MANY TERRITORIES STUDIED
Constantly a student of bird life,
Dr. Wetmore lias made special stud
ies in the Salt Lake Valley, the Big
horn Basin in Wyoming, the pampas
of Argentina, the coast of Uruguay,
the sand dunes of Buenos Aires, and
many other vantage points through
out the western hemisphere. Dr.
Wetmore has written a book on the
migrations of birds, just published,
in which he sums up his personal
observations and correlates them
with the findings of ornithologists
for the past 200 years, with the re
sult that a number of misunderstand
ings concerning bird life are cleared
up.

Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working’ accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
