 Must Sell Visitors
 Tho importance of the visit of the President and his companions, and the Congressman and Senators mak- ing the trip here early next month was stressed by R. AE. Robertson. sThe impression obtained by these officials on their Alaska. trip will be reflected in Alaskan policies adopted by the Administration and Congress in the future" he said. Tt is my opinion that we have to sell this part of Alaska to them; to show them what resources we ehave; what de- yelopment has been made and is still taking place, in some concrete form, he declared He urged the necessity of "wisualizing to the officials" the importance of tho panhandle Of the Territory in which the greatest amount of local development has al ready taken place.

Faulkner and himself. had conferred with the Governor and that it would work out the entertainment for the three parties with the committees appoint ed by Mayor Goldstein in such man ner as will harmonizc with any plans adopted by the Governor.
 The committee. hc added has un- der consideration automobile trips to Mcndenhall Glacier, boat trips to Taku Glacier, visits to tho Alaska Jul neau mill and mine and probably in some instances where the time of the visitors will permit trip to Dr. DcVighne's tourist camp on Taku River.
