NOME VISITORS
Recent visitors in town were
T. J. McWatters and Lester Sum
rail who flew in with Don Brady
of the Wien Airways W dnesday
i from Fairbanks and returned to
[ the Interior City yesterday.
Mr. McWatters is connected
with Cory and Jolsin of San Fran
cisco, the firm of mechanical en
gineers which installed tha power
plant at Ladd Field. He reports
that the work has all been com
pleted now and although he is
the last one of the company left
in the vicinity, Mr. McWatters
felt the irresistable urge to see
Nome before leaving the Terri
■ tory. “I did not feel as though I
had seen Alaska until I had been
in Nome, because to people in the
States ‘Nome’ means ‘Alaska,’
he said.
Mr. Sumrall has been making
an extended trip through the
Territory, visiting in the various
| localities. He has been lectur
{ ing and showing pictures which
| he has taken on his travels t
many parts of the world.

ONLY TWO LEFT IN
NOME QUEEN CONTEST
There are two candidates left
in the race for Miss Nome. Dor
j othy Nelson and Jane Jon:s
shook hands fbr the last time
Thursday noon at a luncheon
given them by the Arctic Club at
the North Pole Bakery. The fine
points of their race were ironed
out and their respective commit
tees announced.
Bill Malcolm, A1 Gebhardt and
Mrs. T. O. Givan are campaign
ing for Miss Jones, while Dor
othy has Kay Walsh, Yvonne
Moze;, Jane Nelson and Sig Wien
working as the committee. Others
: are selling tickets for both girls
' and plenty of enthusiasm is be
! mg shown. Miss Gertrude “Cis
: sie” Johansen has retired from
j the race. It was the wish of the
; contestants and the board of dir
| ectors that Queen Manager Jack
j Thomas return all votes to their
respective voters. In the event
that the voters name is not at
tached, the votes for “Cissie” are
to be equally divided between
Jane and Dorothy. There were
| only two people who were glad
to see “Cissie” withdraw from
' the race & one of these two will
be crowned “Miss Nome” and
| sent to Fairbanks—and then—to
the States as Miss Alaska!
Boost our Queen and if you
an; in doubt as to this title’s ap
propriatness, just take a second
look.
Mr. Ben Mozee and Chief of
Police Laws have been appoint
ed judges to assist Manager Jack
I in counting votes. Every two
days the votes are to be counted
; and checked by the three judges
, and placed in a central ballot box
which will be taken to the High
School for the final drawing and
, a check count make. Up to the
present time the ballot box count
i ‘3:
Jane Jones — 3.000.
Dorothy Nelson — 1.900.
The race is still on and is more
like a battle between queens—
than an attempt to find one.
Your votes are good until the
last. Help us keep up to date by
depositing your tickets at once.

Weather Bureau “card” and com
