T|LLAMOOK MAY BE SECURED FOR
 ALASKA SERVICE
Commercial Association Se- cures Response Many
 Speakers at Noon Lunch.

That the efforts of the Juneau Commercial Association to stimulate the local fish business by securing direct weekly boat connections be tween Juneau and Prince Rupert are bearing fruit, was shown today by report made to the association at it's noon luncheon meeting by William E. Britt of a conference he attended recently in Seattle relative to placing the TIlamook on the pro posed run. MT. Britt said that Cap tain Thornton of the Tillamook was anxious to make arrangements for the service and had asked for assiht ance from local merchants.
 It is understood that the establish ment of the proposed service will involve an investment of approxi- mately $5O,000 to $60,O00. The mat ter is to be pressed by the associa- ton without delay. The committee on transportation and boat service, Charles Goldstein, was instructed to get into communication with the in terested parties. Negotiations will probably be opened by telegraph and a suggestion made that representa- tives of the Tillamooks owners be sent here to go into the matter per sonally.
 Reception for Bone
 Chairman w. G. Johnson, for the special committee on arrangements for reception to Governor Bone, announced that the committee had given the matter much attention and was not ready to make it's final re- port at this time, but that a recep- tion would be held for Governor Bone.
 Suggestions and recommendations for rehabilitation of Father Browns trail up Mount Roberts for the bene fit of tourist travel were made by Chairman E. s. Hewitt, of the adver- reported that the committee was get ting out an attractive four-page folder which would be distributed among passengers on boats prior to their arrival in this port. In this folder the points of interest in this vicinity of especial attraction to tourists are named.
 Scenic Attractions Unrivaled
 The scenir attractions of Juneau and vicinity are unrivaled and should be advertised to the limit, declared Charles H Flory, district forester of Alaska. The Mendenhall loop sec tion of Glacier Highway will be com pleted for automobile traffic by July 1, next year, said MT. Flory, and it will open up to tourists scenic at fractions which, in his opinion, could not be equalled by any district of similar size anywhere in the world. No greater variety of scenery exists anywhere, he said. It was suggested by him that a picnic ground could easily be made at the face of Men denhall Glacier. He assured the CO., operation of the Forest Service and promised the construction of a trail along the edge of the glacier back for a distance of several miles.
 Pulp Development Work
 ''It is only a matter of time until the development of Alaska's pulp wood resources is revived on an in tensive scale," said MT. Flory. This will come as soon as there is a re- adjustment of financial conditions, which, he said, is already taking place. Alaska is third in the number of applications for water power de. velopment permits. Eight of these applications involve pulp projects. according to MT. Flory. The For est. Service. he said, is using the breathing spell in preparing data necessary to induce investments in the national forests. It has $30,000 for making these investigations this year and will expend it in gathering definite information for investors.
