Possibility Of New

Fairbanks Is the center OF great
section which would surprise the in
dividuaL who expected only mountains
In Alaska. Away from the south
coast, the country back of the barrier
of mountain ranges stretches broadly
as great inland plateau. rolling
gently north to the reaches of the
Bering sea. Tanana and Fairbanks
are centers of a growing agricultural
region which is having considerable
success in producing quick-growing
crops. The big inland plain is inhab-
tied chiefly by huge herds of reindeer
guarded by native owners.
"Most of the minerals for which
Alaska Is noted-gold. silver and cop
per-are found in both upper and low
er Alaska. The Juneau district pro-
duces three times as much gold as the
rest of Alaska and II has some of the
great copper mines Of the country. A
further contrast between the two Sec
tions Is found In shipping statistics J;
while 1918 ships cleared at the fish,
ing port Of Ketchikan, only 300 clear
ings were reported for all other Alas
kan ports In 1922.

state department of safety, will leave
Detroit to visit each community in the
state. The upper peninsula will be
visited first, Mr.. Davis said.

TO TAKE PART IN
CHICAGO EXPOSITION

Nine communities throughout the
upper peninsula of Michigan-Mar-
quette, Houghton, Escanaba, Menom-

Stambaugh, Newberry and Calumet
have already Signed up" for parti-
cipation in the upper Michigan dis
play at the National Travel and Out
door Exposition at Chicago May to
ID, this year, according to George E.
Bishop, secretary-manage Of the
Development Bureau. Mr.. Bishop
is directing this feature for the upper
peninsula.
I'VE feel, however, that we should
have more Of Cloverland's communi-
ties with US in this effort" Mr.. Bish-
op declared. True, the Bureau has
agreed to defray one-half the ex-
pense of the exhibit, but we find now
that our display will cost at least
$1,000 before it is finally arranged,
which means that VIC ought to re-
ceive at least $500 from the various
communities. Each of the nine com
munities already signed up has
agreed to subscribe $40 to the dis
play. We should have four or five
more, however, to make up the diff
ference"
Plans are in progress for meeting
CT commercial club secretaries and
other civic officials representing the
various communities participating in
the display, to make definite arrange
ments for the upper Michigan exhib-
it at the exposition.

TO ESTABLISH MORE
PARKS in PENINSULA

Forthcoming tourist season have been
received by George E. Bishop, secre-
tary-manager Of the Upper Peninsula

Gently returned from several days
visit in Lansing, in conference with
various state officials.
Assurances that the two proposed
sites-one at the southern end of
Lake Gogebic, in Gogebic county, and
the other at Michigamme Beach, Lake
Michigamme-were receiving the con-
sideration of the department of con-
servation, came directly from P. j.
Hoffmaster, superintendent of state
parks. During brief conference with
Mr.. Hoffmaster, the latter assured
Mr.. Bishop that if the total acreage
of the proposed site at Michigamme
could be increased to 160 acres, there
was little doubt that it would be ac-
cepted by the state as a park site.
The Lake Gogebic site has already
been practically decided upon, it was
intimated.
Favorable consideration has also
been given to another site inspected
by state department officials during
their visit to upper Michigan last
year. The site-one of the five visit
ed by conservation authorities on
their tour last year-is in Marquette
county, located about three and one
half miles east Of the city of Mar
quette on picturesque rise known as
Bishops Hill. Mr.. Hoffmaster de-
clared that the site would be accepted
by the state, If purchased first by

OLDER BOYS CONFERENCE


Conference is holding it's ninth annual
session this week at Stambaugh, COM
mencing this afternoon and continu-
ing all through Saturday AID Sunday.
The conference proper will begin with
a big banquet this evening served by
the young men of the entertaining
city, to be followed by a program
lccnsisting of an address Of welcome,
responses and the introduction Of the
conference speakers.
Saturday and Sunday will be devot-
ed to the main purpose of the conyen-
tion, which includes groups represent
ing the various institutions sending
delegates. Sunday is usually the big
day with emphasis rut upon the big
mass meeting for delegates and lead
ers who are all expected to be present
to hear an address by some national
speaker and leader of young people.
This year the speaker will be Bishop
Theodore S. Henderson of Detroit.
The last session will be held Sum
day evening.
No event of the year for older boys
between the ages of fifteen and twen-
ty can surpass this, for no boy at
tending the conference who is real
fellow cannot fail to see the import
ance Of playing the game and being
four-square to every wind that blows.
There is no greater asset to any
community than its young manhood
rightly visioned and trained. It is
the purpose of the Older Boys Con-
ference to do it's share in that direc-
ton.
L'Anse is to be represented at the
conference by six delegates and Pc
auaming with two. Those from
L'Anse arc Gabriel Gamache, Louis
Simmonich, Theodore Nelson, Theo-
dore Kotila, Morgan Edwardsen and
Clyde Campbell. Those from Feouam-
ing are Martin Almli and Allen Swan.
The boys with their leader left on the
st. Paul train yesterday afternoon.
1t would hardly be possible to send
such large delegation only for the
interested manifested by the busi-
ness men and others Of L'Anse and
Pequaming, who without the least re-
luctance have given practically the
amount necessary to pay the trans
portation of the boys to and from the
conference.
Reverend w. H. Rule has consented
to be the leader and will have charge
of the boys On their trip.
We are proud of our delegation and
we are sure thaa the boys and COM
munity will profit by the experience.
