SUGGESTS RAILROAD PAGEANT
The News is in receipt of the fol
lowing self explanatory letter from
Richard Suratt, cinematographer, of
Wrangell, Alaska, the communication ;
having reached Nenana on today’s j
mail from the coas*::
Wrangell. Dec. 24. 1921
Editor Nenana Xevrs:—
I am informed that the ceremony!
of completing the Railroad—driving
the Golden Spike, etc—will probably j
occur about the middle of Febru- i
ary.
This event will mark an epoch in ■
the history of Alaska and it seems
to me that it should be an occasion
for some sort of a big “hurrah” j
from you people up there along the
line. Why not pull off some sort of
a pageant, symbolizing the passing j
of oar frontier? Iron trail unlocks!
Alaska's treasure house—oldtime
dog masher—picturesque character
of the N'orth—passing into realm of!
romance.
I intend to cover this event for i
the screen and I would like to have
•‘atmosphere" and “local color”. If
there is any get-together spirit
among you folks up there, you can
stage something that will be intense
ly interesting to the Outside world—
and do it without expense. How
about a dog race? I would like some
well known musher like Seppala or
the Malamute Kid to drive his team
up in front of a locomotive and ‘
shake hands with the engineer—the
old and the new. Of course we want I
Col. Mears and his staff of engineer '
—builders of an empire.
I have just returned from New,
York and I find that the public is,
very receptive and enthusiastic about!
things Alaskan. If we can get two
or three minutes space in a News
Weekly of international reputation
(and I assure you that we cant we
will receive more publicity than
printers' ink because twenty million
people in every walk of life from
Main street to Broadway will see
and "remember” the passing of the j
last frontier.
Yours truly
RICHARD SURATT
