PASTOR FINDS COAST TOWN
ENJOYING MUCH PROSPERITY
In a letter which reached Nenana
on the last mail. Dr. Robert Joseph
Diven, formerly pastor of the local
Presbyterian church and now in
charge of the Presbyterian church at
Wrangell,, says that he found that
town much larger and more pros
perous than when he left there
some years ago. His Sunday School
class, he says, has reached such
proportions that the overflow has to
be taken care of in the adjoining
building.
There are two large paper mills
in course of construction within 30
j miles of the city of wrangell, and
they will soon be ready for opera
tion. This, Dr. Diven thinks, v. ’1
add greatly to the importance and
prosperity of Wrangell.
The doctor’s new cottage, a large
two-story building, the erecfoa of
which was commenced shortly after!
his arrival there, was completed re- 1
cently and is now occupied by him
and Mrs. Diven.

Eric Johnson, well known oldt.im ;
er of the Interior, arrived in town j
from Anchorage on Thursday and !
reports that things are a little quiet j
in the big railroad town jus: now j
as a result of the moral wave which j
recently swept the place. He ex
presses the belief that there will be
a big influx of people to the Inter
ior from Anchorage and other coast
points later in the winter, owing
to the general closing down of rail
road work on the coast end of the
Government road, and the promise
of a rerival of work in the Interior.
He thinks Nenana will be the center
of attraction for the newcomers.
