''NIDNIGHT SUN EXCURSI0NISTS"
 WERE DELIGHTED WITH TRIP

Two members of the group from Colonel SteYenson's home, which went down the Yukon river two weeks ago, returned yesterday, Mrs. T. F. Bacon and Andrew Stey- enson. Their report of the trip With the Midnight SunUers" as far as DawsCn, of the entertainment at the chief city of Yukon territory and of everything in general up north is most interesting and en- COuraaiug. It is gratifying to note the uniformly generous expressions Of appreciation which are being re- corded in favor of the White Pass road for the splendid manner in which they handled the eXCursionists Especial mention has been made of Capt. Turnbull of the steamer White Horse and his worthy asso- Ciates who met every situation with tact and courtesy. The return trip to Whitehorse was more or less 8 record run, consuming in actual running time only slightly over three days.
 Many of the tourists were given an extraordinary treat by J. w.. Boyle, president of the Canadian Kondyke Mining company, who inc Vited them to visit one of the great gold dredges in actual opera tiOn. To visit these, the .greatest

SERVICE
 NOW AT FRONT

Robert W. Service, the well known Yukon writer, who left the terri tory three years ago, since which he served as correspondent in the Balkan war and then went to Paris and married a French girl and set tied down there to write, has given up the grind of making copy and gone to the front. Meager informa- ticn on the subject was printed in the Toronto Globe on June B.. which contains the following from Polly Peele, a writer for the .woman's page in that paper:
 Robert W. Service, the Canadian poet and novelist, has left for the front, where he will drive a motor car. Mir. Services friends in Paris thought he was devoting. his months here to the production of another novel, to follow "The .Pretender," instead of which he was studying the habits and haunts of motor cara, and learning to make the various parts.

J. L. McPherson, secretary of the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce, came in on the City of Seattle today and will con tinue on to sitka this afternoon and from there to Juneau, from which latter point he will return in a few days to .Skagway on a mts- sion of importance to everyone in- terested in the exploitation to the outside world of our wonderful ad- vantages for the homeseeker as well as the investor of capital ir any one of an almost unlimited number of lines of activity.
 He is in Alaska to feel the pub l:c pulse and to awaken .enthusiasm In an All-Alaska celebration of the semi-centenary of the purchase of the territory from Russia by the United States, the matter having been brought forcibly to at- tention of the Alaska Bureau by the enthusiastic reception the suggestion received in Seattle when it waa frs brooched at a Bureau banquet there a few weeks ago.
 The idea that is gradually being developed as MT. McPherson travels further through Alaska is that celebrations should be held Gn all large centers throughout the north land, and that the Alaska Bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce should center their efforts toward the organization of a strong repre- sentative party of officials and business men to visit Alaska during 1917 and participate in the Alag kan celebrations.
 Tie details of the plan will be worked out hereafter. provided the proposed celebration meets with the approval of Alaskans. The program seems to have struck both Ketchikan and WraEgel favorably, for below we give a set of resolu- tions passed by the Ketchikan con- merciq1 club when MT. McPherson was there, and practically the same action was taken by the commer- cial club in Wrangell:
 Whereas: The year 1917 will be the fiftieth anniversary of the ac- usitiou of the Territory of Alas ka by the United States, a trans- action fraught with great possibili- ties for this northland of ours, and without which this empire would today probably be as much a desert as is Siberia.
 Be it resolved, That 1t is the scnse of the Commercial club at Kctchikan, Alaska, that the event should be commemorated by cele- brations throughout Alaska on dates that will not conflict, and which will permit of the greatest partici- patton by official representatives and visitors who should be urged
