renew acquaintance with him during
his visit at his old home. He came out
from Fairbanks, Arlaska, accompany-
ing the body of his aunt, Mrs. W. T.
Pinkerton, who was buried- in Seat-
tle, Wash.
'Orval is looking fine and life in
Alaska seems to agree with him. He
speaks highly of Uncle Sam's north-
ern territory. Alaska is modernizing
at a rapid rate, and pioneer conditions
are becoming a thing of the past.
A'ir lines and airplanes are used for
long distance travel and important
freight. Visitors are attracted 'to Alas-
ka by its scenery, whidh to Mo.
Holmes' opinion is the most majestic
on the North American 'continent. It
is the land of the oheechacko (tender-
foot) and sourdough, and of the mid -
eight sun and the Spring break-up.
&lairbanks is becoming a c'i'ty of
modern dwellings, and the U.S. 'army
is 'considering the construction of an
important air 'base there this sum-
mer. it is the seat of ,Alaska Univer-
sity which the attends. Placer mining
