 EXTENDED TO GROUP
Arrive at Station in Sing ing Mood Governor Att
 tracted by Children
When itc Springtime in Alaska, And Ninety-n mine below, And Eskimos go barefoot through White and drifted snow. Where Polar Bears get sunburned At midnight or by day, When it's Springtime in Alaska, In Alaska far away.

SEATTLE, May IT, With the above refrain ringing in the air sung to the tune of When lts Springtime in the Rockies" two trainloads of Wisconsin and Mlchl- gan farmers, enroute to the Mata- nuska Valley in Alaska, arrived II Seattle yesterday afternoon.
 The party is composed of 3lt adults, 338 children and the larg- est family is that of William Bouw- ems. of Rhinelander, Wisconsin composed of himself and wife ano II children ranging in age from to IS years.
 Official Greeting
 Gov. Clarence D. Martin anc Mayor Charles L. Smith were or hand to greet the colonists wher they arrived, as well as other prom inent men and women.
 A formal reception was held with Gov. Martin and Mayor Smith. the chief spokesmen, and both promised the city would make their stay hap py and comfortable.
 Gov. Martin was particularly ln- terested in the youngsters. Lifting blankets he peered at two infants in their baskets. They were Clifford Cousineau, eight weeks old, and Ronald Spencer, Is days old.
 Twin Boys
 Twin boys, Melvin and Alvin Nc Cormick, also attracted the atten- tion of the Governor.
 The only illnesses discovered in the party were several cases of colds and fever caused by the sudden changes in attitudes.
 Attracts Attention
 Miss June Hermon, aged 16 years, daughter of MT. and Mrs. John Hermon, of Plymouth, Wisconsin with her guitar, attracted much at tention at the railroad station. She was likened to a troubadour of the forty-niners.
 Boy Scouts Help
 Boy Scouts were on hand and helped to handle the baggage oi the members of the party.
 The colonists seemed cheerful and happy.
 The newcomers were supplied with tobacco and flowers at the Frye Hotel where relatives from surrounding towns swarmed to meet the visitors.
 Fox Terrier Adds Family
 Bernice Piaskowski's fox terrier Rambler, bore five puppies while enroute to Seattle on the train. Wenatchee res d ents met the trains there with a hand truck load of apples. The colonists marvelled at their size and wondered if the Matanuska would grow such large ones.
 Mrs. Waldo Fox, with her guitar, led the colonists from Michigan, es- pecially in singing the improvised verses to the tune of When It's Springtime in the Rockies"
 One husky farmer remarked: This country is a lot like Alaska where we are going. Oh, boy, we are going to make town out of that Palmer place.
