ALASKA GIVEN | PUBLICITY AT | & ROAD EXHIBIT Display of Pictures At-| tracts Much Attention, Says Local Delegate | The Annual Good Roads Show | and Machinery Expositon held at| Cleveland, Ohio, last month re-| sulted in considerable publicity | of an educational nature for Al aska, according to Ike P. Taylor, Territorial Delegate to the Show who, with Mrs. Taylor and their two children, returned home ea this week after an absence of| two and one-half months, | At the Cleveland exposition, | Mr. Taylor arranged for and was in charge of an Alaskan display, | made up of hand-colored pictures | of Alaskan industries, scenes, | roads, highw and trails and | other subjects. Thousands of peo-| ple visited the bcoth and were given educational literature put out by the several Chambers of | Commerce in the Territory and | transportation lines operating in | local water: It was estimated that 150,000 people attended the Show in the four-day session, January 15-18 Many of these called at the booth. Much interest was shown by them in pictures of growing crops, and in a weather chart showing comparative tempera- turee. That the average temper- | ature in Juneau was warmer than that of Cleveland was' the cause of much astonished comment. Mr. Taylor said it was so cold in Cleveland he almost froze. Leaving here in November, the Taylors went to Boise, Idaho, vis- iting Mr. Taylor's family, from there to California for an extend- ed tour and then back to Boise for the holidays. Later Mr. Tay- lor went to Missouri, visiting Col. J. C. Gotwals in St. Louis, then to Cleveland, and Washington, D. C., and back to Boise. En- route home they visited friends in Seattle. AUTOISTS URGED TO LIMIT TRAVEL OVER HIGHWAY FOR TIME A plea to local automobile own- ers to limit the use cf Glacier Highway to actual nec travel during the “break-up” period was made today by the| U. S. Bureau of Public Roads which pointed out that recent “soft” weather had left the road surface in a pot-holed condition. Excessive use of it at this time, it was added, will result in break- ing through the thawed surface and do material damage to the road which would delay getting it into shape for the heavy sum- mer traffic. Owing to the softened condi- tion of the road, it is now im- possible to make repairs to dam- aged sections as loaded trucks cannot be driven over it. Until conditions are such that trucks can be used, or another freeze stiffens the ground, motor car owners are asked to limit pleas-| ure driving. This, the Bureau said, would be of service to those who are compelled by business to use the highway at all times. e Commercial job printing at The | Empire, [ PSSR, STATIONERY SPECIAL One-Third Off Fancy and plain, for men, women, and children.

Mr. Forss is one of the old- est members of the order, being 84 years of age. His home is in Ketchikan. Also aboard the ship was Mrs Patrick Gildea, Grand Trustee of the Pioneer Auxiliary of Ketchi- kan, going to Cordova to attend the convention of the Woman's Auxiliary. Several important matters are to come up before the Grand Igloo for consideration. The elegibil- ity of prospective members is to be considered. A movement was started sometime abo that would make it possible for anycne who came to the Territory before 1910 to join the Pioneers. It is thought that this by-law of the order will be passed upon. From all over the Territory there will be members of the Pio- neers attending the Igloo. TUROFFS RETURN TO JUNEAU FROM STATES L. W. Turoff, engineer attached to the local U. S.
