AL0skQmS M Fyamce
 Are Boosting Northlamd

Alaska boys in France, in the army cantonements and in the navy are the most effective press agents the North has ever known," states J. l.. McPherson, manager of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham Der of Commerce and Commercial Club, according to an article in the POst-Intelligencer. "A few days ago we received a letter from an Alaskan lieutenant of engineers who is in France stating that he had been boosting Alaska to a bunch at mess, and that he had told them of the Haines, Alaska, strawberries, eight of which would fill a quart measure, and celery that grew six feet tall. We advised him that he was absolutely correct in his state ment concerning the strawberries, but that he had probably confused celery with rhubarb, which has a most luxurious growth in the Skag- way section, where it attains a height of from four to six feet.
 PIONEER LIFE ATTRACTIVE.
 "I want a homestead where can do little hunting, fishing and trapping is typical of the requests for information on Alaska received from the boys in France, showing that their life in the open has in stilled in them a desire to become pioneers, to lead life of adven- ture. From the training camps

ALASKA TO BE DEVELOPED.

Alaska has furnished far great
 CT per cent. of her man power to the war than any other section of
 our land, and as result she is feel ing more seriously the effect of the drain in all her industrial and de- velopment life. But it is certain that with the final settlement of peace the Alaska boys will all re- turn to the Northland and will take with them scores of comrades to whom they have told the wonders of the land up there These men will furnish the essential manhood for the development of Alaska's great store of raw products, movement which must be so planned as tC build for permanent industries and stable and prosperous population y
