Cook Inlet Pioneei
and Knik News
Published by
Cook Inlet Publishing Co.
Anchorage, Alaska
i SATURDAY, SEPT. 18, 191f
While climate is an overworkec
subject, it might be well to jusl
| mention the fact that during tht
past summer Anchorage has en
joyed a climate more comfort
able than any of the famous re
sorts found elsewhere in North
America. As the saying goes,
this statement covers a large ter
ritory, but we believe everyone
who has spent more than three
months in this part of the Cook
inlet country will agree with us.
With a soil that invites cultiva
tion, water from nature’s own
springs worthy of the label “The
Choice of Particular People, ” just
comfortably warm during the
day and cool enough at night to
enable everyone to enjoy perfect
rest, practically no insects, and
along with all of this one of the
scenic spots of the world, right
at our door. Surely we have
much to be thankful for.
