e — f D TAYLOR TELLS OF ROAD SHOW ALASKA BOOTH Describes Educational Dic- " play — Others Make Talks to Chamber The Alaska exhibit at the Good Roads Show staged in Cleveland Ohio, last month was educational and should result in increased travel to the Territory from the interest displayed by \those who visited it, declared Ike P. Taylor, principal speaker at the Chamber of Commerce today Mr aylor who is sistant engineer of the Alaska Road Commission, attend- ed the Show as Alaskan delegate. The .libit was entirely pictor- al, showing agricultural sectiong, scenery, mining industry and oth er Alaskan subjects They were tinted by M. D. Williams. The display attracted considerable at tention from visitors to the expo- sition and Mr. Taylor was kept busy answering questions regard- ing the Territory and its possi- The prize query, however, was: “Is Alaska owned by the United States or is it/ just a pro- tectorate?” Mr. Taylor also dis- tributed 5,000 pamphlets furnished him by the various chambers of commerce and steamship compan- ies. Seeks No Credit Major Malcolm Elliott, President of the Commission, told the Cham- ber that credit for Alaskan appro- priations in excess of sums recom- mended by the Bureau of Budget was due to Congressional commit- tees and individual members of the Senate and House and not to him- self. He said as an officer of the Government he could not “lob- by” for funds not approved in the budget, and that it was through the active interest of committees and members of Congr that amounts exceeding the budget al- jowances were made available. Post Oftice Errs It is mot an uncommon matter for private concerns, such as wholesale houses and railroads, to believe that Alaska is ice-bound in the winter months, that is not news. But when Uncle Sam’s em- ployees begin to spread abroad that kind of propaganda it is time to call a halt. So said Fred Sorri to the Chamber today Re- cently he ordered some tin foil for his famous “Alaska Dry” gin ger ale bottles from a big Chica- go house. On the latest mail he received a letter from the firm saying the parcel had been re- jected for parcel post shipment by the Chicago postoffice and in- formed the shipper that no parcels could be dispatched to Alaska be- fore next May. The Chamber will call this to the attention of the Postal authorities and suggest that post- offices be circularized regarding the Alaska postal service. Pass Two Resolutions The Chamber today passed two resolutions, one expressing its ap- preciation to Senator and Mrs. Lawrence C. Phipps for the activ- ity they have taken in Alaskan af- fairs. Senator Phipps was part- ly respomsible for the quick ac- tion taken on the Alaska capital building appropriation and aided Dr. Charles E. Bunnell in his work in Washington. Mrs. Phipps has scholarship at the tural College and ines. ond resolution urged o appropriate $50,000 for predatory amimal comtrol work in he Territory, and the Territorial Legislat to co-operate in that | work by making a suitable appro- | priation, New Air Service Gerald J. Smith, representing the International Airways, said that company will have planes ing between Seattle and Fairl itwo or three times weckly | the coming summer. |next 48 months or two years it i\\')ll make a survey between heré {and Anchorage and the Aleuti | Islands with ‘the view of ultimat ly establishing an aerial line he tween ‘Seattle and the Orient. Other visitors at the meeting| included BE. M. Axels 0.8 Commissioner at Y S. M. Quist, head of the Ketchi kan cable force Want Basketball Series The Chamber today received a cablegram from the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce urging it to intercede with the local High School authorities in arranging a series of basketball g Juneau and Petersburg teams. It said an offer made to Juneau to go to Wran gell with a guarantee, and another for serie: two here and Petersbu both of which wer cted. school nad beern four-game at two g, Supt. W. K. Keller said the school had rejected the offers be: cause for the past four teams had been traveling to towns in the southern end of the Division with no games here. In s0 doing it had been put to some expense not covered by the guarante2s and resulted in deficits in the Student Fund Treasury. It felt that this year, if Petersburg desired a geries, its team should come here. |He and Secretary Boyle were in- ‘s!ruciul to reply to the cablegram i New Pamphlet Issued | A mew and revised edition of the Chamber’s publicity pamphlet was |given to the Chamber today by M.
