"I AM THE RESURRECTION”
t -
When pact*, and obtuse questions, confound the finite mind.
Thank God we still have Easter—the bulwark of mankind.
We've had our own Black Fridays, when fondest hope* lie dead—
No ray to fsUe our footsteps, dark skies loomed overhead—
But Christ, The Golden Lining, rails clouds and stones away;
But for that fact 'twere dark, indeed,
Thank Cod for Easter Day!
—Hattie M. d’Orsay, Nenana, Alaska

WRITER SAYS PUBLICITY
IS. BIG NEED OF ALASKA
In an open letter addressed to
'‘Alaskans in general and members
of the legislature in particular",
Burt M. McConnell, of New York,
points out the need of more pub
licity to give the territory its prop
er rating in the States. He says:
"As a sourdough who has been
from one end of Alaska to the
other, and one who ekpects sooner
or later to make the territory his
home, I venture to hope that this
session of the legislature will pro
vide for a territorial publicity de
partment. This is a matter in which
every Alaskan, particularly the men
in business, is vitally interested,
and the need for such a department
probably was never so great as it
is today.
“As one of the. editors of The
Literary Digest I have had an ex
cellent opportunity during the past
two years to study the newspapers
of the entire country. In that time
I have come to realize how little!
is known of the territory. Misstate- I
ments of fact occur in practically1
every one of the hundred or more
editorials that I have collected in
the past year; it is no wonder that'
the people of the Unite/ States
proper have an erroneous idea of
Alaska! Most people have an idea
that Alaska is a good place to keep
away from; that it is fit only for
Eskimos and polar bears. They have
no idea of its agricultural, mining,
fishing and pulp and paper possibil
ities—to mention only a few.
“Now, this is all jvrong; it is a
bad thing for Alaska. And only a
campaign of education in American
newspapers and magazines will help
matters. You and I may have the
greatest faith in Alaska, but the
people down here are not mind
readers. In order to' attract settlers
and capital to the territory, the
people whom you wish to attract
.must be enlightened by a brisk cam
paign of education.
“The ignorance prevailing here re- j
garding conditions in Alaska may J
not be the fault of Alaskans in gen- j
oral or anybody in particular. In
fact, much has been printed about
Alaska down here iii the past few
years, but if the legislature fails to
provide funds at the present session
for the purpose of advertising the
territory, the blame necessarily must
fall upon the heads of the people
of Alaska to whom this letter is ad
dressed.
“You may be surprised to know
that many newspapers have mani
fested a desire for good Alaska
“copy”. I have written several ar
ticles about Alaska for The Literary
Digest, The New York Times, and
other papers and magazines, r.rrd not
only have they been readily accept
ed, but other papers and magazines
have either copied them in their
entirety or quoted from them. All
of which merely shows that there
is a demand throughout the States
for live news stories of Alaska. I
might add that I got my “dope”
mainly from the present publicity
bureau.
“I firmly believe that the mem
bers of the present legislature could
take no step that would do more to
further the interests of the terri
tory than would an act providing,
say, twenty thousand dollars for a
campaign of general publicity in the
States. News and feature stories,
as well as purely informative arti
cles on Alaska would, I am sure,
be “eaten up” by the press. And
there never was a more opportune
time than the present for such a
campaign, as the general business
depression is causing a large num
ber of people to seek new fields.”

Alaska, Fourth Judicial Division,
Nenana Precinct.

Erick Sahlin, deceased.
