STUDENTS OF LOCAL SCHOOL
START LETTER EXCHANGE
The students of the upper grades
of Franklin K. Lane School have
been writing’ letters to students in
other schools. The object was two
fold. In the first place, it was to
give the student practice in letter
writing and correct form, and in
the second place, to acquaint the
child with other sections of the
United States.
Usually, whenever a letter is mail
ed from this school, it is accompan
ied by a small box of Alaskan pro
ducts, such as moose hide, caribou
hide, ptarmigan wings, grouse tails,
mineral ores, posxard pictures and
snap shots. These letters and pack
ages have been sent to many differ
ent states and localities and in re
turn, many letters have been re
ceived.
Houston, Texas, sent several let
ters and many souvenirs of Texas,
including pictures, flowers, grasses,
etc. This was the first lot received
here and was put on exhibit in the
building. Later a group of letters
was received by the students of this
school from Sherman. Texas, but
as there were no souvenirs, there
no exhibit made.
The greatest and most interesting
package received was a small box
from Bristol, Vermont. The students
of the 8th grade in the Bristol
schools prepared the -box in their
language class, under the direction
of their English teaoher. Miss Roth
Elderkin. The box contained samp
les and pictures of Vermont pro
ducts and resources and included;
(1) popcorn on the cob; (2> con
centrated honey; (3j asbestos ore;
(4) talc rock—from which talcum
powder is made; (o) Vermont beans
(6) maple sugar. Then there were
many postals and pictures of in
dustry, mountains, historical places
and Vermont birds.
These souvenirs have been label
ed and placed on exhibit in the
school building and are attracting
very much attention. Other packages
are expected and as soon as thejv
arrive, will also be placed on ex
hibit. E?thibits are expected from
about 14 orther states.
PAPER SAYS TRAVEL NORTH
GERIG SAYS TRAVEL NORTH
WILL BE HEAVY THIS YEAR
Steamship companies look for bet
ter passenger and freight business
from Seattle. to Alaska this year,
according to an article appearing in
a recent issue of the Seward Gate
way. The opening of the new Gov
ernment railroad from Seward, on
the ocean, to Fairbanks, in the In
terior, is going to develop consider
able tonnage.
Transportation mem connected
with tine two big steamship compan
ies predict heavy traffic north dar
ing the season. It has been claimed
if transportation corns to Interior
Alaska could be reduced it would
reopen all low grade gravel claims.
This has been accomplished Wm.
Gerig came to the coast several
weeks ago on his mission to secure
a through rate. He met with no op
position fro mthe steamship com
panies, who agreed to the through
rate. It is about one-third of the
old rate and will give Nenana and
Fairbanks an opportunity to do a
general jobbing business with other
interior sections. Adjustment of
rates assures Seattle’s future as the
natural gateway to Alaska and Sew
ard as the gateway to the Interior.
“We anticipate the doubling of ou
Alaska business this year as compar
ed with last year”’, said A. F.
Haines, manager of the Admiral
Line. “As a result of the revival
of salmon prices cannery operations
this year, it is exped^ed will double
those of last year.”
