BOB ELLIS TELLS
CHAMBER ABOUT
VISITORS ASSK,
' I
‘•We've been yelling for years
that something ought to be done
to get more tourists to Alaska—now
we are trying to do something
about it," Bob Ellis, temporary pre
sident of the Alaska Visitors Asso- |
ciation, told the Juneau Chamber
of oCmmerce at a regular luncheon
meeting at the Baranof Hotel this
noon.
‘•Everybody benefits from tourist
dollars brought into the Territory,”
Ellis declared. "The tourist potential
Is unlimited and we have been
slow to do something about this
additional source of revenue. There
are those who soy we haven’t
enough facilities to accommodate
visitors. If we get the tourists com
ing up here, the facilities will fol
low. There are t!v se who like
roughing it. too. There are those ■
people who are going ahead in
anticipation of more tourist traffic'
like Taku Lodge and Excursion In- j
let near Juneau he re. It is up to
us to encourage them and to ad
vertise the Territory.
NEED Sl’0,000
“Right now we need $120,000 to j
get started. Hawaii spends a mil
lion dollars a year in advertising ]
its attractions and it pays off. Half j
is provided by the Hawaiian govern- j
ment and half by the Visitors Bu-;
reau. Nearly all the states have
huge budgets for advertising.”
Ellis outlined the aims of the
Association as: 1—Foster travel to
Alaska: 2—Encourage expansion of
facilities; 3—Establish entertain-1
ment for visitors; 4—Obtain coop
eration of the Territorial govern
ment financially; 5—Get cooperation
of Alaskans with money and a
friendly attitude toward tourists;
6—Extend tourist season; 7—Foster
conservation of wildlife; and 8—
Improvement of transportation fac- |
ilities. "We are going ahead with j
this program,” Ellis declared.
Joe Mtlean announced that it
was planned to arrange a goodwill
tour early in the summer to place
permanent signs on the Alaska j
Highway at Tok and Watson Lake
to lure tourists to Juneau. Placards
aiKl folders will be placed at road
houses along the Highway. It is
hoped -that three groups can par
ticipate, one to go north from
Haines Junction, one south to Wat- j
son Lake and that those planning'
trips all the way to the states can
take care of the extreme south
ern portion of the Highway.
Mr. and Mrs. Bert Barrer were
Introduced as new members. They
are publishers of the quarterly mag- !
azine, the Alaskan.
Guests were: A. B. “Cot” Hayes,

TWO ITEMS ALASKA
INTEREST RECEIVED
AT TERR. MUSEUM
Two items of interest have been
I received at the Territorial Museum
this week and are now on display,
an early day Russian cannon and
a clock set in a frame of argillite
from the Queen Charlotte Islands.
The cannon came from Kodiak
where it was purchased for the Mu
seum from the Erskine Estate last
fall by Curator E. L. Keithahn. It !
is a 3-inch bore ship type brass
cannon set in an oak mount. Placed
on the Island during the Russian
occupation of Alaska it stood in i
the yard in front of the Greek
Orthodox Church and Kodiak's old
est residents recall its being fired.1
on Kolv Days. It was secured by
Erskine for his collection of Alaska
curies and for years stood in front
of Erskine Koue.
The clock was purchased in Los
1' r.geies for the museum by Mrs.
Josephine White, fonnerly assistant I
to Keithahn. It is beautifully carv- ]
ed and ornamented with figures of
bears, sea liens, whales and eagles.
Keithahn said the clock is an
1831 model anc! he sets the date
the carved frame was made at some
time in the eighteen nineties. Krit
hahn learned of the clock from
tourists who visited the museum last
summer and who told them they
had seen the article in a curio shop
in Los Angeles. Mrs. White, now re
siding in Los Angeles, was con
(.acted by Keithahn, and she looked
up the curio shop, found the clock
established its authenticity and pur
chased it for the Alaska M-'seum.
