert, there has been left out some
1 thing as valuable if not more so,
than any other Alaskan product,
and that is Alaskan weather. He de
scribed briefly the work of the bu
reau's stations in Alaska under Mr.
Summers by means of which storms
sweeping down from the north a
cross Canada and the West, or down
! from the Gulf of Alaska through
, the Northwestern States, are ac
curately forecast. The warnings is
sued from these forecasts, he said,
have been the means of saving mil
i lions of dollars of perishables and
growers of fruits, vegetables etc.
The storms themselves, bringers of
cold weather and snow, are harbin
gers of good and assure more boun
tiful crops, he said. Mr. Summers
took his audience from Juneau to
nearby glaciers, the top of Mt. Rob
erts, Cordova, over the trail through
Kevstone Canvon at Valdez to Pax
son, south of Isabelle Pass on the
Richardson Highway; then back to
the coast and by water to Seward
and out over the Alaska Railroad
to the famous loop section; down
‘ | the Alaska Peninsula posts, Indian
I villages, seal harems in the Pribilof
i Island rockeries, in the field where
the seal are killed; north to Nome
i to a fourth of July celebration:
across the straits to Siberia, visit
ing Aandyr and vicinity; back by
the little and big Diomedes up the
j northwestern coast of Alaska by
Teller, Wainwright, to Point Barrow
returning south and up the Yukon
River by St. Michael, Holy Cross,
Tanana. Eagle, Dawson and White
I horse; a glimpse of Whitehorse
Rapids and Miles Canyon concluding
I the voyage.
As the scenes were thrown on
the screen, Mr. Summers gave a
running narrative descriptive of
each. The collection is well arranged
and contains many fine photographs
After the entertainment was con
cluded. delicious punch and cake
were served to the guests.
