there thirty years ago. In a. recent letter to the Gateway, Mir. Selby tells of many matters of, interest to his friends and. .acquaintances...
 The town lFort Myers, -Florida) has been torn down, he says, and rebuilt with magnificent ediices and asatial homes. The recent boom, however, has put prices beyond the pale of the average working man and there has been a general exodus north by those who came to make their fortunes by easy means,
 In part, Mr. Selhy's. letter is as fol- lows:
 "It is hot today, ghastly, sticky hot and we are perspiring profusely. 1 am sitting near the water bottle with my tongue hanging out. and Mrs. Selby is wiping sweat and wishing for a chunk of the Seward glacier. Tom is taking nap and possibly dream ing of cooler climes. have to use lots of persuasion to prevent him from returning to Alaska, l am. talk. ing the climate in doses .ad nauseum as a medicine for. rheumatism, and at the rate my waist line is eyaporat- ing I will be willowy and Waspish by the time 1 return to Seward, My is getting much better in fact, have had no attacks since l left Soap Lake. Will start to work on a machine job next week if able, and will try to hold it down. until fall. Tom has landed on morning. paper here and puts in his time working, sleeping and cussing. He. goes to work at { and gets off at 2;30. Half hour for. lunch. The composing room has elec- tric fans and an attempt. is made to cool it, but 1t lacks coolth by about a d-- and half. How Iwish l were hack in the old Gateway office at this time. Florida has been ruined by the boom, and it will take. some. time for conditions to right themselves. We pay $50 per month for. an alleged fur nished flat of five rooms. It has, a, bath and gas, and the wife is luxuriat- ing in cooking with gas, We, will take a trip to Miami soon and. give it the once over. | spent last Weeklu the river about 50 miles with an old friend and ate grape. fruit and oranges until the market rose from my efforts.
