Philip Bauer,| Douglas minister, who was a guest | of the Chamber today. He is an enthusiast about the country, and,, as a lecturer for several months covering the interior States of the country, he delivered hunderds of of | talks on the Territory and its nat- ural resources. “God has remembered Alaska with great natural resources and the most wonderful scencry in the world,” he declared. But there is a dense ignorance prevalent regard- ing the Territory throughout thel country; a false conception based on either lack of knowledge or on incorrect, inaccurate information from unreliable sources ' Rev. Bauer was for three years chaplain of the Oregon State Peni- tentiary. After that he spent two| years in a pastorate at Nome, fol- lowing which he represented his church on a tour of the States in the interest ‘of the Layman's| Missionary Movement.
