Communication
The following letter was receiv
ed in Nome by Carl J. Lomen,
manager of the Lomen Commer
cial Company, from Raymond
Robbins, a Nomeite of the early
days. The letter needs no fur
ther explanation:
Dear Mr. Lomen:
Your valued letter of April last
enclosed with one from David W.
Walker, Esq., has gladdened my
heart and quickened me with
many old memories of the Yukon
Goldfields and the great ..first
Winter in the story of Nome, Al
aska.
It is recorded of a Louis King
of France, that in a moment of
pique, remarked to a company of
courtiers “I know that I have been
an unconscionable time a dying,”
and so it is with me. Some
eleven years ago I was smashed—
back broken in three places and
paralysed from the waist down
ever since, with complications. In
termittent illnesses have beset me
ever since, and this is the occasion
of my delay in acknowledgement
of your generous letter.
Much as I have ever loved your
City on the Shores of Puget
Sound, since first I knew it in
the summer of 1897-1 cannot hope
to visit you, so if we are to meet
on this Third Planet from the
Sun, you will have to visit Flor
ida and this Sanctuary—as I can
not hope to visit YOU! Should
you ever be in this vicinity I
would be delighted to have you
come by for an hour, for a meal,
for overnight or longer if con
venient for you. If this happy
occasion comes my way we will
talk of Alaska and the Northwest
Territory in their Pioneer days,
Dawson town and Eldorado &
Bonanza Creeks, Dyea and the
Chillcoot Pass, White Horse-Five
Fingers-Rink Rapids and other
places and events thrown in. Sail
ing across Lake LaBarge I shall
never forget, nor the forty miles
from Dyea to the summit of Chill
coot carrying two tons of outfit
on your back and all by foot pow
er Plus Will Power, and later
living on seal oil and dried fish.
Then Nome, Atlin Creek, and the
Hospice of St. Bernard. (This
included the FIRST hospital,
school and church and furthest
NORTH then in all the world.
After something over three
years in the Yukon Goldfields
and NOME, came fourteen months
during the heart of World WAR I,
in the land of the Czars. Keren
sky’s Provisional Government?,
then the Soviet Revolution and
LENIN’S great Adventure_the
Soviet Government—the greatest
economic REVOLUTION in all
human history. This we would
talk over also. Then this Sanc
utary and these MIGHTY DAYS.
With every good wish to you
and yours,
Sincerely,
Raymond Robins

! Engineer Saves
Life With Cans
MALDEN. Mass., July 10—(JP)—
Trapped in conveyor belt rollers
which were crushing his legs, a
46-year-old engineer saved him
self today by throwing tin cans
until he hit an electric switch
which shut off the power.
George Ross, of Saugus, aimed
i for his life 30 times before he
scored the hit which stopped the
rollers.
i Dragged into the mach.ne above
the knees, at the Potter Drug and
Chemical Company, Ross twisted
1 a jacknife out of his pocket and
j cut through a heavy four-foot
: belt.
When he failed to stop the ma
! chine, he grabbed cans spilled
from the belt and hurled them
at a wall switch six feet away
until he hit it.
Hospital attaches said the man
had a good chance of recovering
without amputation.
