ALASKA
In the pure air of Alaska,
Where the sea and mountains
meet,
And the snow and blue-white
glaciers,
Are untouched by summer s heat.
There’s a surcease from life’s
errors,
And a peace within the soul.
For such glorious gifts of beauty
Lift the spirit to its goal.
There are crags and foaming
torrents,
Broad lakes of jade and blue,
Sharp peaks that pierce the
heavens,
Pointing to the good and true.
Grey wreathes of mist surround
them.
Dark with rain and thunder
cloud,
Or again with films of gossamer
Their opal sides enshroud.
There are beasts and birds and
fishes,
And the fertile valleys green.
Are filled with ranch and home
steads,
Where fair gardens grow be
tween.
Everything that lives and blos
soms
In this land of magic lights,
Seems sweeter, brighter, lovelier,
And to the senses bring delight.
Wealth untold is still in hiding,
’Neath the rock-ribbed moun
tain side;
Great forest depths primeval,
Where the unknown still abides.
Like the north of all-true beauty
This alludes the pen of men;
Only sight and heart can reach
it.
See Alaska if you can!
—May Rogers Wadleigh.
August 15, 1931.
ROAD PASSABLE
Despite recent floods the Rich
ardson highway is easily passable,
according to the Fairbanks News
Miner. A few of the small bridges
are out but the water is low again
and autos can cross streams with
out assistance. Only at Jarvis (
creek, where a good part of the j
bridge was taken out by the flood, i
is it necessary to be towed across. I
Mining men from the States are |
drilling on Eureka Creek, in the!
Fairbanks district, according to
the News-Miner. If values are
found they expect to take the
creek over and one or more dredges
and hydraulic equipment would
be installed.

WILL REMAIN IN CORDOVA )
E. A. Rasmusson, president of
the Bank of Alaska, with branch
banks in Skagway, Wrangell, Cor
dova and Anchorage, arrived in
Cordova recently to take charge,
for the time being at least, of the
affairs of the Cordova branch, his
presence being made necessary due
to the recent and tragic death of
Thomas S. Scott, a vice-present
of the Bank of Alaska, and man
!
ager of the Cordova unit. Com
menting on his plans for the im
mediate future, Mr. Rasmusson
said that he probably would re
main in Cordova for the greater
part of the winter and had writ
ten Mrs. Rasmusson and their son,
Elmer, to come North, says the
Times.

Nanana Valley Fair Association
will be held this month, accord

"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!"
The finest to
bacco quality
plus throat
protection.
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 pro
duces them, contain harsh irritants. LUCKY
STRIKE’S exclusive "TOASTING” Process
—a process that mellows, that purifies, that
includes the use of the modem Ultra Violet
Ray—expels certain harsh irritants naturally
present in every tobacco leaf. We sell these
expelled irritants to manufacturers of
chemical compounds, 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 can9t he inl" No wonder
LUCKIES are always kind to your throat.
