HISTORIC SITKA CISTS
SPELL ON IIISITINC
IDAHO CONCOESSIN
“Sitka is one of the most inter
esting attractions of the North
land, and lam surprised that more
is not done to bring this historic
city with her enthalling annals of
Russian occupation and American;
sovereignty and her sui passing
scenic grandeurs to the attention
of visitors,” declared Addison T.
Smith Republican Representative
in Congress, whose home is in
Twin Falls, Idaho, according to
the Juneau Empire.
He came north with the Con
gressional party that voyaged on
the steamship Yukon and the
Coast Guard cutter Tahoe. He
stayed around Juneau instead of
taking the trip to Seward and
Fairbanks.
“I am greatly impressed by Sit
ka's historic and scenic advan
tages. The city is well worth a
visit of several days by any tour
ist, and more should be done to
bring the ancient capital of the
Territory to the attention of trav
elers.
“Indeed, I marvel at the condi
tions existing in Alaska and her
rich and varied resources. The
mild delightful climate is surpris
ing, and of course, the scenery is
quite unrivalled by anything any
where else in the world. Fish
eries and fur yield rich returns,
which -will increase rather than
diminish in the future, and for
estry wealth is incalculable. Gold
mining has attained considerable
development, but present results
in this region are small to what
they are sure to be in the future.
“Every Congressman and Senator
should come to Alaska. Federal
lawmakers should make themselves
acquainted with this great Terri
tory and then they would be
more capable and more willing to
cooperate in its development.
“The annual deficit of the Alas
ka Railroad makes some of the
Federal lawmakers nervous, but I i
do not think that the system j
should be disposed of or its serv- |
ice curtailed to the detriment of J
the development of the country, j
“The crying need of Alaska is
air mail. To wait three or four
days for letters from the States
is a disadvantage that is archaic
in view of late aerial develop
ment, and this terrible fault should
be remedied by the Federal govern
ment at once.
“Establishment of air mail serv
ice in the North will help busi
ness not only in this Territory but
also in the States.
“I believe Congress should be
more generous than it has been
in dealing with Alaska’s require
ments.”

ALASKA JUNEAU WILL
PROSPECT BARITE CLAIM
A contract has been let by the j
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com- i
pany to Lynch Brothers, diamond
drillers, to prospect a barite prop
erty owned by the company in
Duncan Canal, it was made known
in Juneau by P. R. Bradley, con
sulting engineer. The work will
j start there in the near future, 5
says the Juneau Empire.
Pat Lynch, member of the drill
ing concern, was there several
days ago conferring with Mr.
Bradley about the project. He
left recently for his headquarters
to assemble equipment and sup
I plies for immediate shipment to
the ground.
Barite is coming into a wider i
use in recent months than ever i
before and there is a growing de- j
mand for it, Mr. Bradley said. It!
is used in large amounts in oil
.drilling operations among other
things.
“We have had some inquiries
about the Duncan Canal property,
which is an old one and was
patented years ago,” Mr. Bradley
said. “We are having it pros
pected to determine the extent of
the deposit and to see whether
we desire to operate it ourselves
or lease it to other interested
parties.”

"TOASTING" expels
SHEEP-DIP BASE naturally
(Black, biting, harsh irritant chemicals)
present in every tobacco leaf
"They're out
so they can't
be in!"
Every LUCKY STRIKE is made
of the finest tobacco leaves the world can
offer—the finest from Turkey—the finest
from Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Georgia
and the Carolinas—the Cream of many
Crops throughout the world. But all tobacco
leaves, regardless of price and kind, as
nature produces them, contain harsh
irritants. LUCKY STRIKE’S exclusive
"TOASTING” Process—a process that
mellows, that purifies, that includes the use
of the modern Ultra Violet Ray—expels
certain harsh irritants naturally present in
every tobacco leaf. We sell these expelled
irritants to manufacturers of chemical com
pounds, who use them as a base in making
sheep-dip*, as well as a powerful spraying
solution for fruits, flowers and shrubs—
enough to permit the daily dipping of over
50,000 sheep or the daily spraying of many
thousands of trees. Thus,you are sure these
irritants, naturally present in all tobacco
leaves, are not in your LUCKY STRIKE.
“They’re out—so they can't be in 1” No wonder
LUCKIES are always kind to your throat.
