ALASKA LOOKS FORWARD TO
 SECRETARY'S VISIT

Secretary Ickes and his bride enroute from Washington to Seattle and next Thursday are scheduled to sail from Seattle for several weeks visit to Alaska during which time he expects to see good deal of the Territory, including the South east the Westward and Interior. The entire Terri tory is looking forward to meeting the Cabinet off, cer the second Alaskans have been host to this mer MT Farley having but recently been in the north Up in Fairbanks, the News-Ndiner sees much of benefit to come from the secretarys trip to Alaska Commenting that MT Ickes is coming to us D the News-Miner says:
 That Harold | Ickes Secretary of the Depart ment of the Interior and bride to visit Alaska win open the eyes of Aaskans to hopes of better under standing many things.
 MT Ickes presides over the department that has more than any other branch of the Federal Admins tration to do with things Alaskan
 The Alaska Railroad, the highways and many other Federal activities in the Territory carry on according to his policy Most positive and mfetered by red tape of any members of the cabinet MT Ickes the directing head of many of the Federal agencies that affect the destiny of many affairs in the many States and Territories
 Alaska is one of his great responsibilities. That he has had to depend upon reports of department representatives and others in handling matters under his guidance in the Territory doubtless has been handicap.
 Now that he is to come and the country and interview her people, he is sure to go home with far wider knowledge and understanding of the true conditions and needs of Alaska
 This is Alaskas chance. Prepare to show the sec retary everything worth whe-explain what it's all about and what Alaska most needs
 MT Ickes cannot but be impressed by the vastness and the great potentalities of Alaska-and the spirit of her people and her progressiveness- like all other visitors go home with heart full of pride and friendliness for this great Northland.
 There are a lot of things that Aaskans can iron out to advantage with the secretary while here-and much to be gained to mutual advantage.
 Give the secretary hand when he comes-and particularly in Fairbanks, metropolis of that portion of Alaska with which his important department is most concerned
