STORK’S VISIT
TO BE REWARDED
Nome Landlord Presents
Baby Bonds to Babies Born
In His Apartments
Joe Wallace, proprietor of the
“famous" SeifTert Flats of early
Nome days, and now known as
the Wallace Apartment Building,
on Second Avenue, made a prop- j
osition a couple of years ago, that
to every baby born in his apart
ment house, he would present
$25.00 cash. Thus far, he has only
been called on twice to make re
I wards, after the Stork paid vis
its to this northern section.
We do not know whether Pro
prietor Wallace has gone into
partnership with the “Stork" or
not. However, Joe has made a
new arrangement, that hence
forth he will present a United<
States Baby Bond of $25.00 value
to each and every baby born in |
said apartment house — singles,!
twins or quintuplets will all be
entitled to a Baby Bond.
Since this announcement has!
been whispered around, it now j
looks like Mr. Wallace will have'
to construct another apartment
house, due to the increased num
ber of requests for renters of his
apartments, which also looks like
he has started a new way to in
crease the population of Nome.
If this “Stork" business gets to
multiplying at an a'arming num-|
ber—'Which is not unusual during
the long cold winter nights, we
can look forwiard to the Alaska
Steamship Company having to
add several additional boats on
the Nome run to see the apart-;
mcnt, the proud owner as well as
the fathers and mothers of the
proud babies; pictures and mov
ies will then follow the tourists,
as they do at Calandar, Ontario,
where the Dionne quints are
housed, and who are already on |
their way to fortune.
Well, folks if this does come to
pass, naturally the local cham
ber of Commerce, the city coun
cil, and the Nome Kennel Club
will have to keep pace with the
ever moving and growing city of'
Nome and its population.

JOE SHELDON PASSES AWAY
A telegram received by Mrs.
Sam Taggart from Mrs. Vesta
Sheldon, gives the information
concerning the death of her hus
band. Joe Sheldon, at Pasadena,
California, Dec. 20th. following a
lingering illness. The message
also states that his funeral was
held Thursday. Dec. 22nd.
At the time of his death he!
was president of the A. C. Bro
rnan Stationery supply houses of
that city.' Beside his wife, he
leaves three children, Joe Shel
don, Jr., Harry Sheldon and one!
daughter, Jane.
Joe Sheldon *came to Nome
following the gold rush days, and t
was a close friend of Capt. E. W.
Johnston, with whom he made
his home. Gapt. Johnston was
owner of one of the rich placer
mining claims on the famous
Third Beach Line, between the
Bessie Bench and Little Creek,
just about the time of the receiv
ership days when the rightful
owners were being forced off
their claims by gangsters.
Joe Sheldon was for a time
looking after the cleanups for
Mr. Johnston and was also an
employee of the Alaska Banking
and Safe Deposit Company.
Later he became cashier of the
bank and continued in the bank
ing business until .this institution
was absorbed by the Miners and [
Merchants bank, when -he! be
came a director and part owner.
He was one of the few bankers
who held the confidence of the
general public and who was al
ways considered the friend of the
‘underdog.” He disposed of his i
banking interests here during the
panicky days of bank failures in j
SeattLe and Tacoma and with his |
family left Nome for the States; I
entering into the taxi-cab busi-!
ness in Seattle ifor a time with !
Wm. A. Gilmore and Sam Tagg
art, who conducted the Yellow j
Taxi Cab Co., finally settling |
down in business in Pasadena. '
California.
He married Vesta Story, dau
ghter of Captain Harry Story of
Nome, in the eary days of the
camp, the union being blessed by !
three offspring. Friends will be
sorry to hear of the passing of
this fine young man who made
his start here and the Nome Nug
get takes this opportunity to ex
press the sympathy of the entire
community to the bereaved fam
ily in this their time of sorrow.
