BE SEEN AT RAILROAD
BOOTH BUYERS’ WEEK
WILL EXHIBIT VIEWS
Miss Gladys Parker, Formerly of

of Railroad Exhibit

will receive commendable publicity at
the Pacific Northwest exposition to be
held in Seattle, August 17 to 22,
which is also the date fixed for Buy
ers’ Week, which in particular is rap
idly becoming1 one of the foremost an
nual events in the Queen City, From
the Seward region a collection of pho
tographs are now in process of collec
tion, which will be sent to the expo
sition and exhibited in the Alaska
Railroad booths. Miss Gladys Parker,
who has been acting as secretary to
President E. C. Bunnell, of the Alaska

position Miss Parker will go to Taco
ma where she will teach in one of the
high schools.
Exhibit Will Be Varied
Included in the Alaska exhibit will
be specimens of Indian work, furs,
ores, coal, birchwood, furniture, agri
cultural products, photographs and
paintings. A young malamute leader,
“Patches,” is being taken to the ex
hibit by Miss Parker. The dog is
owned by Claude Denny, fur warden

Grain exhibits from the U. S. ex

safe to presume these will surprise
visitors to the exhibit for when this
collection was shown at the Fair
banks and Anchorage fair3 last year,
it astounded the average Alaskan
who has been residing in the Territory
for years. Ores and gold, covering
practically all of the mines in Alaska,
have been loaned by the college for
exhibition purposes. Samples of coal
from the mines in the Matanuska and
Healy river districts have been pre
pared by J. J. Corey in charge of the
