Last evening at the First Methodist Church, c. c. Hamilton, publication manager of the United Society of Christian Endeavor; Rev. w. Roy Breg, Dallas, Texas; Dr. John Shape, pastor of the First Baptist church at Oakland, and several others gave in- teresting talks before fairly large congregation. Among those in attend ance it was noted that there were a considerable number of tourists as we'll as a good representation of local citizens.
 The meeting was one of several which the Christian Endeavor party, who are just completing an enjoyable tour of the Territory, have made while in Alaska. Other towns where meet ings were held were at Juneau, Cor dova, Anchorage, Nenana and Fair banks.

 TRlcT IS SUPERIOR
ON GOLDEN BELT TOUR
Accessibility by Rail and Motor Will Make Alaska Mecca for
 Worlds Tourists

Alaska will be mecca for tour ists before many more years roll by" said Roy D. Mccartney, tour manager of the Crabtree Travel Office of Oak land. who arrived in Seward yester- day with party of 12 tourists, com pleting the rapidly becoming famous, Golden Belt Tour" Continuing, Mr. Mccarthy said: Members of this par ty who have travelled extensively abroad, are agreed that Alaskan sce- nery is far superior, particularly be- cause of the accessibility by rail or auto, wherein this is not true at the majority of the scenic places of Flu rope"
 While in Seward the entire party were motored out to Lake Kenai. The beautiful scenic trip reminded many of certain regions noted for their beau ty in the States. Starting from Oak land, California, upon arriving at Portland numerous drives were made over the Columbia highway At Se- attle scenic points were visited and out of Juneau the trip to the Menden- hall glacier thrilled them. From Fair banks a trip to the Summit was made but as the season is late, the mid night sun could not be glimpsed, to their disappointment. Referring to the Richardson Highway trip, MT. Mccarthy stated the roads are in ex- cellent shape and the party enjoyed the long motor trip to the heart of Alaska"
 Last year the Crabtree agency sent one party to Alaska. The present trip concludes the second party taken thru this year. Next years routing will be entirely through this district of the Territory, MT. Mccarthy stated, for it is much superior trip to that in Southeastern Alaska The outstand- ing feature noticeable to the people comprising the party was the hospi- tality extended to them everywhere. The meals which were served were good, and Really" MT. Mccarthy said, they gave us portions ample in size to suffice the heartiest eating dog musher in the country" The road house experiences were most novel.
 Included in the party are:
 MT. and Mrs. George Atkins, Wood land; Mir. and Mrs. P. A. Fletcher, of Sacramento; Mrs. John Clauss, Sac ramento; Mrs. E. A. Whitaker, Oak land; Miss Hester Nicholl, Oakland; Master John Nicoll, Oakland; Miss Agnes Lynn, San Jose.

radio corporation of Chicago.
This radio company worked out

sets, during midday, Communicate

These low wave sets newer have
been manufactured commercially,

Commander Macmillan and Com

WiIbur's Motive.
Before the sailing of the expedi-
ton on Saturday and while the
equipment was on the wharf, naval
officials failed to deliver to Lieu
tenant Commander Byrd a sizzling
message from Secretary OF the
Navy Wilbur, ordering him either
to install the naval radio instru-
ments in the three seaplanes or re-
turn to Washington.
For failure to see that this mes
sage reached Byrd, Rear Admiral
De Steigur 4t Boston navy yard
has been severely taken to task by
Secretary Wilbur. it became known
today.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur
bases his strenuous objections to
the low wave length radio equip
ment on the grounds Of insecurity
for the ships. planes and entire
personnel, it is stated, especially
the. planes in getting compass
bearings.
