SOMETHING IS MISSING
 ON NEW FOLDER

Some time since, Seward, Anchor age and Nenana joined eogether, put up the money and had many thousand excellent folders printed to show in picture, mostly, and by short text that "Alaska's Greatest Entertainment Lies Along The Me Kinley Park Route" and lies, and lies. The Alaska Railroad put in with those enterprising towns and thousands and thousands of copies of the illustrated pamphlet were printed and distributed. As the News Miner has been for 20 years telling the world what great and enterprising city Fairbanks is and how all other Alaska cities and towns are only cheap limitations of Fairbanks, about 1000 of our friends in the three towns mentioned who have had to read the News-M her boasting all these years several ly conspired, each with himself to send us a copy of that folder, and poke fun at us that our boasted Fairbanks doesn't even show in pie ture rail route or by printed word on that map. It is their turn to crow, and they are entitled to their triumph. We haven't a word to say. Even Nerana Chortles with a glee at us, and sends us a folder with the following "slam-back" typewriter on a card within 1t:
