DANIELSrIn The Lions Den

A Let's o work together to organize tourist bu- reou hot will stress establishment of spring and Win ter trove season in Alaska, the Northwestern Cham Der of Commerce at Nome suggests. And in this writ ter's opinion, we think None's got something.
 We do invite visitors to the Territory ot time when can least accommodate them We urge, through Ieoets and advertising material, tnot tour ists the ond of the far north in the summer. Why should we. wonder?
 All of our advertising, much of our magazine mo- terio and our stories Outside make much of the
 lond of the ice and snow the long winter nights the froid winter temperatures and the wonderful Aurora BoTeoIis." And then invite company to come in 0 season when they can't possibly enjoy any of these turoI wonders
 Frankly, we can't see too much difference between Aosko in summertime and any of the Pacific north west country And certainly it would be quite bit cheaper, and possibly whole lot more comfortable for tourist to do his sightseeing there thon to make the long trek north just to look at more dusty roads ond to experience the bite of bigger mosquito We suspect thut the Pacific northwest variety of either would do equally as we'll.
 Certainly, our towns and cities take on much more pleasant appearance under winter blanket ot conceoInq snow. Our lack of garbage dumps, our overgrown dooYords and our general unkemPt oP- peoronce isn't nearly so evident in the wnter-trne.
 And for the purely tourist brand of visitor there's certainly lot more to do in the winter There's no huntinq it's true but then most of plain everyday tourists haven't the cash to put into nonresident hunting license and guides fees anyway. Ice fishing can be as much fun and is certainly much more novel, than the summer stream fishing. visit north in the winter would pre-supPose some skiing skating and snowshoe hiking, but can't think of many places where tourist could enjoy those sports in the summer Opportunities for the amateur photographer are un exceled the year round, but we think no one will deny tot our winter sunrses and sunsets top anything we ever seen.
 Then. too, the Opportunity for purely nnon-naode fun is confined mainly to winter and spring months We've jotted down just few items thot we thought of off=hond, which we feel visitors ought to hove an opportunity to enjoy Yet there isn't single one of these dffoirs hot occurs dter thon Moy The events we thought of include the Anchorage Eur Ren- dezvous, the Fairbanks Ice Carnival, :the Neaana bfeo<-up celebration, the Seward Pot4otch, .Aones foir, end PoIraer:s Colony Day. :. ~..:*
 We believe thot the ultimate bectye of every one of these offars to cultivate good will and stimulate business relationships. We con<t think we're doing such good job of either, if keep them all in the1 fomiY, so to speak: <.::
 Therefore, we recommend thot the Valley Cham Der of Commerce w1oIeheortedy support Nones plan. We think it's good idea, worthy of support. We're sorry someone in the Valley didn't think of first for feel the suggestion points out the fundo

Power Boat
 Order Stands

The Department of the h. terior will not change it's dec- laration of last year that will permit powered gill net boats to be used in Bristol Bay in 1851, Secretary Chapman has informed Delegate Bartlett.
 The Alaskan delegate had made continued requests that the department not recede from its 1850 regulation that power boats would be allowed in 1851.
 It is true," Chapman said 1, "that considerable opposition has developed in some quar- ters against the use of power ed fishing, boats and a surpris- ingly large number of Bristol Bay residents have taken this position at the urging and upon the advice of certain A. laska salmon industry repre- sentatives.'"
 
 He said that the regulation which prohibited the use of power was a conservation measure and could not be re- tained as such. He added that the present non-powered boats may still be used, if operators and fishermen so desire.
