ALASKAN'S URGKD
TO MARK KXUllilT
Alaskan newspapers are giving
much favorable comment on the in
vitation issued by J. L McPherson,
manager of the Alaska bureau of the
Chamber of Commerce for Alaska, to
participate in the Northwest Land
Products exposition, to be 1 • Id in
Seattle October 4 to 14. and the most
complete display of Alaskan products
ever assembled is expected to result
from the interest being shown.
The Anchorage Daily Times, the
Seward Gateway, the Daily Alaskan,
of Skagway; the Daily Ala>ka Pl>
patch, of Juneau, and the Ketchikan
lVugressive Miner are among the A1
askan new papers whose editorial com
ments on the proposed Alaskan ex
hibit have been received by the bu
reau. Under the heading, "Strong on
Exposition," the Ketchikan Progres
sive Miner says:
“The Seattle people are great on
exposition." Of that there need nof
be any doubt, because they have
proven themselves so. They are
bound to expose. It s a good thing,
too, as an exposition is attractive,
therefore brings in the curious, among
whom are likely to Ik* found some v ho
will stick to the expositions vicinty
and increase the population o* Seat
tle; and that is all the people of that
enterprising city want—population.
With a large number of people, trade
increases ami prosperity follows—ami
there you are. Being wise to the
value of expositions, they have plan
ned to expose some more in the fall, |
an announcement of which appeared
in yesterday’s issue.
“Alaskans should take advantage of
the offer made by the Alaska bureau
of the Chamber of Commerce and
send exhibits. The tirs? part of
October is the right time for garden
truck and mineral exhibits. At that
time whatever our gardens have pro
duced is in. Likewise the miners are
about reaily to return to their winter
quarters. If we want to settle the
country we should expose to the
world what we can get out of the
country, and since the opportunity is
offered b\ all means let us take it and
expose. Let the gardeners and miners
join with the exhibitors of the state.
We need not be ashamed of what we
! grow. Products from Alaska compare
favorably with any of the Western
states. Besides, we may acquire the
j habit of exposing, an attractive ele
ment in itself, anil as such well worth
cultivating. Particularly in Alaska,
where we have so much more to ex
pose than we have to hide, having in
mind the size of the country. 1* rom
that we can see an opportunity ahead
and to give credit wnere credit is due,
we must say that the Seattle people
are trying to help us. even though by
doing so they help themselves.”
The Anchorage Daily Times says:
“The Seattle bureau of the Chamber
of Commerce has been assigned the
direction of an exhibit of Alaska s re
sources at the Northwest Land Prod

ucts exposition to be held in Seattle
on October 4 to 14, and Manager J. L.
McPherson has written Anchorage to
secure a comprehensive exhibit of the

an opportunity that should be em

will in part tell of Alaska’s great
wealth.
“Here is a chance for a little pub

The steamship companies have gener
ously agreed to furnish free transpor

close of the exposition the Alaska bu
reau would like to have the use ol the
