The Alaska daily empire., 1913-11-24
FORBES COMPARES ALASKA
 WITH THE WIDE WORLD


 Edgar Allen Forbes, staff editor of Leslie's Illustrated Weekly, who was member of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce excursion party, says:
 'I wish to set it down here in endur- ing printers ink, that the Alaska coast is one of the greatest scenic regions in the world. In calling it such, 1 fling all modesty aside and remind you that I have seen most of the romantic and picturesque parts of the globe and know a good looking piece of lands cape when l see it.
 For instance, in speaking with en- thusiasm about the sublimity of the Alaskan coast range and urging you to see it before you die, do so after hay ing been on the roof of the world and seen the highest mountains on this planet. I mention the harbOr of Sitka with no slight degree of enthusiasm in spite of the fact that l have passed through the Thousand Islands of the St. Lawrence and have been in the Bay of Naples several times. And as for gorgeous sunsets, the ball of fire drops behind the peaks of Alaska in a blaze of glory that is almost as inspiring as when it disappears in the yellow sand of the Sahara.
 A of ho TDcihn pa sage from Seattle to Alaska, is there any place, from Sandy Hook to Tokyo and from the North Cape to the Horn where you may travel serenely for sev- eral days with snowy peaks on both sides of you? Say all that you will about the far-famed Inland Sea of Ja- pan and the Palisades of the Hudson; if these picturesque spots were moved LID toward Alaska and placed along the Inside Passage with their position plainly charted, there is where you would sleep in order to awake while passing the scenery that is already there.
 And as for glaciers of Alaska, here is an actual experience. After having seen them returned homeward via the Canadian Rockies. At a station named Glacier, the train stopped and the passengers were invited to walk up the track and see the wonderful sight. went with the others until came with in full view of the glacier which was so wanderful that it could stop an over land express. l took one look at it.; then I sauntered back to the train and waited until it was ready to move on.
 "I would not have you think that the Canadian glacier is not a perfectly good glacier. The trouble with me was that I had recently seen Columbian glacier crumbling into the Alaskan sea and floating away as icebergs that l had stood for an hour in front of Childs glacier, inland from COrdova, and heard what at times sounded like the sharp crack of a 10-inch gun and at other times like the reverberatiOns of dis tant thunder. After you have seen the glaciers of Alaska, you may pass up without regret every thing else in the glacier line on this continent"
