M'BRIDE BOOSTING ALASKA
 DURING VISIT IN THE EAST

That National Committeeman J. C. Mcbride is not devoting all If his time to politics during his visit in the East IS conclusiveiy proven by an interview with him, appearing in the Pennsylvania Register, q E,in;a- ture four-page daily newspape; pub lished by the Pennsylvania hotel. in
 New York City, says recen. issue of the Juneau Empire. MT. Mcbride , was a guest at the Pennsylvania
 during his stay in the metropolis.
 It will be noted that Mr. McRrde did not mention politics during the course of his conversation with the hotel scribe. The interview follows:
 Instead of going abroad for the summer, American tourists should visit Alaska. Southeastern and West ern Alaska has the most wonderful
 climate in the world. In summer 1t
 hardly varies ten degrees, ranging from sixty to seventy degrees, and 1 in winter it is seldom colder than
 twenty degrees above. People have
 an idea that Alaska is a land of snow and ice. This is quite erron.
 eous, for while we have no real
 farmlands, in the summertime the
 foliage and grass are as green as
 they are in the States.
 ! Alaska is sparsely settled, with
 only about fifty thousand people, and our largest towns are not much
 over three thousand. It has wonder full natural resources which are
 as yet undeveloped. Recently the
 oil lands reservations were discover ed and they will be a great source
 of revenue and wealth to the en- , tire country. Oil with a paraffin
 base can be found in great quanti- ties along the coast and already re- fineries are springing into exist ence. In Alaska, too, there are vast forests. The pulp industry affords great opportunity for the invest ment of American capital and we | hope that it will soon rival that of
 other portions of the Northwest. Of course we have the largest salmon industry in the world. ::-.. But Alaska is above all things a sportman's country. It affords ex- cellent fshing-salmon, halibut and herring are to be caught in abund- ance. Game, too, is plentiful, and in this sportsman's paradise, your true hunter finds prolific supply of deer. moose, caribou and reindeer. T would recommend to globe trotting Americans that they try summer in Alaska. There lies before them the time of their lives"
