They arrived here on the Adimarl Evans, from the interior, where they spent most of last month in Mckinley Park.

 For scenic wonders Alaska is m surpassed" Said Dean Russell. I've have been in the heart of the country, out in the wilds with only one pack horse and guide that we might live as sourdoughs and not as tourists, and we feel that our efforts have been we'll rewarded. The hardships we have gone through have been part of the game and we wouldn't have missed one of them. The Richard son Highway is one of Americas big gest assets in scenery"
 They have no desire to kill the big game in Alaska but are chiefly in terested in seeing the country and obtaining photographs.
 Take Motion Pictures
 MT. Carow has a motion picture ko- dak with him and has taken several rolls of films. While in Mckinley Park he filmed pictures of a herd of caribou and got within 25 feet of one big buck His efforts to obtain good pictures led him through many dangerous experiences. One day while on a mountain top, he said, he lost track of the sguide and in his en- thusiasm to get shot at caribou near a glacier he crossed valley and climbed a mountain on the op- posite side alone and without think ing to take his direction. He did not realize his predicament until he had finished taking the pictures and looked around for the guide when he realized the guide and Dean Russell were on the mountain across the valley which stretched for miles. was late in the afternoon and he was without food or a gun. The expert ence was his first thrill he said and the thrill lasted for several hours un- til he spied the tent which the guide had set up near the foot of the noun tain from which he had crossed and to where he made his way back in safety.
 Agriculture
 There is little possibility that the interior of Alaska will ever become successful agricultural district on commercial basis in the opinion of Dean Russell, on account of the prohibitive expense of transportation. It is probable. hover, that in time Alaska will supply the needs of the residents in the Territory. There is no doubt that grains and vegetables can be raised successfully and in quantity but competition in the states would be impossible, he said
 The influx of tourists to the north this season is surprise to the two men. They planned a visit to Alas ka last January, after spending part of last summer in northern British Columbia, and made their reservations for the trip last March. When they reached Seattle they found between two and three thousand people had been denied reservations for the trip by the steamship companies on account of lack of facilities for trans portation.
 Regular Trip
 We planned our trip to Alaska to be regular trip" said Dean Russell. l "That is why we are taking our time jp seeing as much as we can and itl
