VIEWERS ELECTION
ATTRIBUTE TO CITY

Commenting upon the selection oil
John L. Weaver to the presidency oil
the National Association of Real Es-
tate Boards, President Charles w
Fairfax. Of the local brokers' associa
tton, said:
''The Real Estate Brokers Associa-
ton Of this city highly appreciates the
demonstration shown by the realtors
throughout the country at the recent
convention at Atlantic City, when
they unanimously elected John l.
Weaver, one of it's members, as presi-
dent Of the National Association of
Real Estate Boards.
when you consider that the ma
tional association has a large individ-
ual membership represented by boards
IN $50 cities and communities. the Sc
lection OF a Washington man is a high
honor to him and a tribute to his
home city. But few men and cities
are so favored, and for that reason
our enthusiasm is fully aroused.
"The records disclose the fact that
nearly one-third of the private own
ership Of real estate in the District Of
Columbia is held by nonresidents who
are clients of these realtors, scattered
throughout the States and Territories.
Such a condition strengthens the wis
dom in placing the affairs of the ma
tional association in the hands of
Washington realtor, whose reputation
for justice has won for him the ad-
niration Of those identified with the
entire real estate profession"
In recognition Of Mr.. Weaver's cleo
ton, the local real estate association
has planned a large reception in honor
Of him, to be given Thursday eve
ming of next week at Wardman Park
Hotel
The committee in charge Of recep-
ton arrangements are the officers of
the association, together with Oden.
I Smith, L. W. Groomes, J. Edward
Lewis, John c. Weldon. H. Clifford
Bangs, and Clarence Dodge. A pro-
gram Of entertainment has been ar
ranged and a buffet supper will be
served.
Invitations have been issued to local
officials. bankers, trust officers, and
: organizations identified with real es-
tate affairs. Several out-of- town
realtors are expected for this recep-
tion.

ALASKA.

Alaska, the land of opportunity and promise, of Government mis- management and graft, magnificent distances, purpling mountains, grassy valleys, snow-covered plains, and contented people; held back for ages by incompetence and ignorance, to- day is thy natal day. Over half a century ago purchased for 9 song from impoverished Russia, it pro duced enough stock certificates in a decade to pay off the mortgage. Today. wrote the editor of the Val dez Miner, in his Alaska Day issue, Alaska is the wealthiest empire on earth. IL could pay off ten war debts like that incurred during the late unpleasantness and still have wealth enough in her hills and rivers to spend the winter in Seattle. De- spite the efforts of paternal gov ernment to cripple her resources, Alaska has forged ahead until in 60 years its population almost equals that of North Yakima. Alaska is bounded on the south by applica- tions for government jobs; on the north by Stefansson; on the east by perdition, and on the west by infnity.
 Alaska is noted as the summer residence of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission and cannery opera tives. Its resources are mining pro- moters and stock certificates. Its principal drawbacks are James Wickersham and the political party in power Alaska raises the best crop of politicians of any country outside of Mexico. It is famous for it's Government commissions and the unreliability of their reports. The chief diversion of it's population is cussing the road commission and paying fuel bills. Many people in the States still consider Alaska as part of the Dominion of Canada, to judge from the letters received. The climate is the finest in the world, having but two seasons winter and July. ~ ." :".:.

Her broad-minded peo- pie and her thousand jeweled hills. Her unlimited opportunities and her numberless chances to live and die; free. unfettered by social standards. Her residents are natures notle- men, and of the purple.
