 Praises DeVighne.


 Seeing Twin Glacier Camp was we'll worth our trip to Alaska said Sherman Rogers, well known writer and industrial correspondent to the Outlook, who returned to Juneau this morning with Mrs. Rogers and several guests, after spending near ly. two days at the camp on Talu River.
 s'I have been an enthusiast on real hunting lodges for many years. but the scenery fish, moose and bear, |"Twin Camp stands out like Mount Mckinley in fog" Mir Rogers de- clared s
 %"While touring the Territory last summer I was amazed that there were so flaw places where tourists or hunters could go for few days trip where they could find big game right off the bat and still enjoy the comforts of home life. "I saw moose less than four hours after arriving at Twin Camp and I within two nffeS bear tracks could be found in all sizes.
 I aiH Model Camp l sia'The camp itself is model in camp construction and is managed Iby one of the most remarkable per sonalities I have met, Mrs. Felix Gray of Douglas.
 l >"Alaska has long needed camps l of this kind and if more are estab- flished there will be a dozen wealthy men visit the Territory where one tcomes today. That is all the busy Ibusiness man who can only spend few days on his vacation wants, l d definite place to go where he can see game, enjoy himself and get back on schedule. Let me say this 1 kind of business man is the kind l Alaska wants, men with the sporting {, instinct who will become interested 1 in prospects, timber and other re- sources, men who are glad to take and put right back in territorial venture whatever gain they may make.
 "It is this type of men that have developed Oklahoma in a remarkably short space of time.
 Camps like that which Dr. De- vighne has established on the Taku River will do more to interest this class of men in making an Alaskan trip than any other inducement the people of the Territory can offer
 'I can sum up the opinion of myself and the members of the party who made the trip to the camp in three words, the best ever"
 The members of the party made trips for hunting, fishing and tol view the country. Six moose were seen on one trip when several of the party went across the river toI 'the flats opposite the camp. A trip was made to Twin Glacier Lake and tho thrill of shooting the rapids downstream experienced. Three In- dian guides at the camp conducted the hunters on their various trips and are of the best among the Atlin Indians who have been employed by pr. DeVighne for the season. The members of the party were: MT. and Mrs. Sherman Rogers, MT. and Mrs. w. S. Pekovich, w. r. Niedringhaus, of St. Louis, Mo-. Mrs Ts G. Radonich and Miss Dorothy Haley. Father A. J. Rocatti, who was in camp on the first day the party was there, joined the hunters on a trip up Johnson Creek and tol Twin Glacier Lake.
 MT. and Mrs. Rogers and Mir. l Niedringhaus, who is accompanying them on their trip to Alaska, will leave Juneau tomorrow on the steamer Northwestern for Seattle. They plan to make a trip through i Glacier National Park before re- turning to their home in New York City, when MT. Niedringhaus will continue to San Francisco. |
