M’BRIDE BOOSTING ALASKA
DURING VISIT IN THE EAST
That National Corniaittecir.cn J. C.
McBride is not devoting all i f his
time to politics during his visit in
the East is conclusively proven by
an interview with him, appeiring in
the Pennsylvania Register, a minia
ture four-page daily newspaper pub
lished by the Pennsylvania hotel, in
! N'ew York City, says a recent issue
of the Juneau Empire. Mr. McBride
was a guest at the Pennsylvania
. during his stay in the metropolis.
It will be noted that Sir. McBride
did not mention politics during ihe
course of his convention with the
hotel scribe. The interview follows:
i “Instead of going abroad for the
summer, American touris*s should
visit Alaska. Southeastern and West
ern Alaska has the most wonderful
! climate in the world. In summer it
hardly varies ten degrees, ranging
from sixty to seventy degrees, and
, in winter it is seldom colder than
. twenty degrees above. People have
[ an idea that Alaska is a land of
snow and ice. This is quite erron
eous, for while we have no real
farmlands, in the summertime the
foliage and grass are as green as
they are in the States.
| “Alaska is sparsely settled, with
only about fifty thousand people,
and our largest towns are not much
; over three thousand. It has wonder
ful natural resources which are
as yet undeveloped. Recently the
oil lands reservations were discover
ed and they will be a great source
of revenue and wealth to the en
tire country. Oil with a paraffin
base can be found in great quanti
ties along the coast and already re
, fineries are springing into exist
; ence. In Alaska, too, there are vast
i forests. The pulp industry affords
great opportunity for the invest
ment of American capital and we
: hope that it will soon rival that of
j other portions of the Northwest. Of
course we have the largest salmon
industry in the world,
j “But Alaska is above all things
a sportman’s country. It affords ex
cellent fishing—salmon, halibut and
herring are to be caught in abund
ance. Game, too, is plentiful, and in
this sportsman’s paradise, your true
hunter finds a prolific supply of
deer, moose, caribou and reindeer.
“I would recommend to globe
trotting Americans that they try a
summer in Alaska. There lies before
them the time of their lives.”
Mr. and Mrs. Joe Quigley left
this morning for their home in the
Kantishna district, after a brief visit
in Xenana and Fairbanks.
Mail for the Kantishna will be
dispatched from the local office on
next Wednesday.
Mail Superintendent Dan Leech
arrived at Healy yesterday, bring
ing Lieut, and Mrs. Harvey as
passengers.
PUBLIC RECEPTION TONIGHT

Wrangell. There will be a short
program and refreshments and an
invitation to attend is extended to
everyone in Xenana. The doors will
be open at 8:30.
Joe Dalton got away for the Kan
tishna today, after a winter in the
