* to the Red Cross, thereby assisting
Bivatly to swell the Red Cross week

The steamer I,atouehe arrived In
: the roadstead from St. Michael Sun
day morning but was unable ro dis
charge cargo owing to the high surf.
■ The lug freight.:! has a good sized
cargo of oil to discharge here be
fore proceeding 'p Seattle.
The Red Cross and pastry sale held
at Polet's Saturday was a great suc
cess and the entire stock of cakes and
pnsteries baked by Nome's most ac
complished housewives was disposed
of In short order. Some of the cakes
brought as high as $2.50. The saly
netted a nice sum for the fund.
The ladies of the Kegoayah Kozga
are preparing for the annual children's
day picnic which Is scheduled for
Wednesday, June 27. However, If
weather conditions are unfavorable
the picnic will be postponed until the
first nice day. All children in Nome
are Invited to attend, and also their

A recent report that the city tele
graph office is to he moved to the
wireless station is denied by the offi
cials in charge who assert that a
new lease has been taken on the pres
ent quarters. It is stated, however,
that a change of location was con
templated for a time but was later
discarded.

The high surf yesterday caused a
great scattering of the ships In the
harbor. The mosquito fleet, with the
exception of one vessel, has entered
the river or fled for the lee of Sledge
island. The Latouche and Valdez are
lying far out in the roadstead waiting
for the blow to subside—which it ap
pears little inclined to do today.
Owing to the storm preventing the
steamer 1-atouche from clearing, the
mail for that vessel is still open at
the postofflce. As the high surf still
continues along the coast the time
of departure is problematical. The
steamer Skagway with a second batch
of outside mail should arrive about
Thursday. The Skagway left Seattle
June 18 and will consume about ten
days en route.
j Shipping men express some anxiety
over the long absence of the schooner
| Ram which left Nome for the Siberian
coast on a trading trip some weeks
; age. Others contend, however, that
a° the boat Is controlled and manned
! by natives, they are probably loitering
j with their dusky skinned brothers of
j the other coast and may not appear
In Nome for some time.

An Interesting children’s day pro
gram of exercises was held at the
Federated church Saturday evening.
Songs and recitations by various
members of the Sunday school classes
were offered and the pastor, Dr. John
Parsons, delivered an Interesting and
instructive address. Space will not
allow detailed mention of the exer
cises and participants, the program
comprising twenty live numbers, and
therefore, too long to publish
Tonight Fania Marinoft who made
a hit hero last summer In "New York"
will star In "The Unsuspected Isles."
The story Is out of the ordinary and
extremely Interesting. The comedy
number will be furnished by "Shorty"
Hamilton In "Shorty Becomes an
Actor,’ a two part laugh-maker. To
morrow night John Johnson and his
world famous Siberian Jogs will he
shown in "The Deathlock," a five part
Alaskan drama.
The schooner Arctic Is expected to'
arrive front H< orer bay at any .line,
ind will on' •* • the coastwise trade Im
mediately. The last reports from
Hooker bay last fall stated that the
vessel was afloat in a lagoon and
little or no labor would be required
to place her in active service this
spring. With the present high water!
it is probable that the schooner has!
been able to clear the high bar at
I he entrance of Hooper bay ir.d Is
now on the way to Nome.
John A. Wilson, chairman of the
territorial road commission commis
sion, departed for Marshall on the
Silver Wave to look over the road
situation in that section. Reports say '
that the road question Is an extremely
vital one In that region, as travel Is
increasing between the river landing
and the town and roads are practical
ly nil. Some little work was done by
the Alaska road commission last year
although hardly sufficient to meet the
needs.

A packed house greeted the initial
number at the Red Cross movie show

dition to an entertaining program of
pictures presented by the management
vocal selections were rendered by
Mrs. Davis Runyon, Mrs. Leonard Sep
pala and Messrs. Rouse and Gabrlel
son. Miss Bertha Johnson, the tal
ented young vtoinist, also contributed
a number of violin selections which
added greatly to the program.
The Nugget is In receipt of an ex
ceptionally well detailed wall map of
Alaska from the Alaska road commis
sion. In addition to showing many
many geographical features of the
territory' not usually found on even
the best maps of Alaska, the map also
dsplays inserts of the Aleutian pen
insula and the various island groups
as far north as the Mackenzie river.
All roads, trails and wagon roads are
also defined as well as the various
wireless stations throughout the ter
ritory, making the map the most
comprehensive that has yet come to
attention. Copies may be secured by
addressing the Alaska road commis
sion, Valdez, enclosing the sum of fl.
General information regarding the
territory of Alaska Is the title of an
interesting and valuable work on the
territory, Its history, geography, cli
mate, population and government ad
ministration Issued by the department
of the Interior In March of the pres

authoritative that has yet been pub
lished and contains a wealth of In
formation not generally known to the
public. Copies may be obtained by
applying to the office of the secretary
of the department at Washington.
