Ui CINCINNATI. GIRL - WANT 8 HOMESTEAD Interest in Al.aslm grows and | grows. As proof, a letter was re- ceived today by Mayor I. Goldsteln from a woman in Cincinnati, Ohio. The letter is accompanied by a chp-! ping from one of the newspapers | | there, which is dated Juneau, Al- aska March 27 and tells of the homesteads which will occupy 387 acres of land carved from the Ton- gass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. In explanation, the writer tells | that she is yery interested in com- ing to Alaska and wants to take up a homestead here. She says she is a widow, actress, teacher of dramat-~ ic art, short story writer and poetess. She will be very appreciative if Mr. Goldstein will refer her to some na- tive of Alaska who is & gentleman, | and would be willing to correspond with her. She describes herself as being § lieet 4 incl;u tall, blue eyed and a natural blond. She is tired, she now and yearns for the outdoor life of Alaska. Mayor Goldstein as yet has done nothing about the letter, but is hope- would be interested in corresponding with the would-be homesteader. | CATHARINE.
