Dear Haines,

I hear you are building a new dock facility at your commercial port at Lutak Inlet. Sounds like the dock is going to be much bigger than a town of less than 2,000 souls could ever need.

Why does a town need such an over expanded industrial facility? Do you have other plans that you are not telling us? Time to come clean Haines. Are there ore trucks in our future? Will you become just another used up mining town? You used to be such a nice place to live.
