The manufacturers of the Oldsmo-

WILL BE MADE WELCOME

iLiJarod Pioneer: The news from ,ha national capital that senator Jones of Washington is to visit Alaska will be received with plea sure by our citizens. and if the journey is undertaken with the de sire to study conditions here with a view to future beneficial legisla- ;fon. he will be the more welcome In sitpe of all that has been pub lished. there seems still to be a woeful ignorance in official circles IS to conditions in this northern territory, and personal investigation by those in high places should be encouraged. If, as seems likely, he intends to visit Interior Alaska, so Iluch the better; the fringe of sea coast which is usually covered by tourists in Alaska is quite well known, and authentic information may be secured with regard to It without spending the time reQuir- cd to make a visit. Conditions in the interior are little known and less understood even by those To- cated in the coast regions of Alas ka
 When the news was sent out last year that Secretary of the Interior Lane was to make a trip to Alas ka to study conditions, aad when later public officials and private citizens of emiuence announced a purpose of accompanying him, we were prepared to give them all the facilities at our command for learning the conditions and needs Of the country. Much disGppoint- ment was expressed when it was announced that the tour had been abandoned, and the failure of Dele gate Wickersham to Sisit this DOT ton of the territory was also matter of sincere regret.
 It is to be hoped that not only Senator Jones, but other members o congress will find opportunity to visit interior Alaska in the near future There is ample reason for expecting visits also from officials of the various executive depart ments. Interior Alaska seems to be little known even to the postoffice department, and it is possible .that a visit by the postmaster general or some one Of his assistants would be rewarded with a fund of infor- matiou which would Ee of inestim- able value not alone to tie govern ment, but incidentally to the people who make their homes in this DOT ton of Uncle Sam's domain.
