Robinson, Vernonia, Ore.—Dear Sir: We have just been handed a copy of the "Chistmas Edi tion" of the Vernonia Eagle, issued Friday, December 14th, and are tak ing this opportunity to write you for two reasons: First, to congratulate you on such a splendid issue. The people of Ver nonia should be proud to mail this issue to their friends, as it certainly will prove an “eye-opener” to those who are not familiar with Vernonia’s rapid growth and development. The second reason is to ask if you will not please send us an additional copy or two of this paper in order that we might forward same to our officials in San Francisco—we know of no better way to back up the argu ments made to our officials at the time we asked for an appropriation to install a distributing plant in Ver nonia, than to furnish them with a copy of the Christmas edition of the Vernonia Eagle.
