Come to Alaska

A correspondent of the Kansas City Star, who lives down in Missouri, com plains about Uncle Sam spending SO much money for railroad building in Alaska. He feels real bad about it. He says:
 sDo you not think this thing of Uncle Sam building a railroad in Alaska a little unfair to our own country, since there is SO much resourceful land in our own country awaiting develop mentY Right here in our own Missouri, within hundred miles of Kansas City, we are in the midst of such a land; twenty miles to the nearest railroad and over roads that one thousand to twelve hundred pounds makes a load for a good team"
 Our poor Missouri friend is not only unfortunate, but, like many others of his kind, densely ignorant In the first place, Alaska is "ourown" country just as much as Missouri, where the crop failures and the high taxes keep the poor poor. Only Missouriaus would live their lives within hundred miles of a town like Kansas City and not improve their roads. Alaskans are more alert, they are alive, they are a lively, wide-awake bunch, and never vote flor Andrew Jackson. If our Missouri friends will come to Alaska we will show them how the building of 8 railroad will open up land of won- derful resources that in the end will make poor old Missouri look like thirty cents.

Alaska has many wonders and few people are privileged to see them all. Tourists climb aboard a boat at Seattle which visits the towns, glacier and a few canneries, and sails back to the place of beginning They have seen Alaska and can tell you all about it.. But the man who sails around in little gas boat kuows that the tourist sees only a small part Every bay has it's wonders and each presents something different from the others. The writer was satisfied that he had seen most of the pretty spots in this vicinity until a visit last summer Co Tracy Arm, with its immense granite walls, gave an i'm pression of grandeur beyond them all. Here also we saw the rows and rows of newly matched sea pigeons, pure and white, standing like china toys in a shop. However, it was at Speel river that we found hundreds of bright feathered humming birds darting in and out among the trees that fringe the beach. Jf an arrangement could be made that tourists who come to South eastern Alaska in summer to escape the terrible heat and see the sights could stop over long enough to really see the country it would not only prove more attractive than the present system, but would provide a source of revenue for the gas boat men, for they have the only real key to the sit nation.

A Great Game

After days and days of disappoint- ment because of the rain that had pat tered down on the shores of Gastineau for the past week the clouds blew away Monday and at 4 o'clock in the after noon the ball teams of Juneau and Douglas leland met on the Treadweli grounds for the third game of the summer series. This was the frst game played on the new grounds at Tread we'll and, although it has been re peatedly. asserted that they are slow, tbe game was fast and will long be re- membered as that remarkable occasion when Pittmau pitched mo hit, no run" game.
 A large crowd was present and found that splendid arrangements had been made for their accommodation. Ahigh fence of.wire netting enclosed the field. On the outside were rows of comfort able seats, but the inside was reserved for the players, the managers and scorekeepers. Not even ex managers were allowed to intrude.
 Juneau started off with her usual goose egg in the first inning a feat that was repeated eight times more. Only once during the game did they get a man on third Douglas made a run in the second, another in the siXtb, and in the eighth, when their adversaries lost their heads, four more trotted across the rubber Pittman, cool, calm, col lected, with perfect confidence in him. self and associates, pitched splendid ball, and back of him there was not a single error; and Jack Johnson, who gave the medicine in he last game, sat on the bench and smiled a happy smile. !

The News is in receipt of the Alaska Steamship Company's folder for the 1914 season, and also a copy of an eX- oursiou folder addressed to railroad agents, giving information regarding the Company's regular and special ex- oursion service to Alaska. They are mailing something like 10000 circulars and folders to railroad agents through out the United States, which, they trust, will result in bringing business
 to Alaska. The excursion circular is made doubly attractive by picture of Barney Conrad and his big brown bear.

A few years ago organizations
known as Parents Teachers Associa-
lions were formed IN connection with
the public schools. Any mother, who
has child attending one Of the pub
lie schools. may consider herself a
member of the club connected with
that school and whether she takes an
active interest or not rests with her
self.
Having the good OF her child at
heart, she has not been slow to realize
that the teacher to whom that child is
entrusted for infus ces which make
or mar him, can train the child with
much better understanding and more
Justice when she has the assistance
and cooperation Of his parents. and
is familiar with his health, history,
home, habits, and ideals.
