mended as the solution to the problem. Each said that if they could sell one particular product at fixed price, it would remove all worry and uncertainty, and enable them to be successful. A farmer is d great experimentalist and would expand into other pro- ducts, planting only so much of the staple as to insure a good living, thus providing diversified crops.
 In selecting the income product it would be we'll to choose one that can be stored indefinitely without deterioration so that can ming or refining could be done when most convenient-the idea is to have winter industry to provide labor when it is most needed. The technical operation of the project should be under the Alaska Agricultural College
 TOURISTS
 The train schedule. the chang es and additions to rolling stock, the proposed new river steamer. gives evidence that the desire to increase tourist travel is the con- trolling factor of present policies. This is, no doubt. an effort to in crease the revenue. BUT ANY EXPENDITURE WHATSOEVER. SOLELY FOR THIS PURPOSE, IS A WASTE AT THIS TIME and WITHOUT GOOD RESULTS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ALAS KA. Strict tourist travel does not now, and never has, stimulated or helped the development of country'S internal resources. Small European States are very greatly helped financially by tourist trav- el. but the inhabitants are chang cd from industrial workers to the status of personal servants. Ala kans are not at all type of har- dy frontiersman whose instinct and pleasure is to heW home and living from a new country This is the last frontier. yes. but most of the inhabitants are cos mopolitan city folks, with the one idea of making money with the least effort If, therefore, this country should gain enough tourist travel to provide Alaskans with more of an income than they could get. at first. from the development of the resources, IT WILL RETARD GROWTH. and turn the population into bunch of servers.

greater expectations of pleasure and beauties to be seen, than A. laska can fulfill. They are not seasoned travellers, and so the length of the trip, combined with the unfulfilled expectations, make THE MAJORITY OF THEM DIS CREDIT THE COUNTRY AND EVERYTHING IN IT..
 I believe this knocking to be one of the main reasons for the great slump in tourist travel this season. Especially is this true of those making the trip down the Yukon River, and out this way to the states. That trip is both tiresome and uninteresing nine tenth of the distance. For the good of Alaska it should be dis couraged. The only one that should be encouraged at present is the round trip from Seattle to Anchorage, or at furtherest to Mt. Mckinley National Park.
 For the best interests of the railroad belt, all passenger carry ing trains should leave Seward not earlier than 10 o'clock A. M. the DAY FOLLOWING the arriv- al of the passenger steamer, stop ping at Anchorage overnight and proceeding the next day to Fair banks. Southbound, leaving Fair banks in the morning, stopping overnight at Anchorage. leaving there at l PM. or so, arriving in Seward in the EVENING BE- FORE BOAT DAY.
 (So as soon as the Curry Hotel is moved to Mt Mckinley Park station, or a new one built. it would be good to stop three ov- ernight also) That would give leisure in Anchorage and Seward, ading considerable business to both, It would bring the south- bound tourists over this scenic section after they had a good nights rest at Anchorage putting them in a better frame of mind on leaving this part of Alaska. Complaint that lack of hotel ac- commodations would work a hard ship if this were done is not true. So far as I have been able to learn, the hotels in Seward have been full but twice in the last three years.
 The one valid argument of in- terior people against this proposed schedule is that the delay of q day in Seward keeps them wait ing for mail, and is detrimental to perishable shipments, fresh fruits and vegetables). The com plaint of an extra day in mail transit is farfetched, for in the old days when it took three weeks to deliver mail to Fair banks they were happy and con- tent when it was cut down to two. The other objection can be met by equipping the cold stor- age cars with freezing apparatus. to make them equal in this re- spect to the boats. But if that proved unsatisfactory. then one of the large gas combinations
