ST T T 7 S N A et FINE SEASON FOR ALASKA, ASSERTS KIRK Business Picture Brighl—j Roosevelt Gains n Strength Daily That Alaska faces one of the ' orightest seasons in history, is the belief of W. B. Kirk, wellknown Juneau property owner and retired merchant, who returned to his home here on the Northland. Al- is the talk of the Pacific | Coast, he said, and he predicts not only a heavy traffic North this season, but also the opening of new properties and new enterprises by new capital from the States. Mr. Kirk has been wintering in Wasnington and Oregon, having left Juneau with Mrs. Kirk last August. He plans to return to Seattle in six or seven weeks, to | return with Mrs. Kirk to make their home again in Juneau. Business Picture Bright The business picture is bright in the States, Mr. Kirk said, and, because of his personal connection and knowledge of various lines of business, he speaks with authority. “While there is no boom,” Mr. Kirk sald, “I have observed a de- cided increase in business since go- ing south last year. There is more money circulating, and since there were some 8,000 new income tax teports from the State of Washing- ton and Alaska alone, little of it comes from relief sources.” Roosevelt Popular Politically, Mr. Kirk said, Frank- lin D. Roosevelt is looming stronger and stronger as the people’s choice for reslection. “There is no one to compete with him,” Mr. Kirk said, “and his popularity has doubled since I first went to the States last August.” Mr. Kirk is the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. R. VanderLeest Before retiring from business, Mr. Kirk and Mr. VanderLeest were! associated in the Butler-Mauro Drug Company here. — e CONSTRUCTION WORK ACTIVE, ANCHORAGE, DECLARES COOPER Pronounced building activity in Anchorage for early this spring was commented on today by James C.
