FRIDAY, AUGUST IS, 1922

Tourists to Alaska this year have been hoard ir many instances to express thelr sur nrise at the scarcity of literature giving ln- formation as to what there is to be seen, and how. and why. for the benefit of strangers to- the North. By far the greater part of adver- Using for tourist travel to Alaska is carried on bv Canadian lines which, of course, en- nhasize the scenic attractions via Skagway and the White Pass. Many travellers from the east who have made their steamship reserva- lions in Chicago. have been advised virtually not at all as to any points of interest ln AL aska to the westward, and have been cha crined on coming as far as Skagway only to learn that they have no more than a glimpse of Alaska.
 Alaskan towns have hardly awakened to the advantages to be gained by the encourage mcnt of tourist travel. Virtually nothing at all is done in the towns along the steamship routes to make strangers welcome and to d. rect them to points of interest in the vicinity. An interior town has recently seen to the forming of a "greeting committee," whose business it shall be to meet and welcome strangers and give information to things to be seen thereabouts and the ways of seeing them. It is good move, and one which should be initiated Dy every lOWu HI tne IelIlIo y' But it should be carried further Steamships should be met, bureaus of information should be established at the steamship docks, ex- cursons be planned and made convenient and attractive local exhibits should be arranged and the historic and industrial features of the localities explained. An objection to such a plan is the fact that the arrivals of steamers and the lengths of their stays are uncertain, many of them docking late at night and go- ing out in the early morning. Nevertheless, strangers should not be permitted to get away from towns without learning something of it's significance and resources. This can be given them through booklets and folders distrib- uted on tue steamships and at the information bureaus on the docks Alaska's attractions consist of great deal more than baskets and moccasins and sdusky purvevors squatted on the docks. All it's color and pcturesqueness should be maintained, it's beauties made the most of Interest in the country is keen and searching among travellers and little effort on the part of local chambers of commerce, affiiating with the steamship companies, would go long way toward enlivening tour ist interest in the country and attracting to 1t stream of intelligent people who would he the source not only of immediate revenue to the communities, but of invaluable advertis- ing outside, where so much of misconception and lack of appreciation of the country's re- sources prevails.

LABOR'S BEST FRIEND

There is no occasion for radical labor lead CTS to express surprise over what they choose to call "sudden display of backbone in the White House." That reference to President Harding's declaration that the decisions of the railroad labor board will have the full backing of the government, shows failure to keep in mind MT. Harding's public utterances in the past Mr. Harding is taking no new pc sition.
 In 1919, if we remember rightly, at the time the transportation act was before the Senate, it contained two provisions relating to labor and wages. One provision created board for adjudication of disputes over wages and con- ditions of labor and the other made it unlaw- ful to enter into a conspiracy to interrupt n- terstate traffic on railroads. This was known as the anti-strike clause. Senator Harding supported both provisions and was taken to task by the Ohio federation of railway em- poyes, who asked why he voted for anti-strike clause In widely circulated reply MT. Hard7 ing said that in his private pursuits as pub fisher he was an employer of organized labor, having never known a controversy with his men, and that he believed in rational unionism. Organization and collective bargaining under wise leadership had done more to build up the cause of labor than all other agencies com bined He added:
 ''I favored the anti-strike clause because it applies to a public service under govern ment regulation in which Congress exercises it's power to limit the return on cauital invest ed, fixes rates at which the public must be served, enacts the conditions under which service must be rendered, and finally, in the anti-strike clause, provides a capable tribunal for the adjustment of all labor grievances so no interruption in transportation need be ap- prehended I believe it not only consistent but a distinct advance in behalf of the public and senting all the people can not guarantee ser vice under any and all conditions, it fails ut terlv. If that same government cannot pro- vide just consideration of the worlmen oprr- ating the transportation system, it fails again. It must do both.'
 As passed by ongress the transportation act contained the provision for the adjudication of disputes, but the anti-strike clause was eliminated, leaving railroad employees free to strike provided they violate no other laws, MT. Harding does not put the case in any other terms as president than he did when he was Senator. He manifests the same quality of back bone now that he did then. As candi- date he spoke deliberately, courageously, and wisely, and he speaks the same language now.
 Neither laboring men in general nor labor union members in particular ever had a bet ter friend than Warren G. Harding. The trou- ble is they are being mised to their injury by some of their radical leaders who desire Soviet Russia's plan of naturalization of industries. Seward Gateway.

Mr. Colley had hitched team of
horses to a load of feed, and had left
them standing in the yard while he
returned to the barn after another
team. Mrs. Colley had just come out
of the house after some kindling.

stop them, got directly IN their path,
with the result that she was knocked
down, her neck being broken by the
passing of the heavy load over hrr

GENERAL MEETING TAKES
ACTION In FERRY CASE

A general meeting of business mer
and farmers was held at the Com
mercia1 club office this afternoon to
consider the ferry situation and de-
eide what should be done to resist
the efforts of the county commits
sioners to get an injunction against
the Littlefield ferry.
Attorney H. N. Marion reviewed
the legal points of the case so far
as he had time to look them up. Geo.
Littlefield stated his position in the
matter.
A hearing before district court
with Judge Borton of Glasgow pre-
siding has been set for tomorrow.
The particular matter to come before
the court at this time is a motion to
let D. A. Martin of Poplar be sub
stituted for Marius Peterson in the
action, Peterson having transferred
his franchise to Martin.
1t was decided to fight the case
through and arrangements were made
to have Attorneys Marion and Scho-
ening of this city and Attorney Kline
of Glasgow represent Littlefeld's in
terests.
1t was understood that the COM
have employed George
Ericsson of Poplar to appear for
their side as special council at fee
Of S1500.00.

BEAUTIFUL SCENES ARE FILMED
"What Every Woman Knows"Artis-
tic VIM. DeMille Production

Many picturesque scenes are shown
in the new VIM. DeMille Paramount
perturbation of Sir James M. Barrle's
play, what Every Woman Knows, .
which will be shown at the Liberty
theatre, Saturday, May 13. The
story is laid in Scotland and London
and deals with young student with
political ambitions and with his mat
rimonial experiences with a young
woman whom he agrees to marry
that he might secure the means to
finance his career. One of the most
unique settings in the picture is
cheap London barber shop which has
been converted into the political
headquarters of the young candidate
for parliament. This set has been
pronounced perfect in every detail
and atmosphere by those who are ia
miliar with London. Conrad Nagle
is the leading man.

THROUGH WONDER
LAND WITHLEAVITT

Scott Leavitt of Great Falls, who
was one of the party that made the
circuit of the National parks of the
West, described in most pleasing style
to large audience at the high school
Wednesday evening, the more re-
markable features of these wonder
spots. The lecture was illustrated
by great number of slides showing
in their natural colors part of the
surprisingly beautiful and majestic
views that are spread before the trav-
eler.
The travelogue started with Gla-
cier National Park and after making
grand circuit through California,
and including the Grand Canyon of
the Colorado and the ancient homes
of the Cliff Dwellers, concluded with
Yellowstone Park. AS described by
picture and words, every bit of the
distance was filled with the marvels
and beauties of Nature.
Tt was delightful evenings jour
ney, of genuine educational benefit
to those so fortunate as to make it. y
Mr.. Leavitt is a ready speaker,
gifted with an excellent voice and the
happy faculty of choosing clear and
forceful language in harmony with
the dignity of his subject. The mo-
tive of his tour is to promote fuller
of the scenic West. |
Years in the forestry service, and
other government and civic service,
rave made Mr. Leavitt one of the
,roadest and best informed men of
he state.
Before the lecture the school band
endered several pleasing numbers
hat were thoroughly appreciated by
he audience.
