L. McGovern of the Seattle Chamber the Foster of Commerce, speaking here at local chamber luncheon yesterday, stated that Seattle estimates its annual tourist business conservatively at $12,000,000. A lot of money in any language. | Significant for Alaska in tnat statement is the fact that a good percentage of the people who con- tribute to that monster industry come to Alaska or| would like to come here in the future when their| plans work out. As Mr, McGovern suggested, what is ‘Alaska doing about it? Are we prepared or prepar- ing to take our share of the golden harvest which has come to mean so much to the Pacific Coast? | Most of us will admit we haven't even started to| cultivate the business that comes right to our door, | and knocks loudly every summer for admittance. | In the simple suggestion made by Mr. McGovern there is a world of promotion ideas. He told tle! one millions, yes, billions ndustry. None of them has more, nor as much, ffer the traveler 1as Alaska. It is purely a matter of promotion, and his can become the greatest tourist resort in the world. Ernest Gruening, Island When Dr ision of Territories and nterior Department me of his first remarks was, when being interviewed: Tt Possessions seems tr We have the advantages and the opportunities. Ve have only to make the most of them. It may be hat we should adopt the suggestion of Mr. McGovern centralize our tourist industry and promotion a central organization as has been done in arious sections of the west. Perhaps we need a ‘Midnight Sunners, Inc.”, a “Sourdoughs’ Promo- Soclety,” an +Amalgamated Order of Shrimp nd Crab Eaters De Luxe” some other sort of a entral organization akin to the Territorial Chamber ) carry on the work. But, regardless, we in the north are passing up a olden opportunity to make Alaska the greatest surist playground in the world. Last season we had round 30,000 tourists, Indications are that this sea- on it will go even higher, and there is no reason why could not be built up to two or three times that nd inder icn or nany. At an average visitor, as they estimate in the States, it runs into money—big money. ‘ We send the gold out of the north. We can bring it back on another route if we just set out to| do it in the right manner.

Today's word ists in Seattle a great demand for sea food. The travelers had a tendency to invade out-of-the-way shrimp, crab ard fish shops where they could get crab or seafood cocktails, or other dishes made ex- clusively of sea food. He followed up with the thought |, that an inducement and an exploitation idea mlgh(‘ be to establish stands at or near our docks featuring such dishes which are productive of Alaskan waters. | The point, as the Seattle man brought out, is to| hold your tourist longer in the north. Give him something for his money and at the same time make his stay such a happy one he will hate to leave and will start planning at once for his next trip north The.sea food idea is only one little suggestion. There | are hundreds of other things which could be done to promote and further the tourist industry in Alaska.| | Los Angeles Seattle and other coast cities have mn(lel __Garnick THE FRIENDLY S "l ORE SUMMER GRADE A Mrs. Vivens — 1 don’t believe this milk is up to standard.
