TO FEATURE TRAVEL
IN ALASKA DURING
WINTER MONTHS
Traffic representatives of the
principal air lines and steamship
lines serving Alaska have turned
over to the Alaska Development
Board a program partially de
veloped by them for featuring
Alaska travel during the winter
months, it was announced today
by the Development Board.
Work done by the Board in
spurring organization of an Alas
ka tourist association influenced
the carrier representatives to
turn their program over to the
Territorial agency, according to
R. C. Rose, assistant general pas
senger agent of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, who has been
serving as Secretary of the car
rier group.
The transportation company
men decided at a recent meeting
at Seattle, Rose has written the ,
Development Board, that a per- i
manent organization is needed to
sponsor a program of winter tour
promotion. Such a program, he
wrote, was believed to be a logic
al undertaking for such a group
as the proposed Alaska tourist
association.
In turning over the winter tour
problem, the carriers pledged the
Development Board any assist
ance they were able to give in
bringing "the plans to a successful
conclusion.
Charter meetings of the new
Alaska-wide tourist association
are to be held early next month,
the Development Board an
nounced.

Soil Conservationists Here for Conference
John (Gus) Gustafson of Fair
banks and Cliff Marcus of An
chorage were in Palmer this week
attending the annual fall staff
conference of the Soil Conserva
tion Service.
This conference was conducted
by Chas. W. Wilson, territorial
conservationist. Others in attend
ance were Emmett Ellington, Pat
Murphy, Tom Day and Lew
Hanks from the Palmer offices of
the Soil Conservation Service.
Wilson reported that 750,000
acres in the Territory have been
surveyed and classified as to their
agricultural use. This has been
done following instructions from
the Alaska Soil Conservation
r
Board. The policy of this Board,
which consists of Frank Linn and
Virgil Eckert of Palmer and Bert
Stimple of Fairbanks, is to pro
vide this survey information to
the public. This will assist people
in a better development of the ag
ricultural land of the Territory.
The Buerau of Land Management
and Agriculture Research Admin
istration are cooperating in this
survey.
A major part of the conference
was devoted to devising better
ways to provide conservation in
formation to farmers and pros
pective homesteaders.
