GOVERNOR OF ALASKA
ARRIVES IN SEWARD
DEPARTS TOMORROW MORNING
TO STUDY CONDITIONS LOW
ER RIVER DISTRICTS
RETURNING IN A MONTH HERE
Territory Appears to be on Thresh
old of Much Development
Gov. George A. Parks arrived in
Seward this morning from Juneau on
the S. S. Yukon en route to lower Yu
kon river points and the Seward Pen
insula for the purpose of studying con
ditions for his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior.
This is the governor’s first trip to
Nome since he took office. Governor
Parks departs tomorrow morning for
Nenana, where he will make steamer
connections for Holy Cross. From
that point on to St. Michael his plan
of travel has not yet been completed.
He will return to Nenana in about a
month and will either return to the
coast over the Alaska Railroad or, if
the Richardson Highway is in good
»
shape, may return over it.
Speaking of the proposed Pacific
Northwest Commercial and Industrial
Exposition, which was to have been
held this fall, Gov. Parks said the
plans have completely collapsed. It
had been planned that Alaska would
have a large representation at the ex
position, but at a meeting of the Ex
ecutive Board at Spokane, last month
in view of incomplete organization
lack of interest on the part of one oi
more of the states participating, il
was decided to abandon any furthei
action.
Conditions throughout the Territory
are quite encouraging, it is stated, anc
general activities appear to be on the
upgrade. The pulp industry in South
eastern Alaska looks particularly en
couraging with the arrival of engi
neers representing pulp concerns. In
dications point to a larger tourist trav
el than ever before.
Regarding local problems, Governot
Parks said he hopes Seward’s ambi
lions relative to the proposed Lowel
creek improvement will soon material
ize but, personally, he had heard lit
tie of it one w*ay or the other.
The parents of Gov. Parks, Mr. anc
Mrs. James Parks, arrived at Juneat
recently from Denver, on a visit tc
their distinguished son. They are en
joying their trip to Alaska immensely
and plan to remain at Juneau for ai
least another month. On their returr
to the States they wrill visit theii
daughter residing in Pocatello, Idaho
and may stop for a visit at Yellow*
stone National Park.
During Gov. Park’s brief stop it
Seward he is a guest at the Sextor
hotel.
Mr. and Mrs. Edw. Krogh, forme:
wTell known residents of Anchorage
arrived in Seward on the Yukon
They are en route to Fairbanks. Mr
Krogh wras associated with a jewelr;
concern in Anchorage prior to his de
parture for the States about two year*
ago.
