TANANA VALLEY FAIR
REVELATION
After three days of record at
tendance and a show excelling
anything of the kind ever hither
to presented in Interior Alaska,
the Tanana Valley Fair closed
recently with a world of credit
due those who inspired and put
it over.
The fair fully demonstrated the
great economic possibilities of
this region, emphasized the fact
this is a land of varied pursuits,
cultural advantages and homes
capable of a sustained civiliza
tion and industry equal to that
of any pan of the world.
The fair has become an institu
tion which should be and doubt
less will be perpetuated, expand
ing and extending its influence
for progress from year to year.
The amazing display of veget
ables. small fruits, flowers and
other products of the soil convin
ces all keen observers that such
displays should not be confined
merely to this area.
Well prepared products of the
kind could and should be display
ed at such places as the San Fran
cisco Exposition, the New York
Exposition and in tourist agenc
ies and other centers of public
ity in the States.
Along with them should go
samples of the minerals, relief
maps and pictorial and other
data. Permanent displays of this
!sort in centers of continental
i America will go far toward
breaking down the prejudice and
misconception about Alaska'—
and that also goes for high offic
ial circles which have much to
do in shaping the future develop
ment policies touching the Terri
tory.
More power to the tireless lead
ers who made the fair the great
success it was this year—and
may they find a way for a bigger
and better , fair each year and
more adequate facilities for dis
playing the ever increasing vol
ume of exhibits and in caring
for the throng that is ever eager
to attend and lend support to
this annual insituition of the
Northland.—Fairbanks News-Mi
ner.

.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is l&de,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a plaeer claim. If both
a lode and a plaeer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.
