WEARY
 PASSENGERS IN
 ON }. 5. YUKON
Storm on lynn Canal De. seribed by Health
 Dept. Men

fl A boat ride so rough r they were glad to walk home from it was described today by Kaarlo Nasi and Warren Eveland, Department of Public Health officials, who ar rived home in Juneau on the steamer Yukon after leaving the stormbound motorship Triton at Litnikoff Cove, Chilkat Inlet.
 With Dr. John w. Carswell, they left here early last week for a trip to Skagway and Hanes on official business. Nasi is Public Health Engineer; Eveland, Director of Laboratories, and Carswell, Ter ritofial Epidemiologist.
 Snow, Rain, Wind
 Finishing their business in Skag- way, they started down Lynn Carl- al at noon Thursday. Below Haines they ran into bIinding saowstorm which forced them to seek an- chofage in the lee of Sullivan Is- land When the wind came up the Triton cruised in the lee of the island from 2::30 o'clock Friday morning until 8;3o o'clock, when the little cruiser headed it's nose into the Southeast blow. Water rolled over the passengers said to- day, to the top of it's skylights.
 So the Triton turned about to the north end of Sullivan Island for shelter on a flood tide. At l o'clock Friday afternoon the vessel made break across open water six miles to Litnikoff Cove. If they thought they had seen rough water before, they soon changed their minds, Eveland and Nasi said. The expression on the faces of all the. passeners during the hours crossing was something to see, they admit today.
 Long Walk
 < Nasi went ashore at a cannery dock at the, cove and started to walk to Haines with the intention of summoning an automobile to get the others. Heavy slides across the roads however, made auto travel appear impossible. so Nasi returned for, Eveland and together, suitcase in hand, they walked through the driving rain seven miles to Haines.
 The Alaska was six hours late at. Haines, so it was possible for Dr. Carswell to reach the town by automobile and foot in time to catch the steamer. pr. Carswen went right through Juneau today on the Alaska. He is going to the Midwest on personal business for about 10 days.
 The Triton, with Capt. c. A, Hayes and John Smith aboard, is still at Litnikoff Cove, for all it's passengers know-or care.

WRITER HILSCHER STOPPING OFF ON
 WAY TO STATES
Says Alaska Can Look For ward 10 Decade of
 Development

Heroer Hiiscner, free lance writer, well known in Alaska, is back in Juneau after six months of travel through Alaska that began with a projected tour of half that time.
 Hilscher. who won an infamous sort of fame for his Cosmopolitan story of last year labelling Alaska as a hungry mans paradise, proudly says he was made "dishonorable' member of the Nome Chamber of Commerce while in that city this summer.
 However ill received Hilscher's enthusiastic report of Alaska in Cos mopolitan may have been, Hilscher still maintains Alaskans can look forward to ten years of boom un- thought of.
 Dream of Parade
 Northwest Alaska has become Hilscher's newest dream of Terri torial paradise While taking in the Seward Peninsula -and-north coun- try this summer, Hilscher said he witnessed great mining develop ment" and promise" of much great CT activity to come.
 The Kougarok is good. Hilscher said, adding. Keep an eye on that country. It's coming"
 Biggest item of mining talk out that way these days is tin, Hilscher said.
 Tin Is Big Talk
 Cape York tin bids well to enter world markets in volume" Hilscher said. There has been a great deal of interest in the Seward Peninsula lodes this year with war cutting off normal foreign sources of supply, and everyone looks to swift devel- opment of Alaska tin"
 Coming north in June this year, Hilscher went down the Yukon, over the Alaska Railroad four times, over the Richardson Highway to Valdez, over the Steese Highway to Circle, and by plane and river boat to many of Alaska's Interior mining areas, including a trip to Nome and Point wherein lies the be- ginning of Hflscher's 1940 trail
 Fascinated with the northwest corner of Alaska, Hilscher and Rein deer Superintident Sydney Rood are going up the Noatak River and over into the Arctic, down the Colville and back to Barrow, planning to use dogs, reindeer, skin boats and plane to make the turn over which few white men have ever ventured.
 Results of Trip
 Results of this years trip for Hilscher, in addition to a number of feature stores including an article on Alaskas biggest business man, Capt. A. E. Lathrop, are, one; He found Chambers of Commerce didn't like his story in Cosmo, although they say it attracted a good deal of attention; two Alaska is on the first rung of the real boom ladder, Hil- scher is convinced, and three, he's | coming back in April of next year.
 While in Juneau for a week or so, Hilscher is at the Baranof Hotel and is planning to do story on Mary Joyce for one of the country's well known magazines.
