To Get Publicity

Through the activities of Secre-
tary O. E. Arges of the Chamber
of Commerce. Anacortes will receive
prominent publicity in book about
to be published descriptive OF the
scenery and resources of the terri
tory adjacent to the inside passage
to Alaska. The book is written by
William Watson Woollen of Indian
apolis, and will be profusely Illus
trated.
Secretary Arges furnished a 1000
word article on Anacortes, its in-
dustries and the agricultural re-
sources of the adjacent territory.
The Importance of the fishing
and canning industry is fully ex-
plotted in the article and the scenic
beauty Of the San Juan islands is
fully described.
The publicity secured for Anacor--
tes in the book is very desirable.
The book will be read with great
interest all over the United States
and especially in the eastern part
Of the United States where interest
in the western county IS increasing.
