PROMINENT NEW YORKERS ENJOYI ALASKAN TRIP Mr. and M Stephen Baker,! of New York City, who are south-/ bound passengers aboard the steam- er Aleutian, are among the Lum'th" delighted with the scenic grand- eur of the Inside Passage and the Golden Belt tour.

McKinley National Park, and | returned to Cordova where they boarded the Aleutian by way of the Richardson Highway and the Cop- per River and Northwestern Rail- way. Intending to make a daylight trip to the Pacific Coast over the Great Northern Railway, of which he is a director, Mr. Baker and his wife decided in Seattle to make a short trip to Alaska and were extremely pleased that they had done so. “The beauty of the coun- try is nearly beyond belief and there is no finer scenery anywhere than that found in the lovely In- side Passage,” Mr. Baker said. Mr. and Mrs. Baker stopped in Chicago on their way west, to visit the Century of Progress EX-| position and from there traveled in a special train to Chicago Na- tional Park where they spent about two weeks. One of the most ex- citing events of their trip was a forest fire which in thej| park during their stay e.

The Bank of the Manhattan Com- pany is the oldest bank in the United States still operating un- der its original charter, and was established by Aaron Burr in the al late eighteenth century, Mr. Ba- ker declared. — e+ — PILOT’S WIFE GOES SOUTH Mrs. Ed Young, wife of the Chief Pilot of the Pacific-Alaska Airways, Jeft Juneau for Seattle on the| Aleutian. —_—eee— TAXES NOW DUE The City Council has fixed the tax levy rate for 1933 at 18 mills per dollar of assessed valuation.
