Dr. Alfred H. Brooks and the mem
bers of the Alaska railway commission,
while en route to the Matanuska coal
fields, were guests at a banquet at Xeru
Creek on the Alaska Northern Railway
that was composed exclusively of Alas
kan prodacts, even to the wines. There
were eight kinds of vegetables, ail
grown in the garden at the Kern Creek
depot. Oysters were taken from Turn
again Arm, brook trout caught in Kern
creek and King Salmon taken from
Tarnagain Arm. The meat courses con
sisted of moose, mountain sheep, ptar
migan, grouse, wild ducks, mountain
goat. Wild raspberries and blueberries
furnished the fruits, and currant and
huckleberry wine rounded out the af
fair. Dr. Brooks said it set a new rec
ord in Alaskan dinners and went to
show the natural resources of the coun
try, and he offered the prediction that
with adequate transportation Alaska
would lead North Amerifca as a pro
ductive community.
