Alaska will be a Mecca for Ameri- can tourists this year, in the opinion of Caupt.

Cap tain Green is in Seattle on his return from Arizona, where he is interested in some mining property says the se- attle Times.
 with European trips out of the question and California already thor. oughly inspected, American tourists next summer will turn their attention to Alaska" said Captain Green. "That there are more wonders in the North than have ever been dreamed of by residents of the United States proper is an absolute fact, and once the AL asla Peninsula has been thoroughly exploited for its tourist attractions, travel there should be heavy.
 CT believe the most wonderful trip in Alaska, and one which will rival any scenic journey !n the world, is the run on the Yukon from Dawson to Fairbanks. The entire round trip can be described as 2,OO0 miles of un- surpassed scenery ] do not believe have ever made @ trip up or down the Yukon on which moose or caribou were not seen. Sometimes we watch the animals swimming the river, sight which has caused many cam era to click.
 "The greatest feature of the trip is that 1t takes the traveller Into the land of the midnight sun. Persons who have never experienced twenty-four hours of daylight cannot imagine it. Throughout the North the summer baseball games start at g o'clock in the evening and last until midnight and it is becoming general within the Arctic Circle to sleep during the day and carry on business at night"

BELGIAN FLAG DAY.

The local chapter of the D. A. RS.
have in charge the flag day for the
relief of the Belgians. This flag
day is a method by which the D. A.
RS. of America and the Commission
for the Relief in Belgium, propose
to raise money for the people who
are in the war zone in the North of
France and in Belgium. Ten mil
lion miniature flags have been put
on sale in this country and everybody
is being requested to buy one and to
wear it on April 9th and 9th and to
request the prayers of the churches
on the 9th.
Many of the flags were being worn
Monday and Tuesday afternoon and
the sale will be energetically pushed
by Mrs S. G. Thomson and Mrs. Will
Harris. Seven cents is the cost of
food for one destitute person in Bel
gium for one day. Everyone is ia
miliar with the woes of the Belgians
and this flag day is an easy method
of helping alleviate their distress.
