IMPRESSING THE TOURIST
Now that the annual tide of sight-seers is about
to set in and fill our fair land with a gay horde of the
'Curious ones we should get into that proper frame of
mind to receive them. To do this we must understand the
urge that brings them here.
Nine out of every ten visitors coming here this sea
son have in their minds’ eyes pictures of snow-capped
peaks, winding streams of gold glinting in the sun with
a bear and a mountain sheep perched on every pinnacle. |
Alaska to them is either a gigantic ice box, a vast game
preserve or a huge vault where you simply step in and j
pack out the ingots of precious metals. They are alluring
enough pictures but they are not true and it is up to us
to undeceive our guests even though we wipe out some s
of the glamour.
In the first place we should try to convince our
friends that the climate of Alaska is no more rigorous
than the northern tier of the States and much of it mil- j
der. That although we have plenty of game and fishing, j
we are not a game preserve to be held in reserve for rich j
hunters. That although some of the boom camps have j
passed there is more mineral wealth than has ever been j
produced. That we have a great supply of meat from!
reindeer and that our cattle and sheep business is look- j
ing up rapidly. That we can raise most anything, in-!
eluding whoopee, and at no distant date our farms will!
be supplying most of our needs. That our fisheries are I
still tremendous as are also our vast timber resources.1
That we have good railroads, highways and automo-1
biles. And lastly, that we have good schools and our ris-!
mg generation will be the backbone of the next and
richest state of the Union.
Shoot 'em with that kind of grape, men, and the ene
my is ours.
A young lady physiologist is reported to breathe
nly three to five times a minute. Yes, this younger j
generation has learned to string out the soul kiss longer j
than their dads and moms did

General Jan Smuts of Africa says there is a good !
leal of good in African negro culture and system. We
will know more about it when the jungle craze in the
United States wanes and we can take stock.
Now that Byrd has announced large coal seams at
the south pole it is in order for more conservation.

EMBARKS UPON OIL
BUSINESS 1ST
i
Special to The Gateway
KODIAK, Mar. 26. (/P)—Loading
out with a cargo of oil brought here
from the wreck of the Golden For
est in Shelikof Strait, the Motor
ship Explorer, Captain Magnus
Hansen, sailed to the Westward last
week for a delivery at Unga. Upon
her return she will make further
deliveries to various points with
gasoline and oil that have been
salvaged from the vessel and stored
at this port, at Kukak and Takli
Island. One of her deliveries will
necessitate a trip to Anchorage, it
is said.
The Golden Forest, which was
wrecked last September, is still
resting high on the beach and has
been in the care of two watchmen
thru the winter. She still has a
large quantity of oil aboard which
has been purchased outright by
Captain Hansen and his crew and
further salvage operations will be
resumed as soon as the weather
permits. In the meantime Captain
Hansen is in the oil business in
stead of halibut fishing and will
fill a number of orders for various
canneries throughout the West
ward.
iV»>- A. G. Balls, wife of the
Alaska Railroad headquarters of
ficial, was among the prominent
incoming passengers from the
south last evening on the Admiral
Watson. Mrs. Balls has been in
California for a number of
months.
Miss Freda Kraft and brother
Ben, daughter and son of Otto
Kraft, Kodiak business man, are
on board the Admiral Watsc\i en
route to their Westward home.

The great story of school days was made in
to a moving picture

A throbbing comedy drama of that most strenuous and
serious time of life—High school days. This is the play
that went like wild-fire throughout the states. A produc
tion that will entertain you every minute. Come and see
your own heart throbs pictured as never before.
With it we will show Billy Bevan in a fine
two-reel comedy.
