NEVER SAW ALASKA; THINKS GENERAL RIGHT

Edward B. Clark author of the Ar my and Navy article appearing in yesterdays Gateway, presents his case fairly well with the exception he doesn't to know much about the subject. First of all would respectfully ask Mr. Clark to secure some information to why the Alaska Railroad was built It not built primarily to assist in the development of Alaska but to exploit the Maanuska coal fields And that subject would refer him to the Washington files. He'll be surprised if he digs deep enough.
 In days gone by we would have overlooked this art- cle but there is we'll developed and organized effort among certain element in the East to dscredt every thing in Alaska It therefore becomes duty to pro- test in our own feeble way The suggestion Mr. Clark makes that the reteraon of these extravagant state ments is intended chiefly to secure continuing appro priations from Congress" is dirty crack.
 General Richardson may have written his article for the Atlantic Monthly in entire good faith but coming at such an nopportune tmeCongress in session. the only real opportunity Alaska has to present it's case-t par ucularly handicapped two of Alaskas most needed de- partmens in the matter of securing appropriations ap preparations for the purpose of assisting these Northern
 pioneers Tn carving an empire from out wilderness for the people of the United States including Mr. Edward Clark

 VISITING RESORTER
BIG RESORT MAN OF CALIFORNIA THINKS MORE VISITORS HELP
 DEVELOP TERRITORY

You have the tourists coming now and the flood will increase, but don't lay down on the job because it will be tremendous source of revenue to Alaska and a means whereby the resources of the Territory will even
 rually be developed", said J. A. Pilk- 'ington, director of the Santa Cruz Seaside company and operator of the Casa del Key hotel, the Casa del Rev apartments and the Casino at the famous seaside resort below San Francisco. MT. Pilkington has bann all through the Interior with Ms.
 Piikington and is now in Seward
 ewaiting the departure of the Victo ia next week. While here the couple have been visiting with their daugh. Iter, wife of Captain Lukens of the U. IS. geodetic survey boat Surveyor r
 This tourist traffic is great thing and it has come about by leaps land bounds Things have doubled UT so quickly at Santa Cruz that it has .us all guessing. The good roads make it possible and the automobile tour ists pour in on us from all over the United States Something will happen here when more good roads up here are completed Why just to give you an idea of the flood of tourists and visitors we have, our penny arcade took in over $15,OOO in pennies last season. We had to shovel them out by the bucketful. We have dozens If concessions on the water front and they all make money.
 You have a wonderful, beautiful country, and you need not be afraid to invite anybody up here to see it. /! do warn you however to prepare bet- ter accommodation When that. stream of tourists swells, many of them vii become interested in your 1nparaIeI- ed resources and will stop to look them over and to put some money into development"

ANCHORAGE FORMING
 HANDBALL TEAMS

Much interest in that fine art of handball has been manifested in Anchorage in the past few weeks, ac- cording to arrivals in Seward, and it 1 is probable that within few weeks or month club will be organized and participation in the sport will be so great that the court will be oc- cupied each evening.
 More than score of fans are in- terested in the Cook Inlet city, and it is probable that many more will be- come ardent fans of the popular in door sport, once that suitable quar- ters are obtained and play is started. Numbered among these, who ar trying to organize club, are some exper- benced men, who larned the sport in the States.
 Those backing the sport are inter estad in conducting a tournament to discover the best players, so that singles and doubles matches can be arranged with Seward handballers, who have been champions of Alaska for three years running.

Efforts to obtain a copy of the

it developed that H. F. Horner, one

rushed away with it in order to catch
the train for Fargo.
The platform was read from q

Bismarck late in January with such
changes as to date and place as were
necessary to make it conform to con-
ditions here today.
The only change from the printed
form was an additional paragraph
endorsing the candidates. of Ncstos,
Burtness and Hall, and blank space
was left for the name Of the con-
gressional candidates from the third
district, whose name had not yet
been announced when the platform
was adopted.
