drawn guns, met them, demanded

I. P. Hall Arrives to Make Enumeration for Official

Representing R. l.. Polk X Co.,, the national direetory publishers, J. D. Hall and Mrs. Hall arrived on the steamship Jefferson today from ket' chikan, where they were for two weeks gathering data, getting photo graphs and making the enumeration of Ketchikan's population for the All aska- Yukon Directory and Gazette.
 This directory will cover the Terri tories of Alaska and Yukon, giving full information relative to all firm and individuals in each town covered
 The directory wild be similar il form to the directory of Port An geles and Clallam county recently published by this company, which re ceived such favorable comment botf in Seattle and Eastern cities. Com plete lists of business firms and in dividuals in all cities and towns coy cred will be included. together wlta an entire director of business firms, classified according to the kind of business, and a sketch of each city and town. giving distances from va. rious points and valuable data re' garding mail and shipping.
 1t will have an exhaustive illustfa tive writeup covering the Territory, it's various resources, the fisheries, mining industries, timber, oils and wood pulp development, as well as the possibilities for agriculture.
 A section of the book will be de- voted to the wonderful scenic beau ties and the Ibig game hunting, which will have it's special appeal to the tourist and sportsman.
 The directory will be valuable, not only to the residents of Alaska who have long felt the need of such a publication, but to the business men and firms in the States who have or desire to establish connections in Alaska.
 In addition to the distribution throughout Alaska, this directory, through the system of interchange practiced by the publishers, will be placed in the directory library of Cbtiy ldlSC Sltg III bhC ChibNo States. This will insure much favor able publicity for Alaska, as the nu- merous sketches and illustrations will be arranged so as to give the outsider comprehensive view of Alaska's many and diversified attractions, which will go far towards -dispelling the idea, still held by some, that Alaska is only a land of snow and ice.
 MT. Hall states that business con ditions in Ketchikan are excellent and looking very good for the com ing season; also that the Ketchikan secton of the directory will carry hahf-tone cuts of all of the leading { industries and buildings He ex- poets to remain in Juneau a week or 10 days gathering material for the work.
