But despite the rear of enlightening information that has been dissemi- nated about the Territory the fauacy ot other days pergists. Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Dimond, writing the Progress and Development Edition of The Empire, says the hardest task he has in Washington is convineing people Alaska is not still the fabled Sew- ard Icebox. Even members of Congress and gov- ernment officials, he points out, are not adequately conversant with actual conditions in the North. A dispatch to The Empire from the States on the trip of the “Alaska Nuggets” reveals that one Oregon girl was surprised that the Juneau Better Times Contest winners were not attired in parkas and muk- luks and another one commented on the fact that the Alaska girls spoke “our language as fluently as we do.” That may be an extreme example, but the fact remains that the ignorance in the Outside world relative to Alaska is little short of astounding.

Less glamorous facts fail to impress. Many Alaskans have done much in publicizing the Territory, and are doing it. Others on the outside such as Rex Beach, Corey Ford and Father Hubbard, to mention just a few of the better known, have done their share and more in presenting the true picture of the North. But still there is much room tor mis sionary work in educating the world about Alaska. Some years ago Oregon began an extensive cam- paign to make known the Oregon country and bring people to the West Coast.
