TAKES RIPLEY TASK
DEFENCE OF ALASKA
. | To Alaskans! Ripley got my
•1 goat when he stated in one of his
|“Believe it or not” cartoons: “The
|; nearest country to tropical Hawaii
| is bleak Alaska,” so I wrote him.
’! Here’s the letter I wrote:
. Dear Mr. Ripley:
r i I read you and admire you and
; consider your statements as being
authentic. But sometimes you
blunder, a few instances of which'
I know, and I now take issue with
you for a statement you made in
a recent cartoon to the effect
that “The nearest country to
tropical Hawaii is bleak Alaska.”
I think you have done Alaska a
| great injustice by referring to it
as you have with the term “bleak,”
which implies being barren.
I have been to Alaska four times
and for the past eight or 10 years
have read, studied and written
about Alaska in addition to my
travels in various portions arid

would state that the adjective
you have used is quite unfair
There are some parts of its coasl
line that are barren and bleak
just as parts of the coast line ir
every state in the Union border
ing the oceans. /
Just as you have used that term
generally to apply to Alaska, 1
can state that generally speak
ing, Alaska is rich in vegetation
and the forests in Southeast Al
aska are as dense as in the trop
ics. This is due to the abundant
rainfall, warmth from the Jap
anese current, and long hours of
sunlight. In summer it is pleasant
ly warm and in winter in por
tions of Alaska it is no colder
than in Denver, Colo., Washing
ton, D. c., Winnipeg, Can., and
other points, but of course, the
time of the year and the place
has a bearing since Alaska is an
enormous country, one-fifth the
size of the United States.
You would be amazed at the
vegetation, the enormous sized
vegetables that are grown, the
beautiful colored flowers, the agri
cultural opportunities, the friend
liness of the natives and true
Alaskans who have gone there
from various parts of our country
and other countries, and if you
would but travel there, you would
soon change your thoughts of
“bleak Alaska.”
Why not visit that country for
facts that will amaze you? You
would return with a far better in
sight—“Believe it or not.”
I have not endeavored to t be
the official spokesman for Alaska
but having been to Alaska four
times, having served a number of
Chambers of Commerce, High
ways, Hotels and individuals, ad
vertisingly, and having written
considerable about Alaska, I am
very much interested in my
“adopted country,” and it riles
me to have anyone make a mis
leading statement about it.
Showing that my efforts have
not been in vain, a recent press
bulletin from Washington, stated
as follows:
Leo P. Bott, Jr., of Little Rock,
Ark., has been to Alaska several
times and is an enthusiast on the
Northland, having induced many
.0111 ists to enjoy the incompara
ble delights of this scenic excur
sion. Evidence of his activity are
apparent in Washington, with the j
