THE EIGTH WONDER
i
The modern world has come to accept as the seven !
wonders of the new world: Niagara Fails, Yellowstone
Park, Garden of the Gods, Mammoth Cave, Yosemite
Valley, Giant Redwood Trees of California and the Nat
ural Bridge of Virginia, all of which is all right for
those who have never seen the Eigth Wonder—the Val
ley of Ten Thousand Smokes. That the world at large has
not been able to add this marvel to the many recounted
above is due principally to the fact that no steps have
been taken to commercialize the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes as Niagara, Yellowstone Park, etc., have been j
commercialized.
An yet this wonder is within a few miles of estab- ,
lished ocean liner transportation and all the comforts *
demanded by the average tourist, such as Seward offers, ji
All that is needed is the development of transportation i
to and from some point of access to the Valley, the erec-j!
tion of tourist hotels and building trails into the Valley.^
Unlike many of the wonderful attractions enumerated \
above, the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes combines 1
a multitude of scenic wonders in the rugged scenery '
along the Alaskan coast and the main Alaska range, 1

of Norway. Here is the paradise of the cameraman, fish
erman and adventurous mountain climber, the nature
lover and those seeking rejuvenation after a too stren
uous battle with the great pulsating world outside.
_ A fitting climax to the thousand and one scenic
thrills found in the inside passage route to Alaska would
be a glimpse of one of nature’s greatest marvels. Some
one, carried away by poetic fervor, said: “See Venice
and die.” We suggest: “See the Valley of Ten Thousand
Smokes and live.”
Governor Theodore Roosevelt of Porto Rico appears
to have made a good impression among the people of
that island. After three months’ study of Spanish he ad
dressed them in their own language. His Castillian was
not perfect, but the natives were delighted.
# The New York Times has diagnosed the prevalent
political disease as ‘investigationitis.”

OVER LAST TRAIL
A lingering illness that had kept
him confined to his bed for several
j months ended last week when Van j
I Woodruff died in Fairbanks. The
end was not unexpected, hope for
his recovery having been abandon
ed some time ago. He was about 61
years old. Mr. Woodruff was a pion
eer of the Northland. He was in
Nome in 1900 and lived in that dis- .
trict for many years. From 1912 I
until last spring he had been a resi
dent of Long creek in the Ruby dis
trict.

PHIL SCOTT IBS
FIGHT 1 1 FOUL
NEW YORK, Dec., 10, (JP)~
Phil Scott, England's heavyweight
pride, collapsed from a low blow
at the start of the second round
and thereby won the match from
the fierce punching Otto Vonpor
at, Chicagoan, who also com
mitted a foul in the first round. 1
In what promised to be a good
fight came to a sudden end when >
the Briton fell to the canvas in !
agony in the second. Referee j
Dempsey appeared to be confus- I
ed, then picked up Scott, * with
Vonporat helping him, and car
ried him to his corner. He then
conferred with others and then
announced the decision.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
At a basketball game staged in j
he Jesse Lee gym last night the I
ocal high school girls team won
rom the Jesse Lee girls by a wide
nargin. Many high school rooters
matched the plucky J. L. team fight
or the ball, but the high school
>ut it thru Seward’s hoop often
nough to give them a lead which
t was nearly impossible to equal.
Vhile the high school team has ,
>robably had more experience, a
ittle time and practice should de~
elop the J. L. squad into a fine
earn of players hard to equal.

after their marriage the trouble starts. It has an
| UNUSUAL PLOT AND ENDING
S Very beautiful scenes of Arabian life and cities and des
ert. Which should he give up, his harem of Eastern beaut
ies, or his French wife? He takes another wife later. The
terrible seclusion—jealosy of her friend—jealous of his
concubines—her interfering ex-admirt.vs—a thrilling play
