Mr. Loren Stewart
The Cheerhako News
Kenai, Alaska
Dear Editor:
I would like to eall your atten
tion to new legislation introduced
into the U. S. Senate by Bob
Bartlett for Senator* Gruening. I
refer to Senate Bill 2805 (The
Alaska Farmland Development
Act.)
This is legislation the farmers
on the Kenai Peninsula have urg
ed our senators to introduce for
several years. This bill is primar
ily for the homesteaders on the
Kenai Peninsula.
Af you know, Homer County is
allowed about $14,000 each year
for the ACP .program. This is a
small drop in the bucket that con
tains our needs. Both our sena
tors have given a great deal of
their time towards studying; this
problem. SB 2805 is the result
of this study.
I urge all homesteaders to sup
port this bill and to write any
lawmaker in Washington, D. C.
that they might know, asking
them to support this legislation.
This bill would create a fund
*••' $1 .ISO.000 for ocwvrd land
clearing practices. It would be
expended at the .rate of $125,600
a year. Out of this amount the
Peninsula’s share would amount
to over $40,000 each year for at
least the next ten years.
We need this legislation.
Sincerely,
EUGENE D. SMITH
President A ERA

Association.)

Arriving home from an ex
tended trip around Southern
California we found two copies
of the Cheechako News in the
mail box, one elated Jan. 5 and
the other Jan. 26, 1962,
First we spent one month in
Burbank, taking: care of Mil
dred’s sister and hubby's apt,
as they went over to the Islands
for three weeks. We left the day
the fires started in the hills a
bove. As I drove west on Mag
nolia in Burbank the whole
mountain seemed to be on fire.
The next stop was in Long
Beach at the Alaska-Hawaiian
Picnic. Quite a few old Alas
kans were present but only Fred
Hand and wife were from Anch
orage. Juneau, Nome and Fair
banks were represented, and a
good time was had by all includ
ing four little girls fi*om Ha
waii who danced with three bells
attached to their fannies.
Fred left for the Island but
both he and wife haa to stay in
bed for a month with the fiu.
From there we went to Pasa
dena and took in the Rose Pa
rade. It was a glorious day with
over a million attending.
Later we drove to Eagle Mt.
where we stayed for two weeks.
Eagle Mt. Is where Kaiser has
the iron mjnes. On the way
south I visited Jack O'Conner in
' 1 Valley. Jack was with the
Wild Game for many years. He
was the one that had General
Buckner arrested for illegal
hunting. In Desert Hot Springs
we visited Mr. Verne r and
Charley Leekner from Seward.
Yesterday we came back from
a two weeks’ stay in Teeopa
Hot Springs, but the weather
has been miserable all over So.
California.
It was snowing in Death Val
ley last Monday, so we came
back to our apartment in Vic
torville.
Regarding the poem, “The
Once Was,” .by Mai Cole; they
are not dead. I am past presi

p.m.
tired, I wrote “Drums of Dio
mede,” while there. It’s in your
library and if anybody wants a
copy, I have a few left.
On my 75th birthday I packed
my Ford and trailer and drove
to our future home in Yrnir, B.C.
Fixed up the cabin, took the bus
back to Victorville, loaded the
Volkswagen (had 4800 pounds on
it), took Mrs. Eide and drove
home. There I moved the cabin
300 ft. closer to the IMway, No.
fi B.O. and started to build. We
will finish the building this sum
mer, We have 22 acres—17 in
timber, pine, cedar, birch and cot
tonwood. The rest is clear. Then
we have a half mile on the Seimo
River.
The trout bites—at times-—and
deer are in the hills behind our
woods. And the best of the deal
is that our taxes are only $3.30
a year. The taxes in California
were eating into our savings so .
that’s the reason for our move.
We have a beautiful place so
our friends are welcome when
they come out from the North.
The latohstring is always out
and the coffee pot on the stoVe.

Dear Sir; ’#■
I am a newcomer to this part "
of the country in winter time, I
have been here twice before in
the summer.
My uncle, Iver Nearhouse,
runs the general store here and
I am helping him. He subscribes
to your paper and I enjoy it very
much also. , :
I saw your poet’s corner so I
have written two pieces of poet
ry—The scenery around here is
changing from day to day. It is
beautiful and the oldti mere just
take it for granted. They do not
6eem to appreciate it as much as
I do—I hope you will like the
poems enough to print them.
Sincerely yours,
ROSE M. HOLZER,
Hope, Alaska
(The poems entitled “The
Moose” and ‘''Christmas in Hope”
have been placed in the Oheeoha
ko News files for future refer
ence. Thank you for submitting
them and for liking our paper. We,
too, think the scenery near* Hope
—and in fact in all Alaska—| is
far too beautiful to be taken .for*
granted.—Ed.) • * §S *
