ELABORATE DISPLAY
ALASKA EXHIBITS
AT EXPOSITION
INTERIOR DEPARTMENT HAS A
STRIKING DISPLAY AT SES
QUICENTENNIAL FAIR
The Territory of Alaska receives
elaborate and striking publicity in the
exhibit of the Interior Department of
the general government at the Phil
adelphia Sesquicentennial Exposition.
The general exhibit of the Interior
Department includes the National
Park Service, the Bureau of Recla
mation, the Geological Survey, tfhe
Alaska Railroad, the Bureau of Indian
Affairs, the General Land Office and
the Pension Office.
The Alaska exhibit shows a pano
rama of the loop district of the rail
road and life-sized pictures of rein
deer grazing in valleys surrounded by
snow-capped mountains. A replica of
a log cabin with a window through
which is shown the loop district of the
railroad, in miniature, with a train in
the distance and great mountains and
valleys in relief, is. another feature.
Vhere is aTso a fine exhibit of smaller
paintings of awe-inspiring scenery
along the Alaska Railroad, which is
the only railroad owned and operated
by the United States government.
People of the East are thus fur
nished with a realistic taste of what
Alaska has to show the tourist and
the exhibit is reported as arousing
large interest among the visitors. Tt
is a most valuable contribution by the
Federal Government to Alaska pro
gress, though primarily designed to
induce business for the publicity
owned rail lines, and should largely
swell the tide of Alaska tourists.

these quartz veins—all carrying free 1i

and give assurance that the Chandalar ! J
mining district will live long, and J
proper. i
“Just think of it!” went on the gov-! J
ernor, “one -little creek up there has J
already produced more gold than the \
United States paid Russia for Alaska. .
“Another thing that should not be j

the best and healthiest climate m i

Alaska—long cool summers, and short, j
equable winters. They say the Chanda- j
lar has such a healthy climate that J
the only way they can have a funeral j
is to kill a man, and as there is a local J
prejudice against homicide, there has J
never been a funeral. The Chandalar j
is no place for an undertaker—and J
for that matter for a pessimist either. ]
The Chandalar is the land for He |
men; for the heroic spirits, the real
pioneer, for the men who want to live
and die on our country’s far flung
frontier, under the Northern Lights
and in the shadow of the midnight
sun—to live an epic poem, that only
a Homer can sing.
“Besides, the Chandalar is going to
be the Botanists Mecca; the geolo
gist’s heaven, and the sportsman’s par
adise.
“On our successful flying trip, way
beyond the Arctic Circle—we rdintal
ly mapped, and visually explored an
undiscovered country of wild flowers,
of innumerable lakes, teeming with
wild fowl; and of great mineralized
lime contracts, and tremendous fis
sure quartz veins, that have never
been explored by a prospector, or
mapped by a geologist,
i “Keep your eye on the Chandalar’”
said Mr. Sulzer in conclusion, “its
a great land of indescribable beauty
teeming with wild life, fragrant with
natural flowers, and rich in gold be
yond the dreams of avarice.
NEAR EAST RELIEF
CONDITIONS IN THE NEAR EAST
IS TOLD TO NEW
YORKERS
CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y. Aug. 21 (£>)—
Return to normal conditions in the
near east is impossible without the
! participation of America, Arthur E.
Bestor, president of Chautauqua in
stitution, said in an address here to
day, after the presentation of an out
door pageant depicting the history
and work of the near east relief in
the Bible lands.
Referring to the work done by near
| east workers in caring for and educat
j ing thousands of orphaned children
j who were driven out of Turkey, Mr.
Bestor said that no mistaken ideas of
isolation or absorption in our own
complicated problems have prevented
us from exercising our influence and
leadership by helping, where help has
been so tragically needed daring the
past eight years.
Mrs. Percy V. Pennybacker, presi
dent of the Chautauqua Women’s
clubs, told how 100,000 orphan chil
dren, driven out of Turkey in a ragged
emaciated and diseased condition,
were brought up to healthy and intel
| libent manhood and womanhood at
'near east relief orphanages.
