strumental music during the early
part of the evening.
The chairman announced the theme
of the evening was a general consider
ation of prospects for 1925.
P. II. Johnson responded in behalf
of' the Commercial club. As instanc
es of things which he thought the
club should encourage he named the
road to Newport by way of Elkins and
King's Valley, a direct road west to
Cooper Hollow and Falls City, the
placing of appropriate markers at
the entrances to the city and gener
al aid to Normal welfare and city im
provements. He reviewed the evi

Visitor From North Tells
Of the Marvels of Alaska
Henry R. Miller of Alaska, father
of Ruth Miller, a Normal student, is
here to visit his daughter. Mr.
Miller is a station agent on the rail
road which runs from Seward to
Fairbanks and is located at Birch
wood, near Anchorage. During the
winter months his only companions
are the section hands, but in summer
there are many tourists who make the
trip on the railroad.
The summer time in this portion of
Alaska is when Nature makes up for
the long, cold winter nights. Dur
ing the summer the days are an al
most continuous round of sunshine,
and under the stimulus of light and
warmth vegetation performs prodi
gies of growth. Mr. Miller tells of
celery three feet tall and head let
tuce so crisp that it breaks at the
slightest pressure of the finger and
as for roses and sweet peas, no fairy
wand ever produced anything so won
derful and fragrant.
In the summer season the bushes
in the vicinity of Birchwood produce
thousands of quarts of raspberries
and red currants and people come
from Anchorage and other near by
points to gather the ""berries and' put
them up. They bring cans j with
them, camp out in the bg station
lliotisa and make of the occasion a

Alaska as a. cold

When Mr. Miller left Alaska a few
days ago it was forty degrees below

Yet the 500 miles of railroad
to the interior are traversed .every
day, all the year around, and trains
are rarely more than ten minutes
late. ; ;:j
Mr. Miller is off on a six month's
vacation, most of which he plans to
spend in Southern California. ' Mr.
