closer investigation it develops
that this is the nomenclature ev
olved to title a collection of des
criptive prose and poems con
cerning the Nome country, em
bellished by illustrations typi
cal of our Northern sector. The
booklet is most attractively turn
ed out, and is a tribute to the
artistic skill of several Nomeites
whom we are inclined to be
lieve are altogether too modest.
In perusing this small volume
of prose and poetry to gather
some clue as to the identity of
contributors, artists, and pub
lishers, the best we could do
was to find a series of initials in
the index. Not being overly fond
of guessing games we contented
ourselves with reading the lit
erary substance of the booklet
and found it well written, inter
esting, full of local color, and
recommend it as an excellent
gift to send to friends in the
States or to add to your own
collection of Alaskania.
Maurice Kelliher is another ar
riving Kougaroker—mav their
tribe increase and prosper. Mau
rice, who has been mining for
several years past on the upper
Kougarok river expects to spend
most of the winter in Nome, re
turning to Taylor in the early
spring.
George Taggart, Dawson born,
and son of salesman Sam, arriv
ed from the Noxapaga yesterday i
via plane from a season of pro
specting and mining in the low
er Kougarck section. In case you |
don’t recognize him, he’s the
long fellow with the scraggly
beard and spike moustache—!
both slightly red.
Bill Kroll and Fred Barnoffsky
mining a few miles down the
beach from Nome for several
seasons past, came into town for
a few days visit and to transact
business. Fred reports that upon
his arrival in Nome he found
most of the windows of his town
cabin broken, apparently the
work of mischievious boys.
Sometime during the past
week the source of Nome’s elec- i
trie Igiht supply was changed ov
er from the power plant of the
U. S. Smelting, Refining and Min
ing Co. to the city plant operated
by the Northern Light and Pow
er Company.
