CAMPBELLS RETURN FROM
VISIT TO THE STATES
Mr. and Mrs. George M. Campbell
returned to Anchorage late yesterday
afternoon, coming over the trail from
Seward with Vic Olson. Mr. Camp -
bell is the advance guard of the An
chorage boosters who spent the past
few months in the states advertising
the wonderful resources of Anchorage
and vicinity. He is glad to get back
to Anchorage and is fairly bubbling
over with great and glorious reports
of the future possibilities of his adopt
ed city. Mr. Campbell joined Mrs.
Campbell, who preceded him by sev
eral weeks, at Omaha, where they
spent the holidays with Mrs. Camp
bell’s family and where they both
have many friends.
Later they took a trip through
southern Arizona visiting friends en
route and spent several weeks in Los
Angeles, from which point they mo
tored to the many different points of
interest adjacent to the tourist city.
That the “Campbells were Coming”
was heralded from San Francisco
where they sojourned only a few days,
continuing their journey to Seattle on
their way to Anchorage.
Mr. Campbell says that financial
conditons in the middle west were
never better but that the high cost of
living is also being felt. He lays the
exceptional prosperity to the advanced
price in foodstuffs and the flourishing
condition of the country in general
as a result of increased demands for
American manufactured articles.
On the trip he met several old Alas
ka friends who, without an exception,
say that they expect to return to An
chorage and Mr. Campbell said it was
reaj 1 y.j;r«markab 1 e in regard to thn
publicity that Anchorage has received.
At every stop he was approached by
many people desiring information
about this country and especially was
this tbue in regard to the moneyed
class Who are looking for investments.
Like others who have recently re
turned from the states Mr. Campbell
sincerely believes that Anchorage and
vicinity is on the verge of permanent
prosperity and that, in the main, the
confidence is being based on the surety
of the government railroad with An
chorage as the base of supplies and
operations. And, too, he said, that
the mining industry of Willow Creek,
Broad Pass and contiguous districts
was common talk and he looks for in
creasedjactivity in this Jine ,as well as
a a in flit* pf homesteaders to take ad
