THE VALUE OF TOURISTS
In a recent speech in Vancouver, Hon. William Phil
lips, United States minister to Canada, made the rather
surprising statement that American tourists spent about
$260,000,000 in the Dominion last year.
These figures are interesting to Alaskans who are
slowly beginnig to realize the Value of tourists to the Ter
ritory. Alaska has been termed “a gianf Switzerland” and
it is true for here there is an all the year round appeal
for those who seek the joys of outdoor life.
There is no* doubt that thousands upon thousands
of Americans who now spend much time in Canada and
other foreign countries, would devote more attention to
Alaska if its attractions were better known throughout
the States.
Tourists are as much an asset as are industries.
THIS DELAY IS TERRIBLE !
We cannot help but believe, under the circumstances,
that were planes, missing anywhere but in Alaska,
relief expeditions would have been ordered out in search
long ago. Being Alaskans, that lets us out, we suppose
from the same humane treatment accorded other posses
sions of the U. S. A.
Too much time already has gone by without any word
from Pilots Merrill, Wien and Neinimen, and the Fox
Film party. Relief expeditions should have been sent out
one after another until not a dohbt existed as to their
safety or possible deaths
And unless they are found soon aviation in Alaska
will suffer a serious setback.
Give the boys a chance!*
As usual, we are having a lot of unusual weather
this month. •
It would be fine if wTe could confine all the loud speak
ers to the radio sets..
A scientist predicts many severe earthquakes for this
summer. Candidates would be satisfied with a few land
slides.
A free country is one in which everybody is free to
investigate his neighbor and find him guilty of something.
