LARGEST MAP
IS NOW UNDER
CONSTRUCTION
WASHINGTON, Apr. 28.—<AP>
—The largest map-making proi
ect in history is the topographi
cal portrait of 292,000 .square
miles of northern Alaska by the
Army Air Force and the Geolog
ical Survey, is almost completed.
It is beginning to y eld val
uable secrets of 'he wild land,
four-fifths of which was virtual
ly unmapped before
William W|'at|ier, director of
the Geological Survey, said
much of it has never been seen
by human eye.
The map is made from modern
photographic trimetrogon aerial
methods, and shows rivers mean
dering in the Arctic Ocean which,
for centuries, have gone un
named.
The map will show topographic
features foY possible si*es for
airports to be used, it is assum
ed, in the inevitable important
air route from the United States
Moscow and Asia.
It will also show possible rich
mineral deposits miles from hu
man paths at the present.
Army photographers took 25,
000 photographs, which, when
laid edge to edge, would cover
more than a quarter of an acre
CRAB SEASON
UNDERWAY
Many people have been seen
on the Bering Sea in the last
couple oC weeks, ‘aking advan
tage of the bountiful supply of
King Crab, which are now avail
able.
One group brought back as
many as 60 of these large shell
fish, which are the finest crab
in the Pacific. These are the
large, soft-shelled variety, which
were canned by the Japanese in
Alaskan waters, and which are
now off the market.
A shipment of the same kind
of crab was brought to Nome
from Diomede for Polet’s Store,
showing that Norton Sound and
Bering Sea are not the only
places where they are available,
and indicating that ^he fishing
grounds must be quite extensive
Some of thft largest crabs on
display have legs measuring 18
inches in length and about an
inch in diameter.
Little equipment is needed and
fishing for the crab en‘ails much
enjoyment.
NOTICE TO DRIVERS
OF MOTOR VEHICLES'
Any person, before driving any
motorized vehicle within the cor
porate limits of Nome, must have
a drivers license, as authorized

FORTIFICATION
OF SHEMYA
ISLE REVEALED
HEADQUARTERS. ALASKAN
DEPARTMENT — The occ .na
tion and fortification of Shemya.
a small, but very importa"* is
land in the far wes’ern Aleutians,
was revealed today.
Troops went ashore there in a
howling storm during the battle
of Attu in May of 1943.
Picked men of the famed
Fourth Infantry regiment, which
is the same outfit which cap
tured Lion Mountain and Chi
chagof Corridor, close to A'tu,
succeeded vn the /undertaking. ,
They encountered no resistance
although reconnaissance efforts
of the Alaskan Scouts proved
'hat tRe Japs had beer, there
and had survey the island prob
ably for occupation and con
struction of military installa
tions.
Shemya Island is only five
square miles large, but is now
one of the most important mili
tary bastions in the wes'ern
Aleutians
Engineers for the past ten
months have almost rebuilt the
island and have made it impreg
nable to assault.
Despite ex'remely rough liv
ing conditions the first few
months, the island is now com
fortable as is any in the Aleu
tian chain.
by ordinance No. 265 of the Nome
City Ordinances.
On May 1st , any person driving
without a license will be arrested
and fined §20 00.
