LETTER'S REFLECT INTEPEST
Letters being received by val
ley residents show nlainly that
many outside are still keenly in
terested in affairs of the colony.
One such, letter, just received
by !l*rty Novak encloses a noster
regarding a series of lectures be
ing given by Er*. TT.V,r. °nell who
took, moving' oictures of colony ac
tivities during- the summer. Ed,
I Arty’ ^ brother from whom the let
ter was received, says that they
created a great deal of interest.
"There has been a lot of orooa
ganda spread here,:: Eu writes.
"Bet being a lover of Ai-ska I
argue and show them written oroof
from you and George and that con
vinces some of them* ITr. Snell’s
cictures nrove beyond a doubt that
Alaska is a fine nlace...a land of
promise. They are so convincing
that people cannot believe the
stuff that has been soread by the
Alaskan quitters, after seeing
them.:f
It is interesting to note that
the letter heading records a 20
below temperature at Lyons, Illi
nois, the day it was written.
