Evans. MT. Rogers is making a tour of Alaska to study the industrial prob lens in the Territory, particularly in reference to the operations of gov ernment bureaucracies. The articles which MT. Rogers will write on condi- tions as he find them here, are to be published in the Outlook for the last week in July or the first week in Au- gust, which issue is to be entirely devoted to Alaska.
 "There has been so much misinfor- nation regarding Alaska that the Out l look has decided to investigate for it. self and I have been assigned tn the work he said this morning. Every time anything is said in Wash rgton. some congressman from the back woods jumps up and immediately cries, Nothing doing We'll not per. nit any exploitation The reason is that Alaskan conditions are not under stood and I am going to attempt to get the truth of conditions, without preiu- dice or bias, and give them as they are"

 FRESH MILK FOR MILLIONS
 Before Mir Rogers started for Alas ka he wrote an unforgetable' account of how fresh, clean milk is rushed every morning to the breakfast tables of New York's five million. This il- luminating article will appear iii the May 31 issue of the Outlook.
 Rogers first wrote for the Outlook in January, 1920, and at that time, in introducing him to their reAderS, the editors of the Outlook, put the following note over his first arti !e:
 After reading this article any one is likely to want to know what sort of a man wrote it and how it happened to appear in these pages. The reader may therefore skip this note at first; but we venture to guess that he will read it after he has finished reading what MT. Rogers has so tersely md so compellingly written. MT. Rogers, as we can testify, is not a whit less vigorous and racy in his talk than in his writing He terms his own style ''barnyard English"
 He has had the advantage of an education such as no university can give.
 And he has proved an exceptional student; for good many men have gone through experience similar to his without being educated. After a youth spent in contact with hard work he spent several years in logging camps of the Puget Sound district. He was at first "chokerman," and became skilled in "bucking" logs. Then he rose to the position of "bull bucker,' wood term for foreman of the crews that fell the timber and then cut it into lengths. At last he became tim Der foreman and assistant to the su- perintendent When he achieved this place of responsibility, a lumber strike was called by the I. w. w. MT Rogers had been very much impressed 1 by the arguments of Socialism and had counted himself a Socialist He had acquired. however, in the meantime some instructive experience when he went for a while into numbering for himself and found that the role of cap italist and manager was not all ap- plause and bouquets. By the time the I. w. w. strike broke out he knew some of the facts of which the l. w. w. agitators were in blessed ignor- ance. Using these facts as ammuni- tion, he carried on an active campaign, not against the members of the l. w. w. personally but against their ideas, and he found that the sincere\ but ig- norant radicalism of the lumberjacks was easily demolished by the truyl.
 About year ago hes started inves- tigating labor conditions in the East
 Recently he found somewhere copy of the Outlook with a picture of an American workingman on the cover and underneath it the caption "Men Are Square" That struck him as
