OUTSIDER SAYS
NORTH IS NOT
UNDERSTOOD

"The greatest present need OF
Alaska, in my opinion, is publicity"
said H. P. Williams, wealthy realty
man of Detroit, to a representative
of the News. last week while he and
others of the Yukon's passengers
were the guests of Nenana for day.
"The people of the States, generally
speaking, and particularly residents
of the Eastern states, know practi-
cally nothing about your great
country" continued the real estate
man. They picture the north as
vast territory of snow and ice,
worthless and inhospitable parcel OF
Uncle Sans domain, and question
the sanity, almost, of one who talks
of visiting Alaska. Many of my
friends laughed at me when they
learned that I contemplated trip to
the North, and assured me that my
time would be wasted. My intention
at the time I left the East was merely
to visit the Alaska coast. | had
heard a little about the scenic beau
ties of that section of the territory,
but I knew absolutely nothing Of the
Interior When | reached the coast,
however, and found so much of inter-
est theresa much to see and so
much activity in fishing and mining,
] concluded that there must be other
attractions beyond the mountains,
and straightWay arranged to put in
the greater part of the summer in the
North And I am free to say that |
am very glad | came. My only regret
is that I cannot see enough Of the
country this summer. l want to visit
the Nome section and the country be-
tween Nenana and the coast, and |
hope to be able to arrange another
trip for that purpose at a very early
date. l am coming back, but I am
not in a position at this time to say
just wien CAN S6I the time W u1clhC
another trip"
Mr.. Williams is accompanied by his
wife and two sons, and they also APP
pear to have found much enjoyment
in the journey. Mr. Williams, when
asked if his family had not been in
commoded by the lack Of conven-
fences in certain parts of Alaska
they had visited, explained that they
had done a great deal Of travelling and
had learned to accept conditions as
they found them, and in that way
managed to get the maximum OF
pleasure out of their journeyings.
And they surely seemed to enjoy
their stay in Nenana, fitting in as if
they belonged here.
Mr.. Williams believes there are
many people in the East who would
welcome the opportunity to invest
money in Alaska if they knew more

say in the Portland Journal on Ash

"The auto camp ground OF Ash
land is especially well located and
equipped in the famous Lithia park,
convenient to a beautiful stream,
plunge baths, mineral water springs
and the kitchenette is furnished
with a large number Of gas plates
for the preparation Of quick meals
by travellers.
The drive into such a cool seclud-
ed spot on a hot dusty day, is won
derfully refreshing. A telephone for
the convenience Of travellers, venti-
lated lockers, modern toilets, cleo
tric lights, and good stores nearby
are some of the other ATTRACTIONS.
Ashland has spent some 5000, 600 in
Lithia park. The Chautauqua build
ing there is the best in the west,
seats 1000 people and is one OF Ore
gems institutions. Ashland is Ore

The Rogue River valley is awaken
ing to the fact that Ashland is 60
ing to celebrate the Fourth of July

down into history as the greatest
event of the kind ever staged in this

ecutive committee is leaving no stone
unturned to make this celebration
one big jollification from start to

they, too, will soon be free from the
army routine. This of itself is a

be the reason for citizens to CON-
mingle and help celebrate the birth
OF the new freedom.
In connection with the regular cell
ebration features will be the annual
meeting Of the Rogue River Round
mp at the grounds east OF the city,
plans for which will be announced
in ample time to receive hosts OF
entries including famous riders of
the Pacific northwest. There will be
bands galore, water sports, dancing
and all sorts OF amusements for
young and old.
Events are being planned to make
the attractions new and diversified
enough to please even the most blase
citizen who claims to have outgrown
his ardor for the glorious Fourth.

Young People Hear
Story OF World War

Those who were fortunate enough
TO hear Dan A. Polling in his great
address given in the Chautauqus
building Saturday night left with tht
feeling that they had heard a won
derfully forceful man tell a wonder.
full story. This speaker is the asso.
ciate president of the United Society
, of Christian Endeavor, and has @
heart in sympathy with young peo.
pie and a taking way with him to
reach their hearts.
DR.. Polling served during the great
war as Y, M. G. A. worker in the
trenches of France, and the stories
he told Saturday night Of his work
among the boys in their perlous po-
sitions were thrilling, and touched a
responsive cord in his audience of
admiration for the heroism of the
American soldier.
He also paid glowing tribute to
the people Of France for their work
in the trenches and the homes, try
ing to carry on life in spite of the
dreadful cloud of peril hanging over
them. He spoke of the long vigils of
the soldiers at night, followed by the
terrors Of day, which were shared by
the mothers, wives, sisters and sweet
hearts. THE United States Is for
ever in the debt of those who for un-
speakable months held the lines
against the day Of her arrival" the
speaker declared.
Before closing his address DR..
Polling spoke on the prohibition
movement, in which HE said the re-
ports circulated that the American
soldier in France disapproved of the
amendment were untrue. He ex-
pressed himself as particularly graft
fled that the action of the Peace Con-
ference included in its outline of
basic principles for the League of
Nations specific recognition of the
necessity for prohibiting the traffic
in intoxicating liquors among de-
pendent races.
