A TOURISTS PARADISE
It is with pleasure one views the effort of the man
agement of the Alaska Railroad in stimulating tourist
travel to Alaska, such as the proposed added facilities
at McKinley Park and at such other places as may be
deemed necessary in the future.
But it does seem that the management is overlook
ing one of the best—if not the best—tourist sites on the
....entire railroad: one which to the casual observer, could
be developed easilv, with no great outlay of money. The
place referred to is in the Tunnel vicinity; if not at Tun-;
nel itself.
Tunnel (this should be changed to a typical Alaskan
name) is more easilv described than 90 percent of other
scenic snc+s in the Territorv; nothing has to be left to
the imagination for the attractions in that particular
locality embra^p iu*t about evervthing one could
hone to see or find, from an buting and scenic stand
point. A tourist lodo-e in that locality would not harm
or convict with other places along tlm line but, in our
estimation, would material increase other businesses of
similar character.
At Mile ^8 the train is stopped so that passengers
mav view, what hundreds have said, the most wonder
ful soen° on the railroad; it is one of those beautv
snots which mnsf he visited in order to have a full ap
preciation of Nature’s handiwork. Glaciers, cataracks,
towering cliffs, °now capped peaks, wooded hills, tink
inn waterfalls, flower-strewn valleys, the magnificent
panorama of wide vista* and the marvelous piece of
railroad construction “The Loop” known throughout
the Nation. Add to these, fishing, hunting, exploring and
mountain climbing, and one has a brief word-picture
of the possibilities to be developed.
All the romance of early dav construction is cen
tered around Tunnel and the tourists, or visitor, would
never .cease to marvel how the many physical difficul-!
ties were overcome and how one of the most aggravating
of engineering problems was finally worked out.
And last, but. not least, this tourist haven would be
an excellent antidote for those who might be weary in
mind and heart; on the one side there w^ld be the!
inspiration of roaring cataracts *nd wr4-*-L:om j
dizzv heights; from the other the soothing v"” ;c of
sparkling streams. From high on the mountain .top!
the whistler sends his call of cheer and—but let the poet
describe this superb scenic spot in the heart of the rug
ged mountains:—
Lovers would wander here and yonder
Hither poets would dream
Life’s old questions, fond suggestions,
Whence and wither throng thy streams.
Good towns are built from within. That is, pro-1
vided they have the stuff within to build a good town.
DIMOND, DUNN AND HESS
Dimond, Dunn and Hess, the “Three Horsemen” of
the past legislature, certainly threw a monkey-wrench
into the delegate’s clan machinery. The “rule or ruin” !
attitude of the delegate and his cohorts almost cracked j
their ivory skulls in clashing with Dimond, Dunn and |
Hess. That combination of names roll off the tongue j
with ease and seems to have a soothing effect. Dimond,
Dunn and Hess. More power to them, and to those who j
lent their support to them. j
Those who have never seen a geyser may form a fair
idea of one by pushing in a milk bottle top with the
thumb.
A bill to abolish kissing in public would simply *make
matters worse. For isn’t that about the only place some
husbands kiss their wives?
STOLE AIRPLANE PHOTS
BUILT SEVEN PLANES
SAN DIEGO, Calif., May 3, (£>)—
Mysterious disappearance of na
val aircraft parts from the local
station is believed to have been
cleared up by the indictment of
two navy men, two garage opera
tors and one woman.
Seven planes were assembled
from the parts and sold to the
Mexican federal or rebel forces.
BECOMING SOBER
LONDON, May 4, (/P)—Piecing to
gether the government’s replies to
questions in parliament it is reveal
ed that England is gradually be
coming more temperate in the con
sumption of liquor without disor
der. Wine consumption in 1928 was
20 percent less than in 1927.
ECHO FAVORABLE
GENEVA, May 3, (/P)—'The Ger
man proposal that aerial attacks be
completely eliminated as an instru
ment of war was rejected by the
preparatory commission. Halls of
the conference still carry the echo
of comment on Mr. Gibson’s pro
posal, and mod of the comments
are very favorable.
