Because of consideration shown
by a Breckenridge family a foreign
j correspondent of newspaper of Den-
mark is singing praises of Breck-

A letter has been recived from
J. G. Milwartz, Aalborg, Denmark,
which enclosed a picture of Alex
Kime and his son, Arnest and an
article about the visit of the Mil-
wertzs to Breckenridge. The letter
to the American follows:

untold values to the city. The A-

brought the town is only a drop
in the bucket. Hundreds of young
people have had an opportunity to
continue their education through its

would have been unable to continue
if it had not been for the night

They have now made the people
of Breckenridge an offer of a busi-
