THE ALASKA WEEKLY
ALREADY IN THE FRONT RANK
We are proud to inform our many Alaskan friends that the
Editorial Staff of the ALASKA WEEKLY, during the past 60
days has been called upon to contribute to the Convention
Number of the Northwest Mining Truth; has furnished a se
ries of articles on Alaska to the Christian Science Monitor;
was the only paper published in Seattle which was quoted in
the Literary Digest’s comment on the Presidential Speech in
Seattle, and has been frequently quoted on Alaskan subjects
in many other nationally known and circulated publications.
We feel that in establishing a newspaper capable of gaining
such recognition that we are making rapid strides toward the
attainment of our principle objective—that of giving Alaska’s
marvelous resources the type of publicity to which their
magnitude entitles them.
