Alaska TOURIST
SEASON LAUNCHED
itineraries Featuring Lake
AtIin and White Pass
Districts.

SEATTLE, June 13.--The Alaska
season stepped to the front this week
with the initial sailings and advance
bookings voicing healthy indications
that season supreme was on the
threshold for the Northern wonder
lands. Prominent in the passenger
lists were the wide representations
from nearly every State in the Union,
according to tourists and steamship
officials, who foresee a season of rec
ord travel, drawn from both East and
West. Many tours are featuring Lake
Atlin and the White Pass districts.
Lake Atlin, which stretches over 80
miles, is a vision of grandeur, eXcelled
in few parts of the world. The secluded
garden lands visited are topped by
snow-white peaks above immense
tracts of forest greenery and robed In
bright flowers.
The White Pass voyage is through
Lake Laberge, White Horse Rapids and
the famous Thirty Mile River. Passing
Five Finger Rapids the 175-mile
steamer journey to Dawson eliminates
into scenic waterway passage, framed
by giant rising palisades, which edge
and recede into picturesque vistaS.

tive of the long trail, now is an ultra
modern city, with charming homes,
gardens, parks, fine hotels. Motor
roads lead to many famous totem vii
lagos.
Four itineraries include visits to
Ketchikan, Wrangell and the Taku
Glacier voyage. At Juneau a sight
seeing journey may be made of the
gold mines, with motor tour to AUX
Lake and Mendenhal Glacier. Skag-

Augusta, Ga, April 2--(UP)-W. Lawson Little of San Francisco, amateur golf's greatest player for the past two years, has turned proc fessional to join Bobby Jones in . golf promotion position with . sporting goods company.
 The 25-year old San Franciscan renounced his amateur status last night in a decision which surprised even his close friends. He will play in the Augusta Masters tournament starting Friday, as 8 professional. Unlike Bobby Jones, who will not accept prize money, Little will take whatever he wins.
 Golf In China
 Little, who learned to play golf on the wind-swept plains of Tientsin, China, where his father was sta- toned at U. s. Army post, will tour the country in a campaign to increase interest in golf. His work will consist of giving exhibitions, demonstrations, and lectures.
 T regret giving up my amateur status" said Little, "but I feel I shall be happier and more useful in my new work than in any other might undertake"
 Little Grand Slam"
 On his honeymoon here, Little said that his wife approved of his decision to quit the amateur ranks which he has dominated the last two years. His grand slam in the U. s. and British amateur cham- pionships in two years is unequaled in golf history.
 He will seek the British and U. s. open titles this year, and will play in several other open tourna. ments.
 After the Augusta tournament, Little, Jones, Jimmy Thomson and Horton Smith probably will start the first of the planned demonstra- tions. They will give lectures in addition to exhibitions, especially catering to boys and girls of cole lege age.
