COGITATIONS
Alaska is the most scenically beautiful country in
the world. Not only in daytime but at night!
The majestic solitude of our Alaska evenings and
nights; the magic of the stars spangling the clear sky
with a million specks of quivering light. Against the
jeweled robe of the Northern heavens, jagged moun
tain peaks assume a mystery which only the light of
day can dispell.
************
But, from the sublime and not exactly to the ri
diculous either, Alaska is likewise the most politically
cursed country in the world.
************
May these visiting Congressmen become imbued
with some of our tangible Northern atmosphere, our
scenic wonders, dormant resources and “what have
you?” so that when they return home and Alaska prob
lems and appropriations come up, they will sign on the
dotted line with no hesitation. We don’t want much;
just striving to reach and become worthy to join those
stars in Old Glory.

is stated this visit will not be a political picnic, that they
are coming North to become intimate with Alaska af
fairs; coming as friends. What a wonderful thing if
Alaskans could once more feel the thrill of progress as
a direct result of this visit. But perhaps it is too much
to hope for.
