Col and Mrs d. c. Jackling, Jake
Baum, business Manager of the
Los Angeles Times, and Frank
Pfaffinger, Treasurer Of the Times.
The we're all charmed with the
scenery and other surroundings
of Juneau.
Conditions here are even more
favorable for the pulp and pape
industry which we hope to estah
lish, than | had anticipated, said
Mr. Cameron. Like all first com
ers to the Territory | am astonish-
ed at the charm and lure of the
place, and find it beyond its repu
tation. The trip to Snettishaln
inlet was delightful and the long
Crater Lake power sites were
even more impressive from the
power point of view that | had
been led to believe. Your Glacier
Highway is a wonderful drive and
a very valuable asset of your COM
munity.
Everyone has been more than
courteous, and | only regret that
we were not able to stay Longer,
to see some additional sites. and
do a little fishing" declared Mr..
Cameron. 81 hope to stay longer
on my next trip and enjoy some
of the opportunities that seem to
be so abundant for outdoor
sports"
