BUCHANAN BOYS WENT
 SOUTH ON CHARLOTTE

The fourth annual "On to Alaska with Buchanan" tour visited in Wrangell Friday night southbound on the steamer Princess Charlotte from five days stay at Lake Atlin and Lake Bennett
 The party numbered tWenty-three boys between the ages of eleven and nineteen. They made the tour un- der the personal direction of D. Bu- chanan. millionaire philanthropist of Detroit who has become nationally known for his work among boys.
 The party came west by way of Banff and Lake Louise through the Canadian Rockies Returning east their itinerary included visiting the annual Roundup at Bozeman, Mon tana.
 Next year MT. Buchanan will con- duet a party of boys through Eu- rope and said while here that nearly loo may make the trip with him.
 Many boys have expressed their desire to make the trip to Europe. Any who have not visited Alaska will not be eligible, Mir. Buchanan states, because he believes that the youngsters should See America First" for two reasons; first, be cause it is their country and second, because the scenic wonders and in teresting places in the United States, Canada and Alaska far exceed those to be found in Europe.
 The boys are enabled to make these trips through the generosity of Mr. Buchanan who originated the plan. Mr. Buchanan furnished one third of the expense, the boys must earn one-third and their parents are permitted to donate the remain der.
 Accompanying MT. Buchanan and assisting him with the boys were E. s. Des Roehes, manager of the w. D. Ferris Seed Company; pr. and Mrs. A. D. Buchanan of Vancouver, B. C.; Frank T. Lodge, Detroit at torney; Rankin A. Waugh, of De- troit; and l. A. Willhahan, Detroit business man.

WHY WASTE SWEAT
 IN FILLING THE SOIL Judge Thomas of Wrangell 0pines That Alaska Is Mining Rather
 Than Farming Area.
0stroIlers Weekly

More than forty long years have been added to the scroll of Time and consigned to a pigeon-hole in the desk of Eternity since Judge W, c. Thomas. United States Commits sioner at Wrangell who with Mrs. Thomas is now visiting in Juneau, first came to Alaska and during that period his experience aid obserYa tion have convinced him that AL aska is not a place to engage in ag- rfeulture. revel in the aroma of newly-turned loam or preach the doctrine of Back to the Soil.
 Judge Thomas was a guest at the chamber of commerce luncheon yes terday and followed Hugo -Alberts, recently appointed agronomist to look after Uncle Sans experimental agricultural stations in Alaska, in an after dinner talk The Judge is an enthusiastic Alaskan but is con= yineed that greater returns can be obtained from the development of her mineral, numbering and fishing sources than by engaging in agri- culture.
 Judge Thomas who manages to visit Juneau once each year says his visits are tinged with a feeling of sadness oceasioned by the fact that on each successive visit he meets fewer of the old boys of yesteryear his friends of 40 years ago of whom few remain. among them being Emery Valentine, B. NJ Behr- ends, Father Kashevaroff and a few others.
 Regarding the matter of changing time to conform with that of Seat tie. Judge Thomas said Wrangell would of necessity, fall in line but that she was satisfied to remain with Juneau as things now stand on the time question. He also stated that Wrangell is having a good sea son, that her population has inereas- ed 25 per cent within the past two years and the rays of the sun of prosperity are beaming refulgently on that town and community.

passed by the last session of Con-
gross too late to be enacted into
