LIKES THE COUNTRY
Says He Intends to Return to Alaska and Get in on Ground Floor
 for Riches.

R. 6. Barnum, who controls the Alaskan rights for the photo plays "Intolefance" and "The Birth of a Nation" Is fin the city looking after the interests of these attractions, after having made tour of Interior Alaska. MT Barnum is a we'll known theatrical man outside and this trip has been in the nature of a trip to satisfy his curiosity regarding this great Territory.
 In speaking of his experiences he says: "I can we'll understand now what Service meant when he spoke of the hold that this country gets on many people. have only been in the Territory about three months, yet I feel very reluctant to leave 1t. and am already making plans to come back here in a very short time and try to get small share of the immense prosperity that this country is bound to come into. It may be The Call of the Yukon and it may be only that I think I see some of the big opportunities that are pres ent here as in no other place on the Continent, but nevertheless, I plan on returning.

of the trip. I am very confident that a majority of the people that are going outside this year with the expectations of bettering their con, dition financially, will be back next year and bring friends back with them. They will find when they get outside that conditions are not as rosy as they have been painted and that Alaska is still the best bet.
 "The people of this Territory, es pecially inside, are the most liberal. honest and fair-minded class of citi zens that I ever came in contact with. I was made to feel at homo in every town, every club was open to me, and the old Sourdoughs es pecially were more than pleased al any time to spend their time telling me stories of the good old days. The tales of the old-timers I will never forget, and I have list O. over a hundred nicknames of those 96 stampeders that I would not lose for lot.
 "To my mind the story of Alaska has never been told. Service, Beach and other smaller writers have done creditably, and have aroused a grea lot of interest in the romance in tho country, but some time some writel is coming into those old mining camps and get material for line ot stories that will excel anything ever attempted before. The material f.. there just waiting to be prospected and developed.
 From what I could hear and have read of the resources, they are un limited and after the war will at tract unlimited capital for prospect ing and development. I personally am interested in one line of Alas ka's resources and already have sev eral monied men that I am confident will go in with me on developing some territory.
 From Seattle the scenery was grand I was too late to see the Midnight Sun, but did have the pleas ure of seeing the most beautiful af terglows that I ever expect to see in any sky. Although after leaving Dawson I did not have much fresh fruit, yet was amazed at the veg etables grown in the Interior, and sure did relish the moose and cari bou steaks I could get daily, not for getting the roast duck, and best of all had some roast mountain sheer in several of the road houses when coming out over the trail. It was the finest meat I ever tasted.
 "To the Westward I found condi tions more like the outside. yet in spired by that indescribable some thing, a feeling that one finds only in Alaska, so far as my experience extends"
