 I'm not going to try to write story about those events. l know nothing about them, except what we heard back in those days and have since read in books. We have all seen many pictures on the screen supposed to tell the story of Alaska or the Klondike and the experiences of those days.
 Of course, when we went to AL aska on this trip I had some visions of those tough joints, gambling dens. dance halls with their faro games, wild women and two listed men which I supposed would find all most everywhere, but I must con- fess that I didn't find them any, where and that wasn't because l didn't look. They just aren't there any more.

Regardless of the financial losses now involved, believe that Uncle Sam should continue to spread out and operate in Alaska until that Territory has had a chance to de- velop into a prosperous future. Fiji nancially it has already indirectly repaid many times over every dollar that has been invested there.
 When the immense area of Alaska is considered it's roads and trails are indeed sparse and inadequate. It has been said that darkest Af- rica" with it's vast uninhabited areas, has only one district with less roads per square mile than Alaska.

 We had been brought down the road that ran close to the sea in many spots. It wound it's way around lodges, at the foot of high cliffs, and sometimes across picturesque bridges and through verdant vege- tation. The road was graveled al- ways where it was not paved. Leav- ing the valley of the Mendenhall glacier we were taken through mountain passes and returned over an entirely different route. We pass ed through beautiful parks nestling at the feet of mountains, over grassy lands that looked like Iowa mead ows, and into picturesque portions of the coast.

 Four days spent in the interior of Alaska was just enough to bring to me a realization of what a vast country I was visiting and how trifling would be any attempt l might make to describe it.
 In recent years we have all heard more or less said that Uncle Sans new and untamed frontiers are all gone. For 15O years this country was spreading out westward from the Atlantic to the. Pacific Coast and we are now being told that there are no more new Ian d S to conquer. Until my recent trip to Alaska I agreed with this thought, but I have changed my mind. There is a vast country to our northwest which has room for. millions of American people therein to live free, happy and prosperous lives. Much can be done to advance this objec- tive whenever our government un- dertakes to carry out properly conceived plan for the economic de- velopment of this empire.
 Should Be Opened Up
 It is not the cold that is holding back Alaskas growth and develop ment Not at all, but to my mind, it is the simple fact that there is so much that should be done which only the government can do. to open up this country for settlement by the masses seeking opportunity to expand their own future.
 Alaska needs hundreds of miles of passable motor roads which only the government can build. To my mind. this is only the first step Of a comprehensive program which should also include cheap hydro electric power. encouragement and development of Alaska's vast agri-

why they didn't put tar on the road and he said he didn't know. Said that proposition had been big dis cussion for years.
 And you should see the thousands and thousands of small round stones lying around where the glacier has receded. That's where I loaded my pockets. Sure, I wanted 'em for souvenirs. And I didn't throw 'em away, either; I shipped 'em home.
 Pickle Grader
 "Then, when the ore is crushed to powder, it is run out on what they call tables and is carried along by water. I can't properly explain this thing to you, but the table is constantly moving back and forth, washing the ore down to the lowest end. In other words, it is like the grader at the pickle plant = only different"

largest city in Alaska is about Una same size as Woodstock
 Like most cities located on the water front, its Streets rise up on a steep grade from the shore back, while each cross street is about three stories higher than the one below. Those of my readers who have yis- tied Seattle will know what I mean; yes, even if you have been no far- ther than Galena, Illinois, you will understand.
 In discussing these cities, both those we visited and those we did not, it should be stressed that cities in Alaska in general are not unlike cities in any part of America, under similar circumstances. They are truly American cities, inhabited by Amer ican people, and these cities have all or most all of the types of insti- tutions that are common in the States generally, especially in our cities along the Pacific Coast, from where large share of the people in Alaska have migrated.
 This means that there are church- es, lodges, hotels, taXis, water and sewage systems. electric light and power, telephones, newspapers. ra- dios and all kinds of business houses and residences just as we have them all around Us. The only point is they are fewer and farther apart.
 I have been asked many times about Nome--well. I only answer that we did not visit Nome and at once my questioner looks at me strangely as much as to say: How could you emit Nome from the cities you visited?"
 have heard Nome referred to ever since heard anything about Alaska, and it is only natural that people should wonder why we did not visit Nome as we'll as Fair banks, Skagway. Sitka, and other Alaskan towns whose names are fa- miliar to us all
 The answer is, of course, very simple as soon as can explain where Nome is located. far to the western coast, and perhaps a thou sand miles by water beyond Seward, the farthest point west we traveled by boat.
 Nome can be reached by steamer from Seward or by airplane from Fairbanks, but tourists do not visit Nome because it is too far distant for what it has to attract them.
 A Juneau citizen did not speak we'll of the winters at Nome. No body stays there in winter, it's too d- cold. Even God goes out on the last boat" was his com Spapt
