The effect of this great Ameri can Odyssey, as one writer called it, on all who sees it, seems to be so impressive that they cannot al low the opportunity to congratu late the man who was responsible for it to pass. From governors qf states, rail road presidents, , labor leaders, down to the average man on the street, these testimonials flow. In. Governor Alfred E. Smith of New York is one of the high pub lic officials who could not resist the temptation to congratulate Mr. Fox. In a letter to the producer, he says: ."A number of state officials saw The Iron Horse with me. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that it was not only amus fng and interesting, but it was highly instructive. We were all of one mind that it should be a great success." Howard Chandler Christy, Am erica's foremost artist, after see ing the instrnctive - and . inspiring film, wrote Mr. Fox: ' "Last night we saw "The Iron Horse and this is to congratulate you and to thank yon lor a most entertaining and exciting evening. Not only is it a splendid artistic production, full ot interest and action and humor it Is the kind ot thing every, youngster and grown-up in this country should see to stimulate 'their minds in the making of this great nation of ours.' "A picture of this kind stimu lates healthy imaginations and forms real character. One comes away from the theater feeling that the evening has been gloriously spent and that the history of our country is unlimited In the pictur esque the heroic and romantic. "We are all indebted to the pro ducer of such a real picture." Senator Thomas F. Walsh ot Montana is another of the - high public men who wrote Mr. Fox after he saw "The Iron Horse," Astoria.- Cranberry crop estim ated at 50,000 bushels, a bumper crop. 7 -Ep- 7 OMR m . mm , , rxignc ana xvionung to Keep j them Clean Clear and Healthy j "Write for Free ,rEye Core" A or EyeBeauty" Book 1 MBfcc.iMLH.g,9i.oust,aucat ; BASEBALL I Pacific Coast Los Angeles 0-9; Portland 6-6.
