"The Eskimo” says edtiorially
"There seems to be a desire on the
part of Nomeites to have the rein
deer fair held at Nome. A worthy
desire indeed. But consider, good
friends, consider. You have no mos3
around your town in the place where
the moss ought *o grow. You might
get the reindeer fair if you could pro
vide fare for the reindeer.”
Nome Aerie No. io, t'. O. E., had its
regular weekly meeting last night and
.nitiated a clas of ten. Twenty two
applications for membership were

meeting on Tuesday night the recen- ly
elected officers will be installed. Mem •
bers declare enthusiastically that the
local aerie is prospering greatly.
