BCSKI • , * t ' Last week I wrote a more er less "comprehensive story about the trip Enjoyed by the Renichs and the Mo«h- Irs, together with more than two llundred members of the National Editorial Association via the S. S. Alee- #an from Seattle, Washington. *e Reward, Alaska, and retain. In that story I said nothing about Alaska. I only recited in brief some v>©jf the highlights of a most enjoyable ocean voyage covering about 2,168 miles each way and eytr rwfag «fer a «jperiod of fourteen day>. " ; This week I have promised mysett to tell my readers something about four days spent traveling via an Alaska Railroad train enreute from Reward, where we le^t the steamship, to Fairbanks and return. Last week I told you nothing about Alaska and as I approach my task ' tins week I am going to confess Alt 3t am not going to tell you very much ;'|jJ>out Alaska this week either, or in -the articles which are to follow. Indeed, the subject is so huge that it is impossible for me or any other prison to present more than a brief outfine, a few high spots of impressions gathered in the four short days spent mostly on a railroad train, traveling over the 500 miles from Seward north to Fairbanks and return. Before I made this trip I had only a vague idea o£ the size of Alaska and «,the variations of climate, terrain and either conditions. I spoke of its size and I now know that in total area it fe about ten to eleven tames the size of-the state of Illinois, or one fifth the si» of the United States. The climate varies likewise similar as the differences are here from the Canadian border south to Oklahoma. Mountain ranges spread over vast areas,"but there are also broad expanses of flat country, including fertile valleys between the mountains, lakes, rivers and sometimes huge ice fields called glaciers extending over vast areas. Throughout the southern part of Alaska, along the coast country, the otherwise cold climate is tempered by the warm breezes and waters of the Japan current, which, crossing the Pacific ocean, plays the same part on the west coast of North America as does s the Golf Stream in ttje North Atlantic ocean, which brings t# the northwestern countries of Europe |J>e blessings of a mild climate. Four days spent in the interior of Alaska was just enough to bring to jjie a realization of what a vast country I was visiting and how trifling ^would be afly attempt I might make to describe it. > . llnele Sam's Last Frontier In recent years we have all heard i _ • J iL ^ A- ASMA'C WrarikntfrthePlane^n^Which ? ,- WOT Bom i airtl WikyiFogf Lost Their Liv«HnMlaska ^ * • *?

Not at all, but to my mind, it -is the simple fact that there is so niuch that should be done which only the government can do, to open uji this country for settlement by the masses seeking opportunity to expand their own future.

This little town j or about midway between Seward and of 835 people was named in honor of, Fairbanks. We left Curry at 7:00 William H. Seward, who as Secretary of State arranged for the purchase Of Alaska from Russia in 1867. The town was established in 1902 by the builders of a projected railroad to tap the Matanuska coal fields, but after seventy-one miles of steel had beeft laid further construction work was abandoned. This old line was purchased by the government in 1915, when work began on the construction of the Alaska Railroad, which now extends from Seward to Fairbanks, a' distance of nearly 500 miles. We left Seward by special train at 7:30 a.m., on our trip to Fairbanks, arriving at Anchorage, 114 mil's north, at 12:15 noon, where we had lunch, Messrs. Mosher and Renich continuing later with the train at 1:30, while Mrs. Mosher and Mrs. Renich remained at Anchorage where they were entertained by friends. Between Seward and Anchorage the railroad passes over the Kenai chain of mountains, with the elevation varying from a few feet to over 1,000 feet at point called Grand View. At this point water flows into Kenai lake oit the south and Turnagain Arm on the north. A few miles farther north We aro'clock and arrived for the night at Mt. McKinley Park "hotel at about an e^rly start north in order to reach Fairbanks before noon. Railroading on the Alaska line Is different fr6tfi what we are used to in the states. Although the railroad, which our readers must remember, is operated by the government, has train schedules which it attempts to follow, still it is all planned to make you comfortable and not too much concern is given as to the time of departure or arrival. There are no dining cars or Pullmans. When meal time or night corhes, the train sto^s either at Curry or Mt. McKinley Park hotel, where excellent meals are served at reasonable prices. Likewise hotel rooms, with or without bath as you please. The general offices of the railroad line are at Anchorage, with O. F. Ohlson as general manager. I believe the railroad Is being well managed and is a most important factor in the development of Alaska's interior. I have heard some unkind remarks about a rough roadbed, but I did not .find this condition serious and I feel that th$ railroad has much to its credit, refused to clear up, although we waited about an hour.
