WILL CRY WOLF ONCE TOO
MANY TIMES
The danger of sending in false
fire alarms does not seem to be
realized by the person or persons
who have been “pulling” the al
arm box at the Catholic Church.
Several times during the past
several months false alarms have
come in from this particular box.
Last night at 9:00 o’clock an
other alarm was received, and the
^eedv motorized department
made the run, only to discover
there was no fire, and no one was
about.
Fires are a horrible example
of carelessness and inefficient
management, without having a
prankster send in alarms which
call departments to the scene.
Speed and efficiency in answer
ing alarms call for the utmost
in training and ability. Nome has
a Volunteer Department which
answers all alarms. The members
of this department range from
laborers to business owner, who
drop whatever they are doing and
rush to catch the truck and get
to the scene of a reported blaze.
The opportunity for accidents to
occur while answering alarms is
also great—and yet, some people
believe it is fun to turn in a fal
se alarm—just to see the depart
ment make the run.
Every city in the world has
stringent laws covering such al
arms, and penalties for the per
son caught turning them in. Nome
is no exception. And once the
offender is apprehended he can
expect to be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law.
Chief of Police Laws has an
nounced that today he has sev- i
eral persons under suspicion and
soon may be able to discover who
the offender is. More power to
the department—and should the
“wise guy” be caught, he should
be given every degree of punish- j
ment possible under the law.
Nome has had her experience 1
with fires and wants no more dis- i
astrous blazes. False alarms are
a danger to every person and
organization in the city, besides
jeoparizing life and limb, and the
fine equipment now in use to
protect the city against any re
occurence of the 1934 debacle.

Two Kinds of Claims
.. It is very important to distin
guish between a lode and a pla
cer deposit... If a deposit is lode,
it should be staked as a lode
claim: If it is placer, it should be
staked as a placer claim... If both
a lode and a placer deposit are
found in the same area, it should
be located as both a placer and
a lode claim.

Legislative Plan
At noon yesterday the Direct
ors of the N. W. Alaska Chamber
of Commerce met at the Nevada
Grill with a full attendance.
After disposing of routine mat
ters, including a very nice lunch
eon, considerable discussion was
engaged in concerning a tentative
legislative program, which is to
be submitted at a general meet
ing calld for Nov. 10, at which
time the full program will be
formally adopted.
' As a measure of assistance in
the formulation of this program,
it was decided to extend an in
vitation to all Seward Peninsula
mining operators, to attend the
next luncheon meeting of the
chamber for the purpose of hear
ing at first hand something of
their actual working conditions,
and their ideas of what is need
ed to assist the average miner
and the indiustry generally in this
section. This meeting is schedul
ed for Tuesday Oct. 18.
Dont forget to leave your name
and address for the Nugget to be
