Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
Hundreds Letters Ask for C of
C Nome Information
A large attendance of members
and visitors were present at the
regular twice-monthly luncheon
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce held yesterday at the Nev
ada Grifl, including Mr. Hines,
Territorial Bank Inspector, and
Wallace Porter of Dime Creek,
Democratic. representative elect
to the Alaska legislature.
Minutes of previous meetings
were read and the body proceed
ed to the regular order of busi
ness.
Secretary A. Polet reported re
ceiving more than three hundred
letters in the last mail asking for
information and opportunities of
moving to Nome from the States.
He was at somewhat of a loss to
explain the sudden interest in
Nome and this section of Alaska,
until he observed an article in
!he December issue of the Cos
mopolitan magazine by James J
Hilshire, a writer who visited
Nome this past summer. The title
of the article was “Opportunity,
Hot or Cold,” and symbolized the
advantages of moving to the U.
S.’s outposts of the Philippines
or Alaska.
He read several paragraphs
from the story pertaining to Al
aska and Nome in particular and
the comments made by promin
ent people of this section con
cerning the opportunity for
young people in Alaska today—
as business people and miners
and prospectors.
The story referred to was un
usually specific and presented a
fine viewpoint on Nome — the
type of publicity which is going
to do this section some good. Dis
cussion occurred as to the past
policy of the Chamber of Com
merce in discouraging newcomers
to come to Nome unless they had
jobs or were financiaQly inde
pendent. The subject of answer
tng the letters and of the form
ulation of a definite policy was
referred to the Board of Direct
ors which will report its opinion
at the next meeting.
Secretary Polet introduced the
subject of securing the construc
tion of a road and culvert fill
across Dry Creek to Belmont
Point, following the destruction
of the foot bridge in the recent
storm. The subject was referred
to the Roads Committee to con
fer with the city council and the
Alaska Road Commission offic
ials, after which the meeting ad
journed.
