DRAW CLOS ATLIN JUNEAU, The colorful little town of Atlin, across the jagged ice cap behind Juneau, is Canadian, but re- cent developments have brought that promising set- tlement and its section so close to the American flag that Juneau would do well to become better acquainted with our neighbors “over the hump. There are three big reasons why Atlin and Juneau will grow closer in the years ahead, First, Atlin is but a little over an hour by air- plane from Juneau. Second, Atlin is a mining area with perhaps more promise than any camp in the North. And third, Atlinites admit that Juneau is their logical port for freight transfer. With those bare statements in mind, it can be predicted that increasing air tonnage will be carried to Atlin and the country surrounding, from Juneau and that in addition, regular tourist air schedules will be maintained. It means more money to Juneau Enlarging on these statements, anyone who has made the airplane flight to Atlin from Juneau say along with people who have seen air views the world over, that the country traversed in this flight furnishes the air tourist flight on the globe.” Up the Taku River, or directly over fce cap at a height of from two to three colored glaciers, jagged peaks, mountain lakes and plunging waterfalls make a pic- ture that cannot be touched with newspaper type. ¢ And once over the summit, sunshine 100 ~percent in your favor, for Atlin records exactly 95 percent sunshine of its possible amount during the 365 days of the year—which is tourist bait in itself. Lake Atlin itself is a deep unbelievable blue that divides two climates and two terrains almost pre- cisely. On the western shores of its 90-mile long north to south sweep, swift rising and glacier studded mountains reach into the skies for several thousand feet, while on the eastern margins, round hills roll off towards the distant McKenzie River The tourist has then, only one hour from Juneau, an unrivalled climate, unmatched scenery, superior fishing for lake trout, mackinaw trout, grayling and other varieties, and the best of hunting for moose, deer, bear, goat and mountain sheep as well as several species of the grouse family. It is a place where the big game hunter can take his wife and children, permit them to have all the Joys of a vacation with modern conveniences in Atlin itself, while he himself samples the hunting and fish- ing offered to him in the immediate vicinity. As a future tourist mecca, Atlin will march to a prominent spot on the vacation map of North America, Mining men predict Atlin is a That area was struck in will the the blue winding miles, panorama of your chances of seeing are almost “coming camp.” ‘98 when gold was found in Pine Creek placers, the rush began, and surface gravels were washed in a hundred streams, producing millions of dollars Today, mining has gone below the surface gravels to drift mine paystreaks as deep as 200 feet on ancient stream channels. But although mining methods have gone to deeper paystreaks, methods themselves are unchanged from forty years ago, and the advent of modern mining equipment will bring a steady growth to Atlin. Last year, numerous Atlin’s mining production, from its “small crew placers,” amounted to nearly $600,000, and significant to the mining man observer. approximately $250,000 of that production was made on the Spruce Creek ground of the Colpe Mining “the most magnificent scenic.

Marland. who told the people he was even a better New Dealer than Senator Thomas. So goes the campaign of 1938. The shadow of one man, himself not a candidate for any office, casts itself across State lines and athwart the multiple cross-currents of local issues and contests. Men running for sheriff or county prosecutor are telling the voters that they love Mr. Roosevelt, expecting thereby tc get WPA support, or that they don't ap- prove all of his policies, thus bidding for the suffrage of independents and dissenters. All of which makes it easy for the dopesters to tell us the score. When an indo: in Florida they can simplify and say the President was vindicated. When an unindorsed Senator Gil- lette triumphs in Towa it's easy to spell out the results as a repudiation of the President.

A type of drawbridge in which two sections divide and the drive- ways of them are lifted into the If Elmer Thomas had been defeated newspapers 21T all over the country would be carrying headlines today saying that Oklahoma voters had humbled Mr. Roose- velt and renounced the New Deal. By that rule-of- thumb it follows that the results should be inter- preted as a great victory for the President. Yet, there are pertinent facts not generally known outside of Oklahoma—for instance, that Senator Thomas’ principal opponent, Gomer Smith, campaigned pri- marily on promises of higher WPA wages and larger old-age pensions, and in no way spoke ill of Mr Roosevelt’s leadership. And the man who ran third did so urging the people to “march forward with Mar- land and Roosevelt.” He wasn't a poor third because he was 100 percent New Dealer, but because Okla- homa voters thought he had been a poor Governor. While Oklahoma’s primary was proceeding with sound and fury Indiana Democrats reached new heights—or depths—of harmony in their State con- | vention, The McNutt-Townsend Democratic State ma- chine, after spending years in planning to send ' Senator Frederick Van Nuys to political oblivion, and after using to the limit his opposition to President Roosevelt’s Supreme Court plan in an attempt to Company, which is operated with the most miodern | destroy him, gave him.a renomination by acclamation, equipment in the district—two ancient wood-burning steamshovels, It is said Atlinites were dubious when the steam- shovels came two shovel.

And Senator Van Nuys liberally buttered those who had tried to destroy him with a speech in which he said: “Under the matchless leadership of former Gov- ernor McNutt, Governor Townsend and President Franklin D. Roosevelt we have almost completely solved the present complex situation.” We aren’t sure whether Senator Van Nuys de- serves a medal for subtle sarcasm or for heaping coals of fire on the heads of his enemies. He knows, of course, that they renominated him only because they found that they couldn't safely refuse. He split the party, up the 1840 chances of Mr. MeNutt, whom the Indmm convention indorsed for President. But of two things we're pretty certain. “matchless leadership” of Messrs.
