Farr, who with their son Hollon, are stopping at the Gastinzau for a week, believe that Alaska does not get enough of the right kind of publicity in the Eastern states. Dr. Farr says that he came al- most expecting Eskimos and dog teams, and that he is agreeahly surpriséd by what he has seen. Hearing from friends who had been in Alaska, somefhing of its character, the Farrs added a trip here to an extensive tour of the states which included the World's Fair, Los Angeles, Agua Caliente, the Redwood Highway and Mount Rainier. | They have been much impressed with the scenic wonders of Al- aska. The abundafce of fish ‘and game is a source of wonderment| to them. Taku Glacier, White- horse rapids, Rainier National Park and the California Redwoods are the outstanding lights of their long tour, according to Mr. Farr, giving Alaska two of the thrillers.| The Farrs will leave in & few| days for Sitka, Campbell River in/ British Columbia, Lake Louise and, home to New York.
