* COMMUNICATION.
r
Nenana, Oct. 31, 1921
Editor Nenana X'ews:
In support of our citizenship
rights insofar as franchise is con
" cerned. I wish to offer a few words
^ in the way of comment on the ab
surdity of the remarks of one of,
the speakers at the Coliseum on
Sunday evening, with reference to j
incorporation.
When we stop and consider that
our voice at the polls is a right ac
corded us by our Government, a-'
citizens of this country, to express
our wish in accordance with our in
dividual conscience and best judg
ment, it seems absurd and redicu
lous for any one to express from
the public platform the opinion that
; every voter who casts a ballot in
i . ...
opposition to incorpora*- n is a
1 j Socialist or a Bolshevist and that
! he or she is not a desirable citizen.
I Such remarks are true to Bolshevik
[ rule in the sense that most people
I understand it, and are not at all be
i coming to true Americanism.

! DELEGATES GO IN PLANES
| KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1—Flying'
! from New York to Kansas City, a
distance of 1,500 miles, with only j
one stop, three five-passenger mono- *
planes arrived here last week, with
a party of delegates to attend the |
| American Legion convention.
GERMANS QET AN EXTENSION
PARIS. Nov. 1—The reparations •

WHEN DREAMS COME TRUE
iBv H. M. IPOrsayi
One Xenanaite, at least, is notj
talking hard times; nor does the}
prospect of a long .lean winter j
weigh upon her Mrs, E. Mellish.j
who went to San Francisco less,
than a year ago,—being the pro- i
i verbial live wire.—did not succumb.'
although her life was seriously en- i
dangered by the necessity of two
i critical operations. When barely
able to leave the hospital, and after
a brief convalescance, she took her j
daughter Nona from a deportment!
school in San Francisco and started
for New York. After a brief stay l
in that metropolis, both set sail j
for Mrs. Meliish's home in Sweden
where an inheritance from her;
father’s estate awaited her.
Stockholm, Berlin and Paris! Post
i cards from one gay European cap
ita! after another have been finding
! their way from her hurried pen—all
fired with the joy and enthusiasm
of their journeyings. and now the
end of the rainbow, where the pot
of gold is supposed to be located—
Buenos Aires!
Mrs. Mellish may engage in busi-!
ness in the mecca of South America.
The Argentine is next on her cate
gory. She is young enough; Nona
old enough, to enjoy and profit by
travels permitted to few.
All of which goes to show what;
a little girl from a foreign land
had the brains, courage and com
mercial insight to accomplish in a
few brief years, in Alaska; over
coming the handicap of foreign
birth, and being but a girl. Having
attained this brilliant finish and re
alization of her dreams, Mrs. Mel
lish has the good wishes of all her
friends and acquaintances in Alaska,
in her new enterprises. May she
ever dream true!
