HYAS TYEE OF ALASKA
 AT THE GOLDEN P0TLATCH
THE TILLIkuMs WILL HAVE OF THE poTl arcu os WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, AND SHOW THE WORLD
 ALASKA IS NOT OF SNOW AND ICE

The biggest day of the Golden POtlatch will bc on Wcdne sday, July 11. On that day the Tilli- kumS of Elttacs will take over the whole celebration. They will finance and produce inc Alaska pageant. which will bc the most spectacular and unusual feature of the next big show. As result of the agreement, something like a thousand Tillikums will turn loose to give Seattle and the whole country a pageant that shall stand unique among carni- vals, and they will spend close to S80,00O upon that feature alone.
 The pageant is to be strictly Alaskan; not the Alaska of the story books, with ice all over the landscape and everything else, but Alaska as it really is--with the water running, the flowers blooming and everything going full speed ahead.
 luio 10 HUI to say tndt tHe Aus ka pageant is to be an array of statistics and natural resources. On the contrary, it will bring in- tO carnival for the first time the Alaskan Indian, and, more impor- tant, the Alaskan Indians to- tems, myths, traditions and his tory.

Fisher Opposes Syndicate.

Secretary Fisher was before the committed and strongly opposed the pur- chase of the Guggenhcim lines ana favored the purchase of the Alaska Northern and having that line extended to the Matanuska coal fields and beyond to Fair banks. It is evident the Senate committee is dominated by the interests, who are attempting the control of Alaska's resources and will report at their bidding.
 Prominent Democratic mem bers of the House say that no railroad Legislation inimical to the interests of Alaska can pos- sibly pass through the House.
