‘ There is something wrong with
you publicity experts along the
Alaska Railroad Belt,” remarked
J. Morris Wistar, investment ban
ker of Philadelphia who passed
thru the city a few days ago. “No
one told me that the most im
pressive part of my scenic trip
through Alaska was going to be
found along the Alaska Railroad;
in McKinley National Park, and
between Seward and Anchorage.
I must admit it is surely the
grandest in the world and I have
seen just about all of the world
famous spots.”
Mr. Wistar. a snappy, energetic
and full of the old “pep” which
steams things along, regretted
his itinerary did not include, an
opportunity to view the grandeur
of the Katmai district and the
Aleutian Islands, but spoke en
thusiastically about his trip into
McKinley Park.
•Tn McKinley Park, Alaska has
something which is not reached
in comparison by Yellowstone,
Yosemite or the Rockies,” he said,
“and when the great roadway now
under construction is completed,
and the new hotel in there estab
lished. your tourist accomodations
are going to be taxed beyond thej
limit.”
He spoke in glowing terms of
J. L. Galen, head of the Park I
transportation service saying this:
company needed every encourage
ment and cooperation from the

j “I had heard quite a bit about

I a glimpse as our train stopped at
Lawing for a few minutes. I had

An ardent angler, Mr. Wistar
spent a few hours trolling in Res
urrection Bay, with Jack Pros
ser, and upon his return took
occasion to speak of the sport
as an enviable means that Sew
ardites have with which to enter
tain visiting sportsmen.
“It seems to me that some one
is overlooking a good bet in that
many anglers would gladly pay
$10 for a few hours trolling from
a good boat with first class rods
and reels, for salmon trolling with
light tackle is one of the meccas
of skilled ahgling.”
Recapitulating from the num
erous notes taken while the dis
tinguished eastern visitor was re
lating his impressions: He men
tioned that he did not get much
of a “kick” out of the Yukon riv
er journey and that when he re
turns he plans to come direct to
this section of the Territory. That
a modern hotel, or lodge, should
be built by the Lawings at their
present beautiful location at Law
ing for unlike the Atlin hotel
which is off the White Pass rail
road and which does a tremendous
business, Lawing and Lake Kenai
is directly on the Alaska Rail
road. And in this connection he
