 Roger Pockinpaugh of Washington on his great play this year IS propabiS tho most valuable shortstop m me American league.

FORMER ALASKA TOURIST
 WRITES ID MEL H0RNER

Howard B. Macdonald, of New York who made the tour of the territory two years ago, writes to Mel Horner, who accompanied the Totem Tours party from Cordova over the railroad, that since his trip to Alaska he has travel cd all over the world, taken thousands of photos, and compiled number of lectures on his travels, but that he has yet to see the scenery or experience the delights of trip equal to that of the Alaskan tour.
 It will be remembered that at the time Mr. Macdonald and companions were here, it rained continuously, several mud slides occurred on the railroad, and the streams along the Richardson highway were roaring tor rents. Despite these drawbacks, MT. Macdonald apparently enjoyed his trip as his letter indicates that he in tends to return to Alaska and with MT. Homer go to the Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes where he will take pictures.
 Mr. Macdonald writes that after his trip through Alaska he took 100000 mile trip around the world, and will spend this summer in Norway and Sweden.
