ALASKA BECOMING POPULAR
AS A RESORT FO RTOURISTS
WASHINGTON, April 16.—'The
Tetri tory of Alaska, says a state
ment from the Department of the In
terior, is becoming popular as a.re
sort for tourists. Thirty-five, thou
sand tourists last year visited South
eastern Alaska. An excursion of the
Los Angeleles Chamber of Commerce
took 173 people to the .Far North,
and is being repeated this year with
the expectation that there wil be 200
people in the party. Following the
lead of Los Angeles, Seattle sent 37,
and now the Portland Chamber of
Commerce is sending an excursion of
80,people to Alaska, and the Sierra
Club of San. Francisco is also spon
soring a party. All of these agencies
and many others will operate on ex
cuBsions for the. coming summer.
The Department regrets-that many
of , these excursions go no further
than Southeastern Alaska. It believes
that they would be more attractive
from the tourist standpoint if they
included Seward and the rail trip to
Fairbanks. This latter trip would in
clude also a visit to Mount McKinley
National Park, which is one of the
most beautiful of Uncle Sam’s groups
of parks, including what is admitted
ly the most magnificent mountain in
North America and the highest moun
tain. in the world above its base. De
spite its attractiveness, this park had
less than a thousand visitors last
year.
This year the Alaska Railroad is
also conducting a Government em
ployees excursipn from Washington
to Alaska, and two or three of the

DRY CHANGE ACTION IS
ASKED BY TWO STATES
BOSTON.—The Massachusetts leg
islature today called on the National
Congress for a constitutional conven-,
tion of the states to consider repeal,
or amendment of the prohibition
amendment.
The action taken was :the concur
rence by the house of reprosentativp.s.
ip a senate amendment to a resolu*'
tion requesting such a ‘.convention.
The amendment 'vas accepted, with
out debate and the. resolution wil..be
forwarded to Congress. Signature of
Governor Joseph B. Ey is unneces
sary, but, he .expressed approval .of
: the legislature’s action. . .
1 . Massachusetts was believed at the
state capitol to be the first state to
| take adfantage of the constitutional
guarantee that two-thrds of -the
states can compel Congress to call a
constitutional convention^
. MADISON, Wis.—Three state sen
ate resolutions expressing dissatisfac
tion with prohibition were adopted
today when the senate gave its ap
proval. .
Th resolutions and. assembly votes:
To petition Congress for a nation
wide referendum, 7.6 to 11; to ask
Congress to legalize ight wines and
beer, 60 to 27; and. to ask Congress
to abandon prohibition enforcement,
61 to 28.

TWO REASONS.
Those who are addicted to criticis
ing the small-towfl newspaper for not
publishing many details of local hap
penings, particularly whin they tend
to injure or reflect upon local persons,
may find some food for thought in the
following paragraph frdm.'the' Print*
er-Journalist:
“One reason the1, city \ newspaper
man can print “all. the news that is
fit to print” is because he does not.
have to live in close daily association
with his victims as does the country
paper man.
“Another reason is because he has
no opportunity foe close-up views of
results of prying into intimate per
sona affairs and laying them bate to .
public gaze. It is.no axcuse to say
the public demand*, such things. All
of us want to know.lotsrof things that,
are none of our business.”...
