Comment and statistics quoted in the Literary Di
gest reveal a surprising increase in Canada’s tourist
‘‘crop,” which has become a substantial source of re
venue, reaching last year a total of about 300 million
dollars as compared with only about 91 million dollars
in 1922.
More than 95 per cent of these expenditures are
made by tourists from the United States, while Canad
ians spend approximately one-third as much on the
American side of the line
Another striking fact is seen in the statement
that the number of Americans who visited Canaaa
last year was close to 15 million, or about one and one
half as many as the entire population of the Dominion.
Well-disposed Canadians on both sides of the line
will be glad to note this evidence of increasing neigh
borliness. Just how much of it may be. attributed to
Mr Volstead is not shown by the statistical reports.
A knowledge of higher mathematics and lower
biology is making a fortune for H. B. Bilkosky of Al
hambra, Calif. ,who raises angle-worms which he sells
to fishermen all over the country. A female worm lays
an egg every day for eight months and each egg hatches
out two worms. He raises them by the million and
ships them in cans containing 60 worms each.
That sure was a mammoth bear. Two hundred nine
teen and one-half feet—must have had hide a foot thick;
and they probably used a 16-inch gun to bring it down.
Even when he fell he must have been the cause of a
miniature earthquake.
Gifford Pinchot, who won the gubernatorial nom
ination by over 14,000 votes over Francis Shunk Brown,
will have opposition at the general election in Novem
ber, the wet forces having decided to place a candidate
in the field to oppose Pinchot.
Possibly no wing of business society comes in for
more caustic criticism than the legitimate promoter,
yet were it not for these men of energy and action
there would be little of which to boast in our national
progress; and that goes for Alaska, as well. What we
need up here is an army of these fellows. .
Secretary of Labor James J. Davis’ plurality over
Sentator Grundy is over 235,000 votes, which assures a
November election for Mr. Davis.
An Independent Feeling
♦
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank accont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comforts
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create,
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.

Chamber of
Commerce Notes
At a recent business meeting of
the Seward Chamber of Commerce
the orgaiization’s attention was
directed to the semi-official reports
to the effect that the Alaska Rail
road has become dissatisfied with
the ties that are being cut by local i
tie contractors and would turn 1
elsewhere for ties for the future
needs of the road- The loss of the j
industry to this vicinity would be a
financial blow to Seward business
houses, the Chamber felt, but de
cided to postpone making inquiries
when Ranger Sherman, present as
a guest, stated that the controversy ■
arose over tie dimentions and said
he believed the tie cutters them
selves could remedy the situation
by adhering strictly to the required !
specifications.
In rendering a brief survey of :
the general field program for this
season, Ranger Sherman said that j
work will almost immediately be
commenced on the Russian River |
trail improvement at Schooner!
Bend, which was petitioned for the j
Chamber and residents of that dis- j
trict last fall. Regarding the Lost
Lake trail to Upper Russian Lake,;
via Cooper Lake, also asked for by
the Chamber, Mr. Sherman had to ;
say that while the undertaking has I
not been schuled, its feasibility may
be determined this year, and,
meanwhile, access to upper Russian
Lake will be gained via Porcupine
Island, Kenai Lake, by means of a
new trail which is to be put in this
season between Cooper Lake and
Upper Russian Lake. An already
existant trail to Cooper Lake from
a point on the mainland of Kenai
Lake, opposite Porcupine Island,
will be brushed out and general1
maintenance work performed on it.!
This will enable persons to travr
from Seward to Upper Russian
Lake via Kenai Lake, it is the in
tention of the Forestry Depart
ment to continue the trail then to
lower Russian Lake, though Mr.
Sherman did not say whether he
anticipated being able to com
mence work on that part of it this
season. Another trail to be put in
this season. Sherman told Cham
ber members, will be from Windy
Point on Kenai Lake to Lost Lake
about seven miles in the direction
of Moose Pass, from Windy Point.
The busy rangers also have consid
erable trail work to do in the Gird
wood district.

of Commerce tomorrow noon at the
