Here is the,Answer
'Dear Mr*. Nest*
This little village has had increas
ingly loss business for many years and
the prospects are that it will have less
until copper gets above 8c.
The climate hero is good'if you like
it cold; most people do nofcj
We had a. sfhool at one time but the
children moved away and.the school
closed*
We never had a' Churoh and perhaps
that is the reason the town is go’irig
to hell. *
The Indians live on fish and rabbits
and the rest of us live on sfcenory and
hope. Yours truly,
Postmaster, Chitina, Alaska
I am willing to admit that this paper
may be a little bit corney arid sonie'of
you probably think I am ready for that
mental institution which we have hoard
so much about, and which seems to be
needed so desperately for us nuts, who
some of you sane characters seem to
be so concerned about that you have so
kindly decided to provide us with this
most worthy institution*.
Aside from all of thi3 I wish to express
my. appreciation to all of you who have
written those wonderful letters saying
that you have enjoyed reading the
Gazette*

I started this paper for-the purpose
of advertising our Tebay Lodge and to
lot a few people- know about -this place
called Chitinav It hris/created more
•interest' than was- anticipated and has
developed Into a nearly^full time pro
ject? It certainly is satisfying to
findi 30 many people- who. are interested
in this part of A la skat. Thanks again
for those letters and that includes
those visitors from the States who
enjoyed our little one ghost, town and
were kind enough to write and toll ua-*
